lit is to ascertain his views that the
various persons interested have talk
ed with the president They have de-
sired to know just what statehood leg
islation would receive his approval,
and he has not hesitated to anounnce
his attitude, which is in accord with
that Of the majority Of the republican
leaders, 1t is said. There really ap-
pears to be something like unanimity
Of agreement as to statehood legisla-
tion at this session, and unless discord
reveals itself two new states will Ger.
tainly be the result. 1t is also the
opinion Of the republican leaders that
no great amount of time viii be nee
essary in reaching a harmonious
agreement in congress.
The president is not in favor Of ad-
mitting the Indian territory to imme-
.diate statehood He would incorpor-
ate the territory into state with Ok.
lahoma, but would not admit all Of the
people to citizenship at once,
He would favor clauses something
like those concerning the Indians in
the bills admitting Kansas and Ne
braska to statehood. The Indian To-
calities would be turned into reser-
yations for the present. Gradually,
as the Indians became fit for citizen
ship, the reservations could come into
the new state, and in after years, when
there were no questions as to the
qualifications Of all the residents, the
territory included in the Indian terri.
tory could be admitted as a separate
state. The president has not at
tempted to work out the details of this
proposition.

Every member of the house COM

committeeman what they think OF
Delegate Rodey's bottles. A few days
ago the delegate received from New
Mexico case Of grape brandy, about

ties among various committees Of

ness. Each bottle was labeled:
This was raised from grapes i'm
ported from Valencia. Spain, fourteen
years ago"
But there was nothing TO show
whether grape brandy or grape wine
reposed within. The house agricul.
turists took It for granted that II was
wine.
Each man, however, was convinced
To the contrary on taking stiff drink

batted his eyes, shed copious tears,
and passed the bottle on In silence
TO the next member Of the commit

were shed than as many temperance
women could have mustered. had they
been able to witness the remarkable

From the Washington Satr.

From the washington Satr.
President Roosevelt, it is stated BY
several people who have talked with
him, has announced himself as favor
able to the creation Of two new states
at the present session Of congress. He
believes in consolidating Arizona and
New Mexico into one state, and Okla
homa and Indian Territory into anoth-
er. He favors certain provisions of
restriction, however. as to the last
two territories.
The president has given the boom
ers from the territories his opinions
as to the creation Of states, and it Is
beginning to be well understood.
Many of them do not agree with him,
but as the president is apparently
backed by the senate committee on
territories, and as there appears to
be an understanding among the re-
publican leaders that this solution
shall be enacted into law, objections
from people of the territories will
prove of no avail The president has
had numerous conferences on the
statehood propositions in the last few
days. He has talked to people from
the four territories, including Dele
gates Rodey and Maquire Of Arizona
and Oklahoma, respectively; Senator
Beyeridge, chairman Of the senate COM
mittee on territories, and a number
OF the senate and house leaders.
He has not definitely fixed upon
the details of the consolidation, and
he will not undertake to do this, In
asmuch as he does not propose to In
terfere with the wishes Of congress.
