Washington. Jan. 5.-The joint statehood bill again today occupied the major portion of the attention Of the senate and MT. Nelson completed his speech in support of 1t. The omnibus claim bill was read in part, but no ef- fort was made to secure action on it. Fills for the reorganization of the medi- cal corps of the army and regulating promotions of army officers in the ord- nance department were passed
 In the course of his address MT. Nei- son was interrogated by a number of senators among them being MT. For aker. who called attention to prOviso of the organic act of the territory or Arizona concerning it's continuance as such. "Is not that prOviso in the n9.' ture of 9 pledge for a continuance of the territory as it was created until it should be transformed into state. asked the Ohio senator, but MT. Nel- son did not assent to the proposition.
 ''But." he said, even if it was a pledge it was not an irrevOcable one, for congress remains absolutely in control of the territories until they become states. so that it is perfectly competent to change the boundaries if it is desired to do SO"
 Mr Nelson argued that while New Mexico and Arizona cover an extended area, the section has been backward in development and will continue to be. owing to lack of moisture. He did not admit, as was suggested by Mr. For aker. that the backwardness was due to hostile Indians or the existence of Mexican land grants. He read a let ter from Director WOlcott of the geo. logical survey. saying that only about 1900. 600 acres of land in Arizona and New Mexico, or one per cent of the to- tai area. was under irrigation or cap able of irrigation.

THE FORESTRY CONGRESS
The Principal Address of the Session
 by President Roosevelt.

Washington Jan. 5.-President Roosevelt was the principal speaker at a special session of the American For estry congress held this afternoon at the National theater. The president, accompanied by Secretary Loeb. arriv- ed at the theater promptly at 3 o'clock. He was escorted to the stage entrance and as he appeared before the i'm mense audience which filled every part of the house, the people received him standing, while the theater rang with applause and the orchestra played a patriotic air.
 Secretary Wilson presided over the session and many of the most distin guished people in official and social life were in the audience. Secretary Taft and Mrs. Taft, Secretary Hitchcock and Mrs Hitchcock and Miss Hitch cock, and Sir Mortimer Durand. the British ambassador, occupied boxes. On the stage were many prominent members of the forestry congress.
 Secretary Wilson, in presenting President Roosevelt, who was the first speaker, made no address. simply in troducing MT. Roosevelt as president of the United States. After the ap- plause had subsided, the president de- livered his address which was punctu- ated frequently with applause. At the conclusion of the address the president, lowing his acknowledgements to the audience, left the theater and returned to the White House. the audience standing and the band played "The Star Spangled Banner" before he left the stage.
 Secretary Wilson then introduced M. Jusserand, the ambassador of France. who delivered an address on 'The For est Policy of France" When the am bassador had concluded the band play ed "The MarseiIlaise."
 Other speakers at the session were Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railway, who in dis cussing the dependence of business in terests upon the forest, showed the inn portance of cooperation with the gov ernment in the preservation of timber lands, the interests of all being de- pendent, the one upon the other; and F. E. Weyerhauser of St. Paul. who urged the necessity of arousing public interest in practical forestry, speaking from the standpoint of a practical lumberman.

made, for the police had been fixed. If they were not fixed they would have been had they tried to interfere. At the conclusion of the ritualistic tor lures, the candidates were led to the dining hall and introduced to a pre- arranged plan conceived in Hoghes restaurant, designed to incUlcatc the virtues of suicide by the banquet route. Suicide was not compulsory but no properly constituted man would refuse a proper effort in that direction after viewing the table. This sort of a death is recommended as being most pleasant, because it is lingering and one gets his moneys worth. It may be years before the victim finally sue cumbs, but it is a cinch that every man who participated in that banquet will die.
 The menu consisted of roast pig turkey, roast beef, boiled ham, cold tongue and about everything else one could think of that would go through a mans face without spelling it's shape It was served a Ia Hoghe's ranch, with green trimmings. Some of it was straight up and some of it was turned over. but it all went down at the finish.
 The banquet hall was specially dec- orated. There were antlers and pur- pie ribbons alternating with rainbow fresco work till the lawns imagined the whole world was a lodge room and there was nothing in it but Elks and good things to eat and nothing to it without them. And perhaps they were right. The poet says man wants but little here below and statistics tell us that he dies but once. There is a bunch of lawns now ready for the har- vest for they got all that was coming to them last night and all the rest of life will be velvet.

RUssIA's INTERNAL WOES.
1t Is Possible that They Will Force
 Peace With Japan.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The emperor returned today to Tsarskoe-Selo from Minsk- An extraordinary council is expected to be held at Tsarskoe- Selo immediately and it is believed the whole situation will be reviewed. Ku- ropatkin has been called upon to tele- graph his opinion of the situation at home. There is evidence that revo- lutionary agitatOrs have decided to take every advantage of the govern ment's embarrassment and that the moderate liberals who are trying to force the hand of the government to compel the summOning of a national assembly are also beginning to re- double their efforts. The newspapers, despite the punishment inflicted upon them are speaking with great bOldness and seemingly regardless of cOnse- Quences are savagely criticising bur eaucracy. The zemstvOs, despite the governments warning, continue to memoralize the throne on reforms. Consequently in spite of the loud pro testations of the official world that peace is impossible, the opinion is held by shrewd observers that the govern ment may be forced to conclude a peace with Japan in order to have free hands to deal with the internal situa- tion
 Tsarskoe-Selo, Jan. 5.-The emperor received this morning the report of M Witte, the finance minister, in re- gard to progress of the work of draft ing reform measures. Subsequently NJ. Witte Iunched with his majesty and had a long conference with him.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.-As the result of 9 clash between the federal and county authorities that has been on since Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick arrived in this city from New York as to who had jurisdiction over the prisoner while she is in the county jail. the fe- deraI authorities tonight definitely stated that they would assure such control under the authority vested in them by the decision of the supreme court in a similar case and which they think can be applied in this case
