Some Kind of Report Sure to Be
Made which will Result in
Favorable Action.
Washington, April 26—Edward
It. Clark, the well known corre-
spondent of the Chicago Evening
Post, sends the following di>
patch to his paper:
It is impossible to state to-day
with practically full assurance
that the house will agree on a
statehood bill, that it will be
signed by the President and thai
as a result Arizona and New
Mexico will come into the union
joined in single statehood, with
Oklahomaand Indian Territory to
bear them company.
Debate on the railroad rate
measure has had the effect to an
extent of shadowing the drama
which daily is being enacted in
the room whore meet the house
and senate conferees on state-
hood. It is a drama of rare in-
terest, with viri.'d settings and
side lights, and it has just reacli-
eb that period of development
where it is possible to foresee
that the final act will disclose a
stage set for adouble wedding.
Peculiar interest attaches to
the daily meetings of the confer-
ence committee because -Senator
Beveridge, chairman of the Sen
ate'a conferring body, is oblige!
from the very necessities of the
case to present the views of the
senate which ended amendments
to the statehood hill that were not
at all to the liking of the Indiana
senator, who was a champion of
the measure as it came from the
house. . Notwithstanding his
personal views, however, Senator
H.sveridg • is d >in,' his duty by
the b >dy which insisted that
changes in.which he did not be-
lieve should be made fn the bill,
hamilton leads conferees.
Representative Edward L
Hamilton, chairman of the lious > !
committee on territories, is the I
leader of the conferees on the.!
part of his c >1 leagues. He is [
standing stauchly for the bill as
it was passed by the representa
tive body, but when the proper
time shall come—a ti me not many
days distant—Mr. Hamiliton
undoubtedly will yield gracefully
to certain propositions nude by
the senate through Mr. Bev-
eridge, and will yield, having full
confidence that" out of the vjry
yielding will come victory.
The senate tacked forty amend
nu ns to ths li iu.se incisure, but
t le one of prime interest to th •
people of the U.iited States is
that which cut Arizona and New '
Mexico out of consideration and j
admitted Oklahoma and Indian'
Territory. This w is the amend I
ment of Senator Bu> r ws of
Michigan, and it, romovj I tom
porarily from the so.me tin for-
aker amendment, which provided
that Ariz >nn an I N -w M-'xico
should be admit ed if at, a-'s'|>a-
rate voting each territory giv<
assent to united admission.
which wi'l result in
states for the union.
The senators who have boon
bitterly opposed to anything like
compromise are known ti bo
yielding i^ch bv inch. Itispnc
tically certain that within a few
lays the upper h use will author-
ize Mr. 13 jveridge to prop we to
Representative tl.imilto i thitthe
last Forakeramendment be made
the basis of compromise. It will
take Mr. Hamilton about tlnee
seconds to reject the proposition,
i*3C mse the elections are pro-
ided for in a manner which is
•elieveJ to be unfair to the gener-
d proposition ofjiint statehood.
Alter the rejection a day or two
■vill elapse and then it is expect-
ed that the senators will authorize
Mr. Beveridg to prop mo tint
the questi >11 of j lint st iteh > id be
submitted to the Arizona and
New Mexico voters at the regular
territorial elections next fall in-
stead of a special voting. |
will give decisive negative.
^ If the senators should will to
I present this second pi opposition
they would pave time for them-
selves and for congress, for Mr.
Hamilton, acting advisedly and
after a word or two or argument,
will give adecisive negative to• lie
proposition on the part of the
house.
When the senate has been told
that the house will have none of
its second proposal, there is every
reason to believe that a third
proposition will be made. After
a proper amount of demurring,
I Mr. Hamilton will agree to pre*
j sent the matter to the house, and
jii is only partly a secret that the
j house will sanction the senate's
j proffered compromise.
1 he third and last proposition
.of the senate, and the one which
| the house will accept, is in effect
, the foraker amendment to the
statehood bill of the last con
gross. It provides for a consti
tutional convention to bo held by
the people of the two territories'
and that at the regular election
for state officers the people shall
vote on the question of theadopt-
| ion of a constitution.
j It is truethat under the amend
■ ment ther e will be a separate
j ballot, and that both territories
I must vote affirmatively to make
: joint statehood a fact, but the
j leaders of the house have every
| assurance that with the consti
| tuitonal convention as a preface
to the voting, the people of the
territories will declare in no un-
certain way that joint statehood
is their wish.
where a vote is.to bo cast for th«
constitution. This provision
would require that each of the
territories voting separately on
the constitution gave a majority
for it before the constitution
could become effective.
IS all that okla-homa wants.
All that the advocates of state-
hood for Oklahoma have desired
is the presentation of a rep >rt of
some kind to Congress. If the
two houses once again get. poss-
ession of the bill they will not let
go until statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian territory is assured

It is probable that the objec-
tionable Warren amendment will
have to be threshed out in the
open Senate. This, despite the |
fact that Senator Warren is not
insistent upon pressing it. The!
conditions under which the Sen-
ate and House conferees met al-J
most precluded the possibility of,
any agreement upon the impor-
tant amendments to the bill.
Senator Beveridge was tied;
down with the promise that he
would not consent to any of the!
Senate amendments adopted in!

without first obtain ins the con
sentofthe body which he repre-
sented. The conferees, of course,
had free rein in all amendments
offered by the committee, hut
they could not recede from Sen-
ate amendments passed in the
open Senate, and it became ap-
parent that the only hope for a
bill was to return the measure to

Washington, April 28 —State-
hood for Oklahoma and Indian
territo ry received a decided boost
to-day in formal conference be
tween the factions which have
J opposed ihicli other in the House
and Senate. Representative
| Watson of Indiana, the Hepubli
can House wliip.SeijutorForaker,
Senator Beveridge, Speaker Can-
non and Representative Hamilton,
chairman of the House conference
committee, threshed the subject
out in various meetings. At the
• old of the day the announcement
| was made to several persons who
'are interested that a report of
some sort will be submitted to
the House and Senate after the
rate bill has been disposed of.
Although no authoritative
statement can bo obtained the
understanding is that the con-
ferees will suggest as a compro-
mise the Foraker amendment

communion with nature, by feed-
