the amount necessary to support the large number of
new missionaries sent out. The expense of the At

the Bakuba Revolt and the rebuilding of Ibani Sta

ton for this and other curing the year 1905
by nearly 100000 The results is that the beoin-

q. e. Henderte, of the Northern Brazil Mission
wrote that the value of the Brazilian naiIreis had

only motive OF the committee on ter

1oday's Session.
Washington, d. c.. March 9.--Owing
to the fact that the senate took re-
cess instead Of adjournment last
night, Beveridge was enabled to pro-
ceed with his speech in support Of
joint statehood when today's session
began at IL. There xaS- much hattar
attendance than at yesterdays open.
Ing Beveridge took up the argument
contending that the necessity for In
terpreters for the benefit of the Mex.
ican population was rapidly passing
and arguing that very little attention
should be given to the pledge for
statehood given when the territory Of
Arizona was created, because II was
given az the result of fraudulent re-
presentations.
Beveridge was DULY applauded by
khe galleries when he concluded.
The legislative session Of Thursday
came 10 an end at noon and the ses-
sion Of today commenced at once
Under the head of morning business
Beveridge undertook 10 read a number
Of kilograms in support of the state
hood bill, but Teller objected on the
ground that they could come in prop

statehood bill. Beveridge then stated
that he had received hundreds Of
messages. most Of them frsm Arizona,
urging joint admission. i too have

washington, u. c., March 9.--Mr.
Beveridge, who followed Mr.. Patter.
son yesterday afternoon. began his
speech with a reply to Mr.. Patter'
sons observation concerning the orr.
gin Of the joint statehood idea, say
Ing that il was not matter upon
which the people Of the territories
should be consulted. The people Of
the entire country we're concerned
over the creation Of states and the
senator contended that congress should
proceed upon that theory. As going
to show that Arizona might ultimate
" accept the union with favor, Mr..
peyeridge stated that, originally the
people Of both Oklahoma and Indian
Territory were opposed to the union,
they were practically unanimous for
Il now. He opposed the Foraker
amendment, arguing that II 1t were
adopted it would give to $4,000 people
IN Arizona power TO thwart the will
nf 25o,000 people in the two territor-
les combined. He declared that the
Copper Queen Mining company alone
employed $4,000 men in Arizona. Mr..
Patterson and Mr. Clark Of Montana
united In the declaration that the
number did not exceed $500. but Mr..
Beveridge justified his statement BY
ouotine from the testimony taken BY
tbe committee on territories. M.
Beyeridge dwelt upon the liberal pro
vision made for educational purposes

polygamists living in Arizona and
there were also many in New Mexico
There was, he said, no power in Utah
to punish polygamy and Mormonism
was so strong in his own state Of
Idaho, that notwithstanding that a.
leader OF the sect in that state had
testified that he was the husband OF

Of bringing him to account for 1t
