The national assembly leaders had .
lengthy conference with Prince Ching,

emphasized the imperative necessity Of

Immediately granted they will be un-
able to keep the army from overthrow

The situation a. it has developed up
to now presents but n question
whether ever the granting of all the
leagues demands will save the dynasty.
The rebel leaders announce that the
Manchu troops must be disbanded as an
earnest of the sincerity of the thrones
concessions. Otherwise they will fight
until the Manchus are ousted.

Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico, the last two territories with
in the mainland of the United States
was voted by the senate early Tues
day evening by vote of SO to IS.
Under the provisions of the bill
which is substantially the same meas
ure that passed the house earlier in
the special session, Arizona is required
to resubmit that portion of her pro
posed constitution which provides for
the recall of the judiciary. Defeat of
this provision, however, is not made
a prerequisite to statehood.
The overwhelming majority given
the Flood resolution in the senate
Tuesday is regarded as a moral lev
er which is bound to overcome any
personal objections which the presi-
dent may entertain toward the recall
of the judiciary. The Flood resolu-
ton leaves President Taft a lOOphOle
of escape by it's reference of the re-
call of judges to a vote of the people
of the new state.
An analysis of the vote in the SEN
ate also leads to the conclusion that
the president will not care to place
a political cudgel in the hands of the
democrats which the most astute
leaders in his own party SHE'D away
from. Twenty-three republicans vot-
ed for the Flood resolution after the
defeat of the Nelson amendment

BIG CAR REACHES
PARKER ON TIME
B. o. TiIden, President of the Ameri.

Is Accompanying Car From Allan.
tic Coast to Honolulu.

The big fifty h.p. touring car which
left New York April goth for Honolulu
over the route which is known as the
B. O. T. Trip. arrived in Parker Tues
day night, and left the following
morning on it's way to San Francisco.
The car arrived here exactly on time
according to carefully pre-arranged
schedule, and while nearly two months
have elapsed since it left New York
City, yet when the total distance COW
cred is considered the car has surely
proved a record breaker, for instance:
instead of coming directly from New
York, it started west via South
Carolina having passed through all
the South Atlantic States, then it
turned north again as far as Pennsyl-
vania, passed through the Appala-
chian chain at Cumberland, through
West Virginia, and into Ohio via Ten
dIlO IAtHIuChy, duu I1Gu H0dIly
directly west
They have made an average daily
run of about 100 miles, and the fact
that they have had an absolutely clean
record SO far as automobile repairing
is concerned, is surely a good word
for the StOddard- Dayton car which
they are running.
The trip, however, i purely
business venture and is not a route
maker or an automobile advertisement
in any sense of the word O. B. Til
den, president of the American San
itary Works of New York City and
an authority on sanitation, is accom-
panying the car on its entire trip,
and it is in the interes tof the product
of his own factories that he is making
this extended tour.

ance with the regulations requiring a

termination of what lands are sub.

devolves upon the secretary of the
interior, and since the passage of the
act in February, 1909, 19O,250, $50
acres have been designated by him
as subject to entry in units of 320
acres. Every month additional lands
are thus designated, 90,220 acres hav-
