drawing $4,000 annually from the Clo-
yer Leaf route is an admission made
during the day by Theodore P. Shonts.
chairman OF the 1sthmian canal com
mission, which may have an important
bearing on the canal investigation.
Mr.. Shonts was called by the SEN
ate lnteroceanic canal commission to
make a general statement of all mat
ters over which he exercises control.
He was asked to state his former en-
%ployr1enr. He said that he had been
president of the Glover Leaf route.
After giving the mileage of that road
and some other general information il
was brought out that he still receives
$4,000 a year and continues to hold
the title OF president. He says that
he does mot give any time to the man
agement of the road, but thai reports
are sent to him and frequently Off
Gals Of the road come to Washington
to consult him.
After getting into the record the
fact that M. Shonts receives $50, 900
a year from the United States, the
chairman of the commission was al
lowed to proceed. 1t was stated by
members of the committee, however.

PASSED BY THE HOUSE
JOINT STATEHOOD BILL GOES
THROUGH BY A MAJORITY
OF FoRTY-FoUR.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The house
passed the statehood bill according to
schedule. The Republican opposition
to the measure spent its entire force
Wednesday and no effort was made to
defeat the bill on its final passage, but
SO of the "insurgents' voted against
the measure. The bill passed by the
vote of 1874 to $50.
The debate which preceded this vote
began at II o'clock and was practical
ly featureless so far as any hope was
entertained of changing the measure
in the slightest degree. The advo-
Gates of the measure placed in the
record through the medium Of several
speeches, the arguments upon which
the joint statehood policy is founded.
Zona and New Mexico, which en-
braced the entire opposition to the
bill, produced their reasons for the rec
ord. Several Of the "insurgents'
made plain the ground of their oppo-
sition.
The bill as passed provides that
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
shall constitute one state under the
name "Oklahoma," and that Arizona
and New Mexico shall constitute one
state under the name "Arizona."
Should the terms of admission be rati-
fed by the residents of the territories
in question, their respective state con
titutions must contain clauses pro.
hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors
and plural marriages.
