Effects All the Same.

I NIr Bailey remarked that they are not
peculiar in being wild when drunk He
predicted that the vote Of the two terri
tories would be for statehood. because
they would not be able to resist the
bride of S5.000000 given by the bill to the
proposed state of Arizona
Mr.. Morgan declared that the bill has
been from the beginning Republican
measure, and said the effect would be TO
advance the interests Of that party In
this connection he spoke Of the varying
size Of the states. and, comparing Rhode
Island to New York. said it was more
ma jestic because its two senators were
present IN the senate while New York 5
F senators were not. He predicted that
such legislation as this would be resorted
. to until a twO-thiTds Republican major
ity IS assured. and said that such Dos
session of power was liable to result in
the expulsion Of any senator who would
dare to express his sentiments 4 would
not impUte that desire to senators on the
other side" he said. but 7 confess

While expressing the opinion that the
results would inuTc to the interest Of the
small eastern states Senator Stone eX-
pressed his Willingness to accept the re-
port as q final settlement of the question
Senator MCCumbeT. who has from the
first objected to joint statehood for Ok
lahoma and Indian territory indicated his
intention not 10 surrender because he
believed that each territory possesses sll
the qualities necessary to a good state.
He did not agree that the consolidation
Of the territories had been engineered by
the Republican party, but he believed with
Mr.. Money that it had been Influenced
by sectiOnalism, the prejudice on the part
Of the old state against giving more
power to new states.
Senator Dubois found fault with the
report as applied to Arizona. He de
clared that there are many pOlygamiStS
living I'm that territory. and that once
Arizona IS admitted to statehood the Nor
mon hierarchy would control politics. He
then said. "T know what this state
mCnt means to me; IT means the end of
my political career. 7 have given no
quarter and have asked none. I enjoy
the life and duties here, and ] would
have had a continuous service in the SEN

rarchy. and 7 know that no man can now
be elected to the senate from Utah Idaho
or Wyoming who antagOnzes the HE
rarchy. 7 warn the senate that IL is

The report was then, at $40 p. m,
adopted without division.
BY the terms of the conference report
on the statehood bill adopted by the SEN
ate today, Indian territory and Oklahoma
are to be admitted to the union as one
