Washington, February 13.-tSpecial0 The statehood advocates made the most daring step today in the progress O. the fight by forcing the omnibus statehood bill on the postoffice appro- priati0n bill The action was taken at a full meeting Of the committee and the present intention is to make q final stand on this bill. If there is no break i'll the statehood ranks the omnibus bill must either go through with the post office bill or the postofice business of the country must stop.
 It is . desperate game forced by the obstruction tactics of the statehood op- position. The plani has been discussed for q week but the advocates of the measure were uncertain until yesteT- day whether their followers would g to such extreme lengths. Inc demo cratic advocates Of statehood say they will poll the fuu democratic vote of the senate. The friends Of statehood having q majority in tl:e senate post cffice committee will select as their conferees, Mason, chairman: PelrUs2 Of Pennsylvania and Clay of Georgia.
 Each of these senators will support the statehood rider if the postofice ap- propriation bill is sent to the house in this shape and the confe-ces will stay to finish. If their nerve holds good and their followers do net fail there can be no doubt about the result.
 T+ hood bill will have to be passed in this way If it's friends can show that they are willing to go to this extreme length, the opponents Of the bill. rather than see legislation fixed in this way, will agree to vote Oil the omnibus bill If this agreement can be gained the sup- Iorters of the statehood bill will ab2n- don the attempt to pass the oil as rig CTS to the postofice bill
 One senator said u the correspondent for The Republican this afternoon: - do not believe it will ba possible to set the solid support Of the democrats On the proposition to add the statehood bill to the p1stofIice appropria tions. The proceeding is revolutionary and the precedent too dangerous for some of the older senators to submit tc.''
 It is claimed by the statehood opposi- . tion that Jones and Berry If Arkansas, Iiates of Tennessee. CocllreH and Vesi of Missouri and Daniels oi Virginil have maintained positions that cannot be feooiciled with the omnibus bili as pcstofiice appropriation rider.
 Senator Frye will rule on . point ol order that the proposed amendment is not germane and cannot be incorporat- ed in the postofioe bill In case h4 rules that 1t is net germane it will be necessary to appeal from his decision and on this appeal the opponents O. statehood hope to win their victory. The statehood men are relying or the ruling Of President Frye in tn, case of the Spooner amendment anc

ST. LOUIS IHFETCION
 EXTENDS ID CHICAGO
The Raiding of the Turf Investment
 Concerns.

Chicago, February 13.-Three turf in vestment companies offices were rdideG here this afternoon by detectives and d number of attaches were arrested. The head of q fourth concern, warned of the proposed movement. made his escape before the detectives arrived.
 The firms visited by the police were the II. Brolaski company. 35S Dearborn street Benedict &, Co. room 103, No. 225 Dearborn street; the Midcontinent h. vestment company. 185 Dearborn street, and A. J. Demorest x Co.,, on the eighth flCor of the Temple Court build ing. Dearborn and Quincy streets.
 When the detectives reached the De- morest place. the president of the com- pany, A. J. Demcrest. could rot be found. A number of patrons were il front of the locked doors clamoring for payments.
 The raid followed a general police order to close all fraudulent exchanges in Chicago.
 The heads of the Benedict and Bro lasld concerns were booked on aVstate charge of conducting q bookmaker'.; ;; business and on city charges of run ming gambling enterprises. Harry Bro- laslli and Henry Thompson of the Bro- laski company and M. J. Beck, w. J. Mason and Hattie Wcodson, the latter a woman, were released on bonds of $500 in each case, of which S300 was for the state charge and s2OO for the city charge.
 There are numerous other turf con- panies in Chicago and further raids by the police will probably be made to- morrow.
 The circulars seized in the offices raided today reveal, it is said. several new schemes. Letters from men, wo- mon and boys in nearly every town throughout the middle west were found with hundreds of communica tions from Chicago.
 Although no definite estimate of the amount of losses to the investors can be made at present, it i3 said the total vii! run into hundreds of thousands. Just how much money Demorest took away with him when he left his office i today is not known. but the place was | besieged all afternoon by dozens of patrons who said they were heavy in- Vest0rs.

The Monroe doctrine had no enemies in this country. It would be a great gain to civilization if the United States would more actively concern itself with arrangements to prevent constantly recurring difficulties between the Euro pean powers and the South American governments by getting the latter to observe the principles of international courtesy.
 Continuing, he said there was no ground for Lord Rosebery's criticism with respect to British relations with either the United States or Germany. Some arrangement with the latter for joint operation was the most reason- able step possible for enforcing their several claims. Mr. Balfour ridiculed the suggestion that the alliance with Germany over Venezuela vas settled at the time Of Emperor Williams visit to ssandringham.

Some of thi Asserting Men Voted For the Bill at the Same Time Regis tering Prayer For Its Destruct- ion in the Council.

House bill No. S1 passed the house yesterday by d comfortable majority. Some of the members who voted for t did so. they. said afterward. with the understanding that the council, follow ing a time-honored custom, would inn pede it's further progress. It will pe remembered that the house two years ago intended to do the same thing, but word having been received from the council that that body was tired of being made the buffer between the house and the infuriated women, would pass the bill up to the governor. It was accordingly destroyed in the house The opinion prevails that the house would have passed the bill anyhow rc- glrdless of the probable action of the council.
 It came up somewhat unexpectedly. As late as noon some of the members did not know that it would be given a hearing. for it had been introduced only the day before. At . o'clock the judiciary committee to which it had been referred submitted two rcpor;s. One recommending it's passage was signed by Messrs. CoWan, Pdrr, Henry. Webb and Marian.
