The statehood Question.

The st. Louis Globe.Democrat says
editorially:
Senator Quay Is raising up some
difficulties for his party in the ques-
tion of the admission of the territories
and incidentally he is iniurlng his own
side. It Is his intention to let In OKLA
homa. New Mexico and Arizona In the
present session. leaving the matter of
the disposition of the Indian Territory
10 be settled later. He is determined
that New Mexico and Arizona shall be
let in at once and that he urged, dur
ing the recent congressional canvass.
the election of Democratic delegate
from Arizona, and the defeat of the
Republican candidate, so as to make
sure OF the support of the Democrats
for his admission scheme. His Dem
ocratic candidate carried Arizona, and
now he appears to think that, having
the Democrats enlisted on his side. he
can disregard the voice of the major
ity Of his party in his chamber.
The Republicans Of the senate. as
shown by the attitude of their party
on the committee of territories. are
Overwhelmingly opposed TO the admls-
sion of any of the territories at pres
ent except Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory united in one state. The
members of the committee have learn.
ed the disposition of their party in
their chamber and are acting in ac-
cordance with H. The whole matter
of the admission of the territories has
been postponed to Monday, and there
Is a chance that at that time the Penn
sylvania senator will find himself a
good Jeal weaker than he imagines he
is In accusing his own party OF lying
on the question of admission of the
territories he is supplementing his
triekery in antagonizing the party in
che election in Arizona. and Is injur.
ing instead OF aiding his cause.
A few weeks ago the senate's com.
mitee's on territories made visit to
the three candidates for statehood took
an intelligent look over the ground
and its views of the situation have
been voiced in its report. II favors
the admission OF the Indian Territory
and Oklahoma as a single state. in &C
cordance with the views of a large ma
lority of the people OF the two terri
tories, and it wants New Mexico and
Arizona TO remain out for while lon
ger. There can be no doubt that the
committee is actuated by the best oi
motives in this matter, and It's view
appeals with force to the majority o.
The Republicans in its chamber ant
throughout the country. A hard con
test. however. is before the senat,
on this question, which may result il
the postponement of the admission o
the territories for this session Of con
gress. This would be a misfortune S,
far as regards Oklahoma and its neigh
Dor on the east.

Everywhere up the Volga and its
hundred tributaries ascend the iron
barges of the Caspian sea oil feet,
while through the canals to st. Peters
burg alone pass annually during the
215 days of free navigation thousands
of steamers and barges bearing mil
lions of tons Of freight. Every known
means of locomOtion is used from
men who, like oxen, tramp the tow
paths, hauling the smaller barges, to
powerful tugs that creep along by
means Of an endless chain laid in the
bed of the canals and minor rivers,
dragging after them at snail pace great
caravans of heavy barges.

the mileage is increased to nearly TO-

Fifty thousand RATS are fioated
down the Volga annually, many Of
them 100 feet long by thick, and this
gives but a faint idea Of the real traffic

100000 tons Of produce passing up
and down the river during the open

steamers and barges come from all
parts of Russia, bringing goods to be

ty thousand craft, including RATS, are
required for this traffic. They come

New Jersey and vicinity as the mos
quito has a color sense so extremely
keen that it exerts a great influence on
its life and methods. 1t appears that
this rapaciOus insect has a pronounced
preference for dark blue and a decided
aversion to yellow. This fact should
set the fashion in pajamas colOrs and
lead the baldheaded Jerseyman to
adopt the practice of incasing his dome

next Monday they would determine
which of the companies would be
taken up first, and the place of meet
Ing could be determined by the loca-
ton of the coal company taken UP.
Mr.. Baer made point of saying that
If the case of each coal company
would be dealt with separately he
would contend for the sliding scale in
the regulation of wages.

proft-sharing plan" he said, which
gave us peace formerly in our relation

pany. said he noticed that the word
arbitration" had been applied to the
commissions work, while he wanted
1t considered as an investigation.
Judge Gray said the presidents in
struction settled that as an arbitra.
tion.
The question of the examination
by the commission into the conditions
under which the mining of anthracite
Soal is conducted was then entered on,
and Mr.. Watkins. of the commission
suggested that a week or ten DAYS
time would be necessary in order tc
klake an adequate examination of the
physical conditions about the mines
Re appealed to Mr.. Thomas for his
opinion as to the time necessary, and
mat gentleman replied: "You will Ger
tainly need that much time; ! should
think that 80 days would be none toe
little. We've grown gray in our study
of that question"
Mr.. Baer also fell in with the sug-
gestion. saying that it would be i'm
possible to do justice to the investiga-
ton without a complete physical in
spection OF the mines and the methods
Of operating them. Mr.. Mitchell
thought that not only should there be
an inspection of the mines, but also
Of the homes of the miners. He con
sidered this investigation necessary tc
a complete understanding Of the sub
ject
Commission Will Accept No Favors.
While the subject was being con
sidered, Mr.. Baer said that the mine
operators would furnish all facilities
at their command to enable the com
mission to make its investigation thor

special train at the disposal of tn,
