STATEHOOD BILL is PASSED.
House Adds Oklahoma and Arizona to
the Union Group.

House ADDS oklahoma ana Arizona TO
the Union Group.
Some progress toward adding two
stars to the flag was made Tuesday
when the National House of Representa-
tives by vote of 14S to 104 adopted the
statehood bill making one State of In
dian and Oklahoma territories and am
other of Arizona and New Mexico. One
State win be known as Oklahoma, with
the capital at Guthrie, and the other as
Arizona, the capital of which will be
Santa Fe. Oklahoma will not become a
State until all the Indian treaties have
been extinguished, but Arizona will be
admitted as soon as the new constitution
has been ratifed by the people.
Until the next census is taken Okla
homa sill be entitled to FIVE representa-
tives in Congress, while Arizona viii be
given only two. OF course each State
will have two Senators. The Governors
of the States, the Legislatures, and the
members of the national House will be
elected on the day set for the ratification
of the constitutions of the two States.
Polygamy is forever prohibited in either

So, 100000 is made for a public school
system in Oklahoma, and 5 per cent of
the proceeds Of the public lands within
the State of Arizona which are sold sub

Democratic minority opposed the adop-
ton of the measure, and the vote cast
was divided on party lines.
The measure now goes to the Senate,
but there is no intention on the part of
the leaders of that body to adopt it at
this session. An attempt will be made,
however, to put it through next winter.

Ups Luas TO pEArH
Latest Disaster to Russian Warships
is Fully Explained.

The Japanese are elated over the sue
cesses they have won at Port Arthur.
They are also proud of the achievements
of Vice Admiral Togo. particularly of
his newest strategy of counter mining the
enemy's harbor and decoying him across
This field of mines to an equally danger
Gus flank attack.
The success OF the system OF placing
deadly counter-mines is due largely TO
series of careful observations made by
the japanese during their previous at
taeks on Port Arthur. The japanese
saw the Russian feet leave the harbor
and return to it several times. and they
discovered that the Russian warships
followed an Identical course every time
they came out or went in, evidently for
the purpose of avoiding their own mines.
The japanese took bearings on this
course. When the destroyer divisions
of the japanese torpedo fotilla laid the
counter-mines during the night of April
1918 they placed them along this course
The laying of these counter-mines was
exceedingly perilous. because, if any Jap
anese boat with mines on board had been
struck by lucky Russian shot she would
have been annihilated.
The weather of the night of April II
Is favored the work. There was heavy
rain, the night was dark and cloudy and
the Russian searchlights playing over
the channel failed to reveal the presence
of the japanese destroyers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in command
of the japanese squadron which decoyed
the Russian ships over the field of mines.
His squadron consisted of the cruisers
Chitose, Yoshino, Kasagi and Takasago,
all unarmored vessels, which presented a
tempting bait for the heavier Russian
ships.
Vice Admiral Tog directed the flank
attack. He had the battleships Hatsuse,
Mikasa. Asahi Shikishima, Yashima and
Full He waited thirty miles out at sea
until Rear Admiral Dewa signaled him
by wireless telegraphy to come in. His
vessels then dashed at fun speed toward
the entrance of the harbor. All the bat
tleships under Vice Admiral Togo are
capable of a speed of eighteen knots and
they quickly covered the distance.

The imperial palace at Seoul, Korea,
was destroyed by fire the other night. Vi
Hi-Young, the Emperor; Empress ON,
Yi-Si-Ek and the imperial household es-
capped to the American legation. The fire
was of incendiary origin. The British
legation was saved by hard work ON the
part of the Japanese, French and Italian
soldiers These forced an entrance to the
palace Enclosure and tore down the small
er buildings in juxtaposition to the pal
ace.
The palace cost about $250,000 when
built No estimate is given as to the
value of the contents. Several of the
officials are free in their assertions that
the fire was the work of persons recently
returned to Seoul after Punishment.
These persons, forming a guild, were
banished by royal edict a month and
more ago, but recently returned and have
since been suspected of intrigue with pro-
Russian influences. However. the suspi-
cions directed toward the members Of the
guild come from those officials pronounc
ed in their pro-Japanese sympathies.

GREAT TORONTO FIRE
BUSINESS AREA OF CANADIAN
CITY WRECKED.
Damage Done win Reach $4,000, 900
-Ruin Overtakes More than Thirty
Big Buildings Water at Last Stops
Course of Flames.

Flames that swept the wholesale dis
trict of Toronto, Canada, Tuesday night
with startling rapidity destroyed more
than thirty of the leading business build
ings. The property loss will reach $10,-
100000 From the Currie warehouse,
in Wellington street. where it originated,
the fire spread quickly to the west, con-
Stunning eight big buildings in less than an
hour. Then the flames made clean
sweep up Wellington street, leaving de-
VISITATION on both sides of that thorough
fare. The conaagration ragged down Bay
street, destroying every building on both
sides OF the street from the National
Club to Front street. Nothing could re-
sist the sweep of the fire as int rushed
down Bay street toward the lake. 1t
stopped only when it had reached the
water.
Help from Outside.
Appeals were sent early to every sur
rounding city where fire apparatus could
be obtained, including London, Montreal
Hamilton and even Buffalo, n. Y. Little
assistance arrived for several hours, and
by the time it came no number of men
and no amount of fire apparatus could
have checked the march of the flames.
Dynamite was used in an effort to stop
the spread of the fire, but though many
frame buildings and several huge bust
ness blocks were demolished. the flames
leaped the great gaps and licked up
building after building At IL o'clock
the fire was believed to be under CON
troll, but a rising and shifting wind turn
ed the torrent of fame down Bay street,
and it was after that that the greatest
damage was done.
Many Small Fires.
The fire started at o'clock. Through
out the course of the cohaagration high
winds carried huge brands to faraway
sections of the city, causing many incipi-
ent fires, which were fought by bucket
brigades of the householders, all the FIRE
fighting force being engaged at the scene
Of the conhagration.
The firemen made the figkt of their
lives. Several engine companies at times
were believed lost under falling debris,
but all emerged safely, and so far as is
known only one man is unaccounted for.
He is George Dowkes of Montreal, who
was with Fire Chief Thompson of To-
iremen on the ROOM Thompson was cut
off by the flames and jumped to the
ground, escaping with 4 broken leg. A
mass of wires broke his fall Dowkes
has not been seen since.
Almost the only building which dehed
the flames was the Queens Hotel, in
Wellington street. There the =. ork OF
the firemen seemed to avail ~ some ex-
tent, and the fire was stopped at that
point, but it swept across the street and
added blocks to the blackened trail of
ruined buildings
Repealed by Heat.
The heat in the streets was so fierce
that the fire-fghting forces were unable
to approach near enough to the fire to
do good service, ard were forced to do
the most of their work from side streets.
When the fire reached the lake fireboats
aided in preventing it from extending
along the water front, as was feared by
the iremen.
