department. which states. as / have
outlined, that Il appears no provision
has been made for the disposition OF
| the personal property ceded by the
Federal government on July Z, 1898.
IL the Attorney Generals opinion Is
sound law. II leaves the Territory In a
most awkward position. not only in
regard to this tug. but there are
| numerous instances of other embar-
easements. and what is probably more
serious. considerable OF this property
has been sold and the money passed
into the Territorial treasury As a
forcible illustration of this embarrass-
ment, on July Z, 1885, the Republic OF
Hawaii was the owner OF considerable
live stock used In the public service.
These, by virtue of the organic act,
as is so clearly shown by the Attorney
Generals opinion. passed into the pos
session OF the United States, so far
as title was concerned. Many of these
animals have become absolutely unfit
for the only use the Territory can put
them to. Under the law, as construed,
it is impossible to sell them. The ami
NAL can not be used, neither can it be
case remain in the care of the Ter
ritory at a constant expense and with
out benefit to the Territory or to the
United States.
Again, much material used in inter-
nal improvements became the prop
erty of the United States But when
road or other machinery becomes out
of date. by reason of later inventions
and Improvements, the Territory can
not even sell these worn-out or OBJ
solete implements as old iron, but is
compelled to retain them and will have
to provide storage at a considerable
expense. Similar instances of this ma
ture might be multiplied indefinitely
This legislation (the joint resolution
OF annexation) was passed more than
seven years ago. With perhaps few
exceptions the personal property at
that time owned by the Republic, and
so ceded, has outlived it's usefulness,
and is of comparatively little value for
use either by the Territory or the
United States.
Thus 1t would appear almost i'm
peratively necessary to secure the pas
sage of an act by which the Territory
would be given the power to dispose
by sale of personal property and by
which all sales made in the past would
be ratified. This would certainly work
no financial injury to the United States,
and failure to make such provision
would simply mean that such property
now In the possession of the Territory
would go to ruin without either the
Federal government or the Territory
receiving any benefit from it.

Will enable you to understand the sit
uation, and that if opportunity offers
you will not hesitate to explain to
members of Congress the peculiar pre-
dicament and the necessity of lekisla-
tion of some kind

ROBBERY AT FLORENCE.
Young Man Brutally Beaten by Pair

McNabb was going home from an
entertainment and was on one of the
principal streets but two blocks from
the business center, when man
stepped from behind n tree and felled
him to the ground with blow from
some missile. He was stunned, but
quickly recovered and grappled with
his assailant and was getting the best

Joined in the fight. McNabb, realizing
that he would be overpowered, began
to yell for help. at which the holdup
filled his mouth with sand, nearly
choked him to death and finally bound
his head with his coat. One of his as
sailants relieved him of his money and
then both ran.
McNabb tried to follow them, but
was too weak and they made their es-
cape. He reported the affair to the
police, with description of the men.
The fight took place almost under an
electric light and McNabb says he saw
his assailants clearly and knows them
by sight. On the strength of his de-

are to govern the statehood bill in the
passage through the House.
The vote ordering the previous ores.
tion on the rule was 1872 ayes, and 1876
nays. This clearly defeated the opposi
ton, the full strength of which was
polled, and little interest was taken on
the vote for the adoption of the rule,
which was carried by a majority OF
thirty.
The rule adopted provides that the
bill granting statehood to Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory as "Oklaho.
ma" and Arizona and New Mexico as
ARIZONA" shall be debated until 3
o'clock Thursday and then voted on
without opportunity of amendment.
