EAST AGAINST WEST.
Fear. Increased Power OF West In
Senate.

Washington, Mar s.-The statehood
question appears to be settling down
into fight between the East and the
West, as to representation in the SEN
ate. Many Of the eastern politicians
are unalterably opposed to favoring
any action that would seem to strength
en- the power Of the west in the senate,
and whileit has been practically SET
tied that Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory are to be admitted as one state,
regarding the only remaining terri
tories, New Mexico and Arizona, the
question still remains open. Among
others, Speaker Cannon has expressed
himself frankly against the prepara'
ton to admit Arizona and New Next
co as separate states. " cannot bring
myself," he said, ito view with com
placency the bringing into the Union
Of these two territories, with their
handful of people, and according them
each the same representation in the
senate as my imperial state of Illinois
Quite strong element favors admit
ting the two territories into the Unior

Arizona are overwhelmingly opposed

STATE CAPITOL BURNED.
Wisconsin Loses sSo0,OOO...State H.

Madison, Wis, Mar. 1.-The Wlscon-
sin state capitol building is damaged
100000 by fire. The state carries only
partial insurance, being in the process
of changing from insurance in COM
panies to system Of state insurance
The fire involves the building OF a new
capitol, a special session of the legisla-
ture and the probable renewal OF the
agitation in favor of the removal OF the
capitol from Madison to Milwaukee.
The fire was caused by defective
wiring. All the contents Of the i'm
mense law library were carried out,
together with large quantity OF other
books and papers. The priceless rec
ords stored in the Grand Army room
also were saved.
From an original cost Of sixty thou

Russia Would So Regard 4 Cable From
Guam 10 Japan.
PROTEST NOT YET RECEIVED
Washington Has Not Received an Appii-
cation From The Gable Company
But Consider Such Gable Purely
Commercial Transaction.

St. Petersburg, Mar. At an attempt
is made to lay a cable from the Island
Of Gaum to Japan during the contln-
uance Of hostilities it will be regarded
as contraband Of war under the procla-
nation recently promulgated. AS
pointed out to the Associated Press
correspondent, the proclamation is
specific on this question, and it is not
believed here that the United States
will undertake Or authorize such a
cable now, as II would constitute a
breach Of neutrality, according to the
Russian view.
Washington. Thus far the United
States government has not received
formally an application from the com
mercial Cable Company to land a ia
panese cable on the island Of Guam.
The government, however, has been
appealed TO in a tentative way by
representatives of the company so as to
ascertain how the United States would
view such an application if it were
made No decision has been reached,
although in the light Of present infor-
nation there is a manifest disposition
to regard such question as entirely
reasonable and proper. 1t is considered
that the laying of the cable would be a
purely commercial transaction and that
the granting Of permission for the
landing of the cable. at Guam would
not violate in any sense the position OF
neutrality which the United States has
assumed in respect to the Russo-Japan-
ese conflict. As heretofore indicated,
if the permission should be granted II
is quite likely that the use Of the cable
during the progress Of the war at least
might be hedged about by certain con
ditions, but even as to that point nc
definite decision has been reached. II
is said at the war department that this
is the only outlet that possible fol
Japan under the present concessions
The Great Northern Company, it il
stated, is the only company which hal
cables running into Japan and that's
Danish company which is under Rus
sian control, it being the land line
along the Siberian railway to thu
| Asiatic coast.
Russia has made no protest to thi
government against the granting o
permission to land the cable at Guam
II is assumed by Washington official
that If protest is made 1t will be FLEE
J through diplomatic channels. Wha
action the United States would take il
that event cannot be foretold, as !
would depend entirely on the circum
stances of the case.
