A statute IN iorcei' enacted April 10

Porto Rico.-I earnestly advocate tho

Insular Affairs In Gencral--I wish also
to call the attention of the congress to

of a railroad from the Gulf OF Alaska
to the Yukon river, in American terri
tory
that Indian Territory and Oklahoma be
admitted as one state and that New
Mexico and Arizona be admitted as one
state. There is no obligation upon as
to treat territorial subdivisions, which
are matters of convenience only, as
binding us on the question of admission
TO statehood. Nothing has taken up
more time in the congress during the
past few years than the question as TO
The statehood to be granted to the four
territories above mentioned. and after
careful consideration of all that has been
. deyeloped in the discussion of this lnss-
+ ton / recommend that they be immedi-
luleIy admitted as two states. There Is
, InO Justification for further delay: and
the advsability of making the four ter
ritories into two states has been clearly
: established.
