Many Delegations from New
Mexico and Arizona Learn That
Fact in Washington.
SENATE LEADERS DECISION.
Those Who Have Discussed Subject
Diner Widely as TO Qualifications
OF Territories for Statehood.

Washington, Jan i6-Numerous del
egations from New Mexico and Arizo-
ma, which have come here to press the
claims Of those territories for state
hood. have learned that the senate
leaders do not intend to permit the
statehood bill TO pass at the present
session. This decision mas been reached
at an informal conference Of the sem
ate leaders.
II was said that there was not time
enough remaining Of this Congress TO
enact the necessary legislation. State
hood measures invariably provoke pro-
longed discussion.
An additional reason adopted by SEN
ate leaders against tho proposition Is
the fact that members who have dis
cussed the qualifications Of these ter
ritories differ widely as to the char
acter Of the population and It's ability
20 carry the responsibilities OF state
hood It Is said that there are a num-
Der OF questions to be settled which viii
be answered by the coming decennial
census, and many members OF Congress
therefore urge that statehood be de-
layed until after Il has been taken.
Many other members. including Senator
Foraker who has been an advocate
OF separate statehood for them for
number Of years, have pointed out
with some force that the platforms OF
both Of the great political parties de-
clare for statehood for both territories
However there are only 40 legislative
days remaining and practically an OF
the big supply bills are yet TO be passed.

received and the ship will proceed to
Sault Ste Marie, where more explicit
Instructions will he awaited.
The ship cast loose from her dock AT
Ripley at half past 1 o'clock, and had
some difficulty on turning i'm the strong
wind that was blowing up the lake.

try she was saluted by several whis-
ties. to which she responded.
The Yantic was under tho command

Jack the big mastin mascot, stood
like a figurehead at the bowsprit and
parked a farewell to his friends on
shore. The United states flag was fly
ing from the stern. and the ship pre-
scented a most attractive appearance
as she passed down the lake. George
