WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 3O.-The
expected agreement for a vote on the
statehood bill was made in the senate
this afternoon, February being the
date fixed on. On that day the amend
ments that have been offered to the
bill will be taken UP and disposed of,
either by acceptance or rejection, and
then the bill as amended will be voted
on.
This agreement is the outcome of
more than weeks negotiations be-
tween the various factions of Republic
ans who want different notifications
of the bill, and the Democrats. The
agreement became possible only after
the opponents of the bill in its present
form satisfied themselves there was no
danger that it could pass IL it was al
lowed to go to vote without modlh-
cations that would make it acceptable
to them. One modification to which
all sides seem to agree is the elm
ination of Arizona from its provisions,
thus leaving the territory in its pres
ent status for at least two years to
come. This having been done, 1t is i'm
possible to say at this time what else
will be done with the bill. There is a
strong belief that means will be found
to secure the admission of New Mex
leo as single state, and Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as another state.
If this is done and a majority of sem
stors vote for the passage of the bill
in this shape, there are intimations the
bill will be killed in conference.
Senator Beveridge is strongly OPP
posed to leaving Arizona out and ad-
mitting New Mexico as a separate
state, and it is said he can be relied
on to kill the bill in conference if it is
twisted into this shape by amendment
in the senate.
1t can thus be seen that the bill is
not yet out of the woods, and that it
may in the end fail of passage alto
gether. But the proposition to elm
mate Arizona and admit New Mexico
separately in addition to Oklahoma
and Indian Territory appears to be
very strong, and those who favor it
are going to begin a campaign tomor-
low for the purpose of assuring safe
majority of the senate for it before the
vote is taken on the 7th. If they can
get a decisive majority for. the propo-
sition, they can prevent Beveridge
from taking any action in conference
which would be contrary to the plain
wishes of the senate.

ATTEMPT TO KILL
RUSSIAN PRINCE
tcontInued from Page onel


to warsaw. to secure full report on
the circumstances.
Count Lamsdorff hasteued to reply
to Ambassador Hardiges note ex-
pressing regret If the British consul
general and vice consul at Warsaw
were injured and informing him that
an immediate inquiry would be made
to establish the facts
The consuls are understood to have
been wounded by Cossacks while the
latter were clearing the streets.
Count Lamsdorff replied to Ambas-
sador Hardinge's second note on the
subject of the Moscow placards by say
ing that instructions had been sent to
remove all traces of the placards from
the streets 1t is now learned, how
ever that similar notices had been
posted at Libau and Reval which led
to a renewal of representations on this
score. In this. connection the appear
ance of the proclamation of the Holy
Synod instructing the orthodox priests
to inform their parishioners that the
strike and revolutionary movements
were promoted by the external as well
as internal enemies of Russia with
the object of embarrassing the mill
tary and naval plans, has created some
thing of a furry among foreigners
here, especially the British who be-
lieve that the object is to incite hos
tilities. No further action, however,
has been taken either by Ambassador
Hardinge or the other foreign repre-
sentatives.
Private advices from Warsaw say the
authorities there have already taken
over charge of the waterworks, cleo
trio light and gas plants and that Sc
rious trouble is anticipated.

SCIENTIST URGES
NOVEL INSTITUTE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Official
announcement of researches along va
Year Book of 1904 just issued by the
Carnegie institution of Washington. In
this report Prof. Simon Newcomb sug-
gests that while the nineteenth cen-
tury has been ndustriously piling up
a vast mass of astronomical, meteoro-
logical and sociological data at great
expense the world over the working
out of results from these observations
is defective and lacks system.
To correct this, he urges the organi-
zation of an institute or bureau "of
exact science in general" the head of
which should be aided by council of
experts picked from various countries
TO advise as to the various depart
ments at work with a view to reaching
results at small expenses, which with
out such organization never would be
reached.
In this connection the approval Of
such men ais Karl Pearson of the Uni
versity College of London. Lord
Raleigh of the Royal Institution of
Great Britain, G. FL Darwin of Cam
bridge, and others in greater or smaller
degree of the scheme has been secured.
Mr.. Pearson adds that at least 50
per cent of the scientific observations
made and the data collected are worth
less and no man, however able, could
deduce any result from them at all.
The institution has approved the gem
eral scheme of a project for a magnetic
survey of the North Pacific, although
it has not passed on the details.
Reports have frequently been re-
ceived from mariners regarding un-
usual behavior of the compasses, par
ticuiarly in the region of the Aleutian
islands. Data obtained on the result
of a circular letter sent by the coast
and geodetic survey over the entire
globe. and turned over to the Carnegie
institution regarding the Mount Pelee,
Martinique eruption i'm 1902 show,
first. that the time of the beginning
of that magnetic disturbance was
practically the same around the whole
earth, and second, that any electric
current system capable of producing
the observed phenomena would have
it's seat chiefly outside the earth.
Mt. Wilson Observatory
The report makes extended observa'
tions on the subject OF the solar re-
searches, on which preliminary work
already has begun at Mount Wilson
California. The project for a solar
observatory there has already beer
approved the conclusion being ex'
pressed that Mount Wilson meets in q
very remarkable degree the require
ments of a site for solar observatory

FIGHTING ALL THE TIME
Stores Universally Plundered and
Many of Them Burned

BY Associated Press
LONDON, Jan. 31.--The correspond
ent at Warsaw of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs as follows:
"The street railway service here has
been partly resumed, with soldiers rid
ing before and behind most of the cars.
Few cabs are running. Street fighting
continues. and the mob is growing in
dangerous fashion. There have been
frequent collisions between the people
and the soldiers. Revolutionists at
knives. The principal disturbances to-
day occurred in Noviswait street, a
leading business thoroughfare.
"At II o'clock Sunday night a regi-
ment of infantry marched to this thor
oughfare from Smolna street, when
somebody fired on them, whereupon
the troops were ordered to form a
square and fire from four sides.
"Any criticism of the troops must
be qualified by the fact that they are
fighting under trying conditions, being
constantly exposed to snipers and oc-
casionally stabbed by passers-by. Cen
orally the troops are well behaved, but
sometimes there are eXcesses by indi-
vidual soldiers who have become intoX-
icated. One such soldier killed two
children before his comrades were able
to disarm him.
There have been many sad cases
of wholly innocent people shot acct
dentally as they turned street corners.
There are rumors that hundreds have
been killed in fighting in the suburban
towns, but I have personally investi-
gated every such report and learned
that there has been a comparatively
small death roll.
Fighting was renewed this morning,
troops. l cannot find single shop
unharmed. All have been plundered
and most of them have been burned.
Men and Women Starving
"A mob of desperate and hungry
women tried to thrust soldiers bayo-
nets aside to get into a bakery. The
guard proved good natured and avoided
hurting the women. 1 am accustomed
to the sight of misery, but the haggard,
starving wretchedness of these women
will haunt me to my dying day. The
troops and people had little pitched
battle here before the military rule was
established. Even now the slightest
weakening of the military would result
in an immediate recrudescence of vio-
lence
The situation on the whole has not
improved. The rioters avoid open
conflict, but seize every opportunity to
wreak sly vengeance ON the troops.
Many people are afraid to venture into
the streets. but young women of the
lower and middle classes court danger
in the worst disturbances merely for
the loveof excitement. Food is almost
unprocurable and bread is at famine
prices. The ambulances are busy day
and night. God help Warsaw"

CONTINUED from rsse onel

is that the Salt Lake road is today
the best newly constructed line in the
country. Experience has corrected

Plan for Celebration

With the Salt Lake road now on the
eve of running trains, the public spir-
tied citizens of Los Angeles and Salt
Lake city are beginning to plan for
some kind of a public celebration,
large enough to compare favorably
with the Importance of the official
opening.
Although there has been much COM
ment among the business men in Los
Angeles, Salt Lake City has been the
first to take concerted action.
Yesterday the council of Los Angeles
received a communication from Off
cials of Salt Lake City proposing ?
celebration at the official opening of
the road and a suggestion is made
that there shall be a meeting of the
officials of the two cities to make def
mite arrangements. The letter states
that the Salt Lake officials would be
willing to come to Los Angeles, and
asks that a date be set for their visit.
The letter was placed in the hands
of the finance committee.

Large Force at Work


When the last spike was driven yes.
terday afternoon the construction force
at work numbered 1346 men and 11ot
horses.
Heretofore officials Of the road have
been reticent about giving out state
ment as to the time when they ex.
pected to be able to run trains from
Los Angeles through to Salt Lake city
Yesterday one of the prominent Of
ficials of the road said;
I'VE expect to have freight trains
running about the last of March and
some time in April l believe we shall
be ready to take care of passengers.
Twenty engines. the large'
number of which are for freight ser
vice. are already in Salt Lake city
being set up and some place between
there and Philadelphia there are thirty
one more locomotives consigned to the
Salt Lake road. These locomotives
are of the heavy consolidated type of
the most improved pattern.
1--WE have placed orders with eastern
concerns for 1885 freight cars which are
to be delivered to us during February
and the first Of March.
New Passenger Equipment
During March, also, our passenger
equipment will begin to arrive. Al
the present the orders are for ten
coaches, ten chair cars, eight dining
cars and eight baggage coaches.
Schedules of trains are of course
not yet made out. There is plenty of
time for that, and we shall have to
learn the capabilities of our equip
ment before we can get down to good
running order
"Our trains will run over the Santa
Fe from Daggett to Cotton, distance
of ninety-one miles; from Cotton to
Riverside Junction over the Southern
Pacific road, a distance of six miles,
and from there into the Salt Lake sta
ton at Los Angeles"
"Will the Salt Lake road construct
a line of it's own instead of using those
of the initial lines at these points"
well, hardly know. That may be
done some day, but for the present we
shall use the rails of the Santa Fe and
the Southern Pacific at those points
where we have need of them"
rs there any truth in the rumor that
you will use the Arcade station when
you start your through passenger
service?" he was asked.
mot the least bit of truth in it, he
replied. THE Arcade station is not
large enough now for the trains that
are being run into it. The Salt Lake
will probably build new station of
its own, but / know of no plans for
such at the preesnt time"

said he believed that as the years go by and conditions changed it would be found that a vast acreage could be farmed without water where it is now believed to be needed. He was certain that there were numerous other valleys in the mountains where there would be irrigation by small private capital, in- dividual and neighborhood projects. While the government is doing so much in large way individuals should not neglect the smaller things for they all make magnificent whole and he be- lieved that some day it would be de- monstrated that nearly every acre of Arizona's vast domain would be found valuable for something. The watch word of Arizona must be development and statehood would come in its own due season.
 Representative Wesley L. Jones of Washington was the next speaker ask ed for. Mir Jones' speech was taken down verbatim and it was faultless, multum in parvo. MT. Jones said: Ladies and gentlemen: You know what you want; I'm for it."
 Representative Cooper of Pennsyl- vania said he could not do justice to the duty of acknowledging his gratifi- cation for the treatment himself and friends had received in Arizona. They had been royalty entertained and had seen much that was new and interest ing. The Roosevelt road he said would soon become the great Appian way of the west. But of all that he had seen nothing was more pleasing than the character of the audience assembled before him. Previous to this visit he acknowledged that he had held rather Iof Cta Q | hood and other Arizona interests but now he was better informed on many things and had met the people himself he was willing at all times to tender his services for the welfare of Arizona. l Representative Reeder spoke very entertainingly He said that as he was from Kansas he did not feel like a
 stranger. Kansas being in the center of the nation she is not very far from anybody She is at home everywhere. l He said that he had visited Arizona
 many times on business and when the
 Roosevelt dam is finished he proposes
 to bring his family with him and spend
 a week there. He then spoke of the interest he had always taken in irri-
 Cation. of the natural facilities in this
 country that did not obtain in his own
 state even where it might be as badly l
 be made of these natural facilities. He has favored statehood before and fa-
 vors it more every day.
 Judge Parker of the interior depart
 ment spoke very briefly and mainly
 of the party's hospitable reception, as it was already past the scheduled hour
 for departure. when Governor Kibbey declared the program all over but the good byes.
