WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 16.-
The present week shows that prom
ises have not been kept SO far as the
statehood bill goes 1t still lags in
lIt Studttt anu IN put dS "
the important appropriation bills, but
the dragging process is disappearing
from day to day. and the fact that no
legislation of any kind has been
blocked by this bill, makes its friends
this morning little dubious as to the
outcome
Senator Quay still insists he will
have 1t through in a few days, but as
many Republicans demand the com
promise measure" which neither the
Democrats nor the people of the ter
ritores appear to want puts things in
mixed condition. Last week the
bill was surely to pass Tuesday or
Wednesday, its friends declared. This
week the outlook is not as bright as
then, and only fourteen days remain
of the present session.
Senator Morgan is open in his dec
laration of insincerity on the part OF
the Republicans. On the other hand,
Senator Quay declares he will have
the statehood bill taken up every af-
ternoon this week after routine busi-
ness until disposed of.
The measure stands in the way OF
the important Panama and Cuban
treaties, and may possibly result in
an extra session.
