STATEHOOD FIGHT BEGINS.
coNsTDERARLE OPPOSITION TO ADMIS-
SION OF NEw-MEXICO AND ARIZONA

WASHINGTON Dec 1.-The contest over the
Omnibus Statehood bill began Immediately after
the meeting of Congress. AS soon as the senate
adjourned there was conference in Senator
Hale's committee room, attended by Senators
Allison, Aldrich, Hale Platt, of Connecticut Cul-
Iorn, Lodge, Hanna and Beveridge, the latter the
chairman of the Committee Territories. They
represented the Republicans who are opposed to
the Omnibus bill admitting Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona, and. it is understood, favor
bill admitting Oklahoma only
The principal part of the discussion was oh
the forthcoming report Of the committee On
Territories Senator Beveridge briefly outlined
the main features Of the prospective report from
which it was gathered that the majority would
be strongly adverse to the admission OF eltheF
Arizona or New-Mexico. The Senators at the
conference expressed the opinion that if the
conditions were as shown by the testimony
features of which were given by Senator Bev-
eridge, then it would be unwise to admit either
New Mexico Arizona. The admission OF
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory found con-
siderable favor though no conclusion was
reached.
Later in the afternoon there was another con-
ference in Senator Beveridges committee rooni'
attended by the Republican members OF the
committee supposed to be opposed to the Omnl-
bus bill Other Senators also called and dis
c1ssed the question Owing to the fact tnat
the committee is working under an order to
make a report on Wednesday, the Repuollcans
are trying hard to get the report ready
The Republicans who are making the fight Tor
the Omnibus bill are under the leadership OF
Senator's Quay and Elkns. They say that NJ
teen Republicans are pledged to that bill, which,
with Democratic votes, would give the OMNIBUS
bill a clear majority. Republicans opposed TO
the tri-Statehood bill think that certain favor.
able remarks have been taken for pledges, ano
that when the vote is taken a majority cannot
be mustered to admit three new States at TINS
session 1t is probable that a Republican caucus
on the subject will be held.

REFUTE STORIES OF DESTRUCTION.
MALA SAY COFFEE CROP WILL EXCEED
LAST YEARS

Advices just received by a commercial house OF
this city from Guatemala show that the reports
of loss of life and destruction of property there
have been greatly magnified. It was said that
President Barillas had died during the excitement
and that the loss of human life into the thou
sands Senor Baras is alive and well. and not
more than half a dozen Indians, who happened
to be quite close to the volcano. were killed 1t
was reported that hundred thousand mules were
DESTROYED in a district which never contained
more than one-tenth OF that number, and so far
as is known no animals suffered.
Instead of trade being disorganized. railways de-
stroyed and the entire population in state of
panc traffic has not been interrupted for a mo-
ment and except In a small limited area the en-
tire community native and Indian. has shown no
alarm. Guatemala. the advices say, was never so
prosperous, its future SO bright as now COM
naerciaI activity is marked in every section; pro-
visions are abundant and cheap, the corn and bean
crops which furnish the labortng classes with
food having been exceptionally good the demand
for labor is good, and who is Wiling TO

for the vatican. There will probably be
no difficulty in reaching a satisfactory
arrangement for the purchase and trans
fer Of the lands Of the friars, but the
question of getting them out Of the
country is a much more serious one.
The vatican authorities are not dis
posed to assume the somewhat grave
responsibility of attempting to compel
the friars to leave the Philippines and
appear to be seeking some compromise
plan that will save them from the APP
pearance Of voluntarily ordering the de
parture Of the friars. Should there be
failure to reach such a plan u govern
ment will be called upon to consider
whether it shall expel these churchmen
from the archipelago and 1t is easy to
see that this would be a rather embar-
RAISING question. To deport hundreds
Of these people, on the ground that their
presence in the country is Objectionable
to the natives, would be a proceeding
which 1t is doubtful If the government
would adopt, even If 1t can do so under
the law Just enacted. Manifestly there
lis presented in the case of the friars an
altogether unique situation and one that
may prove very embarrassing to the
government.

A Tobacco Generation.
New York Tribune.

Never since Sir Walter Raleigh enjoyed
his first pipe has the warfare Of anti-to-
bacco crusaders been less effective than It
is now, To the man about town the prob
lem Of the continued existence Of so many
cigar shops becomes more perplexing every
year. In almost every hotel, large or small;
in almost every barroom and drugstore, CT
gars are sold. Nevertheless, in the cities
and towns and villages. from Alaska to Pat
agonia. in every zone and every cline, every
shop in which nothing but tobacco IN one
form or another is sold, seems to exc out
an existence. How can such hosts OF shops
get a SUFFICIENT number Of patrons to keep
them going? In this city amazing rentals
for quarters on frequented corners are paid
by the dealers who cater to the tastes OF
the devotees Of tobacco. The ranks OF the
chewers and the takers OF snuf have been
extensively reduced in this generation, but
the innumerable host OF men and boys who
seek solace in cigars. cigarettes and pipes,
and spend a great deal Of money in the
worship of the nicotine goddess every year,
grows even more rapidly than the percent
age Of advance in population. Above all
other tobacco-smoking eras Of the past, this
Is sending clouds OF smoke into the air.

EXPORTS TO SOUTH AFRIoA,

Already exports from the United
States to South Africa are increasing in
a marked ratio, A New York paper
states that three allied transportation
lines, which have been doing all the bus
mess, are advertising six sailings a
month and are dispatching large steam
ers with full cargoes, the trade being
SO good that two other companies have
established a joint service, clearing a
steamer every two weeks. This new
concern got out one steamer with be-
tween 1900 and 1000 tons Of merchan-
disc just two weeks after peace was
agreed on. The demand from South
Africa is mainly for lumber and all
building materials, and agricultural i'm
plements. More freight is going at pres
ent to Natal and Algoa bay than to
Capetown, the business methods of the
Dutch residents of the latter being slow
and primitive, while Durham, in Natal,
is full of energy and modern methods
and consequently is growing rapidly.
There is every reason to expect that a
large trade will be built up between this
country and South Africa within the
next few years and it will not be con-
fined to the products nov in demand.
South Africa will want a great deal of
American machinery, a large amount of
our cotton goods, provisions and other
things and there is every reason to ex-
pect that the demand for these will
grow from year to year. There are $780,
100000 people in Africa and there will
be sharp competition for the trade, par
ticularly on the part Of England and
Germany, but the United States is in
position to secure a liberal share of it
and our merchants and manufacturers
will not fail to take advantage OF their
opportunity.
