Washington, February 22.-Some Of the republican leaders of the senate who are opposed to the omnibus state hood bill held an extended conference today and perfected a compromise measure, the provisions O. which have already been published. Among those in conference were Messrs. Allison, Aldrich, Cullom, Hanna. Spooner, Lodge and Platt (Coanecticut)
 It is stated on excellent authority that Mir. Quay is anxious that a com premise bill be adopted and he is urg- ing the democrats to accept it. The latter, however, are holding cut more stiffly today than ever for the omnibus measure. It was decided at the con ference today to submit the compro- mise bill t0 the statehood republicans and democrats at the earliest possible moment and endeavor to secure their consent to it.
 Scnator Mason of Illinois said to- night that he was authorized to make the statement that Senator Quay would consent to no compromise which was not entirely satisfactory to his democratic allies; that he was deter mined that a statehood bill should pass; he would favor the compromise for the admission Of two states but he is aware that even that bill could not be passed without the consent of the democrats. Ills is desirous of pro noting harmony on the republican side of the senate but he is more desirous Of the passage of the statehood measure Therefore, added Senator Mason, the situation is quite in the hands of tl.a derccratic senator's

 The senate will he bereft of Mir Ma son on March i, and the senator is packing uD. Three days ago the Wau- kegan postoffice was notified that three tons of mail for Mason would arrive shortly and Postmaster Murray made tue necessary arrangements for the de livery of the pouches but the post master threw UD his hands in dismay when he was informed that T. tons more were al the depot ready to be unloaded. The senator denies that he is sending home household goods by mail.

period of the statehood bills career Some of the anti-statehood senators contend that it can be beaten as rider and they advocate an invitation to this test of strength.
 Tomorrow the senate will proceed with the consideration of the canal treaty in executive session. If in the meantime q compromise on the state hood bill be effected it is believed that the ratification of the treaty will be se cured within day or two. But whether there is an adjustment of the state hood bill or not, or whether the treaty is ratified or not, it is not intended that many more days will be allowed to elapse before taking up the appropria- ton bills.
 In order to conclude the work on the appropriation bills and to transact other necessary business before the day for final adjournment, March 1, the senate will find it necessary, regardless of the statehood bill and the canal t. eaty, to hold longer sessions than or dinarily, and it is probable that during the greater part of the time henceforth the daily sittings will begin at 10 CT II o'clock, and many of them will run into the night.

IF A RIDER SHOULD COME IN.

IF A RIDER SHOULD COME IN.
 Washington, February 22.-The house enters the last full week of the session with the decks practically cleared of everything except appropriation bills. Only one of these, the general deficien- cy bill, remains to be passed. Several interesting contests are expected dur ing the consideration of questions of adjusting differences between the two houses on a number of bills in confer ence.
 Especially spirited will be the fight over the proposition to accept the statehood amendment if one should come to the house as d rider on an ap- propria ton bill. It would command the solid support of the democratic side, and it is believed that enough republi- cans would accept it, although it would be strongly resisted by republican lead CTS.
 The Philippine currency bill nas oeen set for Tuesday. The Fowler currency bill will continue to be the stop-gap whenever other matters are not press ing. but there seems to be no prospect of it's passage.

DELUGE OF SOLUTIONS
IN TINES WORD CONTEST
Came at Rate of One a Minute-Due
Notice to Be Given of Announce

The Times word contest closed Satur-
day evening with a regular pyrotechnic
display of answers. From early in the
morning until the contest closed at II
p. m, there was a steady stream of con-
testants filing their solutions. They
came so fast and thick that those in
charge OF the contest, had 10 abandon
entering the returns on the books and
give their whole attention to taking in
the solutions Some idea of how rapidly
the answers were received may be gain
ed from the fact that they averaged one
a minute all day Saturday. At timee
there would be a line of ten or twelve
people waiting to file their solutions.
The work of entering the returns,
which had to be abandoned Saturday.
was resumed this morning. and as rap
idly as possible the solutions VIII be put
in proper form for examination Owing
10 the tremendous influx Of solutions the
last few days, and the sharpness Of the
competition, it win probably take some
days TO determine who are entitled TO

possible, and due notice viii be given

Legacy With States and Terri
tories of the Union.

The eligibility of the District OF Co

before January !. A reply to the in
qUiry of Commissioner Macfarland
whether the District may be construed
d Territory is looked for at any moment
from the trustees OF the Will
The last testament of the famous
millionaire provided for scholarships at
Oxford for students from the various
States and Territories of the United
States. No mention was made of the
District OF Columbia, and the question
naturally arose whether residents of the
National Capital were entitled to share
in the benefaction.
The question was partially solved
some time ago, when the local educa-
tional authorities were Included in a re-
quest from the trustees of the will to
the chief officials in control of education
in this country that a method be sug-
gested to award the scholarships. The
request was submitted to the Board OF
Education. and the members of this
body recommended that an American
commission be appointed to formulate
the regulations.
1t is not known whether this sugges-
ton was carried out, but the fact re-
mains that a commission, composed Of
one representative from each State. has
already been named. AS no one was APP
pointed from the District, the local au-
thorities were at first inclined to feel
that no scholarship would be awarded.
1t is expected by Commissioner Mac
farland, however. that the District will
be awarded the same number of schol-
arships allowed in each of the States
and Territories.

BISHOP FOWLER FILLS
FOUNDRY CHURCH PULPIT
Exaltation Of Jesus the Theme of
Methodist Church Leader.

The exaltation of Jesus was the sub
ject of sermon by Bishop Charles
II. Fowler. who preached at the Foun-
dry NJ r. Church Sunday morning.
The text was from Philippians ii:9:
Wherefore God also hath highly ex-
allied Him and given Him name
which is above every name"
Bishop Fowler pointed out that man
exalted that which was great and pow
erful. but God exalted Jesus who had
taken on the guise of the servant. who
had exchanged the unspeakable glory
of the court of heaven for the gloom
of heather world
The world was put in order for the
coming of its Savior said the speaker.
Age after age, by patriarch and
prophet. God was working to prepare
the world for the coming OF his Son.
The world was prepared by its think
ing In vain philosophy and poetry
tried TO find some chance TO come to
God. Rome with its bald and bold
seepucism was laughing at God. But
even great Plato cried, as he died, that
he had lived i'm ignorance. lived in
uncertainty, and died in trepidation.
The world was prepared, too. for its
lighting. How do you account for the
little handful under Alexander con-
quering until he said that the very
stars fought for him. if not that God
was ruling?"
God exalted Jesus. the speaker held
by heralding his forthcoming. Jesus
was exalted by his society. who ''hOv-
cred around Him on the plains of Abra-
ham until the whole sky was radiant
with their faces" He was Furthermore
exalted by the great work entrusted to
Him.

the Importance of Neatness
In Dress.

It takes considerably more time and
trouble to send a girl out from home
looking neat and attractive than it
does to make a boy look as wen. A
boy has the advantage in the compare
tive simplicity Of his clothing and per-
sonal appointments. His hair by a
few strokes Of the brush can be made
p-resentable in a moment, while a girls
must be combed free Of snarls,
brushed, braided, curled or done up"
becomingIy, all of which takes time
if it is done properly, says the Amer
lean Queen.
Then a little fault in a girls toilette
is more apparent and glaring than in q
boys. His colors are somber and he
has no rufles or furbelows, and if a
button is of his coat or be has a hole
in his coat sleeve very few persons
notice it. But if a girls ruf1e is ripped
of, her plaeket gaps, her plume out Of
curl, it is detected afar off and prob
ably commented upon,
So it behooves a GIRL while she is stin
a child, to learn the Importance OF
neatness. It is a little trouble, to be
sure, but a girl who is not clean and
neatly dressed Is a sloyen and 50 one
likes to look at her. Her face may be
pretty and her eyes bright, but If her
clothing is in any way untidy, her hair
touzly, her teeth unsightly and her
inger-nails tipped with jet, She viii
assuredly find herself passed by, both
socially and industriaily, in favor oil

Take the trouble to be neat at an
times and you have learned one Of the
most important secrets Of success in
Life.
