DEBATE ENDED
ON STATEHOOD
Beyeridge Makes the Closing
Argument for the Bill on
the Floor of the Senate
SPEAKS THREE HOURS
He Favors Union of Arizona
and New Mexico, and Okla
hOma and Indian Territory

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The long
drawn out general debate on the bill
creating two States out of the Terri
tories of Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Arizona was con-
cluded to-day with a speech by Bev-
eridge OF Indiana, which consumed
the greater part of the days session.
He reviewed the principal arguments
in opposition to the bill, giving special
attention to the proposition to unite
Arizona and New Mexico. He spoke
for almost three hours and closed amid
a cordial burst of applause from the
galleries.
Previous to Beveridge's speech For
aker spoke in support of his amend
ment to eliminate Arizona and New
Mexico from the proposition The
only other important business of the
day was the receipt of the House rep
lication to Judge Swayne's answer in
the Impeachment trial.
Beveridge based his advocacy of
the statehood bill upon the theory
that Congress has absolute control of
the creation new States and in
celebrating he said the interests of the
nation as a whole were paramount to
the wishes of the people of the Terri
tories. He declared that the consti-
any condition in such legislation and
quoted many precedents 10 show that
the tendency was toward large areas
and extensive population in forming
new States which, he said, must be
the case in order 10 do justice TO sis
ter States.
He contended that Arizona and New
Mexico were similar in topography
and other circumstances and not nat
cd hxro q mn
as had been aimed by some of the
opponents of the bill
Beveridge contended that the Gre
alton of Arizona Territory had not in
volved any contract to maintain the
boundary thus established and his ar
gument on this point caused an inter-
ruption by Alger. who said that peo-
pie who settled in Arizona had gone
there on a practical contract with the
national Government.
IF he said. THE United States is
not going to keep its agreement, what
are ve here for?
Beveridge replied that there was no
more reason why perpetual pledge
should have been given to the people
of Arizona than to those Of any other
Territory.
NO doubt" replied Alger, 'the
Senator knows all that 1 know and
more. but l know that when / was in
Arizona L heard a number Of men re-
fer to the pledge in a way showing
perfect familiarity with it,.
He added that he had become the
owner of considerable property in
Arizona which he would sell in a
minute if the present bill should be-
come law.
The vote on the bill will take place
tomorrow.
A bill was passed adding to the
State of Arkansas a small strip of
land in Fort Smith. now in Indian
Territory.

DIPLOMATS IN A FURRY.
Disturbed by Durand's Night Call al
the White House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Because
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British EN-
bassador. in response to an invitation
from the President, accompanied
Spring-Rice. the first secretary of the
British embassy at ST. Petersburg, TO
the White House last night for an
informal chat, the diplomatic corps
was ,agog to-day over the supposed
significance of the conference.
An early caller at the State Depart
meat to-day was Takahira, the Jap
anese Minister. who spent some time
with Secretary Hay. The hesitancy
with which the Minister replied to the
question as to whether peace pro-
posals were in the air contributed to
the suspicious already af1oat that this
Government was contemplating a step
toward Intervention. Later in the day
came Count Cassini, the Russian EN-
bassador. The ambassador received
the most positive and categorical as
surances that this Government was
not exchanging any ideas with any
Government regarding the ending of
the war and that the conference at
the White House was without political
significance.

GRIPENBERG DISOBEYs ORDERS
Sacrifice of Thousands OF Men the
Cause of His Recall.

ST PETERSBURG, Feb 6-The
press is authorized to announce that
not the slightest information has been

General Kuropatkin. On the contrary.
the War Offices information indicates
no change whatever In the headquar-

The version of the departure of Cen

eral left the front because he exceeded
General Kuropatkin's orders in push
ing beyond Sandepas and needlessly
sacrificed thousands of men. This led

WAIT In Vain
FOR THEIR SON
Disappearance of Wealthy
Klondiker Brings Sorrow
to Aged Couple i'm Fresno
PLAN A GLAD REUNION
Willard Akin Has Not Been
Seen Since He Boarded Yes
sci Bound for San Francisco
Special Dispatch to Tn. cau.

FRESNO, Feb. 6.-Willard Akin, for
many years a well-known man in this
city, has mysteriously disappeared
More than month ago he left Seattle
to return home, but from that time no
trace OF his Whereabouts has been dis
covered. His parents, who are wealthy
vineyardists OF Oleander. have exhaust
ed every feasible means TO learn some-
thing of their absent son. but all to no
avail. The aged couple have not seen
their boy for many years, and while a
few weeks since they were exuberant
with joy to find that he had decided to
return. now they are plunged in the
depth or gloom for fear that some dire
misfortune has befallen him. He was
we'll supplied with money and far from
respondent when last seen.
Seven years ago Willard Akin bade
his parents farewell and set out to
amass wealth in the gold fields Of the
Klondike- At first he met with but lit
tie success. but subsequently, fortune
smiled uDon his efforts and he found a
spot near Valdez where the sands ran
rich with gold. He could not leave his
mining interests in the hands of others.
and his parents, who are both octO-
genarians. did not feel able to endure
the tfresome trip to the frozen north
He wrote regularly. however to tell
the loved ones Of his adventures and
his progress
In November he sent word that he
had finally found time to come back to
Fresno and that he would leave Alaska
as soon as possible. Late in December
he wrote from Seattle that he would
sail next day for San Francisco on the
Queen and that he would come to
Fresno on the day after his arrival in
the metropolis.
Not a word has since been heard
from him. The Atkins noted the arrival
OF the Queen and prepared to welcome
the long-absent son. Day after day
passed. and when he failed to appear
they became alarmed Urgent mes
sages requesting Information were sent
out broadcast.
1t was learned from the steamship
officials that the missing man had
boarded the vessel at Seattle but
whether he ever descended the gang
plank at San Francisco cannot be dis
covered His anxiety TO get home after
his long absence bars the theory Of sui
eide. His parents are almost sure now
after their long and fruitIess search
that he is either the victim OF a fatal
accident or has met with foul play

OFFICIALS FORCED TO MARCH.
Captured by Strikers and Given a
Place In Parade

BERLIN. Feb. 6.-The Lokal An
zeiger's correspondent at Kattowitz
telegraphs:
"A state of siege has been declared at
Sosnovice, General Jedczynski taking
command. The superintendent of police
has been dismissed from office. Gath
erings of as many as three persons on
the streets are forbidden The military
are using their arms at the slightest
disobedience of orders The tearing
down of placards announcing the state
of siege is punished with ten days i'm
prlsonment. Serious collisions are ex-
pected. The strikers have abundant
supplies of dynamite and hand bombs.
The exodus of Germans by rail is very
heavy. Germans arriving a Sosnovice
are advised by the authorities to re-
main at the railway station for safety.
The procession of strikers at Sosno-
vice. estimated at $4,000 persons, con-
tanned number of German mining Of
ficials, whom the strikers had acquired
and compelled to march in their ranks
The Russian, industrial district along
the frontier is suffering great financial
losses through the strike. 1t is esti-
mated that s5,000,000 of German capital
is employed at Sosnovice."
The Tageblatt's Kattowitz corre-
spondent reports that 1900 soldiers have
marched into Sosnovice under two gem
erals and that important events are
impending.
The Vossische Zeitung's correspond
ent at kattowitz says:
Three agitators were arrested at
Sosnovice on Saturday for distributing
revolutionary appeals to the soldiers.
One of the men arrested is a German
Thousands of leaflets were seized in

Under date of February 3 the Vos-

The military are taking sharp meas
ures against the populace. Many SOL
diers and police have already been
killed. Some high officers have been ar

ment. The people are living in extreme
excitement and great fear. Many have
fed to foreign countries. There have
been a number of dynamite explosions
caused by the Socialists, but they have
failed to do much damage. The schools

MINERS STRIKE
MAY SOON end
Some Have Already Resumed
Work and a Vote Will Be
Taken Thursday in Essen
PROPOSED LAW FAVORED
Government Plans by a New
Statute to Bring About
Better Conditions for Men

ESSEN, Feb. 6.-The committee of
seven to-day addressed a telegram to
the Mine Owners Association, politely
asking an interview for a discussion of
the five points in the operatives de-
mands which the committee believed
would lead to a resumption of work
The association replied with equal po-
liteness, declining to receive the COM
mittee, alleging that it did not repre-
sent the operatives, since 1t was un-
able to control their actions. The as
sociation was willing only to discuss
reasonable complaints after work was
resumed.
After getting this reply, Johann Eff
fert, chairman of the committee of seven,
telegraphed to Chancellor Won Bulow
informing him of the fruitless corre-
spondence with the association, max
ing certain moderate demands for the
operatives, and stating that the work
would perhaps be commenced imme-
diately il conferences were commenced
The Chancellor answered that if work
were resumed he would receive repre-
sentatives of the operatives and en-
ployers for further negotiations.
The committee decided that it was
unable to advise the miners to resume
but would leave the matter to the con-
ference of delegates of the whole min
ing district, which will meet on Thurs
day.
BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Two or three
thousand coal miners who struck in the
Silesian district returned to work to-
day, believing that the Governments
bill now in preparation will readjust
their relations with their employers
The Governments proposed law limits
the working day to Line hours in gal
Ieries where the temperature is about
40 degrees Fahrenheit, including the
time going in and coming out of the
mines. In temperatures of 81 degrees
Fahrenheit and higher only a six-hour
day is permitted. Within two or three
years the nine-hour day Is to be short
ened to eight and one-half hours.
About nine-tenths of the miners of
Germany come within these provisions.
Overtime will be paid for at the high
est rate.
Workmen's committees shall be rec
ognized by mine owners as represent
ing the men. Making the present con-
dftion of the miners worse in any par
ticular than it is now is forbidden.
CHARLEROI, Belgium, Feb. 6.-As
a result of the decision of the miners
congress yesterday to declare a gem
eral strike TO begin to-day, work was
completely suspended this morning at
eight collieries and there was a partial
strike at thirteen others. Work is pro-
ceeding as usual at twelve collieries
