WILL Be JOINED
INTO One STATE,
BILL is TO BE REPORTED JOINING
OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TER.
RiToRY UNDER THE NAME OF
OKLAHOMA.

Washington, February 1S.-As the re-
suit of the territorial hearings for state
hood, the prediction Is made from reliable
sources that a bill will be reported in
the near future from the house COM
mittee on territories joining Oklahoma
and Indian Territory into single state
under the name of Oklahoma.
This state will not be admitted, how
ever, until after the allotment Of lands
by the Dawes commission has been en-
tirely completed, and the school land
question has been settled. This 1t is esti-
mated, will take at least two years. The
state when admitted 1t is expected, will
have a population of about S00.O00 and
will be divided into four congressional
districts.
Later a bill will be reported admitting
Arizona and New Mexico as a single
state. but this latter proposition will not
be pressed for some time.

RUSSIA ISSUES
PROCLAMATION
EXPLAINS UNDERGRADUATES FOR
WAR AT TIME OF FIRST JAPAN
ESE ATTACK AND URGES SUB
JEcTS TO BE PATIENT.

ST. Petersburg, February 1S.-An official
proclamation explaining the unprepared-
ness of Russia for war and the necessity
for the exercise of patience by her people
has been issued here. 1t is as follows:
Eight days have now elapsed since all
Russia was shaken with profound indig-
nation against enemy who suddenly
broke off negotiations and by treacher-
GUS attack endeavored to obtain an easy
success In a war long desired. The Rus
sian nation, with natural impatience, de-
sires prompt vengeance and awaits fever
ishly news from the far east.
The unity and strength of the Russian
people leave no room for doubt that ia
pan will receive the chastisement she
deserves for her treachery and her pro-
vocation to war at time when our be-
loved sovereign desired to maintain
peace among nations. The conditions un-
der which hostilities are being carried on
compel us to wait with patience the news
of the success of our troops, which can
not occur before decisive actions are
fought by the Russian army
THE distance of the territory and the
desire of the emperor to maintain peace
were the cause of the impossibiity of
more complete and effective prepara-
tons for war. Much time is now neces-
sary in order to strike at Japan, but 1t
was worthy Of the dignity and might of
Russia. and while sparing as much as
possible the shedding of blood of her
children to infiict just chastisement upon
the nation which had provoked the strug-
gle, Russia must await the event in pa
thence. being sure that our army will
avenge an hundred fold that provocation.
Operations on land must not be ex-
pected for some time yet, and we cannot
obtain early news from the seat of war.
The useless shedding Of blood is unwor-
thy the greatness and power of Russia.
"Our country displays such unity and
desire for self-sacrifice on behalf of the
national cause that all true news from
the scene of hostilities will be immedi-
ately due to the entire nation"

Al EXIEFF WRITES OF
PORT ARTHUR FIGHT
JAPAN DENIES HER
FLEET WAS HURT
REPAIRS HAVE ALREADY BEEN
MADE AND VESSELS ARE IN
TAcT-NoNE OF THEM WAS DE-
STRoYED.

London, February 1S.-The Japanese 1e-
cation here received an official dispatch
today from Toxic, saying it was not
true that any Japanese vessels had been
destroyed, so far as in any of the various
naval engagements and that all neces-
sary repairs had already been made. The
Japanese fleet remains intact.
This message also denies the report that
the Japanese were driven from the
neighborhood of Kin Chau after a skir-
mish in which $50 Japanese were taken
prisoners, and declares that the Japanese
made no attempt to land at Pigeon bay.
1t says the Japanese forces have up to
the present time made no attempt to land
at any point where they could come in
contact with the Russians, and that con
sequently all reports of land actions and
Japanese losses are untrue.

gle he was finally elected from the

WILLIAMS ENTERS THE FIGHT
Smith Amendment Preeludlng Expend'
ltures in Philippines for Fortify-
ing Islands Is Defeated
In the House.

Washington, February 1s.-The house
today passed the fortifcations appropria
tions bill. The Philippine question was
the subject of brief but spirited discus
sion while the bill was under considera-
f1on.
An item in the bill provided for forti-
fications in the insular possessions. Mr..
Smith. democrat of Kentucky proposed
an amendment to preclude the use of any
part of the appropriation for fortihcation
in the Philippines. holding that an ex-
penditure of the sum necessary to proper
ly fortify the islands, was not warranted
until the future of the archipelago shall
have been determined. A party alignment
on the proposition Immediately followed,
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi. the minor
lty leader. taking up the fight for the
amendment
He said the dominant power had not
yet declared itself as to the future of the
islands. and that he did not want the
lesson taught that one people might rule
another.
Messrs. Payne of New York and Smith
of Iowa, on the republican side, second
ed Mr.. Littauer of New York, who was in
charge of the bill In opposition to the
amendment, declaring 1t was the duty of
this government to afford protection to
fthe people of the Philippines. BY a strict
party vote of so to 90 the Smith amend

Resignation Is Received.

Washington, February 18.-The state

cepted the resignation of w. l. Buch-
anan the American minister to Pan

Felt Chapter to Be Closed.

Washington February 1s.-On Tuesday
last the Associated Press quoted a state
department official as stating that there
will be no more notes exchanged at pres
ent relative to the naturalization of Chi
ma. as the powers having accepted the
general principle of naturalization, the
state department felt that chapter to be
closed. This is evidently the information
referred to as causing surprise in st. Pc
tersburg official circles. Russias adher-
ence to the principle of the Hay note was
regarded several days ago as assured,
although no formal response of the czar's
government has been received.

BUSINESS RUNS SMOOTHLY

Baltimore, February 1s-The current of
financial and general commercial business
today flowed more smoothly in Baltimore
than on any day since the great confag-
ration. In banking and trade circles there
were evidences of increased determination
to hold on to all that belongs to this city
in the way of business. Clearings of the
Baltimore banks were 50. 769, ,662. Insurance
experts were in an optimistic frame OF
mind today over the prospect that the ag
gregate insurance loss will be consider
ably smaller than was at first expected.
They now are confident that their loss
caused by the conhagratlon will not ex-
ceed s4oOOO,oOO and that it will not be
under S32. 100000.

Laborers Flockina In.

The authorities here report that unem-
ployed persons, particularly mechanics.
are fiocking from other points to this
city by the hundreds, and indications are
that the volume will steadily increase.
Many of these who have arrived and find
ing nothing to do, and being without
money have already applied for transpor-
tation back to their homes.
Supervisor Crasty of the citys charity
department has requested the Associated
Press to say that there is only enough
work here to give employment to Balti-
more workmen, and that the home work.
ers will be awarded the preference in
every instance. In view of the fact that
the aid of the state Is needed to assist
Baltimore In bearing the burden OF the
fire, the Grand Army of the Republic de-
partment of Maryland, has asked that the
bill authorizing an appropriation of $780,
900 to build a monument to commemorate
the valor of the union sailors and soldiers
during the civil war, be withdrawn.

Subject to a Point of Order.

Mr.. Littauer said he thought such an
amendment would be subject to a point
of order and added that congress should
have confidence in the government 8
board of experts in the expenditure Of the
sum appropriated for experimental pur-
poses as they deem wsest. He said fur
ther that the board of ordnance and for
tifcations was of the opinion that II an
airship like Mr.. Langley proposed would
prove success IL would be valuable In
time of war. In further reply to Mr.
Robinson, Mr.. Littauer said he under
stood that $4,000 had been allotted for
the board of experiments.
Mr.. Brundidge of Arkansas thought the
aggregate carried by the bill could be
still further reduced.
Mr.. Hill OF Connecticut, in a political
speech, asked what democracy stands
for, addressing his inquiries In general to
Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi. the minority
leader. Calling attention to Mr.. Will
Jams statement that the silver question
had been relegated, Mr.. Hill said against
Mr. Williams he would place Mr.. Bryan
who. he says has declared that the Kan
sas City platform should be reaffrmed at
st. Louis. In quoting from Mr.. Cleveland
he spoke Of him as the most distinguished
democratic President the country has
had.

Mr. Littauer, an annual charge of $18,000,-
900 to maintain and man the defences will

Given to Minority Leader.

Mr.. Hill said the power had been given
to the minority leader to name the minor
ity membership of the committees of the
house, and showed what the minority
represented In population.
Mr.. Hill asked-addressng himself par
ticularly to Mr.. Willlams-why it was
that ffty-seven democratic districts OF
the north had not been given assign
ments and why the democratic vacations
on the ways and means committee had
not been hlled for two months Was (,
