QUAY FACES DEFEAT

His Supporters Are Said to

Washington, Jan. 3l-The commit
tee on organization Of the executive
departments. of which Senator Quay Is
chairman. has ordered a favorable re-
port upon the statehood bill offered by
the senator as an amendment to ap-
preparation bills. The committee was
not formally CALLED together. but SEN
ator Quay saw the members on the
floor Of the senate and secured their
assent to the favorable reporting of
the bill as a rider to the supply bills.
All the members Of the committee who
are in the city gave their assent ex-
cept Senator Beverldge. who. as the
leader of the opposition to the bill. of

hood bill announce that they are will
ing to allow the appropriation bills TO
fail before they will agree to admitting
the three territories, even IL this does
force an extra session. On the other
hand. Senator Quay and his allies say
that if any important legislation is de-
feated and an extra session forced, the
blame will be upon the minority, be-
cause Of its refusal to allow a vote on
the statehood bill
AS the situation stands to-day, Sem
ator Quay and his allies have the whip
hand. but the indications are becoming
more pronounced that the Pennsylvan-
ian is leading a losing fight In order
TO avert an extra session OF congress it
is believed that some of the supporters,

cause. thus placing him in the mi

THINKS AMERICANS Do
TOO MUCH HURRYING
Count Says They AL
ways Hurry Whether Eat
ing, Sleeping or Dying

Philadelphia, Jan. 3l-Full of praise
for all things American. Count Primo
limo. of Rome. Italy, who is stopping
at the Colonnade hoel during a weeks
visit in this city, says the one charac-
teristic Of the American people which
most impresses him is the incessant
hurry of everyone rich ond poor
alike.
Il cannot understand it." he said in
excellent English. "They hurry-hurry
all the time-they eat in hurry, sleep
in a hurry and die in a hurry. 1t is
not so in Europe.
1T takes your railway trains 10
minutes to go where It would take our
trains an hour. Then they make so
much money here. When a man makes
million in Italy he spends the rest
of his life enjoying it. and buys fine
things, builds beautiful houses. But
here it is not So Your financiar makes
a million and then starts in to make
another, and he is in such a hurry,
hurry to do it, 1t is awful"
Count Primolino is a grand nephew
of the great Napoleon and a cousin
of King Victor Emanuel II of Italy.
He is making two years pleasure trip
around the world, which began last
March. He expects to spend six
months altogether in the United
States. His chief amusement. he says,
is in taking photographs, and when he
began to talk to a reporter he had just
returned from walk for photographs.

fAVORS MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Mayor Low, Of New York, Makes
Statement On Subject.

Mayor Low, Of New York, Makes
Statement On Subject.
New York, Jan. 31.-Mayor Low
presented statement to the board OF
estimate yesterday in favor OF munich
pal ownership of a street railway in
one of the five boroughs of the city,
the Bronx. The question of granting
franchise to a company came mp and
after the mayor had been heard it was
awarded, with a provision which
obliges the city TO buy the company's
property at the end of so years.
The mayor said that any provision
in granting a franchise which makes
it possible for the lessee to lose a large
part Of what he may spend to operate
under the franchise tends to the cres-
tion OF a cheap plant at the beginning
and makes it almost impossible to
compel the lessee to keep the equip.
ment up to date.
every franchise said the mayor,
"to produce the best results, must be
given upon terms SO far as to justify
the city in enforcing the very best
service up to the very day that the
franchise expires. ! think, therefore.
that the city in granting a terminal
franchise, should agree to buy at a
fair rate at the expiration of the fran
chise all the plant that is necessary at
that time for its actual operation"
