Washington, March 1O.-At 6i35

territory of Oklahoma and Indian Ter.
ritory. It was the house joint state
hood bill with all the provisions relat-
Ing to Arizona and New Mexico strick-
en- out. The motion to strike out was
made by Mr.. Burrows and it was car
ried by the close vote of 81 to 35, after
having been lost in committee Of the
whole by the still closer vote OF 35
to SO.
The vote on the statehood measure
came as the climax Of day devoted
exclusively to that bill. The speech
making excited comparatively little
interest, but there was pronounced ex-
citement throughout the voting period
and it illuminated when the success Of
the motion to eliminate Arizona and
New Mexico was announced after the
second vote on that proposition.
AS amended by the senate the bill
provides for the creation Of the state
Of Oklahoma out Of O Oklahoma and In
dian Territories upon the adoption Of
q constitution. The state is allowed
the usual quota of executive, judicial
and legislative officers, two United
States senator's and iive members Of
the national house Of representatives.

Great Rush Of New Settlers.

Forty thousand new settlers is the
estimate placed on South Dakota's
great influx of immigrants for the
year 1906. The railroads figure they
will haul at least 5000 cars of settlers,
Cheir stock, household effects, ETC.,
from the way people are now coming
in, which, on the average of five to
car, which number is allowed, makes
up the big total of 100000 for the state
in a year. This estimate is a conserva-
tive one and is likely to be greatly ex-
celled. The last six days have seen
250 cars, or 1,200 people, all come to
stay, go through Yankton on just one
line and this is but part, as it takes
into consideration only the immigrant
trains, which are really freights. This
state is experiencing the greatest rush
of new settlers in all its history.

there was no wanton destruction Of

though the Moros used them as shields
In the hand-to-hand fighting. General
Wood declared that many Of the wo.
men wore male attire and their sex
could not be distinguished. Another
confusing cause was the desperation
with which the women fought, the
priests having worked all OF the Moros
to a religious frenzy. Many Of the
Moros feigned death and butchered
the American hospital men who were
relieving the wounded.
