MR.. QUAY's PROGRAM
STATEHOOD BILL SOON TO BE Re
PORTED AS A order"
Intends to Make His Last Stand on the
Proposed Amendment to the Agri-
cultural Bill.

Senator Quay in his long fight for the
statehood bill proposes to make MS last
stand on the proposed amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill carrying the
statehood bin as rider. He told his COL
leagues today that the sense OF Congress
could be tested with respect to the state
hood bill in connection with this amend
ment, and that it would then be determined
whether an extra session should be forced,
or not.
Senator Quay expects the agricultural ap-
preparation bill to be reported to the Senate
within a few days, carrying the statehood
rider Senator Quay believes that he has a
sufficient number of votes to Insure the
passage of the bill with the rider attached.
The measure then would go back to the
House, and he said today he believed the
House would concur in the amendment. If
the House should not concur, however, ne
irtims.ted that he would drop the fight.
Opponents of the Bill Determined.
The opponents of the statehood bill have
relaxed none of their determination to de-
feat statehood If possible. Their effort,
it is said, will be to prevent an appro-
priation bill going back to the House with
a statehood rider as there b grave doubt
whether such a rider could be de1eated
The opponents of the bill think they can
Q1SlnteSrate the quay IOTCeS III Lie soeiehlc
If they can prevent the rider either from
being referred to the appropriations COM
mittee or from sticking to an appropriation
bill.
Senator Quay is daily going on record as
endeavoring to reach vote on the Dill.
Last Friday he asked unanimous consent
that vote should be taken February 10.
Saturday he asked consent that February
is should be fixed for a vote, and today he
advanced his request one day further and
asked that a vote be taken February Il.
He will continue to urge the Senate to
name day upon which vote can be taken
and claims that in SO doing he absolVes
himself and his colleagues from the charge
Of being filibusters, and fixes the onus or
obstructionst methods upon the minority
Of the Senate, which refuses to make an
agreement for reaching a vote.
There is no disposition upon the part OF
Senator Quay and his colleagues in the
statehood fight to delay the routine bust
ness Of the Senate. The army appropria-
ton bill was considered today without OBJ
lection from Senator Quay, and the morn
ing hour was full Of routine business. The
several treaties still are on the same track,
but no concern Is felt for them, as In the
last extremity a special session Of the Sen
ate could be called after March to act
upon them.
All indications, therefore. bear out the
statement that Senator Quay expects to
make a straight fight for his bill through
the proposed amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill and to stand or to fall
by the decision of the House and Senate as
demonstrated in the votes on that measure.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

When the House met today Mr.. Cannon
reported the sundry civil appropriation bill
and gave notice that he would call 1t I'D
at the earliest opportunity.
This was suspension day and the Speaker
recognized Mr.. Bates Pa.), who moved the
passage, under suspension of the rules,
OF bill to provide for the better separa-
ton and utilization of public and private
lands within the limits of railroad land
grants in the arid region"
Mr.. Bates explained that the bill was
recommended by the Interior Department
1t permitted the Secretary of the Interior
he said, to exchange arid and semi-a arid
lands within the limits of railroad and
wagon grants for public lands Of equal
value In order to assemble public and pri-
vate lands in more compact bodies so as
to permit them to be advantageously used.
Mr.. Jones CWash) protested vigorously
against the consideration of such an I'M
portant measure under suspension Of the
rules. He declared that the amount of
land involved was from 10000 900 to 10000
op acres. No man could tell exactly how
much land was involved. This was a propo-
sition. he said, to pass with twenty minutes
debate on side a bill affecting one-fifth
of the public domain of the United States
People who had purchased lands from the
idLioduS HOW desired the government at
Its expense to, segregate them from the
railroad lands in order that they could be
used to advantage. If they received the
privilege Of exchange they would select
the best land available -i

Advertising Nuisances.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Public advertising has grown to be an un-
quallhed nuisance. Natures beauties are
defaced by 1t, light and air are shut off by
1t, streets are Uttered, disfgured and OBJ
structed by it, and on the house tops it
constitutes a danger. Most offensive are
the tawdrily painted signs which are strung
across the country from this coast to the
other" setting forth the alleged virtues of
whisky, baby powder, pills, shoes, pants,
breakfast foods, schools-every manner of
thing. These signs are commonly planted
In fields beside the railroad tracks so that
passengers desiring to view the landscape
are compelled to include the offensive
things In the field of vision. It is by no
means unlikely that various of them resolve
tnen and there never to buy one Of the
articles that are forced on attention In
manner so like shaping one in the face.

The Senate committee on judiciary today
agreed to recommend that the nomination

portunity to withdraw the nomination.
