There is Prevailing OpInIsn In Favcr
of Hamilton Bill.
BEVERIDGE SAYS TWO STATES.
Considerable Opposition to Single
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico Exists, But Beverage Be-
iIeves 1t Will Not Be Successful

Washington. Dec. 12.-Senator Bev-
eridge of Indiana, chairman of the
committee on territories had a con-
ference with the president in regard
to the status of the statehood legiS-
lation. The senator is confident that
congress at the present session will
erect two new states and that the
opposition to the legislation will not
be serious. One state will be erected
from Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and the other from New Mexico and
Arizona. Considerable opposition to
single statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico exists but Senator Beveridge
believes it will not be successful.
The Mcclure bill. introduced the
first day of this session of congress,
provides for seven congressional dis
tricts. In the event that the Hamil-
ton bill is passed unless there is
change there will be only five dis
tricts. These districts as arranged
are as follows: First, comprising the
counties of Grant, Kay, Garfield,
Noble, Pawnee, Kingfisher. Logan,
Payne, Lincoln and the territory COM
prising the Usage and Kansas Indian
reservations.
Second, comprising the counties of
Oklahoma, Canadian, Blaine, Caddo,
Custer. Dewey. Day, Woods, Wood
ward and Beaver
Third. comprising all the territory
now constituting the Cherokee, Creek
and Seminole nations and the. Indian
reservations lying northeast of the
Cherokee nation within said state.
Fourth. comprising all that terri
tory now constituting the Choctaw
nation and that part of the Ch1ckasaw
nation lying east of range between
ranges two and three and east of the
meridian.
Fifth, comprising the counties of
Greer, Roger Mills, Kiowa Washita,
Comanche. Cleveland and Pottawato-
mic and that portion of the territory
comprising the Chickasaw nation ly-
ing west of the range line between
ranges two and three and east of the
Indian meridian.
In the Mcclure bill Dennis Flynn is
thrown in district with Governor
Ferguson that is strongly Democratic.
The old Hamilton bill. and the one
which it is believed will pass at this
session of congress, Flynn is placed
in what is called the "Shoestring dis
trict' and which is Republican by a
good majority if the figures Of the
last election can be relied upon. The
Second or the "Shoestring district" it
is believed can be controlled by Den
mis- Flynn and insures his election to
congress if the bill becomes a law.
His district is oddly shaped.
Beginning at Oklahoma county. al
most at the territory line southwest
it extends in a northwesterly direc-
ton taking in string of counties and
finally winding up with Beaver at the
Colorado and Kansas lines, McGuire's
district, the First, is Republican by a
good majority as outlined in the Ham
ilton bill. 1t is even more so in the
MCGUIRE bill. 1t is evident therefore
that Delegate Mcclure will be we'll
taken care of if statehood comes this
winter.

ports the increase was 2,S49, although
the arrivals at Porto Rico were less

also was a large increase in arrivals
at Southern ports. while a decrease
is shown for the Pacific ports which
is accounted for in some measure by
the Russian-Japanese war.

Morocco City Slave Market.

In Marrakesh (Morocco City, the
slave market is held three times a
week in the two hours that precede
the setting of the sun and the closing
of the city gates. The market place
is an open space of bare, dry ground
hemmed in: with walls. and with a
ruinous arcade stretching along the
center. The wealthy patrons seat
themselves on the ground and the
auctioneer, after a prayer to Allah,
marches his wares round and round
the inclosure, receiving bids as he
goes.

There is a growing demand in New
York City that the public libraries be
kept open after 8 o'clock at night,
SO that those whose days are filed

the Bronx and Richmond are now
conducted makes practically inacces-
sible to the great mass of workers
