WATSON IS CHOSEN REPUBLICAN WHIP Territories Will be Admitted as
 One State REPUBLICAN CAUCUS HELD Oklahoma and Indian Territory Will Be Coupled for Admission, and
 Arizona and New
 Mexico.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS HELD

Washington, December 14.--The republi- can members of the House in caucus to- day unanimously declared in favor of ad- hitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state, and by vote of no to 65 de- clared in favor of admitting Arizona and New Mexico as one state. Both state hood questions are to be contained in one bill. The only objection to the programme was directed against joining Arizona and New Mexico. and it is understood that MT. Adams of Wisconsin and MT. Taw- ney of Minnesota, were the only speakers on this side.
 The programme of the leaders was pre- scented at the outset by MT. Hamilton, chairman of the committee on territories, in resolution which he offered. He de- clared 1t to be the sense of the caucus that one state be made out of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, and one state out of Arizona and New Mexico, and that the committee on territories be re- quested to formulate this plan in one bill.
 The Hamilton bill already introduced contains the necessary conditions to meet this resolution, and will undoubtedly be the measure reported to Congress. Hear ings of measures embodying constitution al provision on the sale of liquor in the two territories were begun today Aside from this the bill practically is In shape to report. The liquor hearings will not be hurried. and the plan now seems to be to delay until after the holiday recess When it is reported. rule will be brought in for its immediate consideration by the house.
 The conference had not proceeded long when the debate was limited to f1ve-min- ute speeches, and this action caused com plaint by those opposed to the admission of New Mexico and Arizona.
 Speaker Cannon took the floor and spoke vigorously for the two state plan. After MT. Adams and MT. Tawney had opposed It, MT. Grosvenor of Ohio took the oppor- tunity to use number of newspaper clip pings giving an account of what he term ed 'Junket' which a number of mem bers of the House had taken through the territories last summer at which time they publicly stated they would oppose the ad- mission jointly of Arizona and New Mex leo.
 Questions were asked to the binding character of the conference and replies emphatically indicated that conference of republican members of the House should be considered binding on the men participating in them. MT. Lacey secured the division on the resolution and when both parts had been adopted Chairman Hepburn on being requested to rule on the result. stated that the resolution must be adopted in its entirety: that the bill must constitute a statehood measure for two states and that there could be no division of the qeuStion.
 Representative Watson of Indiana was chosen by the conference as the republican whip to succeed MT. Tawney of Min nesota.

FACED DEATH FOR
 EXCITEMENT OF IT
A MAN FLIES OVER CHICAGO IN
 AN AIRSHIP AND LANDS SAFELY AFTER MANY EXCITING EXPERT ENcEs-HANDS NEARLY FRozE.

Chicago December 14.-with the daring of man who faces death for the ex~ citement of 1t, Horace B. Wild. an cleo trician of Chicago, yesterday, for the first time in his life made a flight In an airship. He scared to a height of 25oo feet above the ground.
 After a series of thrilling experiences he returned to the earth safely, three miles from where he had started on his trip, in a machine which never had been tested before. His flight was over Grand Crossing, and was witnessed by hundreds of spectators.
 The trip through the air, at the height of half a mile, was made under difficult ties, Wild's greatest peril was the danger of losing his hold upon the machine on account of the cold. Twice his numbed fingers slipped from their grasp of the frame of the ship and twice he caught himself by hooking his heels into the grooves of the crossbeams.
 When the big airship sailed away the crowds cheered and Wild waved his hand gleefully.
 For a time all went we'll Then the en- BlDe OptidllDB tht PioPeh'i SeOtfN' " cause the supply of gasoline was ex- hausted. Wild realized that he was going higher and higher and had no means of propeling the ship in the direction of the earth.
 Wild, in a frantic endeavor to escape destruction, climbed into the network of the gas-filed bag above him and holding on with the fingers of one hand, almost frozen off, with his teeth he unfastened the cord that held the escape valve. per hitting the gas to escape in sufficient quantities to allow his floating to the ground.
 The pulling down of the air ship by It's trail rope was accomplished by two women and a boy with the greatest diff ficulty and at great personal risk. for several parts of the machinery became detached and their falling to the ground so frightened the balloon that 1t struggled with renewed energy to escape into the clouds. If 1t had escaped from the res cuers. Wilds death would have been cer- tain, as hS would have been carried out into the lake.

YELLOW BOOK IS
 ISSUED BY FRANCE
AN EXHAUSTIVE HISTORY OF THE FRENCH POLICY IN MOROCCO IS SHOWN AND EVENTS LEADING TO CRISIS.

Paris, December 14.--A yellow book Jn Morocco issued today gives an exhaustive history of French policy in Morocco, and the events leading up to the Franco-Ger- man crisis. The dispatches between Paris and Berlin prior to NJ. Delcasses re- tirement from the foreign office show that the relations were seriously strained. The French ambassador at Berlin. M. Bihourd, telegraphed April 2s that Germany re- fused to answer the inquiries of M. Del casse concerning the sufficiency of his explanations of the manner in which the Anglo French agreement was communi- cated to Germany. Bihourd also reported that close to Emperor William, included beligerent advisers. who pointed out that the Franco Russian alliance had just re- ceived d serious check by The events in Manchuria and reported that the hour was proptious for an armed struggle against France. The France ambassador further reported that direct negotiations were impossible, and here, therefore, would recommend indirect negotiations on the basis of the Moorish conference, which was eventually adopted.

 UP IN THE COMMITTEE,

Washington, December 14.--(Spe- cial)-It is taken here as matter of course that the conhrmat.a 70 of l.. J. Parsons for the Montgomery district will be hung up indefinitely in the senate judiciary committee.
 Parsons is alleged to be incompe- tent and nonresident of the dis trict. The opposition to him and to Pope Long. the new marshal in the Birmingham district. is not ex- pected to defeat confirmation. and both men will probably be con firmed at later date.

Com nander T. P. Magruder aide to Superin- tendent Sands, said today that the in- vestigaton had been placed absolutely into the hands of the board of inquiry. of which Lieutenant Commander E. H. Durrell is senior member, and this board would report the result to the superln- tendent Commander Magruder said fur ther that 1t was the intention of the authorities here to investigate the matter to the fullest extent and to deal dras- tically with it, with a full determination to stamp out the custom which he branded as a disgrace to the academy The seeming determination is not only to Investigate the cases of Kimbrough and Coffin. but to go to the bottom of hazing at the academy. The opinion is expressed officially that the investigation may last for two or three weeks. The board of inquiry was in session today and witnesses were summoned One of these before the body today was Mid- shipman Coffin. Both Midshipman Kim brough and Midshipman Cooper, who are patients at the academy hospital, are re- ported as improving.

IMPERIAL FAMILY STAYS

St. Petersburg. December 13 Mid night), via Eydtkuhenen, East Prussia, December 14.-According to reports from Tsarskoe-Selo the Russian camarllo headed by General Count Alexis 1gna- tieff and M. Strehnsky. formed to effect the downfall of Count Witte and to ere ate a dictatorship has failed, and his majesty Is standing firmly by the premier.
 M Mendhilkoff, the well known writer, who is in close touch with the court, is out with strong article demanding the inauguration of an aggressive fight against the revolution before 1t is too late. M. MendhilSoff says the revolu- tionaries, like the French constitutional- ists, do not conceal their intentions. They act in the full light of day, while the government works in secret. The govern ment, it is true, has cannon, but perhaps only for the present while they are not necessary. Whe nthey are needed none can guarantee that they will not be in the possession of the revolutionaries. The present anarchy and suspense are due to the inaction of the government M. Witte, like Kuropatkin, not only permits the enemy to arm and to concentrate his forces, but to make his dispositions and to choose the moment for giving battle. Such tactics will no more win in Russia than they did in Manchura.

Mayor Carlyon has vetoed the ordi-
nance passed by the Council, at its last
meeting, granting a thirty-fve year
franchise to the Home Automatic
Telephone system, asked by Charles
Sumner and associates, OF Portland.
The ordinance is Objectionable in
many particulars. One of these is the
indefiniteness as to the form of instru.
ment to be installed; another is in the
use of language that may be juggled
to mean any rate the company chooses
to impose, and there are quite mum.
Der OF others. The greatest objection
it appears to us, is that if two systems
are maintained, our business men will
be compelled, by close competition for
trade, to install both to be in touch
with possible customers. There seems
scarcely no two opinions on this sub
ject, the Mayors action meeting with
the approval of every class of business
men, and as the City Council repre-.
sents the people, it will doubtless be
unanimously in support of the veto,
IS it would have originally opposed
the franchise had it been subjected to
closer examination and more thorough
consideration.
