WILL DIE BY SLOW STAGES.
Statehood BIIl fO Be Hammered Out of
 shape by Amendments.
Washington Special.

Washington Special.
 This week will witness the wrecking in the Senate of another of the Presi- dents pet legislative measures-the Statehood bill. It will not be defeated outright, as was the Philippine tariff bill, but will be hammered out of shape by amendments that will encompass its death by slow stages.
 Statehood will hold the attention of the Senate. with brief lapses for rou- tine measures and rate speeches until the question of admitting into the Union the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico as one State. and Okla homa and Indian Territory as another State.

Speaker Cannon risked too much when he put down the insurrection among the friends of single statehood. merely to accept the managing Foraker amend ment; His friends declare that if the Statehood bill comes to the House with this change 1t will be killed by orders of the Speaker.
 Senator Beveridge is about the only member of the Senate who believes that the bill will be adopted by the Senate without material change. He Is to make a great speech on the bill on Friday before the vote is taken. There Is a disposition among certain Repub- the President for the remarkably bad treatment which Is being accorded to the various legislative measures winch the administration has sought to put thTOugh
