PRESIDENT AGAINST QUAY
IN SENATOR'S FIGHT FOR OMNI-
BtS STATEHOOD BILL.
Roosevelt Has Told Several senators That
lie IL strongly Opposed to the Al.
mission Of Arizona and New Mexico
At This Time aucus TO he Held soon.

WASHINGTON, Dec The influence Of
the President IN being felt In the Statehood
fight in the Senate, although there has been
no public statement of the Presidents at
ttude He has talked with several Sena-
tors and told them all that after long con-
sideration he had reached the conclusion
that Oklahoma is the only Territory at
present fitted for Statehood
At first he vas inclined 10 favor the ad-
mission OF all three Territories, but study
81 conditions in New Mexico and Arizona
convinced him that the time had not yet
arrived for taking the irrevocable step
Of admit ing them TO Statehood.
The Presidents reasons against admitting
New Mexico are that the population of the
Territory is backward. both In learning the
English language and in active participa-
ton in political life. The courts, he has
noted. are conducted largely in Spanish
for the convenience Of the population.
Ar for Arizona, the President believes
that the agricultural resources Of the Terri
tory have been developed quite fully and
not many more people may be expected
to settle there to till the soil. especially in
view of the fact that the land left available
is arid and can only be developed by costly
irrigation works
The mining regions of Arizona. while
they are now at the height of prosperity,
may not always be so, and the population Of
mining regions is always unstable
President Roosevelt's views ara being
made known quietly to number of Senators
who showed signs OF favorlng the omnibus
bill, and the result has been to make them
pause and consider.
Senator Quay profcssed TO have eighteen
Republican Senators on his side last week
His latest claim, it is understood, is four
teen, and three names on this list are chal-
lcnged-Platt Of New York. Scott OF West
Virginia and Clark of Wyoming. Scott is
inquest ionably in favor Of the Oklahoma
bill
The Republican Senators who are gen
orally Understood to favor the omnibus
Statehood bill are Quay, Penrose,
Wellington, Mitchell, Mason. Stewart.

dents attitude IL known 70 I hem there NAV

He lost nearly the whole of his caravan
owing to travelling at enormous attitudes.
Even the valleys were higher than the
summit of Mont Blanc. The mere act
Of breathing was most difficult.
-Four members Of the expedition died
simply BECAUSE they could not breathe
the rarefied air. Two died gradually from
their feet upward, retaining their senses to
the end. the brain being the last attacked.
Sven Hedin was less affected than the
others, but he was quite unable to walk,
and only saved himself by keeping immov-
able in the saddle from morning until camp
was pitched in the evening. Even un-
buttoning his coat involved acute pain
and tension to an overwrought heart. which
was literally at the point Of breaking. Icy
