STATEHOOD BILL IN THE SENATE,
General Debate Cosed--Note on the Bill
and Amendments To-day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. B-The Statehood
bill was taken up after routine business
to-day in the Senate and Mr.. Foraker made
a speech againS It. He said he had no
objection to that portion Of the bill pro-
viding for the admission OF Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, and directed his criticism
TO the proposed union OF New Mexico and
ArizonH His objection to the latter por-
ton OF the bill was that II did not. give the
people OF each Territory an independent
vote on the question OF Statehood. An
amendment to remedy that objection was
offered by Mr.. Foraker. he also offered
an amendment providing for the separate
admission OF New Mexico and Arizona.
The people OF Arizona, said Mr.. Foraker.
were almost unitedly opposed TO union
with New Mexico. It would be unwise 10
unite the two Territories. even II the people
OF both were in favor Of It. The new State
would be too large and cumbersome. This
was the first time in the history OF the
country that Congress proposed TO com
pei the people Of a Territory TO come into
the Union against their Will
Mr.. Beveridge, chairman OF the Com
mittee on Territories and in charge of the
Statehood bill, followed Mr.. Foraker and
made a speech closing the general debate,
Tomorrow viii be devoted to considera-
ton OF amendments under tho ten minute
rule and a vote will he had on all amend
ments and the bill itself before adjourn
ment OF tomorrow session.
Everybody Interested in the Statehood
bill IL in the dark as to what the outcome
will be except in one particular. IL IA
regarded as certain that the admission of
the new State Of Oklahoma Is assured, but
beyond that everything is uncertain.
Whether the lot OK Arizona will be cast
with that of New Mexico, as the House bill
provides, or New Mexico admitted as a
State, and Arizona. in response to the de-
mand Of her people. left under territorial
for1n OF government, cannot be foretold
The Republican opponents of Joint state
hood for Arizona and New Mexico are
very determined. By refusing 10 pair with
absent Republicans who are in favor Of
making these two Territories into one State.
they hope to defeat that feature Of the
House bill. The Democrats are expected
to vote solidly with them. 1t il being
claimed tonight that even II the Republican
Senators opposed to joint statehood agree
to pair with their party colleagues they
will he victorious by majority Of three.

ADDICKs NOMINATED AGAIN.
He gees TO the Delaware Capital TO See
That Ills Henchmen DO II.

DOVER, Del Feb. 0.--When the contest
for the Senatorship began here to-day
j. Edward Addicss applicant for the office
OF United States Senator, appeared per-
sonally. Later he was nominated by his
adherents for Senator.
The caucusing was preceded by con-
sultations and interviews throughout the
day. and Addioks was early on the scene
to encourage his men and keep them In
line for the voting which begins to-mor-
row. His generalship counted from the very
first.
There was rumor that while the twenty
two legislators elected by the Addicks Re
publicans Of Kent and Sussex counties
might support him tomorrow and for
several days Of the joint session they would
not continue to vote for him, but would
desert the ranks and leave only six mem
bers OF their faction. Addicks's first con-
ference was with Senators Conner, d. o.
Moore and Barnard and Representatives
Abbott and Baggs, who, it Is asserted,
would greatly prefer vacancy from this
State in the United States Senate than
to Zee Addicks defeated As thirty-one
of the Legislature Of fifty-two members
re Republicans, these five would be all
tnht are necessary TO DrlnB ABOUT DEAD
lock, even should the threatened break
from Addicks 40 deplete his ranks as to
carry away all but the five.
Tonight the Addlcks legislators wrote
a caucus call and served t upon the nine
Regulars from New Castle The latter,
seeing that participation In such a caucus
meant the inevitable selection OF Addicks,
scampered away hot foot for their various
homes
The twenty-five Addicks men met in the
hall OF the House OF Representatives, SEN
ator Pennewill presiding, and nominated
Addicks for Senator. He remained out
side until after his nomination. The Demo-
Gratis predict harmony in their camp to-
morrow. II so. the vote will stand: Addicks.

AS TO COUNTRY ROADS
A Few Suggestions by Engineer E. R.
 Patrick.

The recent carnival of mud has caused H. R. Patrick to whip into shape a few ideas concerning country roads that have been preying on his mind for the last twenty years, or ever since there was anybody in this country to build roads. As most readers know, MT. Patrick is a civil engineer by rro- fession. or at least he is an engineer and is as civil as anybody is expected to be who lives in the country and has to wade through the mud to get to town.
 MT. Patrick says there has been mere wasted energy in road building in this country than there is any excuse for and the roads now after years of work and the expenditure of consid derabIe money are but little better than they were a decade ago. The reason for this he does not lay at the door of any individual but like Mir. Lawson Ire cries out against the system" or rather the lack of system.
 The trouble with the roads is that the county. or the road overseers try to make too much road in one place when they make any at all with the result in the first place that they over
