Tho commltt'o appointed at tlic
Kingfisher Blatohood convontlon yes-
terday forwarded tho following
memorial to coogt'ist:
To the Congress of tho United States
Tho undersigned respectfully repre-
sent: That u statehood convention
was held at Kingfisher O '!. on Ilia
13th day of January 180S for tho pur-
pose of inemoraltzing congress for the
admission of Oklahoma territory Into
tho union as a statu.
Thai tho convention was called by
the chairmen of tho executive commit-
tee of tho throe political psxtics jf the
territory and by tho chairman of the
non-partisan statehood oxccnlivo com-
mittee and that over four hundred
delegates representing equally a'l of
said parties participated lu itB deliber-
ations; That tho convention thus assembled
was tho largest and most reprcsenta
tlvo In Its character over hold in Okla-
homa and undoubtedly expressed the
sentiment of a very largo majority of
the pjoplo of tho territory on tho
statehood question;
That afitr full and freo deliberation
tho following resolution was unani-
mously adopted and tho undero'gaed
appointed a commlttco to present tho
satno to congress and to pray for tho
paBsago of an enabling act at tho pres-
ent session authorizing tho pooplo of
Oklahoma to form a constitution and
oloct a state government preparatory
to atsumlng tho rights and responsi-
bilities of htitehooa:
''Resolved Uy tho pooplo of Okla-
homa territory assembled in dolcgate
convention at Kingfisher for the pur-
poso of considoiiog tho statehood
question that wo earnestly urge upon
tbo congress of the United States tho
passage of an enabling act at its pres-
ent session providing for tho admls
sion of Oklahoma as a state with such
boundaries as in tho wlidom of con-
gress will best Bubservo tho cause of
good government: I'rovldcd that If
Oklahoma and tbo Indian Territory
are included in tho enabling act tho
rcsldenta in each of tho five Civilized
Tribes and Oklahoma shall voto topar-
aioty upoa tho tcccplatiO or rpj miion
of a state constitution which stiall be
operative for such of said section as
accept It"
In pursuance of tho duty dovolvod
upoi ua by tho convention and in sup-
port oi tho request that Oklahoma be
admitted into ttio union as a btaie by
tho early action of congress the un-
dersigned further represent;
That all tho territory within tho
boundarioi of tho proposed ttiteof
Okluhoma was acquired by the United
States from Franco by tiio troaiy of
April 3D 1803 and that by tho 31 aril
cle of bald treaty tho people of Okla-
homa havj guaranteed to them the
right to bo admitted iuti tho union as
a btato ''as soon as possible- according
to tho principles of the federal consti-
tution;" (H Siat p 202 )
That tho territory of Oklahoma con-
talus 21 777 876 acres or 38715 iquaro
miles exceeding the total area of tho
s x states of Vermont Now Hamp-
shire Massachusetts Khodo Island
New Jersoy and Dolowarc;
That this area is composed of a soil
which in fertility and capacity for
agricultural production is fully iqual
to that of any state hi the union In
tho year 1607 Oklahoma produced over
30000000 uueuels of wneat ana l&o
000 bales of cotton All the crops com-
mon to tho trans-MUblsslppi States are
produoed la abjndanco The gover-
nor well says In his report: "Oklaho-
ma's progress in agricultu-o has boon
in koeplug with hor advance in ail
things and this year she comes boforo
tho people with tbo greatoat cro of
grains and other produots ever raised
upon equal area of land." Tho rail-
roads transported to tho market 2 GOB
oirsof cattle and 2134 cars of bog
during last year;
That there are now in opcratiinin
tho territory 475 miles of railway and
more than 200 miles in addition aro
now In process of construction Sev-
eral oti.er lines arr proj-cted and will
doubtless bo constructed In tbo near
future. The permanent conditions
which statehood would brlDg would
largely Increase our railroad mileage
secure tbo investment of capital In
many enterpriser and facilitate our
already largo trado with tho cities of
tho Mississippi valley and with the
dcop wator ports on the Qulf of Mex-
ico; That the last enumeration of the
population was made two years ago
and was at that tlmo 275560. Since
that dato the lmmigratipn into the
territory has rapidly Increased and a
conservative estimate places the pres-
ent population at not less than 125-
000 If an enabling act was pacsod at
the present session of congrets before
its provlblons could be compiled with
n tho usual way Oklahoma would un-
doubtedly have a largely increasod
population;
That this population Is tnoro dis-
tinctively American than In any state
or territory in the union and that in
intelligence enterprise patriotism and
capacity for self-government Is not ex-
celled by any other people
That by the school census of 1S67 the
common school population was 90585
in J 009 school districts 'mere are
fifteen states in the union In which the
fiubllc common school enrollment was
ess by tbo census of 1800 than the
present school population of Okla-
homa That at the election in 1806 S3 708
rotes were cast for delegate f con-
gress It appeal. therefore that the
vote of Oklahoma In 18no was nearly
one-bait as 'ago as tbo total voto of
tho Btato of Malno with four tuombors
of congress; lthodo Island with two
members cast only 41 843 votes Flor-
ida with two monitors cast only 40401
votes and Dataware with ono mem-
ber cast 31400 Whllo tho average
population of theso four slat's is but
t tow thousand largor than the popu-
lation of Oklahoma tncy aro repre-
sented by olgtit members in tho sonato

resentatives Tlicro aro olghtcon
statos in which tho voto cist for Preii-
dont McKluluy in 1830 was loss thau

That tho public Institutions of tho
territory have been successfully cstab
lishcd. A territorial university an
agricultural and mechanical college
two normal schoole a colored agri-
cultural and normal university an ln-
sauo asylum and several denomina-
tional schools and colleges aro among
tho number;
That tho valuation of taxablo prop-
erly for 1897 waB 832031752. Prop-
erty was listed fur taxation at nboitt
ono-lhlrd itsroslv&luo The governor
isys in his rcto I: ' It din sifoly bo
staled that tlio r.sosOU valuation
should bo from sixty to revcnly mil-
lions instead of thirty-two millions "
Tho actual va tie of prnTtyat this
tlmo is not less than 8100 0f0 000;
That thcro are published In tho ter-
ritory ten daily papers eighty weekly
and twolvo monthly publications
llioro aro nlno statos in which a less
number aro published At tho recent
oml-annual meeting of tlio Oitlahoina
I'rcss association a rotqlutlon was
unanimously passed in favpr of imme-
diate statehood;
That thoro aro fortj-nlnc territorial
and fivo national binlis in tho terri-
tory with an actual cash reserve of
over fifty per conl;
That tho undeveloped resources of
tho territory aro of tho most promising
character Deposits of cjal salt oil
Iron granite gypsum zluo aud asphal-
turn aro known to exist and gold and
si ver aro found in tho Wichita moun-
tains in tho southwestern section;
That in all tho olemonts that go to
mako up an advanced and progressive
civilisation In tho number of Its popu-
lation and lu the malarial resources
nocuBsary to attain a Btato government
Oklahoma Is far in advanco of any ter-
ritory over admitted On tho 23d of
May 1890 tho commlttco on territo-
ries of tho houao of representatives
reported in favor of tho admission of
Oklahoma concluding tbo report as
follows. ''In tho opin on of tho com-
inltteo on territory no territory has
ever bon hotter lilted to enter tho
Union as a state."
In obcdlenco to tho resolution adopt-
ed by tho statohood conveutisti and
for tho reasons herowith submitted
wo earnestly urge the admission of
Oklahoma as a state "with such
boundaries as In tho wisdom of con-
gress will best subserve tho causo f
good government." Wo believe with
Governor Darnos as stated lu tits
olllclal report that "No ono of sound
mind can doubt that measured by all
the standards and precedents by which
tho wostern statos havo been admitted
to tho Union Oklahoma is clearly en-
titled to statehood " We call tho at
tentnn of congrosB to tho fact that
resolutions wero adopted by all tho
presidential nominating cjnvontions
In 1896 promising tho admission of
tirritorlcs as states. Tho pooplo of
Oklahoma now ask that tho pledges
thus mado Lo redeemed and that they
ba allowed to enjoy tho rights and
bjneiitB which belong to the peoplo of
a sovereign state

States and Spain will rosult in war Is
furnished by English shipowner who
havo cabled to tnolr agents here that
all charters must contain the "war
clause." This clause which Is posted
in tbo maritime exchange is as fol-
low: "It is understood this steamer Is to
bo employed in strictly noutral trades;
la rut to carry contraband cargo or
trado with ports deolared under block-
ade also. In tho ovent ot war being
declared by or against Grc&t llrltaln

but there was a recrutnlilo dlstin-
pohitmont in this Connection yester-

It was learned positively however
that tho Brazilian govern incut would
not part with tho Tupos an this
closes the nogotlntlous.
In it small measure this 'was ofTsot
by tho success of tho navy lu securing
a trim littlo yarow-btitlt launch
which though very smaU will sorvo

Is sixteen knots or hotter. The nrina-

Tho navy department continued to
keep informed as to tho Hpntiish tor-
pedo Hoot now stopping at tlio Can-

yet reached tho department. It can
be stated positively thnt the report
Unit I'reslduut McKlnloy has protostcd
ugalnst tho coming of this llotlllis Is
uiiwarrunted. Thcro has bcon no

Serious attention Is bolug given by

familiar "to-morrow another ilny."

Court Still n Heoret.
D Washington Mnrch 23. Tho cabi-
net meeting yesterday lasted some
thing over an hour nnd was dovotcd
oxcluslvoly to tho Spanish situation
in general and tho forthcoming roport
of tho Malno court of inquiry in par-
tloular Tho tone ot tho discussion
was very firm and it was determined
that thoro must coma an end to tho
present state of nllnlrs in Cuba.
Secretary Loug authorized tho state-
ment that tho understanding before
tho cabinet was thut tho roport would
roach Washington on next Thursday
or Friday; that It was very volumi-
nous ami that tho publication and
transmission to congress would not
occur until noxt Monday or Tuosday
as the President would roqulro tlmo
to glvo tlio document that mature con-
sideration that Its momentous charne
tor rcqiilrod.
Other cabinet ofllcers stated that tho
general plan included tho sending ot
a presidential mossaga along with tho
roport stating that Spain had been
called upon to mako suitable response
to the onso presented by tho court of
Inquiry. Whllo tho cnblnat associates
of the prosldont maintained tholr
usual rosorvo ns to tho exact character
of their deliberations yot it was con-
codud thut tho discussion proceeded
on tho theory thut tho coming report
would show thut tlio Maine explosion
was not tho rosult of an accident but
was duo to an external causa
It Is believed to bo tho intention of
tho President howovor to bring about
a very material nnd satisfactory
chaugo ot conditions in Cuba by what
shall seem to bo tho best nnd most
practicable method ot obtaining this
uud. It Is tlio hope ot tho adminis-
tration that Kpain herself .-!l so fur1
realize tho situation as td seo tho
necessity for such radical action on
her part with respect to Cuba as shall
command the approbation of this
country and thus lit onco put an eud
to all dlffuienoe.
Pending a decision on tho govern-
ment s final policy no overtures or In
tiinatlonn have been convevod to tho
Spanish government and thoro is no
ostein! knowledge as to how Hpaln
would irgurdu recognition of Cuban
Independence or Intervention 'I ho
Spanish minister Kenor Polo request
ud that a statement be made that re
ports attributing to him expressions
on the subject of Independence wero
unwarranted and untrua Honor Polo
says he has nut discussed tills or any
other of the ponding questions.
