OMNIBUS STATEHOOD MEASURE
AWAITS A NOD FROM CANNON

Washington, Jan. 10. - The
speaker has most of the recalci-
trants seated upon stools 1T re-
pentance. The rebellion against
the absolutism of the Committee
on Rules is virtually at an end.
At the utmost, there are probably
not more than twenty five who
still proclaim their opposition to
the omnibus statehood bill and
the PHILIPPINE tariff bill. The reb
els, thefore. became discouraged.
and thus easily susceptible to the
speakers arguments. The adop-
ton of the rule which will be
brought in with the statehood
bill is almost assured, and, con-
sequently the passage of the bill
itself. The senate may, and
probably will, amend it so as to
exclude New Mexico and Arizona
from its provisions. Then the
opponents of the omnibus bill will
be able to work more effectively.
The introduction of the bill
awaits the psychological moment,
which is apt to come this week.
The psychological moment will
be that when the republican whip
shall have all the bills support
ers in the house. Some think it
may be today, but what seems to
be the better opinion is that a
day or two will be allowed the in
surgents to recover from the hu.
mility of defeat.
The bill is quite ready. Its
presentation merely awaits nod
from the speaker. AS finally
agreed 20 by the committee the
measure does not differ notably
from the measure introduced by
Chairman Hamilton, except in
that it provides as a condition of
statehood, that the sale of liquor

Washington, Jan. 10.-Speaker
Cannon's effort to win the insur-
gents over to the Hamilton joint
statehood bill have met with little
success, apparently, and the joint
statehood proposition is still
shrouded in uncertainty. The
insurgents claim fifty eight votes
the number which, coupled with
the solid democratic vote, will
force a consideration of the
amendments to the Hamilton bill.
Two or three republicans are
reported to have been won over
to the administration measure
through Speaker Cannon, but the
weakening in the opposition is so
slight that until further changes
are brought about the bill will
not be taken up before the house.
The speaker is still firm in his
purpose to have the bill and no
other statehood proposition laid
before the house as the admin
istration measure.
All sorts of compromises have
been suggested by the insurgents,
but have met with no favor at
the hands of the supporters of
joint statehood.
