STATEHOOD COMPROMISE.
Leaders of Both Houses Sag Agree
ment Is Virtually Reached.
[From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington June 1.-THE leaders of the two
houses OF Congress are again discussing the terms
for statehood compromise, and say that agree
ment has been virtually reached. The programme
under discussion provides for the withdrawal Of
the conference report now before the two houses
and another meeting OF the conferrees, at which a
report will be framed by which provision Will be
made that the question OF statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico be voted on at the NovembeE cleo
ton and delegates TO constitutional convention
be elected at the same time.
This proposition obvates the objections presented
by Senator Foraker, who has all along maintained
that II would be than farce 10 ask the
people Of Arizona and New Mexico to go 10 the
expense OF holding a constitutional convention be-
fore they knew whether they were not to
accept the joint statehood proposition Mr.. Foraker
has moreover. maintained that TO nominate and
vote for a large number Of state officials at the
same election al which the voters passed on the
question Of statehood would tend TO prevent free
and expression the statehood question itself
as all the friends OF the nominees and all the niu-
ence OF the officeseekeTs would be thrown for
statehood selfish rather than broad grounds
II is maintained that Speaker Cannon has
cepted this proposition, which is generally regarded
as a complete backdown for him, but he declines
10 say whether he has accepted ii or not
