ALL GIVE ASSURANCES
OF Statehood but Don't Say How
it will come

The Kansas City oJnrnal's Wash
ington correspondent yesterday
gave the following expressions from
Congressman:
Mr., Ellis of Kansas City said !:
81 have been in common polit-
ical phrase, first, last and all the
time for Oklahoma. 1 have sup
ported the administration pro-
gramme this far because I have not
believed that course to be necessar-
lily antagonistic to the interests of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
people. As soon as l am satisfied
however, that to pursue that pro
gramme further would initiate a.
gainst the interest of these people.
| shall exercise my right of OPP
position. | said to the people OF
these territories last year that ! was
for statehood when they wanted il
and as they wanted it, without any
unreasonable restrictions. That is
my attitude now. ! am ready to
make a fight for this, if fight is
to necessary, but | have been busy
today looking into the situation.
l think ! understand what is going
on, and | donot feel the least bit oi
alarm as to the ultimate outcome.
Statehood will come and it will
come this session. The admins
tration leadership is moved by con-
viction and is in good faith. Okla
homa will be admitted.
MI. Murdock, of Kansas, re-
marked: "You can say to the
readers of the Journal that Okla
homa and Indian Territory are to
be admitted to statehood before
the present session is over" J"
MI. Campbell, MI. Curtis and
Mr.. miller, Of Kansas, used practi-
cally the sene words, their disc!o-
sure being given with every assur-
ance that it was reliable, although
under the seal of secrecy.
About this time Mr.. Shartell, of
Missouri, came along, and on
hearing something aboat statehood
said:
"You can say for me, and | will
be glad TO have you send this that
that Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory will be made a state before
the session is over"

STATEHOOD
is NEARER
COUNT OF NOSES IN HOUSE REVEALS
THE PREcARIoUsNEss OF UN-
Gle JoE's S POSITION
INSURGENTS WAX STRONGER
And may be Able to Shake off
their Shackles

Washington. march, 2o.-State-
hood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory is nearer an accomplished
fact today than at any previous
time this session. A little more
nerve on the part Of Missouri and
Kansas republicans would make it
certainty.
The speakers count of noses to-
day disclosed the fact that he did
not have enough votes in sight to
control the situation when the bill
is reported tomorrow. But Temporal
rialy he is master of the situation.
for he can arbitrarily refer the
bill to the committee on territories.
He probably will have the Necessary
votes when the time comes, for il
is apparent that some Of the repres-
entatives from the west who voted
against the speaker in the republi-
can conference are convinced that
this vote will satisfy the demands
of their constituency.
The insurgents still hold fast and
every day there are additions to
their ranks. Every conceivable ex-
cuse is offered by the representa-
tives for supporting the speaker 5
organization. They talk about the
interests Of the republican party,
and the president, the necessity for
taging stand against the dominat-
ing senate and whisper it about
that they have assurance Congress
will not be permitted 10 adjourn
without statehood legislation.
II IS impossible in Washington
to tell whether the constituents Of
the Missourians and Kansaus are
going to be fooled BY any such
buncombe. But the letters and tele-
grams which continue to pour in
from every state in the Union indi-
cate that the public is pretty thor
onghly informed. Should the bill go
to conference and statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
finally result there will be chorus
from republican congressman who
haxe declined to do what their
constituents have requested that
they knew it all the time.
1t will be most diverting to hear
these representatives on the stump
tell their audiences how they laid
down the law to the speaker and
had thorough understanding with
the president. Nobody in Washing
ton is fooled by this presentation.
If the statehood fight is won it
will be won by the men who have
oone the fighting. The representa-
tives who have permitted the speak
er to vote them in every statehood
contest have only made the state
hood fight harder TO whit is sole
ly because the speaker fears he
will be unable to hold the house or
ganization intact and fears the re-
suit in the next congressional cleo
tion that statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian territory is a probable
outcome Of this congressional ses-
sion. The assertion that the rail-
road rate bill may be jeopardized
by the admission of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory to statehood is
too preposterous to be urged in
Washington. 1t will be presented.
however, as an explanation to
at home.

His Best


a letter from Jno. H. Stephens, Of

Rev. L. B. Grogan,
Dear Sir;
Your letter
to hand relative to the statehood
bill | beg to advise you that I will
do all in my power toget the House
to accept the Senate amendment to
the statehood bill, and let the meas
ure become law as soon as posi-
Bile. The Democratic party is anx-
ious that Oklahoma and Indian
Territory shonld have statehood,
but that cannot permit Arizona and
New Mexico to be joined together.
I think the speaker Of the houes
will finally yield and statehood
granted you.
Very respectfully,
John H. Stephens.

SO far as can be estimated the

NEW DOMINICAN TREATY.
Features to Which the Senate Object
ed Will Be Eliminated.

A new treaty with Santo Domingo prob
ably will be negotiated. By the proposed
new agreement the feature of the treaty
previously negotiated which failed of rati-
fication by the United States Senate, very
likely will be eliminated BY the terms of
the proposed convention the United States
will not act as the fiscal agent of Santo
Domingo in full capacity; that is, it will
not act paymaster of Santo Domingo in
the liquidation of that country's indebted
ness.
The bond issue plan suggested by Fred
erico VelasqueZ, the minister of foreign
affairs and commerce of Santo Domingo.
meets with the approval of the officials of
the State Department Out of that will
grow the negotiations for the new treaty.
Under the proposed convention the United
States will continue to collect the customs
revenues of the island republic. and out of
these revenues create a sinking fund for
the liquidation of foreign Indebtedness of
Santo Domingo. BY the convention Santo
Domingo will obligate itself to this country
to use a specified proportion of the GUS
toms receipts for the payment of its in
debtedness, but the United States will not
act as paymaster. 1t is believed that the
elimination of one or two of the features
IN the former treaty to which the Senate
objected will result in the ratification of the
proposed convention when it is submitted
to the Senate after its negotiation.
