THE Two-sTATE BILL
The Measure to Which the Democrats
Could Not Agree,

!
Could Not Agree,
New York Sun Special Services.
washington, Feb. 24.-The republican
members of the senate committee on ter
ritories agreed on the compromise state
hood bill, and Senator Beverfdge, chair
man of the committee, was to report it as
q, substitute for the omnibus bill now be-
fore the senate. Senator Nelson is still
opposed to the compromise measure, but
the republican managers hope to get him
into line.
The bill provides for two states, Okla
homa and MOntezuma, to be admitted az
soon as they can adopt constitutions. In
1906 when the existing treaties with the
civilized Indian tribes Of Oklahoma expire,
that territory Is to be added to Oklahoma.
census is to be taken In Montezuma the
same year, and If the state has a popula-
ton of 100000, with 100000 in that part
now known as Arizona, the people shall
decide whether they wish to divide into
two states, and if SO petition congress for
an enabling act for Arizona as a state.
Since the radical statehood democrats
have refused to agree, the bill Is now
likely to be dropped, nothing can be
done toward passing any bill except by
unanimous consent. Senator Aldrich be-
lieves that the appropriation bills will all
pass and the Panama treaty will be rati-
fed. Other republican leaders expect to
see the treaty go over to an extra session
of the senate. Some of the more reck-
less democrats want to tie up appropria-
tion bills and make necessary an extra
session Of congress. The more conserva-
tive democrats opposed to such
move, because it would place the RESPONSE
bility for an extra session on the minority
party.

THAT'S THE MANI
Sensational Scene in a Toledo Law
Court.

Toledo, Feb. 24.--"That's the man who
split my sisters head open. That's the
man who killed my sister. That's the
man, there!''- cried aged johanna Sulli-
van in court to-day when Al Wade was
brought into the courtroom to be tried on
the charge of numbering Kate Sullivan.
The Sullivan murder has been the most
profound mystery that the Toledo police
have had to deal with in years. The
crime was committed two years ago. The
victims were aged spinster sisters. They
were attacked in their home just outside
the city limits and robbed after Kate
Sullivan had been brutally murdered.
Johanna Sullivan escaped and crawled a
mile for assistance, bleeding profusely,
The arrest of Al Wade on. the charge OF
being implicated created a genuine SEN
sation here and the courtroom is too
small by far to accommodate the crowds
which f1ocked to hear the opening Of the
trial to-day. The alleged identification
to-day created no little excitement in
the court.

REX APPEARED AT NOON
The Great Day Of the Carnival at
New Orleans Twenty-Five
Floats.

New Orleans, Feb. 24.-Ideal weather
marked the carnival celebration to-day.
All the avenues traversed by the pageant
were densely packed. There was the
usual number Of promiscuous maskers.
Good order generally prevailed.
Rex appeared before noon riding in a
superb chariot at the head of the pageant.
The subject he chose for illustrati ton was
the fetes and feasts, and the idea was pre-
sented by twenty-five floats. Mythology,
Biblical lore and ancient literature fur
nished faterial for the designs. The cos
tunes were artistic. Tonight Rex will
meet his subjects at an elaborate recep-
ton in the carnival palace, where his
queen will be introduced to the multitude.
The pageant Of Comus and the ball fol-
lowing it at the French opera will con-
clude the festivities.
Miss Roosevelt, Admiral Schley and
General Wheeler witnessed the parade to-
day and were the objects of much atten-
ton. Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root will
rest here tomorrow and on Thursday will
go for a brief stay at Averys Island.

justice will take such action as will have
this result. 1t is believed here that the

An important Decision.
Attorney General Knox finds unusual
significance in the decision rendered yes
terday by the United States supreme court
in the case involving the right of the fed
eral government to control interstate
traffic in lottery tickets. The decision
involves the same questions exactly as
will be brought up by the antitrust legis-
lation and the court covers practically all
the points involved in Mr.. Knox's famous
Pittsburg speech sustaining the conten-
lions made by the attorney general that
congress had power Under the constitution
to deal with trust abuses. This, how
ever, he commended. was amply given in
the clause which confers on the federal
government right to regulate commerce
between the states and with foreign ma :
TONS The court sustains Mr.. Knox in
his contention that the subject matter as
we'll as the instrumentaliies of interstate
commerce may be the objects of restrain
ing federal legislation. This decision, it
is believed, will smooth the way wonder
fully for enforcing the present new legis-
lation against the trusts and for placing
some smore laws on the federal statute
books.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Having failed in

Feb. IS should be paid to Germany thirty
days from that date, Germany requested
Mr.. Bowen to give a draft for the amount

latter request was made on behalf of the
German embassy by Herr Baltazzi, for
merly charge d'affaires at Caracas, but
who has since come to Washington and

Mr.. Bowen was again forced to decline
this request, which he did politely, at
the same time reminding Herr Baltazzi
that he was bound by the terms of the
protocol, which provided that the $500
should be paid at Caracas on the 18th day
of March to the diplomatic representative
of Germany. Just what reason was given
by the German representative for making
the request is not known.

Washington, Feb. 24.-An informal poll
Of the senate, made within the last week.
discloses unsupported antaSonism to the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. 1t has been
supposed for some time that all that was
needed for it's ratification was an oppor-
tunity to vote. But it is said now that
the opponents of reciprocity are willing
to have the roll called, confident that the
treaty will not command the required two
thirds majority. 1t is said, even, that a
vote is desired and will be had in order
to avoid the possibility Of an extra session,
which President Roosevelt has threatened
to call If the treaty fails Of consideration.
If the treaty is duly considered and beaten
the president will not have any excuse
for summoning the senate after March
4. President Roosevelt has felt for a
long time that the treaty had votes enough
to insure it's ratification if the obstructive
measures ceased, and in the present turn
of affairs he may still bring enough SEN
