THE STATEHOOD COMPROMISE.
Expected TO Unlock the Present Tangle in ire
Senate.
(By the Associated PressD

Washington, Feb. 21.-The Statehood
compromise which is expected to unlock
the present tang1e in the Senate and re-
move the blockade proposes to admit two
States, one to be Oklahoma according to
it's present boundaries, with a proviso
that Indian Territory shall be added to
Oklahoma in 1906 when the treaty obliga-
tons with the Indians will not be in the
way. The other State is to be composed
of New Mexico and Arizona under the
name of Montezuma, with proViso that
when the present territory of Arizona
has a population of 800, 900 people it shall
become a separate State, providing that
the people of the territory affected vote
in favor of being divided from Monte
yuma or New Mexico.
The Republican leaders conferred all
day upon the subject of the Statehood
compromise and most of the Democrats
were informed of the general term of the
proposition. To all questions DIS to
whether they would accept such COM
promise they said that they wanted to
see a definite proposition and know from
whom it came, then they would be in a
position to confer and decide. On the
Republican side it is found that two Re-
publican Senator'S, Beveridge and Nell
son, both members of the Committee on
Territories are very 10th to accept any
compromise save that which the majority
or originally presented. Their position
is that the omnibus Bill is defeated and
that Senator Quay who has been so per-
sistently pressing it has lost strength
by his course in supporting Senator Nor
gan during the latter's fight against the
canal treaty.
The Democratic position on the pro-
posed compromise is an interesting fea-
ture of the situation, for it is generally
understood that unless there is practical
ly unanimous agreement it could not pass.
Another feature of the Democratic posi-
ton developed today was that many
Democrats are Indifferent as to an extra
legislative session of Congress, while
some think it would not be bad party
politics to have such a session and have
the subject of trust legislation and re-
vision of the tariff discussed. This idea
was communicated to some of the Re
publican leaders today and caused con-
siderable uneasiness. 1t is realized that
with the business now pending in the
Senate a very few men could force
enough appropriation bills over to cause
an extra session of the Fifty-eighth
Congress. At the same time the most
experienced Senators claim that before
the coming week has passed the blockade
will be raised in some manner End all
necessary legislation disposed of by the
4th of March.

DENVER BUSINESS MEN ARE
TRYING FOR ARBITRATION

Denver, May 19-The Republican
this morning sums up the strike situa-
ton as follows:
This morning committees from the
printing trades and business interests
Will endeavor to secure a settlement OF
the labor strike through arbitration.
AT meeting yesterday afternoon,
attended by fifty people, it was decided
to use every effort to get the labor lead
ers and the leaders on the employers
side to accept arbitration, and a COM
mittee was named to wait on these.
This committee did not succeed in get
ting the two elements together. but the
preliminaries were gone about and
there is hope. What is desired is to
have the executive committee of the
labor unions agree to arbitration with
board chosen from that committee
or the unions it represents and from
the Citizens Alliance or whoever that
body may designate. All other efforts
at arbitration have failed. The State
Board of Arbitration can do nothing
unless the two sides agree and an
agreement for it to serve is believed to
be out of the question.
"A large amount of business was
transacted in the city yesterday with
out the semblance of trouble. Ordinary
affairs were being conducted as if no
strike were in force, and although the
labor leaders claimed that 1000 persons
were ordered on strike, the indications

Denver. May 19.-Coliseum hall was
well filled yesterday with the delegates
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men. The meeting was called at 8
o'clock by Grand Master p. II. Nor
rissey, and the representatives from
most of the important cities of the
United States and the Dominion of
Canada sat down to transact the rou-
tine business of the opening session.
In regard to the statement that the
B. r. T. had been asked by the eXecu-
tive committee of the strike not to hold
the convention here, Mr.. Morrissey
himself stated that the men had re-
ceived no such request.
Remarkably good feeling character
lied the opening of the sixth biennial
convention of the brotherhood. OF the
900 delegates expected nearly 800 had
arrived. They came with their wives
and their friends, and during the even
ing the gold and white badge of the
convention was seen in all parts of
the city.
Coliseum hall was filled long before
the opening hour yesterday morning.

were that a number of these had not
obeyed and that the places OF still
greater number had been filled by the
employers.
AT a meeting of the Citizens Al
lance last night it was stated by the
officials that the backbone of the strike
had been broken, thus early. deducted
from the number of businesses that
had resumed with large staffs. which
were idle or all but idle a week ago.
THE building trades are slack on
account of lack of full forces i'll all de-
partments. but the contract between
the Master Builders Association and
the Building Trades Council will be
kept.
AT the request of the local Typo
graphical Union, a meeting was held
in the afternoon to endeavor to end the
strike by what the union believes to be
the only proper course to pursue IN
such difficulty-arbitrati The meet
ing was hurriedly called, but good
many business men attended, together
with the committee of the Typograph-
ical Union, master printers and news
paper managers
The confidence of the Citizens Al
lance, as expressed at their meeting, is
no more pronounced than that of the
labor committees, and unless conces-
sions are made on both sides there Is
likely to be long and disastrous strike
that will cost the city dearly.

COL LORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Land Office Collections.


Bondsmen who are sureties for per
sons who have bought or leased state
lands and are delinquent, may find
themselves defendants in suits brought
by the state for collection of long over
due sums. If principals or bondsmen
are not good the land board will re-
claim thousands of acres.
A compilation OF the delinquent list
has not yet been completed in the state
land office. Those who have worked
on the books have found, however, that
the total due the state on account OF
bad bookkeeping and carelessnesS IN
enforcing collections during the last
ten years amounts to more than $lOo,-
600. Some of this has been collected.
Some peculiar conditions have been
uncovered in examining the inadequate
records. These show that in large
number of cases leases or sales were
made, but only one installment was
paid. All of this time the land had
remained idle because it appeared as
occupied and the state has lost thou
sands of dollars that can never be re-
covered.
In some of these cases the land
board will be able to recover. Bonds
men who have not left the state and
are property holders can be sued If the
principals are not able to make good
the delinquencies. When the big task
of making list of the delinGuents is
completed the board will probably be-
gin suits in all cases in which there is
a chance to recover
For many Of the delnquents bare
notice to come in and settle has been
sufficient. Register Woodruff expresses
himself as very well satisfied with the
progress so far. He believes that near
ly the entire amount of the Delinquent
cies will be collected. excepting, of
course, such claims as are held against
spectators and their bondsmen who
cannot be found.
The register says that the collections
from delinquents show a gratifying in
crease. He has heard from many who
have announced themselves ready to
make an arrangement for final settle
ment
In collecting the accounts long over
due the board is trying to avoid work
ing hardship on any who are inclined
to be fair. Some of those owning large
sums say that they have not paid up
because the crops were poor for several
years. These are given a further
chance if they eyirce desire to settle.
Holders of state lands who do not re-
spond to the request of the board will
find themselves deprived of the prop
erty they have bought on installments
or leased. The board is determined to
clear the records and to obtain possess
sion of every foot of land to which it
is entitled. This will bring into the
possession of the state many sections
that have been practically abandoned
for long time and it will also have
the effect of ousting tenants who do
not pay their rent.
