SURE TO GET
STATEHOOD
NO CONDITION CAN ARISE TAAT
WILL DEFEAT THE BILL THIS
SESSION
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER
The Bill Will go to Conference
next Wednesday

Washington, March I8.-The
belief is general here that the state
hood bill will 60 to a conference, as
Speaker Cannon desires, and that
no condition can now arise which
will cause statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory to be defeated
at this session. The object of the
conference is more for the purpose
of correcting some amendments the
seuate put on the bill which the
house thinks should be corrected.
One of these senate amendments
threatens the school land funds of
Oklahoma. President Roosevelt is
standing with Speaker Cannon for
the correction of the senate bill.
The insurgents are quieting be-
cause of their belief that there is
no intention of keeping out Okla
homa this session.
Some action will probably be
taken next Wednesday. Mr.
Hamilton. chairman of the COM
mittee on territories, will ask unani-
nous consent to send the bill 10 a
conference. If this fails, vote to
send the bill to conference will fol-
low. There is no doubt that a
majority Of the house will follow
the speaker and the president, and
that the bill will go to conference.
The reports that the object is to
let the bill die in committee or in
conference are not we'll founded.
The house and senate will clash SO
far as New Mexico and Arizona are
concerned, but all believe will fna-
ly agree in conference to let Okla
homa and Indian Territory in as
one state. Oklahoma and Indian
Territory men here are feeling good
over the prospect that they will
win no matter how the Arizona
New Mexico end of the fight re-
suits.

Of us. 1t was in dance hall IS by

we supposed before buying tickets.
Europe is great place to get less
than your moneys worth. On eth
er side of the hall were cheap chairs
facing the central aisle, 8 rows on
each side leaving an aisle about II
feet wide.
On little stage at the farther
end were several senCrita ranging
from II to IS years old. The seno-
ritas are famous for beauty and ag-
ility and for their bewitching way
Of using fan and fascinator as we'll
as ribbons and brilliantly colored
dresses and the use Of cancanets.
A Spaniard with pirate face
clad in the brilliant garb Of cham
pion bull fighter, glittering in gor-
geous splendor was chasing up
and down the aisle like a nervous
woman who had lost pet poodle.
Occasionally another Senoria would
emerge in brilliant plumage from a
side door and come tripping and
courtesying down the aisle in ans
wer 10 American appanlse.
Presently piano started dane.

|Senoritas came tripping from the
stage to the central aisle and scat
tered up and down and danced to
the music of piano and cascanets
in the bewildering mazes known
only to the Ssnoaitas. Several were
very pretty, all were grace person
ihed and all their figures were in
perfect time.
The gaudily dressed bull fighter
and boy in evening dress joined
in some Of the dances. The gorge

were used most charmingIy with
the artistic pose and airy grace
known only to the Spanish Senorita

es. Later in the evening little girl
closed figure by giving a hand

the front row who blushingly pock-
eted II. Several others made similar
presents none Of which cSme my

who knew Spanish customs, went
10 the favored boys and demanded
good round pricesfor the souveueirs
or the goods back. Then we rem
embered there is also in Mexico a
custom to the effect that if you.
