TO GET STATEHOOD.
0klahoma's Delegate Receives I'm
portapt Advices.
Tho Territory to Be In tho Union-Deiegats
Flynn Positive That Oklahoma VIII
Become State Early Thia
Winter.

Guthrie, Ok, Nov. 12.-Delegate
Dennis Flynn was notified last night
that his fight for statehood for Ok
lahoma has been practically won and
that the senate committee on terrific
ries will report favorable action for
the immediate admission of this ter
ritory. Mr.. Flynn is elated over the
announcement and says there now is
no doubt of statehood. He says that,
Judging from his advices, the senate
committee, now visiting the terrific
ries which seek admission as states,
will probably not come to Oklahoma,
having already decided upon favor
able action for this territory. Acting
on this advice he leaves to-day for
Washington, quite positive that Okla
homa will become a state early this
winter. Mr.. Flynn says that when
the news of republican victory in
Oklahoma reached Senator Beveridge
in Washington the latter said then
that Oklahoma had won her fight.
An important statehood meeting
was held in this city yesterday, at
which the most prominent republic
ans in the territory participated.
Delegate Flynn, Chief Justice Bur-
ford, United States Attorney Horace
Speed, National Committeeman
Grimes, United States Marshal Fos-
sett and others discussed the Flynn
omnibus statehood bill, and every
effort will be made to have the bill
become a law this winter. Delegate
Flynn said he had made arrange
ments with the delegates from Ari-
IONA and New Mexico for the passage
of the omnibus bill, but if he sees IL
cannot pass he will go after state
hood for Oklahoma alone.

CHALLENGED TO A DUEL.
Peter Arlund Wants Col. Wetmore to Do
Battle with Him with sword,
Gun or Pistol.

St. Louis, Nov. 12.-Peter Arlund
a promoter of Louisville, KY, yester-
day challenged Col. NJ. c. Wetmore,
millionaire and former tobacco mag
nate, to duel. Sunday night Arlund
and Wetmore had some difficulty in
the lobby of the Planters, during
which blows were exchanged. The
challenge to a duel is the result Of
that alteration. Arlund, in the
challenge which was mailed to Col.
Wetmore, states that he is not an
American citizen, but lieutenant
Of the Danish army, and demands
that Col. Wetmore do battle with him
with a sword, gun or pistol. Nothing
has been learned from Col. Wetmore
regarding the challenge.

RS To BE REDUCED.
South Will Weld Less Power In Re-
publican National Conventions.
President Roosevelt and His Advisers De-
termined That Republicans Below Ma
son and Dixon's Line Must Mako
Better Showing ar Suffer.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The southern
representation in the next republican
national convention is to be reduced
to something like reasonable ratio
% the proportion of votes cast in the
south. President Roosevelt, it may
be stated upon the highest author
ity, has approved this proposition,
which has been urged for several
years by men prominent in the coun-
ellis Of the republican party. He has
decided, with other party leaders,
that the time has passed when there
should be further temporizing with
q problem that has been aggressively
prominent in republican politics for
many years. 1t has been decided that
the republican party in the south, If
II is to have q considerable voice in
the party councils in the future, must
establish it's claim to recognition by
reorganization and by results accom-
plished at the polls. This is in keep
ing with the presidents plan, an
nounced some time ago, of reorganiz-
ing the party in the southern states
and making it something more than
close corporation for the peddling
Of federal patronage. The decision,
in which the party leaders now fully
concur, to limit the representation
from the southern states in the next
convention was reached after study
of the results of Tuesdays election.
No matter what the causes, the fact
remains that the south, which is rep
resented by 1875 seats in the house,
has given the republicans but four
members, two in Tennessee, one in
Missouri and one in Kentucky.

POINTED MASON OUT.
Negro Said It Was from the Harvard
Graduate He Secured watches OF
the Murdered Girls.

Boston, Nov. 1O.-George L. o.
Perry, the negro who pawned the
watches taken from the murdered
women, Miss Clara A. Morton and
Miss Agnes McPhee, declared yester-
day that Alan G. Mason is the man
from whom he received these articles.
Perry was taken to the Jail in East
Cambridge, where Mason, under ar.
rest on the charge of killing Miss
Morton, is confined pending hearing
in the Cambridge court to-day. In
one Of the Jail corridors Perry posi-
lively identified Mason as the man
who had given him the watches.
The fact that the negro accused
Mason of giving him the watches
did not give the police any false con-
fidence that the mystery of the series
of brutal crimes had been solved.
