STATEHOOD BILL HUNG UP
NO HOPE FOR COMPROMISE

consideration of the Hamilton
bill is out of the question.
The administration is still firm
in insisting on the passage of
tho joint statehood bill without
modification. Compromise meas
ures are no longer under consid-
Grafton by the insurgents, and
statehood legislation seems at a
deadlock at present.
AS to the statehood bill, it is
not apt to be passed soon. State
hood will not be given to Arizona
and New Mexico at THE session
unless the House should be
whipped into doing so Then
the Senate will refuse and Okla
homa and Indian Territory will
get the boon they ask for after q
fight. Few men believe that the
Republicans have the effrontery
to withhold it longer, but if they
should have, the friends of these
Territories in the Senate will un-
doubtedly resort to desperate
measures, such, for example, as
tacking a statehood rider onto an
bill.
1t will occasion no surprise
among the initiated if the Senate
committee should report a bill
providing statehood for Okla
homa and Indian Territory and
leaving the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico TO decision of
the people of these territories.

From Mondays Daily.
Dispatches from Washington
today show the statehood bill to
be hung up. The insurgents and
the administration are still fight
ing each other and there is no
telling the outcome.
There are rumors of a COM
promise, but no understanding
has been reached. While the
feeling is growing better, yet
there is but little hope Of an
agreement.
The insurgents claim there is
no sign of weakening and ex-
press confidence of success,
while Speaker Cannon feels cer-
tain that the insurgents will yet
come across. Nfe
There is a doubt as to whether
the insurgents have enough
votes to defeat the rulo which is
prepared to defeat the amend

contended the insurgents will
