STATEHOOD BILL pAssEslsEaATE
Action Insures Admission Of Arizona
and New Mexico Union,

H, huu NOW 1ex1co Vu1O0s
Two more stars. making forty-eight
in all, will be added to the American
flag as result OF the action sof the
United States Senate In unanimously
passing the bill granting statehood to
Arizona and New Mexico.
The House having already acted, the
measure went to a conference commit
tee. which will arrange the differences
in the two measures adopted and sub
NIT for the approval Of Congress and
the President the act under which the
territories will be admitted into the
Union. q
The Democrats had feared the Re
lpublicans would endeavor to postpone
the report Of the committee, thus kill
ing statehood for this session. But
they received positive assurances that
delay would not be attempted aud that
Congress would not adjourn without,
action. ~
Thus has ended victoriously q strug-
gle Of years on the part of Arizona and
New Mexico to be admitted as separate
States. United, they could have re-
lceived statehood at the time this high
privilege was accorded to Oklahoma.
But the Arizonians objected to amalga-
nation with the New Mexicans and
strenuously opposed the plan.
The terms upon which the grant is
made may not meet with the full ap.
proval Of the residents ofss.the terri
tories. They may feel that onerousi
conditions have been imposed in some
respects. but there Is not the slightest
doubt but that they will accept them
and lose no time in qualifying for the.
improved status which has been Of.
fered. Fl

CHICAGO.

+ = Il. q
R. 9. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
Chicago trade says:
While the volume Of. payments
through the banks presents another
unfavorable comparison, the record OF
trading defaults makes good exhibit
and business generally settles down to
the calm usually preceding the har-
vests. The notable improvement this
week was the warm weather and its
immediate salutary effect upon the
leading retail lines here and at the
interior. Seasonable goods have been
urgently bought and stocks of APP
parel and other merchandise now un-
dergo gratifying reductions. Heavy
movements also appear in grain, hides,
lumber and factory outputs.
Country merchants express conf-s
dence In prospects of large sales in
the fall and purchase literally. The
only drawback is uncertainty as to
probable course Of prices for the tex
tiles. The attendance Of buyers here
compares favorably with this time last
year.
Mail and road orders equal expec-
tations in dry goods, clothing, millin-
cry. mems and house furnishings.
Rates for commercial paper show
no change, but money bears an easier
feeling and deposits increase moder-
ately. The markets for bonds and local
securities reflect conservative invest
ment, and there is also smaller vol
ume OF new building permits.
