OonfrOn ing Them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Sl.--The house OF
representatives will settle down to work as
soon as it meets on Thursday, and possibly
before the end of the week it viii pass tho
bill providing for the admission of two new
states
The first thing to dispose of is the refer
ence of the presidents message, the subject
upon which floods of oratory were eX-
pended before the holiday recess. General
debate has closed, and after a short dis
cussion under the five-minute rule n vote
will be taken upon the only contested
point, which is whether the portion of the
message relating to insurance shall be re-
ferred to the ways and means committee
or the committee on interstate ard for
eign commerce. The contention has been
over the point whether legislation tor the
control of insurance companies shall DO
under the taxing power of the government
or the power to control commerce between
the states.
There was a possibility Of a clash be-
tween the Philippine tariff bill and the
joint statehood bill. The Philippine bill is
already reported, and being a privileged
matter can be called up at any time. Tho
statehood bill is still in committee, put II is
known that it can be brought at any time
and put before the house. Acting in ac-
cordance with the decision of the repub-
lican caucus, 1t is expected the majority
members Of the committee on rules will
bring in rule making the statehood bill
for the admission of two states a special
order. As the measure now stands, and
it will be reported, 1t provides for the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as one state. with the name OF Okla
homa, and the admission of New Mexico
and Arizona as another state. named Ari-
zona. There is practically no opposition
anywhere to the Oklahoma proposition. but
there is determined opposition to coupling
| New Mexico and Arizona together.
When the statehood bill Is out of the
way the house will be ready for the Phil
! ippine tariff bill, and the interesting con-
| test that ensued over the reduction of duty
| on Cuban products is likely to be repeated.
| The beet and cane sugar interests have
become aroused, and have built up a vigor-
! Gus opposition, but the present plan do
not contemplate bringing up the Philippine
| bill this week.

that any other man is criminally guilty,

BLOW TO UNI0NIST PARTY
Duke of DevOnshire Advises Free
Trade Wing to Vote for the
Liberal Candidates.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Duke OF Devon
shire, liberal-unionist, has issued an i'm
portant election manifesto, in which he
virtually advises the free trade unionists to
support the liberal candidates rather than
the protectionist unionists BY treating the
home rule question as a mere side issue
he deals the strongest blow yet delivered
against Mr.. Balfours election tactics
The duke asserts that there is no indica-
ton that the opinion of the country has
changed since the rejection of the home
rule bill. and that 1t is in the highest de-
gree improbable that the government of Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman will iucur the
risk of introducing such another measure
in the parliament. Therefore, he SAYS, the
question of free trade versus protection
must be the paramount factor In the COM
ing elections, and he declares there must
be no deviation from attachment 10 free
trade.
The duke confesses that he knows no
more now than when he left the laIe gov
ernment OF what is implied by the Bal
fourian fiscal scheme, which ITS authors
declare to be acceptable to free traders
and protectionists alike. On the other
hand, he says there is no ambiguity about
the Chamberlain propaganda, which is
avowedly protectionist.
The manifesto contends that the unionist
party organization has largely been COM
pleted by the protectionist wing, and that
should the party become predomlnantly
protectionist there will either be real dan
ger to free trade or the prospect of the ex.
clusion of the union party for an Indefinite
period from power
The duke declares that it is the duty OF
the unionist free traders to take such ac,
tion as to prove that the unionist party in
power OF in opposition Is still uncommitted
to retrograde fiscal policy by whomsoever
&c may be proposed
