II the present so Ision OF Con-
gress is protracted un I'll the mid
die of July, asnow see ms probable
an effort will be mad q 70 secure
the Passage OF the hou 90 bill pro-
viding statehood for Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Ariz ina. This
decision has been reacl Ied, after a
conference between the delegates
from the three territorie Gnd SEN
ators Quay and Elkins.
Senator Quay is a iember OF
the senate committee on territories
and has promised to make
special effort to secure favorable
report upon the bill a = it came
from the house. He has made a
canvass of the committee. and has
assured the delegates tba "a ma
jority OF the members Of th, COM
mittee will vote for favorA. bic re-
port upon the bill and will urge
it's passage by the senate
Senator Elkins is also enth usi-
astically in favor Of the bill md
has agreed to make its passsgs a
personal matter, so far as possiol g.
H believes that there will be /
least fifty votes for the bill in Sht
senate il the COMMITTEES will export
it favorably. He and Sen atOr
Quay will make personal req uest
for a report of the measure by the
committee.
Senator Beveridge Of India na,
chairman of the senate commit tee
on territories, has been genera uy
understood to be opposed to he
bill. He has assured the frien De
OF statehood that he has taken } 10
position on the bill, but has b =
lieved it would be impossible I o
have the measure considered a
the present session of congress
He has stated also that he will
not oppose a report on the bill by
the committee II friends Of the
measure will furnish him the es.
surance that there is a prospect OF
sec turing action upon the measure
before adjournment.
The canvass that has been made
among the senators shows that the
opposition to the bill is not as
pronounced as il was earlier in the
session. Senator Quay is con.
vinoed that the bill should be
passed. He has been urged by
large number Of PennsylvaniAns to
support the bill on account Of the
Investments made in the terri.
tories by eastern capitalists who
are anxious. for statehood. 1t is
stated that at least s10, ,000,0 600 Of
Pennsylvania and New Yoik cap.
ital have already been invested in
mining and railroad enterprises in
New Mexico and Arizona and that
this sum would be largely ineieas.
ed If the territories we're admitted |
TO statehood.
Senators Quay and Elkins will
make n further effort during the
present week to secure a report
from the committee and pave the
way for consideration Of the meas
ure by the sc nate. While there is
no certainty that action will be
considered friends Of stiaehoo d
