tary for Ireland introduced in the House of

10000. Mr.. Bryce estimated the cost of a
cottage and land at about $50, so that between
% 1000 and 10000 cottages would be erected

BILL LIKELY TO PASS.
Ar1z0nd and Ne1C Merico to Vote ON
Question of Union.
[From The Tribune Buresu.I

Washington May 2S.-An agreement on the
Statehood bill has been reached. whereby the
first Foraker amendment will be added to the
opinion of the leaders In both houses. the bill
in this form will be approved and become law
BY the provisions of this amendment Arizona
and New Mexico will be authorized to hold

GERS and will then vote for such officers and for
against becoming a single state at the No
vember election 1t will require a majority Of
the ballots cast in each territory TO adopt the
constitution and insure a proclamation by the
President admitting the new state TO the Union
1t is held by all interested in the subject that
Arizona will vote 10 the end against being
Joined to New Mexico. but the two territories
will have an opportunity of becoming single
state If both desire it.
This agreement has not received the sane
tion of Senator Foraker. but il is said that his
following in the Senate has materially fallen OF
under the pressure of the Executive and in the
to every measure fostered ny an anti-statehood
Senator. that the prediction is made that
when the report of the conferrees is laid before
the Senate 1t will receive the approval Of large
majority of the Republican votes and that SEN
ator Foraker may even find himself as isolated
in his opposition as he was in his opposition to
the Railroad Rate bill.
The report of the conferrees is expected In
the Senate this week. and it is believed that the
question will be promptly disposed Of The pro-
posed compromise has the hearty approval OF
