conscious to the floor in the ante-room.
There he was seized. Doctor Wasast-
jerua was called Immediately, but found
the procurator beyond need of bis SER

FILLED WITH FLOATING ICE.
Condition In Norfolk HarhOr The Worst
For Many Years.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 6.-For the fret
time in years Norfolk harbor was well
filed with floating ice cakes today, and
navigation was confined entirely to the
larger shipping and the steel ferryboats.
The rain and warmer weather this morn
ing tended to soften the ice in the tribu-
tarles to the Elizabeth river, and the foes
that came out with the tide filed the har-
Dor to the danger line.
The oyster industry is paralysed and
oystermen fear that the movement of the
ice in the rivers and bay will cause thops,
ands of dollars damage to barbors and
piers, as well as small boats used in the
business.
The movement Of ice down the James
river reached such proportions this after
noon that large fleet of big sailing yes
sells signalled for tngs and were towed into
the inner barbor for safety.

the severest of the winter. The official
report showed degrees last night, and "a
was the highest at any time today.
The streams are 80 tightly frozen that

FOR FLAG
Joint Statehood Bill Passes the Senate,
! Providing for Two New States.
ARIZONA FAILS TO GET In FAMILY
Oklahoma and Indian Territory to Become
State of 0klahOma-New Mexico to
Keep Name and Become State.

Washington, Feb. AFTER a contin-
uous sitting of almost nine hours the SEN
ate at S:45 O'Clock tonight passed the Joint
statehood bill. As passed the bill provides
for the admission of the states of Okla
homa, to be composed of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, and New Mexico, &C.
cording to its present boundaries with
Arizona eliminated.
The long session was characterized by
exciting incidents and many surprises. Be
ginning promptly upon the convenlng at
l2 o'clock the 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 prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors, IN what Is now
Indian Territory, for the next ten years,
and this was displaced with substitute
offered by Mr.. Gallinger, which extended
the amendment to the entire state for a
period of twenty-one years, and this was
adopted by vote of 55 to 20.
The first surprise of the day came when
the committee accepted Mr.. Foraker's
amendment providing for separate vote
by each of the territories of Arizona and
Mexico on the constitution to be adopted
by the proposed state of Arizona. That
provision had scarcely been made part
of the bill when MIR. Bard presented his
amendment which had been originally
offered by MIR. Patterson and which pro-
vided for the admission of New Mexico as
state without the addition of Arizona.
This amendment proved to be the point
around which all the subsequent proceed
ings of importance revolved. 1t was at
first adopted by the close vote of 42to 49,
This was taken while the senate was cit
ting in committee of the whole, and was
reversed in the senate proper by the tie
vote of 3S to 3S.
Subsequently the Senate adopting an
amendment offered by Mr.. Bacon, de-
cided by vote of 9S to 56, to entirely
eliminate New Mexico and Arizona from
the bill. This result had hardly been an
nounced when Mr.. Bard, in slightly
changed form, renewed bis proposition for
the admission of New Mexico as State
and this time the amendment prevailed
by the vote of 40 to 81. One of the af-
frmative votes was, however, cast by Mr..
Beveridge, in, charge of the bill, for the
purporse of moving the reconsideration OF
the vote. He was prompt In entering this
motion as soon as the result was announc'
ed, but the motion was laid upon the ta-
BILE by vote of 80 to 9S. The effect was
to eliminate Arizona from the bill and to
establish State of New Mexico and an
other of Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
, In this form the bill passed.

THE WEST VIRGINIA CHARGES.
Alleged Corruption by Standard oil
Company Under Investigation.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. John
WorthingIon and United States Marshal
Elliott today appeared before the West
Virginia Legislative committee investiqat-
ing the charges made by Elliott in letter
to Worthington of alleged corruption by
the Standard Oil Company.
Elliott admitted writing the letter and
said he placed it in bis grip. When he
left Charleston the morning after writing
the letter he opened his grip and found
that the letter had been stolen. 1t was,
therefore, never sent to WorthiDgton.
Elliott denied that he was employed by
the Standard Oil Company to fight the oil
and gas legislation. He stated that be
had no knowledge of any member OF the
Legislature receiving any money to cast
his vote against the bill
John Worthington, addressee of the
Elliott letter, followed Elliott. He said
he was an emplye of the South Pennsylva-
MIA OIL Company, and was fighting the
bill in the interest of the Hope Gas Co.
Answering query, be sald that be bad
no knowledge that the South Pennsylva-
MIA Company was affiliated with the STAN
dard Oil Company, except that friendly
relations existed between the two compA.
nies. He said he never offered any mon
etary inducement to any member Of the
Legislature to cast his vote against the gas
measure; that he knew of no dta between
Governor-elect Dawson and the Standard
Oil Company by which the latter company
was to give its influence in West Virginia
in the interests of the Republican party
on the promise of opposition TO any legis-
lation detrimental to their interests.
