PORT ARTHUR CONDITIONS

Toxic. Jan 15.-Noon.-Later reports
from New Chwang indicate that Gen
eral MistchenkO's COssacks. in their re-
cent ralding southwest of Lao Yang.
delDerately invaded neutral territory
and broke the limits of the war zone.
The reported Russian note TO the
powers calling attention to China 5 non
enforcement of neutrality is regarded
here IN some quarters as absurd. II is
felt that China'S weakness and con-
slant failure TO enforce neutrality must
release Japan from obligation to oh
serve restrictions which Russia openly
ignores.
While the extension Of belIigerent
territory is 10 be regretted, it is felt
that Japan must take steps to protect
herself against the repetition of raid
ing expeditions whose success depends
OF the violation of neutral territory.

OPPOSITION Is
FIGHTING HARD
Statehood Bill Not Likely to
Pass the Senate.
MODIFICATION is SUGGESTED
SWAYNE'S IMPEACHMENT IN
THE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The intention
is to keep the statehood bill to the
front in the senate during the present
week with the hope on the part of its
friends that by the end of the present
week they may be able to get vote
or it, Thus far, the opponents of the
measure have held out stubbornIy
against naming day for a vote, and
while they do not say in explicit terms
that it is their intention TO fIibuster
against the passage of the bill, it is
evident that unless a compromise can
be reached for the elimination of
Arizona from the measure they viii
make an effort TO prevent a vote be-
fore the close of the present session.
On this account there is coming to
be more or less discussion Of plans for
the modification of the bill and most
OF the talk gravltates toward the sug-
gestion of Senator Foraker for refer
endum of the votes OF Arizona and
New Mexico on the question of admis-
sion or that suggested by Senator Bard
combining the operation of the bill TO
the creation of the state of Oklahoma
out of the territory of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory and entirely eliminat-
ing Arizona and New Mexico from the
bill. A number Of Republicans have
announced themselves favorable to
either Of these suggestions.
Debate Will Go On.
In the meantime, the debate will go
on Senator Bate, the senior Demo-
cratic member of the committee on
territories. said that a number of Dem
ocratic senators would be prepared by
Monday to take the floor in opposition
to the bill in its present shape. He
would not admit a willingness to ac-
Cept the Foraker or Bard amendments
but said that either of them would be
debated. Other Democrats do not
manifest a disposition 20 hold out so
stift1y and some say frankly that they
would feel literally inclined toward
the union of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory if the bill is confined to those
territories Senator BeVeTidge will bbe
absent from the city during the greater
part of the week and the bill will be
in charge of Senator Nelson MIR. Bever-

Long before the outbreak of the

soil Il the colonies which afterwards
became the United States, that mix
ture Of races which has been and
still is enc Of the most important fea-
lures in our history as a people, At
the time early in the eighteenth cen
tury when the immigrants from Ire
land began first 10 come in numbers
to this country. the race settlements
in our population were still imperfect
ly infused. and for some time the new
Irish strain was clearly distinguish
able from the others There was a
popularity about these immigrants
who came from Ireland to the col.
onies during the eighteenth century
which has never been paralleled in
the case of any other immigrants
whatsoever. In all other cases, since
the very first settlements, the push
ing westward of the frontiers has
been due primarily to the melt of ma.

But the immigrants from Ireland
in the seventeenth century pushed
boldly through the settled districts
and planted themselves as the adj
