THE STATEHOOD FIGHT.
CUBAN RECIPROCITY DISPLACED AS AN
OBJECT OF THE SENATE'S INTEREST.

Washington. June 24.-Tte Omnibus State
hood bill has displaced the Cuban reciprocity
measure as an object of interest in the Senate.
For the present the concern of Senators centres
around Mr. Quay's motion to discharge the
Committee on Territories from further consid-
GRAFTON OF the bill. with the purpose Of bringing
it into the Senate for immediate consideration
There is determined opposition to the motion on
the part of the ma jority of Republican Sena-
tors.
The Statehood forces claim a majority of two,
which would give them thirteen of the Repubh-
can Senator's the Democratic side being solid.
The opposition do not absolutely concede the
correctness of this claim, but they admit there
enough doubtful votes to make it possible,
and say that until they have unqualified assur-
ances of the forty-five votes necessary to lay
the motion on the table they will prevent vote
on II. The friends of the bill have offered to
cease their efforts in q day early in the
next session of Congress can be named for re-
porting the bill to the Senate and for taking it
up by that body, but this concession has not been
made. Senator Beveridge, the chairman OF the
Committee on Territories has told them that If
they would leave the matter entirely in his
hands the bill would be reported early in De
Cember. Apparently. however, this is not salts
factory, and the present outlook is that the
situation Will continue unchanged for time.
There is even talk that the day of final ad-
journnent may be postponed by it, but this is
not proba Bile.
