Adoption Of the Conference
Report.

Washington. June Senator
Foraker is trying to have the state
aood bin as reported from the con-
ference called up in the senate for
action. but the absence Of Seuator
Beveridge has stood ia the way 50
far. Senator Foraker feels conf
dent that he can beat tie measure
as matters stand in the senate al
the present time, but with the ap-
preaching adjournment OF congress
senators are beginning TO show a
desire to escape the Washington
warm weather. and several Of its
supporters may be among the alb
sent ones when the bill is finally
called up. The desire Of the house
leaders is to delay action.
With this in view some rich an.
ecdotes are going the rounds illus
trating Reveridee's indisposition to
attend the sessions Of the senate
and his alacrity in attending din
ner engagements. Night before
last Senator Foraker called at MS
apartments and found the rooms
vacant. A few minutes later Bev-
eridge came in from a stroll. walk
ing with buoyant step and alto
gether as clipper as a sparrow,
but at sight of Foraker his face
suddenly assumed an agonized ex-
preston and in pitifull voice he
related to his associate how misera-
bic he was feeling.
Foraker spent some time with
him to cheer him up; and did not
leave until Beverage was too late
to attend a dinner engagement
which he was TO be tie guest of
honor.
The house leaders and their
friends in the senate hope 10 delay
action long enough to have Fora.

ity and then pass the bill with pro-
vision sor joint statehood for Ari-
zona aud New Mexico. Should
this proposition be defeated it isl
expected that the senate will ap.
point new conferees and send the
bill back to conference with Ari-
zona and New Mexico eliminated,
and it is believed that the house
will then reeede from its position,
fearing that otherwise statehood
for Oklahoma will come into the
house as a rider to the sundry civil
bill.
