AGREE ON STATEHOOD.
There Are To Be Two States From Four
Territories.
Washington. .Ian. — A definite
program as to statehood legislation at
the present session of eongTess has
l eeii outlined, and an agreement has
lieen renehed providing for the admis-
sion uf Oklahoma and Indian Territory
substantially under tlie terms of the
hill introduced by Senator Quay. An-
other hill will Ih introduced in the
eourse of a few days providing for the
admission jointly of Arizona and New
Meixco as one state.
The Oklahoma bill will be actively
pushed to its passage under the leader-
ship of Senator Quay. Tn the last con-
gress any form of statehood legislation
was bitterly fought by Senator Bev-
eridge, chairman of the committee on
| territories, who is now in the combine
for joint .statehood. His leading sup-
porters were Senators Hale and 1'latt,
of Connecticut, who were at the head
of a eombinntion of New England and
KasU-rn senators who met daily and
wi re bitterly arrayed against state-
hood. They are also in the combine,
and with them are Senators Aldricli
and Allison, praetically uniting all the
republicans in behalf < f the Quay bill.
\inong the chief point* of interest in
the Quay bill are the provisions that
at least one of the United States sena-
tors representing the new state shall

which caused so sharp a gain in prices.
Armour is credited with a long line of

approximate only 2,000,000 bushels.
