New nexlco's Vain Hope

Secretary Hitchcock returned to Washington a few days ago, after a trip of several days through Oklahoma and the Indian territory. He an- nounced his determination to recom- mend in his annual report the imme- diate admission of Oklahoma into the union. There is no longer the slight
 est doubt in my mind" he said, that Oklahoma has all of the qualified tions necessary to become a state. My visit to the territory convinced me of that The secretary also stated his opposition to the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian territory as one state. As to

trary to the understood attitude of the senate. and there seems to be no doubt that the president himself favors the admission of the two territories as one state. And on Q question of such inn portance. the steering committee and the president are likely to control.
 About the same time that Mir. Hitch cocks interview was given out. the Washington correspondents quoted Delegate Rodey of New Mexico as say ing that the statehood fight on behalf of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma would be renewed at the beginning of the next session. Mir. Rodey. added that very possibly the outcome would be the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state. There is no reason to doubt that Delegate ROdey and most of the people in New Mexico would welcome the proposed union of that territory with Arizona.
 Indeed, notwlthstan nding Secretary Hitchcock's advocacy of statehood for Oklahoma apart from the Indian terri tory, there IS ample ground for be- living that the programme of the sen ate leaders covers the creation of two states made up of the four territories the admission of Oklahoma-Indian ter ritory certainly. and the admission of New Mexico Arizona provided there is
 
 rangement.
 But for the benefit of Delegate Rodey and all other friends in New Mexico. we take occasion here to say that a friendly understanding between Ari- zona and New Mexico will be promoted by the abandonment forthwith of all thought of consolidating the two terri tories. AriZonia.ns earnestly desire statehood. but they are not daft on the subject, and they are prepared to endure territorial conditions indefinite ly rather than accept union with New Mexico. In short. the people of Ari- zona will fight resolutely and to the end. any project that looks to the ad- mission of these two territories as one state-unless the enabling act provides unqualifiedly for separation and the creation of the srate of Arizona with in a very short and clearly stated period. And even then joint admission would not be generally approved.
 We trust that this candid statement of Arizona feeling will be accepted in New Mexico in the spirit in which it is made. Our objections to admission as a part of our sister territory imply no opinions discreditable to New Mexico. The geographical objections alone need to be considered.
 We have no fear that President Roosevelt will approve a statehood bill which contains provisions so objection able to Arizona. The fairness of the president and the objections of Ari- zona constitute two insuperable ob- stacles to the consolidation of the awo territories. and it is to be hoped that the obvious facts will not be overlooked by the leaders of thought in New Mexico.
 And New Mexico will wait in vain for any different expression from Ari- zona.

A BRAVE MAN
DIED AT SEA

When Samuel McAllister, fireman
second-class U. S. N, passed away on
this ship at 11:15 Sunday night, the
18th inst, life of long service to our
country and flag was closed.
McAllister had been suffering some
time from heart trouble and had been
undergoing treatment for that ailment
at the Naval Hospital in Yokohama,
but was returned for duty shortly be-
fore we sailed for Honolulu.
His enlistment was to have expired
tomorrow. He went to his post in
the fire room without complaint but
his condition was such that his
strength soon failed and he was oblig-
ed to give up. He was about the
decks Sunday until late in the even
ing when he was attacked by heart
failure and carried to the sick hay
where he died shortly afterwards.
The body was prepared for the deep
and the impressive burial took place
the following day.
All hands mustered on the quarter
deck; the colors We're hoisted to the
gaff and the squadron "hove to-"
Colors We're lowered to half mast and
Ravenswood's Funeral March hushed
every sound about the ship. Lieut.
enant- Commander Henry 4. Mayo read
the service for the burial of the dead
at sea, interrupted by Nearer My
God to Thee" played by the band.
Tears gathered in many eyes as the
heavily weighted body was consigned
to the deep Three volleys We're fired
by squad of marines and the bugler
sounded taps as the body which had
served the country well, was sinking
in its watery grave.
McAllister's early service was done
in the army and at his death he was
at the close of his second cruise in the
navy. Although he had not yet receiv-
ed 1t, he was awarded medal of hon
or and gratuity of $4,000 by the
Department on March 90, 1902, for
bravery at Tien Tsin, China, June 20,
1900. He was serving on the Mono
cacy at the time; on the opposite side
of the river lodged behind shacks and
salt racks We're several Chinese sharp
shooters who were doing considerable
damage to both Americans and Eng
lish; although repeatedly driven away,
they returned under the concealment
OF the shacks. McAllister volunteered
with corporal and two privates to
face their fire and burn their shelter,
which deed was accomplished at the
most hazardous risk, and for which
he was awarded the honor and re-
Enumeration which has been too long
delayed.
McAllister was "a years OF age. He

THANKS To-
ROOSEVELT
SamOans Want the
President to
Aid Them.

Assistant Secretary Darling of the
Navy Department has submitted to the
President a report received from Com
mander Underwood, commandment of the
naval station at Tutuila, Samoa, trans
hitting a petition addressed to the
President of the United States by Tui-
manua, district governor of Manua, ex-
tending thanks for everything done by
the United States government for the
, people of Samoa.
I'm past years." says the native gov
ernor, Samoa dwelt in the darkness.
and bloodshed arose; but now the sun
comes forth; all people dwell in friend
ship and observe the beneficence Of the
government of the United States in the
laws and all orders, which have Great
ed peace and blessings among all men
| there is protection when we dwell un-
der the flag of the government of the
United States of America.
Many evil customs have grown in
Samoa since heather times, with ignor-
ance in years gone by, because there
was no instruction in civilized ways
and wise methods, such as practiced
under your authority and the govern.
ment of the United States of America
in that there is not another great power
which can protect with such honor.
I'VE desire to represent to you oul
request. Let it be the pleasure of YOU
excellency and the government of Sa'
moa to continue in that way toward
this part of Samoa; instruct the present
generation in wise subjects.
There are now in this portion O.
eastern Samoa, Manua, between 40
and 500 children who are ignorant o.
wise matters. We are endeavoring t.
teach them at the present time, ant
we desire some assistance from you
excellency and the government wher'
we are unable to help ourselves.
I'VE want a teacher to instruct TIL
children; we also require assistance il
completing the roof of the school hous,
and other things necessary for thu
building, and school requisites, accord
ing to wise methods-such as carried
out in other places under the authorit.
and the flag of the government of thu
United States. May you live"
Commander Underwood says he Il
quite in accord with the district gov
ernor in his desire to have teaches
for the instruction of the children, bu
he recommends that action on the le
quest for pecuniary assistance in com
pleting and equipping the school house
estimated at about $3.50, be held IL
allegiance until the district governor has
written assurance that the school is t;
be public and not UNCONVENTIONAL, ant
\ the high chiefs of the islands of tht
Manuan group have signed the deco
conveying the islands to the United
States. Should the conditions be full.
filled, Commander Underwood recon-.
mends that the requisite assistance DC
provided.

mander Underwood ARE the most
tractable and orderly of the Samoans
of our possession, and in my opinion
some small recognition of these quail
tiles would have a good effect. WASH
