TO
STATEHOOD BILL
Senator Foraker Presents the Only
Just Solution to the Much-De-
bated Question.
TOM PATTERSON B0BS UP
HOUSE PASSES cRlST OF PEN
SION BILLS.

Washington, Feb. 9.--At the begin
ming Of today's session Of the senate
Mr. Foraker presented an amendment
to the statehood bill directing the
rethod of proceeding in Arizona ana
New Mexico on the question or ao-
mission. 1t directs that within thirty
days after the approval Of the state
hool bill the governors Of the two ter
ritories shall respectively cali elections
for submitting the question OF state
hood Voters of the two proposed
states shall vote separately, and the
union shall not be contaminated until
a majority of the votes in each terri
tory are cast in the affirmative.
The urgent deficiency apprOpria-
ton bill was laid before the senate and
debated at length.
Patterson's Amendment.
Mr.. Patterson moved to strike out Of
the deficiency bill the provision abro-
eating the eight-hOur law upon the
canal zone. He argued that the pro-
vision was adverse to Americans as
well as aliens.
Mr. Money opposed the Patterson
amendment. What it all means in
plain, brutal English is that there is
being prepared on the isthmus a
slaughter house for aliens and that
the canal is to be built at a fearful
cost not only of money but of life, .
responded Mr.. Patterson, persisting in
pressing the amendment upon the
senate.
Mr.. GaIinger called attention to the
statement Of the canal officials that
sanitary conditions on the isthmus
were much improved, and Mr.. .Patter-
son replied that these statements did
not correspond with the testimony
given by senators.
TiItnan Takes Issue.
Mr.. Tillman also took issue with Mr..
Patterson, saying that when the Col
orado senator makes an appeal for
alien. labor he would better look a
little closer home and consider the
An erican 1aborer, who in the end
must pay for building the canal"
Mr.. Patterson withdrew the amend
ment he had offered, and offered an
other fixing the limit of q days labor
on canal work at ten hours instead of
eight. The amendment was lost.
Mr.. Tillman expressed disSatisfac-
faction with the relationship between
the canal commission and the Panama
Railroad company, and said he hoped
the canal commission would find
means Of Unifying the canal and the
read.
Mr.. Hale agreed with the statement
made by Mr.. TfIlman as to the desira-
bility of doing away with the dual
arrangement. The bill was then
passed and, at sos p. III. the senate
went into executive session and at
S:15 adjourned until Monday.

We'll posted persons express fear that
the French citizens in Venezuela will be
IN great danger if war breaks out. Pres

the inhabitants of the country are at his

1T is reported at Caracas that the
American minister. Mr.. Russell, is PEE

siding Of the United States with France,
and that he may be given his passports.
Matters are nearing climax President
Castro will compel obedience to his will.
