Sta TEHOOD CRISIS NE4R.
Omnibus Measure 4Hacked as q
Rider to PostoHce Bill
IRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington, Feb 13.-The attaching of the
Statehood bill in the form of rider to the
Postoffice Appropriation bill to-day is heralded
by Senator Quay and his supporters as a VIC
tory, but is not so regarded by the opponents of
the measure. 1t would appear that Mr.. Quay
had not taken into consideration the fact that
this is the last appropriation bill which Mr.. Ma
son, in the Senate, and Mr.. Loud in the House,
will have the pleasure of plotting through Con-
gress, and it is maintained by prominent Sena-
tors that both of these men would abandon the
Statehood fight rather than their bill lost in
this session, only to be enacted by extra ses-
sion of the LVIIIth Congress- in which they will
have no part
The adoption of the Statehood rider by Fl
vote of to ;. and Senator Elkins would have
added one more to this majority had he been
present The Republicans who voted for the
amendment were Senators Penrose and Mitchell.
Senator Elkns said to-day that the Postoflce
bill would be reported promptly, and that Sen
ator Mason would insist early consideration.
As the rider has been made Section /. the point
of order Will be quickly raised and it is ex-
pected that the Chair will sustain it. Then will
come the most interesting vote of the contest,
when adherents of Statehood will be called on
to overrule the Chair on a point on which the
Chair is obviously and admittedly correct. Mr..
Elkins expresses confidence that the Chair will
be overruled. Opponents of the Statehood bill
express grave doubt on that point. but do not
speak confidently their antagonists. The
leaders have hesitation in saying, however.
that they will debate the question until March
4 rather than permit such precedent to be
esta blished.
Each side charges the other with "bluffing."
and declares that the opposition will not in any
event, have the courage to precipitate an extra
session of Congress
Meanwhile, the Agricultural Appropriation bill,
with the Statehood rider attached, remains un-
reported and is described by the Statehood

Il PHILIPPINE RAILROAD
important Franchise Granted by the
TAFT Commission.

Washington. Feb. 13.-The most important
franchise yet granted in the Philippines is con-
veyed in act by the Philippine Commission,
copy of which has just arrived here, granting
to the Manila Railway Company the right TO
construct a branch road forty miles long from
station named Guiguinto to an important
Philippine town, without railroad connec-
ton, known Cabanatuan northwest of Ma
Mia. Up to this time the backbone railroad from
Manila, straight northward to Dagupan, has
constituted the entire railway system of the
Philippines. and this concession marks the be-
ginning of an epoch of railway development
which is expected to open up the agricultural
resources of the interior.
The act is guarded carefully in the interest of
the natives. The last section expressly provides
that ii shall not prejudice the insular govern
ment or the government of the United States IN
the issues pending between the railway COM
pany and those governments to claims for
damages presented by the company.
