Washington, June 25.-In few min
.utes today the Senate disposed for this
session of the omnibus statehood ques
tion, which has been pending for several
days. Mr. Beveridge, of Indiana, Chair
man of the Committee on Territories, an
nounced that a report of the bill before
the committee would be made on the
third day of next session. This was
satisfactory to Mr.. Quay, (Penn.), who
after securing an agreement that the
committees report should be the unfin-
ished business on and after the tenth OF
December until it was disposed of,
withdrew his motion to discharge the
committee from further consideration of
the measure. After Mr.. McCumber, (N.
d., had discussed the pending pure food
bill and Mr.. Gallinger, IN. H.), had de-
livered an extended argument to show
that the present prosperity of the coun-
try was due to the operations of the
Dingley Tariff law, the Senate took up
the calendar end passed large number
of bills of minor importance.
The conference report on the Army
Appropriation bill was agreed to, thus

pleted. BY an amendment offered by Mr..

struction of the constitution can be ap-
pealed from the Supreme court of the
islands to the Supreme court of the
United States. and by another offer by
Mr.. LittIefeld (Me.) one corporation in
the islands is prohibited from holding
stock in another. These were the only
amendments of Importance adopted. The
earlier portion of the day was devoted
to the consideration Of conference reports
upon the Sundry Civil, Army and Naval
Appropriation bills. The House adopted
a proposition agreeable to the Senate
upon the disputed items in the army bill,
and by vote of 63 to % refused to
agree to the Senate amendments to the
naval bill providing for five submarine
torpedo boats. No agreement was
req ched on the question of building ships
in Government yards. The bill was sent
back to conference. The conference re-
port on the Sundry Civil Bill was
agreed to.
Among the Senate amendments to the
Army Appropriation Bill agreed to by
the House was one providing for Sc, $50,
