ACTION OF THE SENATE
ON PROMPT ADOPTION
OF THE TILLMAN RESOLUTION.

There was considerable comment at the
Senate today in regard to the promptneSs
with which the Senate yesterday after
noon disposed of the TiIlman resolution tor
an investigation of railroads, with special
reference to the conditions that exist IN
West Virginia.
1t is pointed out that although this reso-
luton bears the name of Senator Tfllman. 1t
was properly committee resolution,
framed in the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce. and reported from that
committee to the Senate after discussion
OF about an hour in the morning. It'Is
said that the governor of West Virginia,
having sent his letter in relation to cond!
tons in West Virginia to Senator Tiilman,
In order to- avoid any embarrassing condt-
ton by sending 1t to a West Virginia sena-
tor. the committee took the view that In re-
porting the resolution 1t should be sent IN
by Mr. Tillman.
1t Is said that the committee was unani-
nous In this action. and the chairman.
Senator Elkins, was prompt IN favoring a
favorable report on the resolution to the
Senate. 1t is also pointed out that more
drastic resolution of investigation has sell
dom been adopted by the Senate. Senator's
who are members OF the committee on in
terstate commerce think that this action of
the committee, taken SO promptly and so
positively, Is in itself sufficient evidence to
dispel the talk that is frequently INDUCED
In to the effect that that committee has
been unduly slow in dealing with the great
railway corporations of the country.
The fact that the Senate itself passed
this sweeping and drastic resolution so
readily is also regarded by senators as
being further denial that the Senate itself
is at all slow in pushing to conclusion a
measure Of that kind when 1t Is satisfied
that 1t has taken the right course.
These same senators declare that legisla-
tion for the further regulation of railroad
rates will be dealt with as effectively and
as promptly as was this resolution Of inves-
tigation as soon as such legislation is de-
cided upon. That. they expect, will be done
within few days, so far the committee
Is concerned and that action will be taken
by the Senate as promptly as possible con-
sistent with the right Of senators to speak
upon this bill in the open Senate.

from congressional delegations passing
through the territory that II they attempt
ed to be admitted as a separate state hey
would be Joined to New Mexico and to-
gether would be admitted as the state OF
Arizona.
There Is no question that the majority
OF tho people In Arizona favor statehood.
They, OF course. favor separate statehood.
but the sentiment among the people OF Ari-
coma today. in my Judgment. Is that they
prefer Joint statehood to no statehood.
Quite number of people look at 1t from
business standpoint / arm OF the oponion
that II the proposition were submitted to
the people of Arizona either sfngly or joint
ly under certain conditions. viz. that Ari-
xona should have the Joint capital, Phenix,
with the capital OF New Mexico at Santa
Fe. that the majority OF the people Of Ari-
IONA would favor Joint statehood. do
not believe the mining or railroad interests
are in favor Of any kind Of statehood. and
that whenever and wherever they can de-
feat separate or joint statehood they viii
do so. That. II Arizona were left to her.

who own mines and railroads in the terri
tory. the people would certainly arrive at q
nearly unanimous agreement for joint
statehood. Nfnety-eight per cent would
favor It."

ing the method of procedure for hazing at
the Naval Academy and gave notice that
he would ask the Senate TO take 1t up Tor
consideration at an early day.

lection was made.
Discussing the Shipping Bill.
The shipping bill was laid before the Sen
ate and Mr. Gallinger suggested number
of amendments The Senate then FOUND IL
self in a somewhat awkward predicament.
The agreement relative to the vote on the
bill required that the entire time Tuesday
and Wednesday be given to its conslueFa-
ton but no one appeared ready to proceed.
A lull followed and Mr.. Gallinger was ABOUT
TO move that the bill be laid aside when
Mr. Culbcrson came to the rescue with
letter from a Galveston constituent who
owns some ships. He opposed the proposeu
subsidy for vessels engaged in the CUBAN
trade from gulf ports.
Mr. Spooner admitted that the Dill was
the best shipping bill that had been brought
10 the attention of the Senate in recent
years, but said that 1t did not fully com
mend itself to him. He then pointed on.
some of the features which he considered
to he defects. He made especial objection
to the provision for naval reserve
He contended that the grievances or san
ors had not been given sufficient consldera-
ton in the bill, and said that he would have
a larger percentage of Americans on snip
board.
"If there had been a decent number Of
good men on the General Slocum there
would have been little loss of life, If any,
he declared. and he added that no ship
ought TO be permitted to leave port without
a sufficient number of experienced seamen
aboa I'd.
Mr. Gallinger replied that the bill was
not intended as a panacea for all Ills.
