STATEHOOD BILL LOST.
senate's Action Sounds Death Kneii
for Measure.

IOIssWSdSAIS.
Washington, Feb 24-The political
play OF the party leaders in both
houses seems certain to result in the
absolute defeat of all statehood legis-
lation at this session. This fact is
greatly deplored, especially with ref
erence to Indian Territory, where. eT-
erybody acquaint I'd with the facts re-
alizes that some hing should be done
to give the people some kind of gov
eminent and where, except for some
slight resemblance to city government,
there is nothing in the way of lawful
authority for the governing of more
than half million people.
The relations between the leaders
in the senate and the house have be-
come considerably strained in conse-
quence of the coup brought out by the
Democrats with the aid of a few Re
publicans in the senate in so changing
the bill as to provide for statehood for
New Mexico.
In an effort to bring about an agree
ment between the two houses it is un-
dsrstood that Speaker Cannon sent an
ultimatum to the senate managers
that in view of the. course pursued in
the senate of making party question
OF the statehood matter it would be
Impossible to secure agreement on
terms other than those of the original
bill as it nassed the house.

End War.
Washington, Feb. 24-There was an
unusual influx OF representatives Of
foreign countries even for diplomatic
day at the state department and many
of them called upon Secretary Hay
primarily to secure any information
he might have respecting the founda-
ton for the sudden revival of talk of
peace negotiations. The Russian am
bassador was a prominent caller, but
the Japanese minister was absent, be-
ing out of town on a duck hunting
trip. The secretary had nothing new
to communicate, as such information
as he has received failed to indicate
that the time had not yet arrived for
any change in the attitude of the gov
ernment Of the United States towards
the belligerents, nor was there evi-
dence that the European governments
have been doing more than to take
careful soundings to test the real sen
Nments of the belligerents with the
result that they also are satisfied that
the opportune moment has not arrived
for the exhibition of pressure in the
direction Of peace, even in the most
friendly and amicable spirit.

ST. PETERSBURG HEARS GREAT
BATTLE is PROCEEDING ON
PLAINS NEAR MukDEN.
WAR OFFICE HAS NO CONFIRMATION
SPECIAL DISPATCHES SEEN TO
INDICATE lMMlNENcE OF
MoMENToUs EVENTS.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 24.--Although
the city continues full of rumors that
big battle is proceeding below
Mukden the war Office does not offer
! any confirmation of the reports. Spe-
cial dispatches, however, as well as
can be judged by the mutilated man
ner in which they were allowed to pass
the censors, portend the imminence
| of extensive operations. The Japanese
are showing activity on both hanks
and the railroad has again been dam
aged by raid of Japanese and Chi
nese bandits.
af1oat to the effect that the opinion
expressed by German military au-
thorities based on reports from mill
tary experts at the front that the sit
uation is by no means hopeless has
greatly Influenced the emperor and
encouraged him against the idea of
concluding peace.
WITH THE UTMOST ENERGY.
Gar Decides to Vigorously Prosecute
the War.
Berlin, Feb. 24.-The emperor OF
war.
His position is absolutely firm and
the German court has been advised in
that sense. The war will be pressed
with the utmost energy, the domestic
situation being now within the control
of the authorities. Those who have
advised peace and suggested inquiries
for Japans terms. the French and
British governments, are for the pres
ent silent and are likely to remain so
unless events of an extraordinary
character shake the Russian emper-
or's resolution. The considerations
that led to the emperors decision as
understood here are:
First-The Judgment of the chiefs
of the army that Field Marshal Oyama
not only cannot defeat General Kuro-
patllin but stands in danger of defeat
himself. How cowardly, therefore, for
Russian to ask for mercy, with all the
men and money essential to success
full war.
Second-All the forces Of criticism
now directed against the government
for having fought rather than yield to
legitimate interests and for having
failed to win victories would be con
tinued with added fury against the
government that accepted war and
then betrayed the country. A govern
ment that would crave peace Of Rus
sia's enemy while still capable of win
ming victories would be giving the
party of change genuine grounds for
revolution.
The facts of the military situation,
love of country and arguments of ex-
pediency were all against peace and
for pressing the war hopefully.
