SEED DISTRIBUTION.
Uncle Sam Begins Giving Away Forty-xivs
Million Packages Of Garden and
Eleld Seeds.


Washington, Nov. a-The largest
congressional seed distribution ever
made by Uncle Sam was begun yester-
day. Within the coming three or four
months over 1000 tons Of garden and
field seeds will DO distributed among
the people Of every state and territory
in the union, at q cost Of $4,000. the
amount appropriated by the Last con-
gress for this purpose. The total dis
tribution this year will amount to
about 100000 packages. With q
view to handling the seed to better ad-
vantage the country has been divided
into six districts, and seeds and plants
particularly adapted to each district
will be distributed therein at an earlier
time than heretofore. In years past
much complaint has been made by the
people Of receiving seed too late In the
season to be Of particular good.
There will be, as usual, o distribution
Of miscellaneous vegetable seeds, put
up with five packets to the package,
and each senator. representative and
delegate In congress will have 1850
packages to his credit. The number
Of flower seeds allotted to each con-
gresham has been increased to 500
packages, and arrangements have been
made whereby representatives having
city constituents may exchange vege-
table seeds for flower seeds. II they 80
desire. A special collection Of flower
seeds will be prepared for those having
strictly city constituents, the varieties
chosen being suitable for window
boxes, lots and small dooryards.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Dird 8. Nc
CURE, the Oklahoma delegate, viii dnd
an entirely new statehood situation
confronting him when he begins his
campaign this fall in behalf Of Okla
homa- New Mexico and Arizona. which
worked together during the last ses-
sion Of congress, are at outs. New
Mexico has practically concluded that
1t will stand better chance for state
hood by agreeing to the absorption OF
Arizona. The citizens Of Arizona are
indignant. Better wait for years than
consent to such proposition, declare
q majority Of the statehood advocates
from Arizona. This probably will
mean q division among the democrats.
and when there is added to that COM
plication the uncertain effect Of an
active support of statehood by William
RanAolph Hearst and his picturesque
presidential boom, the situation be-
comes at once sufficiently complicated
to tax the understanding Of an old con-
gresham, much less brand new dele
gate like Mr.. Mcguire.
B. 8. Rodey, the delegate from New
Mexico, arrived in Washington yes
terday, and the first announcement he
made was that another statehood bill
would be introduced for his territory.
Mr.. Rodey would like to have New
Mexico separately admitted, but would
gladly accept the annexation Of Arizona
II he could get his bill through in no
other way. Arizona, like Oklahoma,
will be represented by q new delegate.
Mark Smith, who has served Arizona
for several years as delegate, has been
succeeded by John 8. Wilson. Smith
had served for I'VE congressional terms
and was very popular, especially
among the democrats. It was largely
his influence that caused the demo-
Gratis to array themselves solidly in
the house behind the omnibus state
hood bill He viii be missed In the
fight and II the disposition is shown to
combine New Mexico and Arizona into
one republican state, the attitude Of
the democratswill be doubtful Speak
err Cannon win be more friendly to
statehood than was Speaker Hender-
son. Mr.. Cannon opposed the omnibus
bill at the last session. The coming
session will be bitterly partisan and
the lines win be more closely drawn
than they were last winter. Some
thing vii have to be done for the In
iian territory and this contest probably
win add TO the other complications.
