rspeciai Dispatch to the Morning Journal |
Washington, Aug. 17.-If present
plans carry both the house and senate
will tomorrow vote on statehood
resolution. which both have agreed
upon beforehand, and which the pres
ident has also said he would approve.
The new bill is the Flood resolution
as II passed the senate, with the ex-
ception that Arizona must adopt an
amendment to her constitution cut
ting out the members of the judiciary
from the operation of the recall pro-
vision, or statehood will be denied
that territory. Tonight there is every
indication that both houses will pass
the bill, and 1t will probably be sign
ed by the president Saturday if no
does not leave the city.
Both senator William Alden Smith
and Congressman FLOOD are very en-
thusiastic; Delegates Cameron of Ari.
zona believes that statehood is now
certain, while thdsonly expression OBJ
tanned from Delegate Andrews of New
Mexico is a regret that New Mexico's
'blue ballot" was not eliminated
When the house teHitories commit
tee met this mornings a sub-commit-
tee was authorized to meet with sem
ate committee and present the propo-
sition. The house was to give up tho
idea of vote on the proposition TO
override the presidential veto and to
again pass the Flood resolution so
amended rs to require Arisona to
eliminate the Judicial recall; provided
the senate committee would report
out the samo bill and attempt to pass
It, After considerable deliberation
the senate accepted this proposition
by q vote of six to five. A motion by
owen to insert corrupt practice act
in New MeXio's part of the resolution
was defeated eight to three. The
chairman was then instructed to re-
port the bill and have it put on the
calendar, instead Of asking for inn
mediate consideration, because, as one
Of the democrats expressed 1t, We
want to vote on overriding the presi-
dents veto first, if the house does,
and after that we can call up the bill
from the calendar and pass it,
1t appears now. however, that the
house will not attempt to take this
vote, but will instead vote on the pass
age of the resolution because 1t Is
realized that the overriding of the
veto would gain nothing while the de-
lay might we'll be fatal to state
hood.
Tho only fear now is that some
senator will object to the considera-
ton of the bill in the senate and an
objection would send it over for a
day. However, aside from the owen
bill on the calendar, the senate VII
also be called upon for a disposition
Of the house bill when it comes over
and a motion to proceed to present
consideration of it could not be stop
ped by an objection, but would nave
to be voted on, and would probably
carry by about the same majority az
the resolution itself will on the r9i
call.
AS it concerns New Mexico, the
new bill is the Flood resolution WITH
out the minor amendments added IN
the senate last June.

LIVERPOOL ENJOYS DAY
OF COMPARATIVE CALM.

Liverpool. Aug. l7.-Liverpool was
comparatively quiet today following
several DAYS and nights of turmoil and
rioting growing out Of the strike of
transport workers and allied unionists.
Troops, however, continued TO guard
all public buildings and to patrol the
streets. That there was no serious dis
turbanees tonight. probably was due
to the fact that the electric light COM
pany succeeded In keeping the city
lighted by smuggling men into the
power station to replace the regular
men who quit today.
Until s o'clock tonight the COM
pany maintained only limited sup
ply of current for Illuminating pur-
poses, but at that time the street car
service was suspended and the addi-
tional power was diverted to lighting
the streets and hotels. The latter
previously had been deprived OF all
electric lights. II was necessary to
close the theaters beause of their use
of electric current.
All taverns were closed at o'clock
and must shut down hereafter at 2 y.
IN. until further notice. The lord
mayor conferred this afternoon with
ninety of the magistrates ana resolv-
ed upon issuing this order. II was al
so decided to suppress the sale OF
beers and other drinks In bottle form
SO as TO minimize the use OF bottles by
rioters as missiles.
AS further precaution the press
was requested to avoid sensational
headlines that would be likely to In
cite disorder.
The shipowners' committee today Is
sued manifesto Of cOncilatory
character, appealing to the strikers to
resume work ana enable the with
drawal of the lockout notice against
the shipping employees here. The man
ifesto expressed willingness on the
part of the shipowners to submit the
grievances of the men 10 joint com
mittee The strike committee replied
that things might take their course.
Thus the door was closed to neBotl-
ations looking to settlement OF the
strike. Tom Mann, leader OF the
strikers here. issued a statement en-
bodyng the decision of the strike COM
mittee. In II he said there was no
serious breach between the shipown-
ers and the men. but thar the rail-
way mems unions were determined
that the lockout should be called OF
before any settlement of the dockcrs
troubles could be considered. The
dockers, the statement added, are de.
termlned to stand by the railway men
The streets Of the city are getting
into an unbearable condition as re.
suit Of strike Of scavengers.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 17.-Recall pc
titions against Mayor George w. Dill
ing and Councilman Max Wardall, E.
j. Blaine and j Y. c. Kellogg, were
filed today with the city comptroller
by the Citizens Recall association, of
which Mr.. and Mrs. Frank A. Stirtan
are the leaders.
The petitions will be checked by
the comptroller within ten days. If
the required number Of signatures are
found the council viii call the election
thirty days after the petitions are
certified by the comptro"er
The movement for the recall oi
Mayor Dilling had its inception in the
mayors refusal to discharge Chiei

charges of cruelty to prisoners had
been made. Corbett was investigated
by the grand jury and exonerated
Mayor \Dilling, whose term Will ex-
pire next spring, was elected last WIN
ter at the recall election at which
Mayor Hiram C. Gill was removed
from office.
The recall against tho three coun-
cilmen is based on the alleged failure
to carry out certain campaign pledges
regarding the street railway legisla'
ton. The three councilmen involved
took a prominent part in the anti
vice crusade last year that resulted
in the recall of Former Mayor Gill,
and the subsequent indictment and
conviction of Former Chief OF Police
Charles w. Wappenstcin. No candi-
dates have been brought forward by
the recall leaders, but 1t Is rumored
that Former Mayor Gill will be asked
again by the man who unscated him
last winter.

Part of the Game.

The best kind of wit is not the broad joke or quip, but the remark which summarizes the truth of situation in a striking and, if possible, humorous fashion President Lowell of Harvard is credited with reply which meets these conditions. It was at a dinner in England where John Burns. the labor leader, was present.
 Mir Burns was talking about some bygone' custom of government.
 ''That is as obsolete" he said, "as the Constitution of the United States. Am not right, Mir. Lowell?"
 'T am reminded" returned the other "of a remark which I overheard at a tennis tournament Two old ladies were watching the game. One of them said. How much easier 1t would be for the players if that net were not in the wayI' The constitution is our uet.".-Youth's Companion.

Working Backward.

A Japanese house Is built different ly from an English one. The roof, which with us is the last important part of the outward structure to be completed, is with the Japanese the first thing to be finished. All the tools used by the carpenters and joiners have a reversed action. The Japanese carpenter does not push a plane away from him, but pulls 1t toward him.
 The gimlets are threaded in the op- posite way to ours; the saws are made so as to cut on the upward pull and not on the downward thrust; screws have their threads reversed, and keyholes are always made upside down and the keys turned backward.

A White chamois.

For the last two years glimpses of a perfectly white chamois. a very rare animal, were obtained at long and ir- regular intervals in the mountains above the Weistanen valley, in the Canton of St. Gall, and the authorities issued orders to kill it in order not to lose the rare animal.
 Every effort on the part of the chamois hunters, both professional and amateur, was unsuccessful on ac- count of the shyness of the white chamois, which, however. succumbed to the hunters bullet the other day. It is a perfect specimen. and the body will be stuffed and placed in the mu- scum at St. Gall
 The hunt was difficult and long, for against the snow the white chamois could not be seen, and the cunning animal seemed to be aware of this fact, for it rarely left the snow line. Only one other specimen of a white chamois, killed some six years ago. ex- ists in witzerland.-Geneva core. spondence Pail Mall Gazette.

Primitive Paper.Makina.

In Madagascar kind of writing paper used by some of the native notables and the fetish priests is made from the bark of a shrub named hahova. The bark fiber is boiled and macerated until thin paste is ob- tained. Then a leaf of the plant called ravinia, or travellers tea, is coated with pulp, formed from a particular kind of rice, and over this is spread the hahova paste. on both sides of the leaf. After the coating has thorough ly dried and adhered, it is polished with smooth shell, and the paper is ready for use in writing. The manu- facture of the ink employed, like that of the paper itself, is monopoly of the notables and priests who use it. This paper may be bought by travel CTS at about cent and a half per sheet. but only few hundred sheets are produced in a month.

FARMING BACK IN 1900
Lived in the Simplest Manner and in the Strictest
 Economy.

In a well built cabin of logs the farmer lived in the simplest manner and with the strictest economy. His rooms were warmed and his food was cooked by a fire in 10plate iron stove, which sent the gases up the fiue of a solitary chimney that rose from the middle of the house. His food was chiefly pork and rye. onions and sauerkraut, milk and cheese, tur- nips and Indian corn. Sometimes fresh meat was added. But no beeves nor sheep were slaughtered till every part of the carcass had been disposed of among the families on the neigh boring farms.
 With this exception, everything he' ate grew upon his own land. Every thing he wore was made under his own roof. The good wife and her daughters cultivated the garden patch that lay near the house, trained the honeysuckles that shaded the door, spun the flax and woolen yarn, work ed the loom, made the cheese and butter and, when harvest came, toiled with the sickle in the field. If he had a servant on the farm, the man or woman was a redemptioner.-From McMaster's History of the American People"
