 Towards the close of the debate, Mfr. Beveridge and Afr. Foraker engaged nj a sharp colloquy over the number and contents of telegrams received by them respectively. Among the mes sages read by the Ohio Senator was one saying that MT. Beveridge had wired to Arizona asking that the tele- grams be sent him. Mir. Beveridge in reply spoke of Delegate Smith, of Arl- zona. as Mr. Foraker's Democratic helper"
 asked Mir. Foraker.
 "why should the wicked flee when no man pursues2" respo 1ded Mir. Bever- idge. He repeated the declaration that he had not made an appeal for testt~ moniais from Arizona.
 Mir. Dick spoke for the bill and Mir. Clark (Mont. ) against it. and MT. Bev- eridge closed the debate in advocacy of the measure.
 fell at the end of MT. Beveridge's final appeal for the bill, the voting was be- gun. The amendments suggested by the committee were first read and to them no objection was made until the proposition to increase from $100,000 to $150,000 the appropriation for defray- ing the expenses of preliminary eiec- tions tc be held In the proposed State of Oklahoma. The amendment was lost by a vote of 31 to 40.
 The increase of the election appro- priation for Arizona from $15o,000 to $175,000 also was disagreed to.
 First Test Vote.
 The first test vote came on these money propositions and the opponents of joint statehood scored a victory. The object of striking out the increase was to avert tho necessity of having the bill sent to a committee when returned to the House of Representatives.
 Under the rules of the House. any bill amended by the Sentae carrying in- creased expenditure must be referred to a committee and considered in conn mittee of the whole. Tho opponents of joint statehood desired to afford an op- portunity for a motion to concur in the amendments without such reference.
 As soon as the committee amend ments were disposed of, Mir. Foraker formally offered his amendment provid- ing for separate vote on joint state hood. The vote was immediately taken and the amendments carried by the de- cisive vote of 42 to 29. as follows:

 The pairs were as follows: Aldrich with Berry; Elkins with Bailey; Bur kett with McLaurin; Clark of Arkansas with Overman; Depew with McEnery; Frye with German; Kittredge with Platt; Warren with Money.
 Accepted by Committee.
 A number of minor amendments re- Iating to the land laws. terms Of courts. etc, were accepted by the committee and the senate Several additions strengthening the prohibition provis- ions were also made, all of them be- ing confined to Indian Territory, or former or present Indian reservations.
 Mir. Duboiss amendment relative to polygamy in the proposed State of Arizona was then offered. He asked for the ayes and noes. but a formal vote was prevented by the committee accepting the provision. It was, there fore, incorporated in the bill.
 The next formal vote was taken on MT. Rurrows's motion to strike out all the parts of the bill relating to Arizoia and New Mexico. The roll call resulted in the loss of the motion by the narrow margin of one vote, S5 yeas to S4 nays.
 Mir. Burrows gave notice that he would renew the amendment when the bill was reported to the Senate.
 Go motion of MT. Teller. the provls- ion continuing Guthrie as the capital of the proposed State of Oklahoma until 1915 was stricken out by the vote of 39 to 31. The effect of the amendment Is to keep the capital at that city only temporarily.
 The proceedings up to this time had been in committee of the whole.
 When the bill was reported to the senate, Mir. Burrows renewed his motion to strike out the part of the bill relating to Arizona and New Mexico and this time 1t prevailed by the vote of 37 to 35 as follows:
