STATEHOOD TOTE SOON.
Nothing To Be Gained by Delay or
Speeches, Senators Feel.
From The Tribune Rursau.l

Washington. Feb. 20.-It is expected that a
vote viii be taken in the Senate on the State
hood bill within ten days two weeks Con-
sideration of the bill will be resumed Thurs
day. when Senator Beverage. in charge of the
measure will ask for a vote within the time
specified. Inquiry to-day indicated that there
would be no serious opposition the request
AS one of the Senators opposed TO the pending
bill expressed IT:
The speeches TO be made will not change the
mind of any one in the Senate. and might as
other
Senator Beveridge to-day declared confidence
in the passage Of the House bill proposing joint
Statehood for Arizona and New-MexicO. al
though he admitted that the vote might be
close. The opponents of joint Statehood
equally confident that amendment will be
adopted permitting the residents of Arizona and
New-Mexic to vote the question, and re-
curing majority vote of the residents of both
Territories to carry it.
Both sides are carefully concealing their polls
of the Senate. 1t is considered unlikely that a
thorough and accurate poll OF the body has been
made Inspection would probably show that
each list contains a number of names of
Senators classed as doubtful" probably
with us"
mentioned it is said to be practically certain that
the House would concur 1t is recalled that the
Statehood bill was damned through the House
under the utmost pressure Of party discipline
and against the will of many Republicans who
voted with the organization although opposed 70
the bill. II is pointed out now that there Will
he no such exigency Of party discipline if the
bill comes back from the Senate with the
amendments. The House organization Won its
victory. established its power and probably
would not TO go into another fight of the
same kind Moreover, the Statehood insurgents
would probably be more numerous by the time
the bill got back to the House.
If the Senate amended the bill in the manner
described, it would still provide for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma and Indian Territory That
is the main consideration to q large number of
men in the House, the immediate fate Of Arr
iona and New-Mexico is secondary with them.
They would be confronted with the possibility of
all legislation failing by deadlock with the
Senate and that is a possibility which Repre-
sentatives from the Middle West would dislike
10 contemplate, il is said In the last fight there
were two insurgents from Kansas, but IT is prob
able that with the prospect of keeping out Ok
lahorna and Indian Territory if the bill failed.
there would be eight insurgents. and that the
same situation would be duplicated in other
Western delegations.

Washington, Feb. 2o-By unanimous vote the
House Committee on Interstate and Foreign

report on the Tillman resolution as amended by

tives Hepburn, Of Iowa. Townsend, Of Michigan.

the resolution provides for the investigation by

The compromise measure is a combination Of
the Tillmsn, Gillespie and Campbell resolutions.
il retains the number and title Of the Tnlman
resolution but narrows il by striking out the
proposed investigation Of monopolies and dis
examinations in all products hauled by RAILWAYS
The measure is broader than the Gillespie reso-
tuition, in that il includes al coal while the
Gillespie resolution related only 70 bituminous
coal; and II practically includes the Campbell

there were no ballots until 8 o'clock. and
they had TO go on to their business places. II Is
estimated here tonight that the Jenkinson peo-
pie lost not less than 100000 IN the disastrous

in the campaign, and not less than this was
wagered on Jenkinson winning.

worked from dawn until dusk. They kept sew

success of Logan and running automobiles in
search OF voters. but they could not pull Logan
through. Kirschler was too strong.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
James Quinn.

The funeral services of James Quinn,
the foreman of the blacksmith shop of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, who
died at st. Vincent's hospital Tuesday
from injuries received in the yards, took
place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock
in St. Pauls Catholic church, with Father
Bradford officiating. Interment took place
in Oak Hill cemetery.
Mr.. Quinn was crossing the tracks at
sixteenth street on mis- way to his home
when he was struck by an engine and
knocked down, both legs being severed
from the body One train had just passed
when the unfortunate victim stepped on
the track OF a train approaching from the
other direction.
The deceased was one of the most
valued men in the employ of the COM
pany, having been identified with the road
for the past twenty years. His fellow
worl1men are deeply grieved over the
untimely death, as they are deprived of a
patient, energetic leader, who had won
the hearts of mis- men and his employers.
Mr.. Quinn was 50 years of age, and had
resided in Powderly most of his life. He
was a member of the Catholic church and
a layman of good standing. A widow and
two children and host of friends are left
TO mourn his loss
