STATEHOOD BILL
TIE MAIN ISSUE
Debate in the Senate Promises
to be Lively.
COMPROMISE is POSSIBLE
PURE FOOD MEASURE IN THE
BACKGROUND.
COMPROMISE is POSSIBLE

ERI ASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The joint
wv statehood bill viii continue to be
the principal topic of discussion
in the senate during the present week.
but other measures will receive atten-
ton each day during the morning hour.
including the omnibus bill, for which
Senator Warren stands sponsor. The
bill comprises more than 200 pages. but
the senator already has succeeded in
having it read by utilizing odd hours,
and thus has put a large and important
part of the work Of consideration to
the rear An effort win be made to get
through the bill providing for the COM
pensation of American fishermen whose
vessels were seized previous to the ar
bitratiOn of 1898. This measure is in
the hands of Senator Fulton, who viii
press it as an act of justice to men who
he thinks have been Disseminated
against.
In the Background.
The pure food bill viii remain in the
background for the present, not be
cause the friends of that measure have
abandoned it. but because they consid-
er that its chances will be improved by
not pressing for immediate considera-
ton. They have been assured by the
Republican leaders that the bill shall
have first place on the calendar, aside
from appropriation bills, after the
statehood bill is disposed of, and there
fore they will not antagonize the state
hood bill for the present, if at all. Dis
cusSion of the statehood question Will
begin on Monday with a speech by
Senator Morgan, and he will be fol-
lowed by other opposing senators. The
present plan of the opposition is to
keep the discussion going until some
of the appropriation bills are reported
and it becomes necessary TO take them
up; or, if this is postponed too long, to
displace the bill with the pure food
bill.
Compromise Possible.
Failing in all these. expedients, they
probably will seek compromise The
only real fight is against the uniting of
Arizona and New Mexico. and there is
talk of eliminating those territories en-
tirely from the statehood proposition
1t is believed il this were done the bill
for the consolidation Of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory would pass. Thus far
there have been no conferences of OPP
posing factions on the subject, and
probably little will be done to change
the present status so long as the lead
ers are anxious TO keep other matters
in the background, as appears to be
the case at present
