COMES Up TOMORROW
Statehood Bill to Be Br0uuht
Up in the House.
WILL ADOPT SPECIAL RULE
Insurgents" Profess Confidence of
Ultimate Success.
MR.. CANN0N's DECLARATION
Asserts That the House Will Not
Yield to the Amendments
of the Senate.

The statehood bill will be taken I'M IN
the House tomorrow under the protection
of special rule, the adoption of which viii
be the necessary step on the part of the
House to get the bill into the hands of the
conference committee of the Senate and
House. Forty minutes debate will be df-
Vlded between the friends and opponents
OF the rule, when vote will be taken
The special rule is declared to be the
only way the bill can be taken from the
Speaker s table, as otherwise it would have
TO go to the committee on territories be-
cause of the Senate amendment making a
different disposition of certain government
property than was contemplated in the
House bill. If this amendment had not been
made motion to concur in the Senate
amendments would have been in order as
taxing precedence over a motion to dis
agree. However, the advocates of the
House bill VIII see a tactical ADVANTAGE in
the special rule, as some members who
were inclined to support motion to con-
cur with the Senate will not be inclined to
oppose a rule direct from the Speakers
room.
A meeting Of the republican insurgents is
contemplated. Their leaders say the rule
probably will be adopted but that although
they have no real objection to sending the
bill to conference they will vote against the
rule, as they consider it constructive in
struction to the House conferees that they
are not to report unless they can reach an
agreement in accordance with the House
bill. They predict that the vote tomorrow
will be just the one in which the regulars
can hold their strength and that if report
comes in Arizona and New Mexico Will be
eliminated from the bill.

Regarding Compulsion.

Concerning the compulsion said by the
packers to have been exercised by Commits
sioner Garfield, the Attorney General said:
There is no longer any contention here
that there was any actual compulsion In
the acts of Mr.. Garfield other than the
powers invested in him. The claims are
made that the inform1tion furnished to a
government entitled to have 1t was fur
nished under compulson of the law, and

is the issue in this case.
This question is strangely void OF au-
thorities. My friends, the attorneys upon
the other side. have not cited one line OF
authority on this question. On the other
hand we have the Interpretation of long
line of government officers and one case
which bears directly upon the point at is

Speaker Cannon's Declaration.

The bill. having been passed by the Sen
ate with that portion referring to New
Mexico and Arizona stricken from it, 1t now
remains for the two houses of Congress to
get together, If possible, on some PROPOSE
ton to give Arizona and New Mexico an
opportunity to vote on joint statehood. This
matter is being widely discussed, but at the
present time Mr.. Cannon declares that the
House will not give in to the Senate amend
ments, either by striking out Arizona and
New Mexico or for permitting joint state
hood upon the approval of the people of the
two territories voting separately.
On the other hand, there is no Indication
in the Senate of any intention to give way
in this matter. In the meantime the ad-
yocates of joint statehood are busy en-
deavoring to arrive at some practical meth
cd by which Arizona and New Mexico can
be allowed an opportunity for jointure.

Claim of House Managers.

On the eve of the contest the House man
ayers claimed today that they would have
sufficient votes to send the bill to confer
ence, where they want it, 1t was said that
republicans will be faced with the proposi-
ton of standing by the agreement made in
conference last week or joining the insurg-
ent movement.
The Oklahoma advocates still claim that
when the bill goes to conference and comes
back TO the Senate and House they will sue
ceed in their efforts to separate Arizona and
New Mexico from their proposition ana
that by that time there will be a majority
in both bodies for statehood for Okla homa
and Indian Territory regardless of the two
southern territories

Feeling in Arizona.

Letters are being received by prominent
senators from advocates of joint statehood
In Arizona that indicate a hopeful feeling
on the part of a good many people in that
territory of an approval at the polls or
passed by the House of Representatives
could be finally put through with what is
known the first Foraker amendment.
The first Foraker amendment provided that
the people should be allowed to vote in
Arizona and in New Mexico separately to
either accept or discard joint statehood,
this voting to take place at the regular
election to be held to organize the state
government.
The second Foraker amendment. which Is
the one that was attached to the statehood
bill by the Senate before the vote was
taken to strike out all that portion that
relates to New Mexico and Arizona, pro-
vides that the election to determine whether
the people should accept joint statehood
would be held two months after the pas
sage of the bill and before the election for
a state government
This amendment, it said on the part
of many advocates of joint statehood,
at the polls as would the first amendment,
because of the difficulty of getting the peo
pie out to the polls.
AS an indication of the hopeful feeling
that exists in Arizona, Senator Dick of
Ohio who made a very exhaustive speech
from joint statehood advocates in Arizona
stating their confidence in being able to
carry Arizona for joint statehood, and ask
ing that 10000 copies of his speech be sent
to them for the purpose of carrying on
campaign of education This literature will
be sent to Arizona at early a date as
possible, and the campaign for joint state
hood will be carried on.
