STATEHOOD BILL OCCUPIES SENATE
DURING THE DEBATE SEVERAL HEATED coLLooulEs OCCUR IN WHICH BOTH SIDES ARE Ac- cuSED OF DESTRUCTION.

Washington, January 23.--The state hood bill again occupied the attention of the senate today. During the debate sev- eral spirited colloquies occurred in which senators on both sides of the question charged the others with obstructing im- portant legislation. MT. Burnham con- tinued his remarks in opposition to the admission of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico and spoke for two hours without concluding.
 During the morning hour MT. Fairbanks made an intellectual attempt to secure consideration of the immigration bill. Af- ter an executive session lasting from 5 to b:45 D. m. the senate adjourned until tomorrow.

the President and Mrs. Roosevelt is re- garded as distinct departure.
 Southern members or the senate and house commented upon the new order of things at the White House last night in a rather emphatic manner, although since the Booker Washington dinner they are about prepared for anything which may take place in White House society cir eles. It is reported tonight that Henry W. Lewis, who was recently appointed by the President assistant district attorney of Boston, has been invited to visit the President at the White House at an early date.
 The following are some of the views expressed by southern members today:
 Senator Tillman ''The thing that bothers me most is the fact that my name was printed this morning as among the guests present at the reception last night. This same mistake was made on the occasion of the diplomatic reception.

TWO HEAVY SHOCKS
 FELT AT SAVANNAH
SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUSED FROM THEIR BEDS AT TY6EE ISLAND, BUT THE EARTHQUAKE DoKs NO SERIOUS DAMAGE.

2 Savannah January 23.-Two earthquake shocks were generally felt in Savannah today at S:15 o'clock. News from the settlements along the coast indicate that they were of sufficient violence to rock houses and cause considerable excite ment. From Tybee Island came the re- ports of the greatest violence and decided alarm was caused among the few who populate the resort at this season. Mrs. Evans, the mistress of the light house, telephoned that five shocks had shaken the lighthouse so that in the living rooms forty feet from the ground, the sleeping children had been awakened and greatly frightened.
 In other houses of the island the shocks were as perceptible. and 1t was some time before the excitement subsided. In the city no report of any damage has beer received and 1t Is doubtful if there will be any, as the shocks were scarcely severe enough.
 Shock Felt at Augusta.
 Augusta, Ga, January 2.-A slight earthquake shock was felt here tonight al s:15 p. m. No damage resulted.

NEW DEPARTMENT
 BILL CONSIDERED
COMMERCE MEASURE IS HAVING SOME TROUBLE, BUT sUB-coM- MITTEE IS INCLINED TO MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS.

Washington, January 23.-The bill for the creation of the new executive de- partment of commerce was under con- sideration at the hands of a sub-com- mittee of the senate committee on com merce for two hours today, and decision was practically reached as to the lines of the recommendation to be made to the full committee.
 In general way the subcommittee is inclined to adhere to the bill as 1t passed the senate, although there is a willing ness to make minor concessions. The members were a unit, however, in the opinion that the provision authorizing the President to transfer the interstate commerce commission and other bureaus to the proposed department which was inserted by the house should go out and will so recommend to the full committee.
