hOma and New Mexico.

Washington, Feb. 8.-After a con-
tinuous sitting of almost nine hours.
the senate passed the joint statehood
bill. AS passed the bill provides for
the admission of the states of Okla
homa. to be composed of Oklahoma

leo. according to the present boundar-
les, with Arizona eliminated.
The long session was characterized
by exciting incidents and many sur
prises. The senate proceeded to con-
slider the various amendments which
on territories and which had been
passed over One of the first of these
taken up was the amendment prohib-
iting the sale of intoxicating liquors
in what is now Indian Territory for the
next 10 years, and this was displaced
with substitute offered by Mr.. Gal
linger which extended the amend
ment to the entire state for a period
of 81 years, and this was adopted.
The senate decided by a vote of 3S
to 36 to entirely eliminate New Mexico
and Arizona from the bill, and this
result had hardly been announced
when Mr.. Bard. in slightly changed
form, renewed his proposition for the
admission of New Mexico as a state,
and this time the amendment pre-
vailed by vote of 40 to 81 One of
the affirmative votes was. however,
cast by Mr.. Beveridge. in charge of
the BILL for the purpose of moving the
reconsideration of the vote. He was
prompt in entering this motion us soon
as the result was announced. but the
motion was laid on the table by "A vote
of 80 to 3S. The effect was to eliminate
Arizona from the bill and to establish
q state of New Mexico and another of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. In
this form the bill passed.
The bill originated in the house and
will go to conference.

Wrecked Liner Reach Land.
Halifax. N. s.. Feb. 9.-After bat
ting for IL hours in an open boat with
the temperature two below zero and a
mighty gale lashing the sea. Captain
Gorst. three passengers and 10 of the
crew of the ill-fated Furness liner Da-
mara have reached Pleasant Point in
safety.
The news was brought to Musquodo-
bolt after hard days travel through
almost impossible snow-drifted roads,
by one of the crew who landed in the
first boat that left the wreck The
seaman reported that all in the cap
tain's lifeboat were badly frostbitten
and exhausted. some of them being so
benumbed from the cold that they had
to be lifted out of their seats.
The landing was effected with the
greatest difficulty. and all in the boat
were thoroughly drenched by the big
breakers. Every person was encased
with thick ice from head to foot. Near
by houses were opened up to the suf-
ferers. but it is not known whether or
not any of them will succumb 1t will
be several days before the survivors
can be brought to this city.
Mrs. Prowse. the woman passenger
who was in the boat, bore up under
the trying ordeal wonderfully well,
and endured the great hardship with
fortitude. She encouraged the men
when they were almost overcome by
the cold and wearied with constant
ing the rowers were so fatigued that
they could not force the boat through
the surf. and the men on shore waded
out and dragged the boat in.
