The QUESTION OF STATEHOOD
LLnspH sDIscUssE H1NGToN

Gratis were all for it, while the Repub-
licans were afraid in many cases to
present a bold front against it, on ac-
count of the possibility of future re-
yenges when the three actually begin
to send members to the electoral coll
lege.
1t often happens that one House
passes bill in spirit Of insincerity,
leaving the other to correct any errors,
and relying confidently upon it's doing
so. A score of srch measures get
through one House or the other at
every session. But the advocates of
by securing an agreement
in the Senate to vote on December 3,
which then seemed long way off, have
brought the question to an issue at
time when the Senate is no more ready
to act than was the House.
The committee on Territories have
not, it believed, even made a report
in this Congress. Certainly President
Roosevelt, in his annual message, did
not recommend the admission of these

who is just down from the north, the
practice has been systematized and is
now conducted as a business PROPOSE
tion. A big syndicate, backed by east
ern capital. has agents in the field on
the lookout for opportunities of Jump
ing valuable claims. It is a winning
game either way: il the jumper can
make the title good it is, a big killing,
but at any rate the real owner would
rather pay round sum than have his
claim tied up in litigation. The new
concern expects to pay dividends.
Black is a California man, on. his
way to San Francisco for the winter.
Two of his claims have been Jumped
and he is forced into a contest, for he
declares he will not compromise Ac-
cording to his story the agents of the
sharper company are very active.
1T is known that claim jumping
has not been so prevalent since the
early days as it has been the past fall.
With the opening of court the judici-
ary will have its hands full of Iitiga-
tion in consequence. Men who have
plouded along trying TO get something
out of the country have had their claim
disputed by men who have just arrived
and this fact lends color to the belief
that an organized company is promot-
ing claim Jumping as business.
THE gains of such company come

will make in many cases rather than
go to the cost of litigation, Scores of
men would rather pay few hundred
dollars to avert an intentional wrong
than to go into court, and, at the ex-
pense of lost time and possibly an un-
limited amount of money, prove that a
conspiracy existed. The season at
Nome is so short that the loss of

Secretary Root
FdVOrS 6dnt66n

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-Secretary
Root has begun the preparation of his
annual report, which this year will be
of particular interest to the army. as
It will contin special recommendations
recording general staff, the Army
, War College, the militia and scheme
for annual maneuvers.
Secretary Root is said to be deter
mined to express himself in positive
terms in favor Of the establishment
OF the army canteen and his report
will include recommendation on this
subject. He will also again recon-
mend to Congress legislation favoring
consolidation of the, supply depots of
the army, as he believes considerable
Improvement will result from placing
the Quartermaster's, Subsistence and
Pay departments under one head, with
out at the same time destroying the
individual character of each bureau.
Another feature of the report will
relate to the reduction of the mill
tary force during the past year from
more than 10000 men to the minimum
provided by law of less than 10000.
He will point out that this reduction
was accomplished gradually and with
out detriment to the interests of the
country, the improved situation in the
Philippines permitting a withdrawal
of large force to the United States
and a reduction of the army to about
$4,000 men as early as last July. This
was further reduced to 10000 on Octo-
Der 1, and another reduction is now in
progress, so that within short time
the army will be at the minimum.
Secretary Root will urge a more lib
eral appropriation by Congress for the
training Of militia In the field with reg
ular soldiers.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
L,IABLE FOR DHMHGES
The New York Supreme Court
Holds Theu Cannot Limit the
Monetary DAMAGES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-That express
companies cannot limit the amount or
monetary damages sustained by the
sender of goods by reason of loss il
transit is the basis of an important
decision handed down in the Appellate
term of the Supreme Court today The
opinion affects every express company
in America, and means the loss of
thousands and thousands OF dollars
each year.
The decision was reached ir a suit
brought by Jacob c. Simon, an ex-
tensive hosiery dealer of No. 512 Broad
way. He had sent by the Duniap Ex-
press company pair of curta MS worth
$3.50, which. he declared. were lost in
transit. The company said it was re-
sponsible only to the extent Of $50. as
that stipulation was made Oh all of it's
receipts. Jacobs sued, got Judgment,
and the case was carried to the higher
court.
This is the decision in part.
Upon the failure to deliver the prop
erty the plaintiff was entitled to main
tain this action against the defendant
for the value of his goods delivered by
those acting for him and received for
transportation. His recovery is not
limited to the amount fixed in the re-
ceipt, which does not protect the car
rier against it's own negligence, es-
pecially in the absence Of explanation
of nondelivery."

Territories although he was strongly
urged to do so. and from his Rough
Rider association was expected to have
a warm feeling toward the new South
west. He gave. as his reason for not
making this recommendation that the
complication over what to do with the
Indian Territory, in case Oklahoma was
admitted as State without it, seemed
to him so serious that he wanted more
time to think about it. This same
complication is no nearer settlement
now than last December.
The local politicians of the region
would like two States instead of one,
and they present some rather strong
reasons to show that the Indian Ter
fitory should not be merged with Ok
lahoma But does the rest OF the coun-
try want four new States in that quar-
ter with eight new Senators?

les has wisely planned trip of in

ably be in readiness for the Senate on

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. 13.-The
Washington Star. independent in poll
tics, but with strong Republican lean
ings, has the following to say regarding
the position of the Statehood measure:
Congress will plunge into hard work
on it's assembling in December.
Wednesday, the third day of the ses-
sion has been set in the Senate for the
consideration of the bill which has al
ready passed the House for the ad-
mission of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma to Statehood.
This means that one of the most.
important questions of many years is
to be settled practically without de-
bate in the Senate, and after action in
the House which was assumed at the
time to be more or less fareical. That
body wanted to do some thing to help
the Republican candidates in the Ter
ritories at the fall elections, and so it
finally decided, in a spirit of good ma
ture, to let the bill pass. The Demo-

Pennsylvania and a large part of New

Ttives Payne and Sherman are not can

Mir. Cannon will have his own state,

and moral resources of the would-be
States and their guarantees of per-
manence.
Several arguments favor the admis-
sion of these territories. Under ou
system they will have to be admitted
sooner or later. and a few years one
way or the other might make little
difference in the life of nation. The
Democrats, on returning to power,
will surely admit themy and many Re-
publicans feel that their party might
just as well gain favor in those COM
munities by comforting upon them the
great boon of statehood as to leave this
advantage to it's opponent.
New Mexico, practically promised
admission to the Union at the time OF
the Mexican cession, has for more than
half century urged it's claims upon
Congress. Oklahoma is abundantly
large for state, and no one objects
to it's admission, especially if the In

USED SHOT GUN
ON HIMSELF

KENTON, O., Nov. 13.-The village
of Forest, north of here, is in a tur-
moil of excitement, caused by the ter
rible deed of James Young, crazed by
drink. After he had thrown his wife
and children out of the house Young
shot the marshal of the village, John
Handchey, in the face, tearing off his
left cheek, carefully saving one barrel
OF his shotgun for himself Pursued
by citizens, he put the end of the gun
in his mouth and blew himself into
eternity.
Young became drunk this morning
at A0:30 o'clock and went to his home.
HA first destroyed the furniture HIS
wife having demonstrated with him,
he thrust her and his little children
into the street, telling them to keep
out of his way, that he meant to kill
them
The neighbors saw the actions of the
Iaan, and "telephoned for the village
marshal, John Handchey. Young was
waiting for him. The marshal came
into the yard while Young secreted
himself in an upper story. Before the
marshal could get away shotgun was
poked from a gable window upstairs
and the load was fired at him. The
distance was only about twenty feet.
The shot struck Handchey on the left
side OF the face, tearing the greater
part of his cheek away. Handchey, in
spite ofef1is terrible wounds, run up
town and gave the alarm.
Mayor J. D. Miller at once swore in
some deputies and armed them with
rifles and went after Young. He was
standing at the side of the house. They
called to him to ''put down your gun
and come to the middle of the street"
Young advanced to the center of the
street He put the muzzle of the gun
against the roadbed and said: 'Tt is
not loaded"
AS the mayor and posse of deter
mined men stood there. Young walked
an adjoining house as if in meditation.
Suddenly he went to the rear of it.
Turning SO that he was facing the
posse he placed the muzzle of the shot
gun to, his lips and pulled the trigger.

head from his nose up disappeared.
