Washington. February 23.-Au day there has been talk of a compromise on the statehood bill. It was generally understood that what was known as the Spooner compromise. being the tvo-state bill drawn by the Wisconsin senator. would be satisfactory to the republicans. The terms of this con- save that the provision for the state of Montezuma provides that before Ari- Zona can be set off as a separate state the population of Montezuma must be 7GOGo0. of which 3OO.0O0 should be in Arizona.
 The democrats. while willing to act in q concili&tory spirit said that they had little hope that the republican proposition would be acceptable to them. It is quite likely that when this proposition is submitted the democrats will have q conference. Probably a counter proposition will be made pro- Viding that when Arizona has a popu- lation which is the average for d repre- sentative in congress it shall be ad- 1nitted as state. and also that q cen Sus shall be taken every year.
 The democrats say they want q pro- vision fixing the date which vii. bring Arizona into the union. This would not be satisfactory to- the republicans While efforts toward a compromise continue, there are only few senators who expect an adjdstmen- to be reach ed and the prospects of statehood leg islation are still remote.
 There was an earnest conference il the senate chamber after adjournment participated in by Senators AIdrich, Quay, Hanna, Foraker, McComac. Beveridge and Kean, when it was definitely decided that a proposition for d compromise on two states should be submitted to the democrats.
 Senator Quay presented Q Tnemoran- dunn of the important features of the compromise to Senator Bate who will present it to a conference of democrats called for 10 o'clock tomorrow. It is expected that the republican proposi- tion will be rejected and a counter one made. Democratic leaders say they cannot accept the compromise suggest ed, and republicans say no further con sessions will be made
 A large crowd was attracted to the senate today, most of them being visit ing Daughters of the American Revolu- tion- Washington's farewell address was read by MT. Dubois of Idaho. The omnibus public building bill passed ana the postoffice appropriation bill was considered without final action

MAINE GOES TO COLON.
The Big BattIeship Ordered to 18TH
mian Waters.

Washington. Nov. THE battleship
Maine has been ordered to Colon. She
has sailed from Martha's Vineyard,
where she has been engaged in target
practice, for Hampton Roads. where
she will coal and proceed to her desti-
nation.
1t was stated at the Navy Depart
ment that the sudden dispatch Of the
Maine to Colon is not because there
is any particular necessity for the pres
ence there of the big battleship. The
navy, it is stated, is deficient in squad
ron movements and the Navigation
Bureau desires to remedy this de-
ficiency wherever practicable. The
Maine, it is further said, has been at
the navy yards during a good part of
the past year. and the cruise to the
isthmus will be beneficial to discipline.
If the trouble at the isthmus is over
before the Maine arrives there she may
be diverted to Culebra, where Admiral
Bankers North Atlantic squadron will
be engaged in practice about Christ
mas time.
Admiral Coghlan, who sails from
Washington tomorrow morning with
Consul General Gudger for Colon, has
decided to retain the Mayflower as his
flagship while at Colon until the ar
rival of his permanent flagship, the
Olympia, which should follow him from
Norfolk in about one month.
