There is compromise in the
air on the statehood bill. The
measure has not yet come out Of
conference, but there is little
doubt that when it does there
will be provision in the meas
ure for referendum vote in
New Mexico and Arizona on the
question OF joint statehood, and
this will be enough to- kill the
meas ure so far as those two ter
ritories are concerned. There
will also be some concessions on
the liquor question in the Okla,

all it's aspects will be such that
Mr.. Hamilton will hardly recog-
nize it as his offspring. Besides
the amendments indicated, there
will be other senate amendments

Though the peculiar nomenclature
Whistler adopted for the output of his

in favor of such nomenclature by those

The passage through the COM
mittee of the Naval appropriation
bill is a subject of great rejoic-
ing in the navy department. 1t
not only assures the carrying
out of the naval program for the
next year, but it provides for a
battleship that certainly will be
the equal, possibly the superior
of the English leviathan just
u n b e d, the Dreadnaught.
The appropriation for the hull
alone of the new battleship will
be Sc, 100000 and this with the
cost of armour and ornaments
will bring it we'll up to $4,000,
900. The displacement of the
new ship will push 10000 tons
and there will be abundant room
for the full offensive armament
of IL inch guns that the exper
fence both of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and the Russo-Jap war
proved to be the most effective.
Aside from this main battery,
the vessel will carry nothing but
light guns for repelling torpedo
boat attacks. This will be en-
tirely new departure in Ameri-
can naval architecture, but it is
thought that if the Dreadnaught
proves a success this country
ought to have at least one battle.

The president has sent spec.
ial message to the senate on the
subject of the preservation OF
Niagara Falls. This is a matter
that has engaged the attention
both of this and Canadian gov
eminent for some time past.
Taking out water power from the
falls at first was not q serious
matter, but the power was found
to be so cheap and so effective
that it has now reached a point
where lis to be decided whether
the falls shall be allowed to re-
main one of the greatest scenic
wonders of the world, or whether
the beauties of Niagara shall be
turned into breakfast food for
the people OF the United States
or be diverted to the running of
trolley lines, lighting plants and
electric furnaces. TLepresident
says in his message that he sin
cerely hopes Congress will pass
a restraining law in accord with
the recommendations of the In
ternational Waterways Commits
sion that will give at least three
years for consideration, and for
cooperation with Canada on a
permanent regulation that will
insure the preservation of the
falls for all time.

CANDIDATES should not forget
that statements OF election ex-
penses must be filed with their
town clerks, and duplicates with
the register Of deeos. The
blanks for making these state
monts will be furnished by the
town and city clerks. The town
and city clerks are required to
transmit the names of those not
fling such statements to the
county clerk within ninety days
after elC ction. This official must
then publish the names and the
District Attorney must begin
prosecutions. If candidates
spent nothing than the state
ment must so indicate. But it
must be filed.

Notes From Washington

From Our Regular Correspondent.
All the oratory possible under
the circum stances is being ex
pended. one is almost tempted
to say being wasted, on the rate
bill in the senate. Only one
thing seems clear and that is a
bill will be shortly passed with a
provision in it for court review.
That much the merest novice
can see. Further than that the
most astute might hesitate to go.
Senators Knox, Spooner and
Tillman have locked horns on
the floor and the only thing that
seems certain through the. haze
of the melee is that TilIman has
sustained his previous reputa-
ton as a fighter and that the
bill will be passed sometime
with some sort of a review
amendment attached. It is GER
tain that any provision for court
review will be a point gained in
favor of the, railroad. for they
have fought strenuously for this
prOyisiOn ever since they found
that it was inevitable that a bill
of some sort should be passed.
The only question that remains
in framing the amendment will
be to make it so that the rail
roads with their superior CAPT
tai and superior legal talent will
not be able to wear out the small
shipper in useless litigation and
so render the whole bill of non
effect.
Chairman Shonts of the 18th
main Canal Commission has ole

conditions on the railroad there

will be of value in Washington.

THE spring election of 1906

good run against Mr.. Nelson,
