PROPOSES TWO new STATES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT CON-
FERS WITH CONGREsSMEN.
All Phases of Statehood Problem Care
fully Observation-Disclosures
to the Plan.

Washington, March 3. - President
Roosevelt, in the last week, had several
conferences with senators and repre-
sentatives In congress who are interested
in the proposition to create new states.
The statehood problem has been dis
cussed carefully in all it's phases. 1t
Is understood to be the presidents solu-
ton of the problem that two new states
be created, one from Oklahoma and the
Indian territory, and one from the ter
ritories Of New Mexico and Arizona.
In this respect he is in agreement, at
least so far as Oklahoma and the Indian
territory are concerned, with the senate
committee on territories. The idea of
the creation of only two states does not
meet the approval OF the people in the
territories, and their objection to II may
delay statehood legislation. The presi-
dent has not suggested the details of
the plan to erect two states out of the
four territories, preferrng to leave them
to be worked out by congress. 1t is
said that the presidents idea is in ac-
cord with that of most of the leaders
In both bran hes of congress.
1t is pointed out that it is not urged
by the president that all the people, in
Guiding Indians, in the Indian terri
tory. shall be admitted as citizens i'm
mediately, but that gradually. as the In
dams become qualified for citizenship,
they may be accorded the rights Of citi-
zens, and that eventually, perhaps, the
Indian territory may be erected into

Are Reported killed-Russ;an
Guns Remain Silent.

st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Standard gives rumOr that the ear has
received a cablegram to the effect that
the japanese fleet bombarded VIadiyo-
stok all day Monday. According to this
rumor, only triliinE damage was in
flicted to the Russians, but one or two
japanese cruisers were sunk No word

In any other quarter
Russian Fleet in Critical Position.
London, March Sup to a late hour
the japanese legation here had received
no official confirmation regarding the
bombardment Of Vladivostok 1t is be-
leved at the legation, however, that the
Japanese are now between the Russian
cruiser squadron and Vladivostok, and
there is reason to believe that the Rus
sian squadron is in the vicinity of Pos
siet bay Russian official dispatches do
not mention this squadron, and this fact
lends color to the belief that the jap
ancse warships have shut it out of
Vladivostok. 1t is pointed out at the le-
cation that if this is true, the Russian
vessels are in a critical position since
they must run the gauntlet of the Jap
anese squadron off Port Arthur before
reaching Russian port.
