 JOINT STATEHOOD MEASURE.
Bate Also Speaks Against Beverldge's ScheIne-FuItOn Discusses Pay- ment of Indemnity To Fur
 Seal Fishermen.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The statehood bill and the fur seal indemnity sbfll again divided the attention of the Sem ate today, and both again went over without action.
 MT. Fulton spoke in support of the indemity bill and Messrs. McCreary and Bate in opposition to the statehood measure
 Immediately after the senate was called to order President Pro Tenn Frye laid before it a telegram from the governor of New Mexico trans mitting a memorial adopted by the legislature of that territory protesting against the union of New Mexico and Arizona in one state and urging the admission of New Mexico as a state according to present boundaries. One of the reasons urged for admission was the fact that New Mexico supplied more than half of the regiment of Rough Riders commanded dur ing the Spanish war by Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt.
 Messrs. Foraker and German having declined to act as tellers in the can vass of the presidential vote, Presi- dent Pro Tenn Frye announced the selection in their stead of Messrs, Bur rows and Bailey.
 The senate resumed consideration of the statehood bill and Mir. McCreary spoke in opposition to that measure He announced his advocacy of separ- ate statehood for Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma as they are now consti- tuted.
 The senate passed a bill authorizing the Delta Southern Railway Company to construct a bridge across the Sun flower river in Mississippi.
 Commenting on the memorial of the New Mexico legislature presented in the senate today. MT. McCreary said 1t appeared that the people of that ter ritory were about as unanimous in their opposition as were the people of Arizona. Hence he said. the pend- ing bill must be considered in the light of force bill, distasteful alike to all in both territories"
 Mr. Bate opposed in vigorous lan- guage the consolidation plan. Declar- ing that the union was not desired, he said: This double territorial egg was laid by the chairman of the house committee on territories and upon the report of his committee was matched I in three and a half hours. the shortest period of gestatlon known to biologi- | cal history"
 Before MT. Bate concluded the sem ate at 3:55 D. m. went into executive session and at AIS D. m. adjourned.
