The Senate win Dispose of the Meas
ure Today.

Washington, March 9.-Owing to
the fact that the senate took recess
instead of adjourning last night, Mr..
Beveridge was enabled to proceed with
his speech in support Of the joint state
hood bill when todays session began
at II O'Clock. There was a much bet
ter attendance of senators than at the
beginning Of yesterdays session and
the galleries were filed early IN the day.
Mr.. Beveridge took up his argument
where he left off yesterday, offending
that the necessity for interpreters for
the benefit Of the Mexican population
was rapidly passing and arguing that
very little attention should be given to
the pleas for statehood given when the
territory Of Arizona was created be-
cause it had been given as the result
Of fraudulent representations.
Mr.. Beveridge was literally applaud
ed by the galleries when he concluded
The legislative session Of Thursday
came to an end at Il O'Clock and the
session of today was 1rlIn ed1ately con
vened, necessitating the disposal Of the
routine business before continuing with
the statehood bill
Under the head of morning business
Mr. BeyeridRe undertook to have read
number Of kilograms in support of
the statehood bill, but Mr.. Teller OBJ
jected on the ground that they should
come in properly as a part Of the con
sideration Of the statehood bill.
Joke on Beveridge.
Mr.. Beveridge then stated that he
had received hundreds of messages,
most Of them from Arizona. urging
Joint admission 81, too, have received
hundreds Of messages on the sugject
of statehood" responded Mr.. Foraker.
One of them from gentleman who
gives his name and who says that a
telegram signed by the senator from
Indiana is being circulated in Arizona
urging that five hundred kilograms be
sent to the senate from Arizona in
favor Of statehood. The statement
created a laugh at Mr.. Beveridge's ex-
pense and in which he Joined. He said
he knew nothing about the telegram.
The kilograms were not read.
A communication from Secretary
Hitchcock recomm ending an extension
of time for the opening of the Sho-
shone Indian reservation in Wyoming
from June Is to August Is was read.
A bill appropriating 100000 for the
innprovem ent OF the mouth Of the Co
Iumbia river was passed
Consideration of the statehood bill
was then resumed and Mr.. Foraker
made the first speech under the ten
minute rule. He po uted cut that Arr
zona was not asking admission and
said there never had been an effort to
force statehood on an unwilling ter
ritorial constituency.

MONSTER LOBBY.
New York Capital Swarms With
Insurance Hen.

Albany, N. Y, March e.-Probably
never before has d more remarkable
gathering Of life iTNuraEce men been
assembled under a single roof than that
which met today in the state capitol
in connection with the hearing on the
pending amendments to the Insurance
laws. The hearing on the bills was
had before the Joint special legislative
investigating committee which drew
upon Itself universal attention by its
exposure of many Of the conditions sur
rounding the business OF life Insurance.
carried on il this state.
Today's hearing was the first public
opportunity of the insurar ce companies
to express themselves upon the provis-
ions Of the ten bills presented by the
committee to the legislature as the re-
suit Of its investigation and the great
and small companies concentrated a,
powerful personnel upon the occasion.
Arrangements had been made for a
very large attendance and yesterday it
became evident that the great crowd
Of insurance men coming in on every
train would tax to the utmost the ca
pacity of the big assembly chamber.
Last night the corridors cf the hotels
suggested the night before q great pO-
liucaI convention
Many radical conditions in the state
insurance law and kindred statutes are
proposed in the 10 bills under ccnsid-
Grafton.
President Morton of the Equitable
Life Assurance society was the first
speaker. He admitted that serious
evils had crept into the insurance busi-
ness and assured the committee that
he was in accord with its general pur-
poses. He said, however, that if these
bills were enacted without changes it
would seriously injure the insurance
business in the state. Mr.. Morton then
took the changes In the bills he would
suggest. In brief, he believed that
with certain qualifications insurance
companies should be allowed the same
latitude in the matter of investments
as heretofore.
