DELIVERS A SPEECH IN oPPOsI-
TON TO THE PHILIPPINE
BILL.

Washington, May 10.-The opposition
In the house to the bin for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma, Arizona and New
Mexico collapsed at the last minute
yesterday and the bill was passed with
out division as IL came from the com
mittee except TO: a few verbal amend
ments. The real test came on the
amendment offered by Mr.. Overstreet
Of Indiana to join New Mexico and
Arizona and admit them as the state
of Montezuma. IL was beaten, 2S 10 LOG,
and all opposition then ceased. The
closing scenes of the debate were ac-
comranied by a dramatic incident
which narrowly escaped being trag-
edy. Delegate Mark A. Smith of Arr
ECna, who has been fighting for the ad-
mission Of his territory for q dozen
years, had just made a vigorous
speech against the Overstreet amend
ment when he was seized with a rush OF
blood TO the head. He was conveyed 10
the lobby where several physicians
who are members of the house, by the
prompt administration of powerful
heart stimulants saved him from
stroke OF apoplexy. He later rallied and
was removed to his hotel.
The bill as passed provides enabling
acts for Oklahoma, Arizona and New
| Mexico similar I'm form to former en-
ablinG acts. with the exception that the
| constitutional convention of New Mex
| leo is empowered to designate the name
| by which the new state shall enter the
| Union and in the case Of Oklahoma the
convention py irrevocable ordinance
shall express the consent of that state
that congress At any future time may
attach all or any Fart OF Indian Terri
| tory to IT, The enabling acts differ
from each other chiefly in reference 10

In the senate.
An effort was made in the senate 20
! fix time for a vote on the pending
Philippine bill, but il was unsuccessful.
| Yesterdays debate on the Philippine
bill was mild. Mr.. Teller of Colorado
occupied consid arable time in opposi-
| ton to the measure. He contended
PRINCIPAL that the Filipinos were ca
pable Of self government and of estab-
fishing a government quite equal TO
| some European governments.
Some debate occur ed over the reso-
luton to discharge the committee on
privileges and elections from further
consideration Of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
election OF senators by the people.
| Finally the resolution was withdrawn,
assurance being givevn that report
from the committee soon would be
made.

syIvanite Has New Owners.

Tie New Sylvanite Mining company
has been recently incorporated to oper-
the Sylvanite group Of properties at
Gothic in the northern part of this coun-
ty The officers are: J. r. Hanna, pres
ident; j. r. Ebersole. vice president; J.
F. Searles, secretary; W. q. Wolf. treas
urer; who with Jas. Carson, G. o. Meis-
ner and R. j. Grier, compose the direct
crate. These parties are principally
business men of Monmouth, Ill. The
Sylvanite mine is one of the noted mines
of the county, having been heavy pro
ducer in its day. There are at least s.
600 feet of workings on the property and
fully s1,00O,000 worth of ore has been
extracted. The character OF the miner
al is high grade silver product, the
shipping ore netting on an average $500
per ton. The last car Of ten tons which
was shipped last year netted $500.
The ore contains native silver in nuggets
and wire. There are three levels run in
to the mountain at various depths. The
upper level is in 200 feet and ore has
been stopped to the surface. The second
| level is in 700 feet and in the same ore
chute. The third or lower level is in l.
622 feet and is on the same vein. Here
| is where the most of the native metal is
found. An upraise of 500 feet has been
made which gives the company 800 feet
of stoping ground. The vein averages
about four feet and carries a large per
cent of rich ore. The heaviest produc-
| ton of the mine has been from the sec
ond level. The mine shows the great
rich vein still going down in the lower
level. Drifts have been run into the
chute and considerable ore is showing

ascertain hoe many Indians there
were entitled TO a portion OF the $751;

recent council had with the Indians,
which they figured would cover the
value Of improvements made by many
of them on their lands in that country,

they were moved to White Earth.
This was one of the most serious OBJ
jections that the Indians set forth
when they were ordered to move, and
1t was only necessary for the proper
authorities to agree to give them the
amount. The agent found that there
are Clio Indians entitled to a portion
of the amount, and it will be dNs-
