STATEHOOD BILL PASSES.

For Two New States.

For Two New States,
Washington, special.-After a con.
tinuous sitting Of almost nine hours
tho Senate at S:A5 o'clock Tuesday
night passed the joint Statehood bill.
AS passed the bill provides for the ad-
mission OF the States Of Oklahoma. to
be composed of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, and New Mexico, according
to its present boundaries, with Arizona
eliminated. The long session was
characterized by exciting incidents
and many surprises. Beginning
promptly upon the convening at II
o'clock tie Senate proceeded to con-
slider the various amendments which
had been suggested by the committee
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 ten years and this was dis.
placed with substitute offered by
Mr.. Gallinger which extended the
amendment to the entire State for a
period of 81 years, and this was adopt
ed by vote of SIS to 20. The first sui.
prise of the day came when the com.
mittee accepted Mr. Foraker's amend.
ment providing for separate vote by
each of the Territories and Arizona on
the constitution to De adopted by. the
proposed State of Arizona. That pro-
vision had scarcely been made a part
Of the bill when Mr.. Bard offered his
amendment. which mad been originally
offered by Patterson and which pro-
vided for the admission of New Mexi-
co as a State without. the addition Of
Arizona. This amendment proved to
be the point around which ALL the
subsequent proceedings Of Importance
revolved. 1t was at first adopted by
the close vote of ~ to 40. This vote
was taken while the Senate was sitting
in committee Of the whole, and was
reversed in the Senate proper by tie
tic vote vote to 3S to 3S.

DANGER SEEMS OVER
Everything Mas Quiet Enough Sunday
Id 81, Petersburg
WAS k0,RIoTING In ANY QUARTER
Demonstrations Were Not Attempted
and the Only Disorder Was in The
atre at Night When Abuse Of the
Car Was Shouted by the Audience.

St. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Tbe an
ticipated renewal Of trouble amonk
workmen today was not realized.
Neither strikers nor students made the
slightest attempt to demonstrate, and
throughout the day the city presented
a normal appearance. The Emperor's
creation of joint cemnaissioh of mas
ters and workhen, chosen by them
selves, to Investigate the cause Of dis
content among the laborers has made
an exceedingly good impression, be-
ing considered definite evidence OF the
governments purpose to- compel some
Of the rapacious masters who have
paid starvation wages to do justice to
their employees.
The imperial decree ordering the
formation of the committee reposes
the presidency CT the body in Senator
Chidlovski, a member Ct the council
Of the empire, and instructs the COM
nittee to ascertain Immediately the
causes Of discomfort of st. Petersburg
workmen and devise measures to pre-
vent such discomfort ih the future.
The committee consists of representa-
tiYes Of government departments, the
various industries, and the workmen.
The President is authorized to report
in person to the Emperor and deter
mine the number and mode of selec-
ton of the committee. At the Mali
Theatre a scene was created by cries
Of "Down with the autocracy" and
personal abuse Of the Emperor. The
demonstrators were elected from the
theatre.
The police continue to make arrests.
The Cars Announcement.
st. Petersburg, By Cable.-The news
that Emperor Nicholas has endorsed
the scheme for the revival of the Zem-
sky Seabor, or ancient land parlia-
ment, which the old Emperors invoked
in times Of stress. tH bread through
the city and created intense satisfac-
ton among liberal classes. The news
papers this morning were filled with
articles descriptive Of this ancient Rus.
sian institution, indicating that word
had gone forth that the government
had decided to listen to the voice OF
representatives of the people. Natur-
ally, there is some skepticism as to
whether the government intends frank
ly to take the steps, but the general
verdict is that if the Emperor has sue
ceeded in shaking off reactionary In.
fuences and now proceeds in good
faith to summon the Zemsky Seabor,
they will rally to his support the mod
crate Liberals, and perhaps arouse
wave of genuine enthusiam in the
country. Liberals are convinced that
the meeting of such representative
body must be followed by important
and widespread reforms.
