Correspondents Plan Delight.
full Vacation in West.

On invitation Of the State of Wyoming
large party Of Washington newspaper
correspondents will leave this evening
for three weeks vacation trip among
the wonders Of the West, including the
Yellowstone Park and the famous Jack
son Hole region. The party includes
nearly a score of men prominent in
journalistic circles who have been toll
ing constantly in Washington during the
last two sessions of Congress and who
have accepted with considerable enthusi-
asm the command of the immigration
Commission of Wyoming to tour the
land of the cowboy, the Indian, and the
dry farmer and explore the haunts Of
the famous rainbow trout. 1t is re-
ported that as the result of the expert
ences of the newspaper men there will
be considerable enlightenment in the
Eastern prints on the joys Of the Wy
oming region as a vacation ground and
the advantages of the State for home
purposes.
The party is scheduled to reach Chey
enne in time for participation in the
famous Frontier Day festival. Pushing
into Northwestern Wyoming, the writer's
will enjoy ten days Of life behind the
roundup chuck wagon" and partake of
trail scenery from the hurricane decks
of frontier bronchos. A complete tour
of Yellowstone Park will be made early
in September. After the party reaches
Cody, its members will be carried through
the Wyoming farming and stock-growing
localities by special train.

NEW BUILDING FOR
BUREAU COMING
Bill with Large Appropria-
tion Will Become Law.

The Senate yesterday put the finishing
touches to legislation which clears the
way for the erection of the new building
authorized for the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. The bill passed by the
House on Saturday night carrying an in
crease of $4,000 in the appropriation for
the building was called up in the Senate
by Senator Warren. He urged, on ac-
count of the emergency nature of the
matter, that it be considered without a
report by the Appropriations Committee
to which it had been referred. Senator
Warren explained that conditions in the
present building were very bad and that
the 1000 employees of the Bureau needed
relief at the earliest day possible.
The original appropriation for the new
bureau buildings $50, 0O0-was made in
May, 1903; 1896, 200 of this amount was
spent for site. 1t was found impossi
BILE to erect building suitable in size
for the needs of the bureau and a struc-
ture that would grace the site near the
Mall out of Ihe remainder of the ap-
preparation. The increased appropri-
alton applied for, Senator Warren ex-
planned, would enable the building to
be finished in limestone. The Fine Arts
Commission, he said, had recommended
granite.
Senator Hepburn championed the stand
of the Fine Arts Commission, asserting
that the present generation was forgetful
of the fact that the public buildings
should be monuments of this great gov
ernment.
Perhaps the next generation will seek
to construct the public buildings of
wood in order to cut down their cost"
said Senator Hepburn
The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing bill went to the President for his
signature late yesterday afternoon.

STATEHOOD BILL SIGNED.
Arizona Must Now Vote to EIimi-
nate Recall Plank.

President Taft yesterday signed the
joint Congressional resolution admitting
the Territories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona to the Union, which was passed by
Congress after his veto of the Statehood
hill. A score of New MeXicians and Ari-
zonians who have been about the Capitol
for several months working for State
hood were present at the signing Of the
bill. Delegate Cameron, of Arizona, and
Delegate Andrews, Of New Mexico, held
a little reception in the Presidents office
receiving the congratulations of their
friends.
Under the terms of the joint resolution
it is still necessary for the voters of
Arizona to eliminate the recall of the
judiciary provision from their constitu-
ton before Statehood can be granted.
New Mexico will come into the Union
practically automatically after an cleo
ton has been held for State officers and
Representatives in Congress.

SPECIAL MESSAGES
SENT TO SENATE
Three Subjects Submitted
for Consideration.

President Taft transmitted three spe-
cial messages to the Senate yesterday
dealing with as many subjects. One Of
the most interesting of these recommend
ed an appropriation Of s25OOo0 for con-
tinuing the work of raising the Maine
In Havana Harbor. The appropriation
was asked not so much for lifting the
wreck as to enable the engineer officers
to carry on their Investigations to de-
termine, II possible, the causes which
led to the explosion of the battle ship.
The President transmitted with his
message the report of Secretary Stimson,
who recently visited the wreck and who
indorsed the recommendation of the
engineers for the additional appropria-
ton. Already, according to the Presi-
dents message, the army engineers have
expended nearly s650,00O in getting the
water of the harbor away from the
wreck Of the battle ship, by building a
gigantic cofferdam around the wreck
and pumping the water out Of it.
In another special message to Congress
the President refers to that body a re-
quest from the Cuban government to be
permitted to turn over to a Norwegian
company the contract for removing the
wrecks Of the Spanish war vessels de-
stroyed by the American fleet in the
battle on Santiago de Cuba in 1S9S The
Norwegian wrecking and salvage firm,
which is known to fame by the simple
name of international Bjergnings and
Dykkerselskap," has offered to pay the
Cuban government 10 per cent of the
proceeds derived from the salvage Of the
war vessels.
The third message was one of trans
initial accompanying a report Of the
Secretary of War on the waters of
Niagara
