BILL FOR ONE NEW STATE
visions Relating to ArIzOna
and New Mexico.

Washington, D. Con Friday
5:35 p. m. the senate passed a bill for
the admission Of a new state to be
called Oklahoma and to be composed
Of the territory Of Oklahoma and In
dian territory. It was the house joint
statehood bill with all the provisions
relating to Arizona and New Mexico
stricken out. The motion to striks out
was made by Mr. Burrows, and it was
carried by the close vote Of 81 to 95,
after having been lost by the still
closer vote of 35 to SO.
The vote on statehood came as the
climax of a day devoted exclusively to
that bill. Most of the time was given
to discussion, but the voting on the bill
and amendments consumed an hour
and half. The speech making excited
comparatively little interest, but there
was pronounced excitement throughout
the voting period, and it eliminated
when the success Of the motion to
eliminate Arizona and New Mexico
was announced after the second vote
on that proposition.
The test vote, upon which the OPP
ponents of joint statehood showed their
greatest strength, was on the For
aker amendment, which provided
that Arizona and New Mexico
should have an opportunity to vote
separately on the proposition Of joint
statehood. This was carried by a vote
of AZ to 20.

far as have been able to observe, the
reported disturbances In China have
been grossly exaggerated, and condi-
lions are not nearly so alarming as one
would be led to suppose from reports
that have been published throughout
the western world.
THAT there have been disturbances
Is quite true, but l do not think they
menace the peace of China and the
United States or any other nation.
"The feeling against the Americans
In China does not exceed that enter
tanned toward all other foreigners, and
as understand the situation the entire
anti-foreign feeling is due In a large
measure to the exploitation Of business
enterprises which the Chinese feel
should be controlled by their own peo-
pie. There is feeling against those
who have in various ways obtained,
through scheming and corrupt officials,
franchises and concessions.
Aside from this chief source Of an
ti-foreign feeling, the troubles in China
are due to the presence Of mission
aries. l was assured by very prom
inent Chinese that the Chinese people
do not at all like the presence Of for
eign missionaries. They resent the ef-
