II had been hoped by friends OF
the measure that a night session
might be held and that at least a
vote would be taken on the Suther-
land amendment retaining the control
OF senatorial elections in congress.
No progress was made save that Sem
ator Raynor spoke In opposition to
the sutherland amendment and Sem
ators Carter and Hepburn spoke In
support of It,
While Mr. Hepburn, the last
speaker, WAS on the floor several
senators engaged in an active pro-
paganda In favor OF an agreement
on a definite time for at vote, and
the announcement was made at last
that Mr.. Hepburn was the only senn-

II was understood the election
question would be taken up early to-
morrow In view of the fact that
another order Of business has been
arranged for 2:30 O'Clock there may
be a change Of program.
President Taft was appealed TO 10
assist in getting a night session on
the resolution in the interest OF the
dispatch OF general business; but late
in the day word came that he had
not been able to do anything In that
direction.
Al the close of that sitting the

viosly they had been.

STATEHOOD IMPOSSIBLE
FOR ARIZONA THIS YEAR

Washington, Feb. 17.-Statchood
for Arizona is impossible at this ses-
sion of congress for two reasons:
First. Because the returns Of the
election held on February 8 cannot be
canvassed and certified, under the
law, in time to reach Washington for
action by congress; and. second be-
cause congress is opposed to the con-
stitution as drawn. Such is the view
hitherto expressed by Delegate Ralph
Cameron, from that territory and to-
day reiterated.
He quoted the act enabling the peo-
pie of Arizona to form a constitution
and state government to support his
statement of the imposslblllty of Sc
curing any action upon the instru-
ment at this session.
