THE STATEHOOD ISSUE.

There IS peril in that project TO

Oklahoma and the Indian Territory

CURE Of Oklahoma has introduced a
bill TO admit Oklahoma and Indian

with these territories alone. This is
the correct procedure. McGulre's bill
provides for seven members Of the

projected state four from the Okla
homa section and three from the In.

tories have 100000 or 100000 pop

termined to yoke Oklahoma and It's

co. as was done in the two recent con
crosses. In his message the president
said he favored the admission Of the
four territories as two states. but he
did not urge the Incorporation Of
them in one bill. Mr.. Beyerldge, in
the senate. however, and Mr.. Hamil-
ton in the house, Hamilton being the
author Of the omnibus bill Of the late
congress, propose to join the two

Congress In Session.

The Fifty.ninth Congress met at
noon today. The Senate is Republi-
can by 25 majority and there will be
one Republican vacancy from Della
ware. In this Congress there are 81
Republicans and 80 Democrats but
for a while at least the Republican
strength of the Senate will be only
"a or B less than during the last Con-
gress. This will be due to the absence
of Senator Mitchell of Oregon; Sena-
tor Burton of Kansas and Senator
Lafollette of Wisconsin. Senators Bur-
ton and Mitchell are both under
sentence of Imprisonment but have ap-
pealed their cases aud will not in the
meantime enter the Senate. Among
the leading matters before Congress
are the proposition for the creation
of general staff for the navy; propo.
sitions to increase the personnel of
the navy; to reorganize the engineer
ing branch of the naval service and to
place captains and commanders on a
reserved list.

Office order from fifty cents 20 twenty
five dollars. Ii was presented to one
of the grocery stores in town who

As soon as the note went through
the proper channels and was presented
at the city postoffice the fraud was de.

but the grocer who cashed the post

CROWDS HEARD THE RESULT
Or THE GAME.
Street And Sidewalk In Front of
The Capital Office Thrcnged
With Anxious Ones.

Nowhere in Annapolis Saturday
was the Army Navy football game
bulletined except at the Capital office.
The Capital had its special wires and
telegraphic instrument in the Office in
the editorial rooms.
A special operator from the Postal
Telegraph Company was detailed to
receive the messages and as fast as
they were received they were called
out through megaphone to the wait.
ing and anxious throngs in the streets.
This was not all. The entire mes
sage was bulletined in front of the
Capital office immediately on its re-
ceipt and this paper published COM
plete and comprehensive account of the
game and was on the street in less
than AN hour after the score to 6
had been received.
This accommodated hundreds of peo-
pie who stayed at home. A vast
throng gathered in front of the office
to hear the returns and it was easy to
tell their sentiments in the matter.
When the Army had the better Of the
contest in the first half there were
groans from the crowd, but every lit
tie advantage for the Navy brought
out cheers. The Annapolis people
were especially pleased over the inn

cause it was led by Douglas Howard,

taincy of next years team are Herbert
j.. Spencer, of Duluth, Mimi, and
Homer II. Norton, of Cleveland, o.
Spencer will probably be selected.
The news that the Navy football
team had at least tied the Army after
losing in four successive years was a
source of great pleasure to all the
friends of the midshipmen here. 1t is
looked upon as virtual victory for
two reasons-drst, that the Navy,
though outplayed in the first half, tied
the score in the last half of the game,
and, second, because tie is a step
forward from the defeats of the four
previous games.
