MARINE ASSOCIATION
WANTS SHIP SUBSIDY

New York, Feb. 21.-President C. B.
Parsons of the Maritime association of
New York has sent to Chairman
Grosvenor of the committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries, a letter
urging the passage of the ship sub
sldy bill. Citing reasons for voting
subsidy, Parsons calls attention to
the fact that American laborers refuse
10 accept employment at wages that
obtain abroad, thus making it impos-
slble for owners of American vessels
to probably compete with the more
cheaply built and more cheaply oper-
ated foreign ships. He also refers to
the recent investment OF 5000 OOO. 900
OF American capital in foreign ships
officered and manned ly foreigners.
He closes with an appeal to congress
TO assist by subsidy in the building of
a great American merchant marine.

WILL TRY TO RAISE BLOCKADE
TO STATEHOOD BILL.
FEAR OF EXTRA SESSION
Proposition to to Confer Statehood on
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
ard Arizona and New Mexico, the
Latter Two to be Called Montezu-
ma-No Legal Obstacles.

| Washington, Feb. 22.-The state,
hood compromise, which is expected
TO unlock the present tangle in the
senate and remove the blockade, pro-
poses to admit two states, one to he
Oklahoma, according to it's present
boundaries, with the proviso that the
indian territory shall be added to
Oklahoma in 1906, when the treaty
obligations with the Indians will not
De IN the way. The other state is to
be composed of New Mexico and Ari-
iona under the name of Montezuma
with the pioviso that when the pres
ent territory of Arizona has a popula.
tlon CT 100000 it shall become a sep
arate state, providing the people of
the territory effect a vote in favor of
Delng divided from Montezuma or
New Mexico.
senator Spooner is entrusted with
the legal questions involved. The
republican leaders conferred all dav
upon the compromise, and most of
the democrats were informed of the
general terms. To all questions as
TO whether they would accept such
compromise they laid that they
wanted to see the definite proposition
and to know from whom it came then
they would be in a position to confer
and decide. On the republican side
1t is found that Senators Beveridge
and Nelson, both members of the
committee on territories, are 10th to
accept airy compromise save that
which the majority originally present
ed. Their position is that the omni-
BUS bill is defeated and Senator
quay who has been SO persistentlv
pressing it, has lost strength by his
cour1e in supporting Senator Morgan
during the latter's fight against the
caral treaty. Senator Spooner re.
ported to his committee colleagues
that there was no legal difficulty in
the way of admitting Oklahoma and
afterward attaching the Indian Terri
tory to the state
The democratic position on COM
promise is an interesting feature of
the situation, for it is generally under
stood that unless there is practically
a unanimous agreement it could not
pass. Another feature of the demo-
cratic position which developed YES
terday was that many democrats are
lndlnerent as to an extra session,
while some think it would not be bad
party politics to have such a session
end have the subject of trust legisla-
ton and revision of tariff discussed. |
This idea was communicated to some
republican leaders yesterday and
caused considerable uneasiness. 1t is
realized that with the business now
pending in the senate very few men
could force enough appropriation bills |
over to cause an extra session. At
the same time the most experienced |
senators claim that before the coming
week has passed the blockade will be !
raised in some manner and all neces-
sary legislation disposed of by the 4th !
of March.
