House Without Division.
Washington. May 10.-The oppo-
sition in the house to the bill for the
admission of Oklahoma. Arizona and
New Mexico collapsed at the last min.
ute yesterday. and the bill was passed
without division as II came from the

amendments. The real test came on
an amendment offered by Oyerstreet

zona and admit them as the state OF
Montezuma. It was beaten. 2S to l6,
and all opposition then ceased. The
closing scenes Of the debate we're &C.

which narrowly escaped being trag-
edy. Delegate Mark A. Smith "a. IT,,
who has been fighting for the admls-
sion of his territory for dozen years,
had just made vigorous speech
against the Overstreet amendment.
when he was seized with a rush OF
blood to the head. He was conveyed
to the lobby. where several physicians,
who are members Of the house, by the
prompt administration of powerful
heart stimulants saved him from n
stroke Of apoplexy. He later rallied
and was removed to his hotel.

NOT HOPEFUL OF PEACE.
London Times Says Issue OF Confer
ercc Is Uncertain.

Louion, May 12.-The Times relates
the course of the peace negotiations
as follows:
On receipt of the Dutch CORE
spondence, intlmatng that Great Brit
ain was ready to listen to proposals
from tho Beers in the field, Acting
President of the Transvaal Schalk-
burger came TO the lines and asked
permission to consult with Mr.. Steyn.
former president of the Orange Free
State. This led to the Boer delegates
going to Pretoria. Their first pro.
posal to Lord Kitchener and Lord Mil
ner, the British high commissioner IN
South Africa. was that the republics
should merely concede all the de.
nands made by Great Britain l gard
Ing the franchise, etc. before the war.
The government. in reply, referred
them to the Middleberg conference as
the maximum CT possible concessions
and refused permission to the Boer,
to consult their friends In Europe.
Eventually, while refusing an armis-
tice, Lord Kitchener undertook not to
molest the burghers while they We're
actually holding meetings with the
commanders on the basis of independ-
ence, but they were told it was useless
to return to Pretoria without being
armed with full powers to negotiate.
Mr.. Schalkburger assented to this,
but Mr.. Steyn's acquiescence seemed
doubtful. Mail advices from Pretoria,
continues the Times, declare that
Lords Kitchener and Miner promised
generous compensation for burned
farms, raised no difficulty with regard
to the pardon of banished leaders and
gave assurances that the question of
amnesty for rebels did not present in
superable difficulties. The Times, in
an editorial on this feature. is not
hopeful that peace will be the outcome
and fears that the election of liberal
as member OF parliament for Bury.
Lancashire, will influence the Beers
to further resistance.

FORAKER OUTLINES POLICY.
Ohio Senator Says II Is Necessary to
Keep PHILIPPINES for Present.

Washington, May 13.-An important
contribution to the discussion of the
Philippine government bill was made
In the senate yesterday by Foraker.
He maintained that the United States
could not leave the islands until or
der had been restored and until q
stable government had been estab-
ushed. He declared that this govern
nent would not come away from the
islands under the present or the next
administration, even though the latter
be Democratic, because the American
people never would consent to pol
troonery. Foraker read some editorials
from the Denver News. of which SEN
ator Patterson Is the proprietor. The
editorials maintained that the United
States must retain control of the Phil.
ippines and put down the insurrection
among the Filipinos. With keen sar.
casm the Ohio senator declared that
the editorials did not read as did Pat
terson's speeches read now. Foraker
held that the policy adopted IN the
Philippines was one of the kindest and
Gentlest possible and in accord with
the instructions of President McKin-
ley. He declared that the minority
had attacked the army. from the com.
nanding general to the humblest pri-
vate-all because the army had re-
sented outrages without parallel IN
cruelty. committed by the F'ilipinos
Yhe American army. he said. had
shown humanity unsurpassed in his.
tory. The American people always
lad stood by their army and they
always would.
The senate concurred In the house
amendment to the bill making an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the relief
