HOUSE TO PASS
STATEHOOD BILL
PROBABLY WILL DISPOSE OF
IT AT ONCE
Reference to Insurance In the Presi-
dents Message viii BE the
First Business to Be
Taken Up
BY Associated Press.

ny Assoclated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9t.-The house
of representatives will settle down to
work as soon as IT meets on Thursday,
and possibly before the end Of the week
1t Will pass the bill providing for the
admission of two new states
The first thing to Ndispose of is the
reference to insurance in the presi-
dents message, the subject upon which
floods Of oratory were expended before
the holiday recess. General debate has
closed and after a short discussion un-
der the five minute rule, a vote will
be taken upon the only contested point,
which is whether the portion of the
message relating to insurance shall be
referred to the ways and means COM
mittee or the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce. The contention
has been over the point whether legis-
lation for the control of insurance com
panies shall be under the taxing power
of the government or the power to con-
troll commerce between the states.
There was a possibility of a clash be-
tween the Philippine tariff bill and the
joint statehood bill. The Philippine
bill is already reported and being a
privileged measure, can be called uL
at any time. The statehood bill is still
in committee, but 1t is known that II
can be brought out at any time and
put before the house. Acting in ac.
cordance with the decision of the Re-
publican caucus, it is expected the ma
jority members of the committee or
rules will bring in a rule making the
statehood bill a special order for the
admission of two states. AS the
measure now stands and as 1t will be
reported, it provides for the admission
Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as
one state with the name of Oklahoma
and the admission of New Mexico anC
Arizona as another state named Ari.
Zona.
There is practically no opposition any.
where to the Oklahoma proposition, bu
there Is determined opposition tt
coupling New Mexico and Arizona to-
gether particularly by certain inter
ests in Arizona, and the objection i:
voiced by the almost unanimous vott
of the minority.
When the statehood bill is out Of tn,
way the house will be ready for TIL,
| Philippine tariff bill, and the interest
| ing contest that ensued over the re
| duction Of duty on Cuban products Il
| likely to be repeated. The beet anc
cane sugar interests have become
aroused and have built up a vigorous
opposition, but the present plan doe
not contemplate bringing up the Phil
| ippine bill this week.

CAMPAIGNING AGAINST WlTTE
Durnovo Is Supported by Strong
Clique of Reactionaries
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 81. 1885 p.
m.-The report that Count Witte is
booked for retirement In few days is
again being persistently circulated.
The Nasha Shisn, which declares it
can guarantee the accuracy of its state
ment says that M. Durnovo, minister
of the interior, who is worsh!ped as al
idol by the court Camarilla, which be-
lieVes that his stern policy alone can
put an end to the existing anarchy. has
accomplished the downfall of the count
and will be elevated to the premiership.
Investigation by the Associated Press,
however, indicates that the report is
baseless. certainly for the moment
Nevertheless it is true that NJ. Durnovo
has a powerful cabal of reactionaries
behind him, and temporarily seems to
dominate the situation.

member of the senate) created a stir,
resigned, according to the Molva (Russ)
rather than submit to M. DurnoVo' s
dictation in matters which he regarded
as being strictly within the sphere Of
his ministry. He insisted that the re-
ports of the senators who were dis
patched to investigate the Jewish and
other massacras following the imperial
manifesto of October 80, should be made
to the minister of justice, in order that
legal proceedings could be begun
against the police and other local
authorities where found culpable. NJ.
Durnovo resisted this. declaring that
the interior administration belonged to
him. When M. Durnovo was sustained
NJ. Manukhin resigned and NJ. Akynoff,
who is brother-in-law of M. DurnoVo,
was appointed as his successor
Liberals Attacking Witte
On the other hand Count Witte is
being attacked more fiercely than ever
on the side of the Liberals who charge
that he is sho wing the cloven hoof and
say that he might happen to fall be-
tween two stools.
M. Brianchianinoff is out with a
strong article in the Slovo entitled
"Witte Must Co." in which he asserts
that the victory at Portsmouth has
been followed by defeat at st. Peters
burg.
His line of argument is that anarchy
has been able to make neadWay because

to have a constitution or whether the

Assuming Normal Aspect

The appearance of the center Of the
city today is quite normal, The people
who have been cooped up for a week
are crowding the streets, through which
pass the gay sleighs and the magni-
ficent turnouts of the Moscow merchant
princes. Tonight the city is quiet ex-
cept for an occasional shot where a
revolutionist Is trying to escape cap
ture.
The workmen's council. or what is
left of it outside of prison, has formally
declared the strike off. The revolution
aries have managed to get out a procla-
nation, declaring that the purposes of
the revolt have been fully accomplished
and calling upon the proletariat to pre-
pare for a decisive battle January %.
A great many of the workmen, now
ever, are In an angry mood They
claim that they have been deceived by
the revolutionaries and that their
families are starving. These are threat
ening vengeance on the agitators. Some
of the employers, like Mr.. Barry of the
American Boiler works, will shorten
the usual Christmas vacation from six
teen to four days in order to allow the
men to earn something.
IT is reported that band Of revolu-
tlonaries yesterday attacked the prison,
but were beaten off with severe loss.
The casualties, however, were greatly
overestimated but it was difficult to
obtain reliable figures. Up to Friday
night only 1877 were formally reported as
dead and 227 as wounded.
Governor General Doubassoff has is
sued, proclamation forbidding well
disposed persons to shelter revolu-
tionaries, but the former are powerless,
as the revolutionaries appear at their
houses with revolvers in their hands.

The only serious attempt at defense

All Because of a Rooster

AS result of joke perpetrated
by Captain Weber at police headquar
tiers, L A. Tillman, a negro police
officer of Kansas City, spent several
hours trying to prove that he had
not purchased a stolen rooster.
A few days ago Captain Weber saw
Officer Tillman at police headquar-
ters with a big Plymouth Rock roos-
ter under his arm. When two negro
boys were arrested for stealing chick
ems he took them into his private of
flee and ordered them to say that they
scld rooster to Tillman. Then he
called the negro patrolman into the
Office.
What did you do with the big roos-
ter YOU stole?" asked Captain Weber
of Ole of the boys.
Sold it to Officer Tillman," was
the reply.
Whats that?" demanded the cap
tain, apparently surprised. How
much did he give you for it?'
twenty-five cents
Tie captain then turned to Till
man. How about that officer? You'll
have to explain, he said, severely.
The negro officer could say nothing
for moment. That's a lie and I'll
prove it, he said, finally, as he
rushed out of the Office.
At 6 o'clock in the evening Tillman
called up Captain Weber and told
him that lie had the man from whom
he had purchased the rooster and
was bringing him to police headquar-
tiers. Then be was told of the joke.
