THE STATEHOOD FIGHT
HOUSE MANAGERS TO BRING
THE TEST NEXT WEEK.

The House managers decided today to
force the lighting on the statehood bill.
They are of opinion, based on reports re-
ceived from the republican whip of the
House. that the insurrection against the
statehood bill isslisintegrating to such an
extent that they can risk vote next week
on the rule providing for consideration of
the statehood measure.
Chairman Hamilton Of the committee on
territories will report the statehood bill to
the House next Tuesday The committee on
rules will meet Wednesday morning and will
bring in rule providing for Immediate con-
sideration Of the bill 1t was said this aft
ernoon that the rule win not contain any
concession to the insurgents. and that It will
not permit division of the vote upon the
question of the admission Of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as one state and of New
Mexico and Arizona as another.
Considerable surprise was evinced this az
ternoon when this decision, Of the leaders
was announced. The Insurgents were just
as confident as they have been at any time
that they could defeat the rue, and when
it was learned that the House managers
had decided to bring the contest to direct
issue in the House there was much wonder
ment as to what had happened to the IN
surgent forces to give the House leaders
such confidence.
The organization managers said that their
inquiries have convinced them that much
of the insurgent strength so called, is con-
tingent and that 1t will disappear when the
republicans are confronted with plain
issue of deserving their party organization.
The statehood bill was under cOnsfdera-
ton by the Senate committee on territories
today. The bill was read at length and
number of minor changes agreed upon.
Among the amendments discussed was one
for the insertion Of prohibition provision
for Indian Territory similar to the House
provision and it probably Will be incor-
porated in the bill. The question of joint
statehood for Arizona and New Mexico was
not brought up There Is no intention Of
reporting the bill until after the House acts.
Friends of the bill claim that all the repub-
1lcan members of the committee and one
democratic member. Mr.. Clarke of Arkan-
sas, will favor the reporting OF the measure
substantially as 1t was introduced.
