DEMOCRATIC PROPOSITION.
Statehood Measure Which Was Unsat-
isfactOry to Republican,.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The senator's,
who, as a committee of the Democratic
senatorial caucus, yesterday tentatively
submitted a counter statehood proposal to
the Republicans to-day presented their pro-
posal in formal shape to their Democratic
colleagues and it was again Endorsed. They
then submitted it to the Republican SEN
ators. Republicans favoring statehood in
dicated a willingness to accept, but the OPP
ponents of statehood declined, saying they
could go no further than they had gone in
their original offer. Following is the text
of the Democratic proposal:
1.-The State of Montezuma shall De di-
vided and the two States Of Montezuma
and Arizona shall be created therefrom,
the State of Montexuma being composed of
the territory within the present boundaries
of the Territory Of New Mexico, and the
State of Arizona being composed of the
territory within the present boundaries of
Arizona Territory: Provided, That the
creation of the two States of Montezuma
and Arizona shall be made by proclama-
ton of the President whenever Arizona, as
now bounded, shall have 100000 inhabitants
and provided that a census shall be taken
each year by the National Census Bureau
/ thereafter, and that not more than three
months shall be consumed in taking each
census"
The intent was to leave the provisions
regarding Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as submitted, but to submit the proposed
change for all proposals relating to the
Territories Of New Mexico and Arizona.

was not the Kate Of the story after the
first two acts She is a beautiful young
woman and. in lighter roles. she is
most pleasing actress, but she does not
possess enough emotional power to enact
her share in this heart tragedy. While
Kate was supposed TO be woman OF
somewhat shallow nature, still she was
capable of feeling deeply. and Miss Buck
ley's acting did not bring out this feature.
In the earlier part or the play she was
good-quite admirable during the first act,
in fact, for she seemed at home in play
ing the coquette. But she failed In attempt
ing TO depict motherly love, and no one
could feel that her voice rang true when
Kate cried out in anguish for the posses
sion Of her baby.
Joseph Kilgour played the selfish. un-
worthy Philip, and gave good interpre-

his line of stage work at all. His voice
and figure f1t him 10 act heroic roles, and
in the past he has usually been seen in
such parts Like O'Neill, he has strik
ing stage presence and a musical voice.
The two actors make a handsome pair
when they are seen together. The part
of Ross Christian was played by Frank
A. Conner, who made most intensely dis
agreeable person out of the young athlete.
As the character is meant to be wholly
despisable, Mr.. Common was a success.
Charles Kent gave good character sketch
as the old inn keeper and Miss Annie Wood
was delightful in the role of the faithful
Nancy. The smaller parts, of which there
were many. were in the hands of competent
players. The play was given a fine scenic
production from the first curtain to the
last. The engagement was for last night
only.

Mrs. Stanton's Daughter.
Ida H. Harper in New York Sun.

There is tradition that the children of
Radicals are usually Conservatives This
does not hold true in the case of Mrs Har-
riet Stanton Blatch, daughter of Eliza bet h
Cady Stanton, who begins tomorrow a
canvass of New Hampshire in the interest
of the pending suffrage amendment. Since
a girl in Vassar College Mrs. Blatch has
been an enthusiastic advocate of the en-
reimbursement of women. Most of her mar
ried life has been spent in England where
she was an influential worker in this move
ment. She is now in this country with her
husband. who has consented that their only
daughter shall be graduated from Cornell
University. She. too. is worthy descend
ant of mother and grandmother as she is
founder and president Of the College
Woman Suffrage Club.
Mrs. Batch has inherited her famous
mothers splendid powers of oratory, her
beauty, grace and fascination of manner.
Like her. she is an immaculate housekeeper
and devoted mother. and. like her. she is
strong in intellectual force, but with every
womanly charm. Although having lived
abroad for twenty years, she is intensely
American and loves the institutions of her
native country. She dsarms criticism at
every point and the most conservative New
Englander must feel his prejudices soften
ing under the clear logic. temperate argu-
ment and delightful personality of Eliza
beth Cady Stanton's daughter.

There is no harder working funmaker on
the stage than Billy B. Van, and there are
few comedians of the farcical kind that
possess so many original ideas. Van has
been seen in this city many times in bur-
lesque and has always been we'll liked, but
he is now having an opportunity to show
his real caliber star of musical alb
surdity entitled "BoIivar's Busy Day."
which opened a half-week's engagement at
the Park yesterday before two large audi
ences. The show itself is built on the order
of most other musical farces. but its ridic-
ulous happenings, combined in the custo-
mary incoherent fashion, follow one an
other with such Kaleidoscope rapidity, and
with such sudden zigzag OF plot that the
interest never flags for a moment and the
audience laughs and applauds continually
throughout the entertainment.
The absence from the cast of Mr.. Vans
wife, the jolly little Nellie ONeill. made 1T
necessary for the comedian to work all the
harder yesterday afternoon. Miss O'Neill is
i'll at Englishs Hotel and was advised by
the physician called in to attend her not TO
attempt to go on at either the matinee or

in the soubrette part of Primrose, and, al
though she filled the role acceptaoly ana
looked very pretty. she lacked, of course.
the dash and vivacity that characterize
Miss O'Neill's stage work.
The first act of the piece is merely Billy
Vans old vaudeville sketch elaborated and
heightened and the other two acts are
continuation of the adventures and misad-
ventures of Patsy Bolivar, the office boy
who Is always on the lookout for a new
job Van holds the center of the stage
nearly all of the time and he is very funny
in many Of the scenes. The large support
ing company Is quite adequate. although
none of the members are especially note
worthy, with the exception of Henrietta
Tedrow, a handsome blonde with a girlish
face and voice that comes pretty near
being a bass. Clement Blevens, as a loud
talking lawyer of the most exaggerated
kind lawyers are always exaggerated on
the stage); Alexander Cameron, as a gro
tesque theatrical manager; Frank G. Ev-
ans as the proprietor of a grocery store,
and William Zinell. in a character part. all
help materially in keeping the fun a-going.
There are a dozen or more young women
with the show who serve to brighten up the
musical numbers, of which there are many.
The staging of the piece deserves mention,
the setting in the second act showing the
interior of a grocery store being so much
like the real thing that the audience
yesterday afternoon applauded vigorously
when the scene was first disclosed to its
view. The show is pretty good one OF its
kind and can hardly fail TO amuse large
audiences for the rest of the week. The
manager of the company says that Miss
O'Neill will be able to resume her part this
afternoon and in all of the remaining per-
formances of the engagement here. With
Nellie ONeill in the cast the show Is sure
to be a great success.

Further Inquiry into Hills Case
Adjournment Is Due To-
morrow.

Eight true bills weres returned by
the grand jury this morning. There
are probably some for men already
lndlcted Or men connected with deals
on which bills have already been re-
turned. Arrangements will be made
tomorrow.
Following this mornings report the
grand jury adjourned to meet to-mor-
row morning, at which time the report
will be made and the jury discharged.
This final report will be brief and
will not hit at any particular persons
against whom the present investiga-
ton may have divulged some evidence.
There will be a brief resume of the
municipal investigation, which it is
claimed has been only we'll begun, but
the report Is not expected to be sensa-
tional. The evidence will be turned
over to the incoming grand jury.
Additional attention has been given
to former Police Captain Charles
r. Hill by the present jury. This
morning Otto Wirtensohn and Addie
Mills, a well-knoWn character were
called into the star chamber as wit
nesses. Questions put to them indi.
cate that the grand jury is again look
ing into Hills record. The reason,
probably, lies in the fact that the pres
ent case against Hill is not regarded
as strong.
