Washington d. C Juno 5--Discu6
slon of tho railroad rato bill confer
ence roport in the'Sonate today show
ed conclusively that tho bill will be
sent back to conference. Tho con
ferees announced that they expected
that remit.
There will be a light In tho Senate
over the conference roport on the
railroad rate hill the senators ex
press themselves as amazed nt the
manner lu which the conferee recon
structed somo of the provisions of the
bill and as they claim Injected "new
legislation" into It. Thero are many
points on which dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed. Thovdo not bv anv means
affect tbo general principles Involved
In tho legislation nor the end it seeks
to accomplish yet senators assert
that the departure by the conferees
from the usual course of considering
only those things whleh are passed
upon by tho House or tho Senate Is so
radical that It can not bo passed over.
It Is tbo expectation that objection
will be raised to numerous features of
tho conference report and that It will
be sent back to meet tho objections
made.
Unusual Features.
' One of the unusual and.unexncctod
things done In conference Is to exceot
sleeping car companies from the op
erations of the law. There have fcvvrj
some charges and counter charres
to who Is responsible for this udFi

Correspondence Dally Leader.
Washington D. C Juno E.- Tho
conference roport on tho statohood bill
which Was brought into tho House and
Senate Saturday now makos the lsauo
depondont on tbo result of tho con-
tost In tho Sonatc. That contest Is to
be Tuesday or Wednosday. No action
being taken yesterday owing to Gor-
man's death. Mr. Forakor will movo
that tho icport bo rejected and a new
conforonce conrmittoo appointed. Mr.
Bovorldgo has oxprotsed hlmsolf as
sonfldont that tho report will bo ac-
cepted; Mr. Forakor says ho is cor-
talu It will 1)0 rojoctod. Ono ot loss
authority may bo excused undor tho
circumstancos from venturing a pre-
diction as to what will bo tho outcome.
Ono Is romlndod of Mr. Bovcrldge'a
fallibility when he rooalls that Mr.
Bovorldgo wns'qulto confident tho om
nibus bill would go through tho Sen
ate and ono on tho other hnml too is
prompted to suspect that perhaps Mi.
Forakor Is too sanguine in his bollof
that tho Senate will resist this temp
tation to give oarly statehood to Okla-
homa and Indian Territory.
"Undoubtedly there are several sen-
ators who voted vlth Mr. Fontkor
when tho bill was undor consideration
before who now are disposed to ac-
cept this compromise. At loast thrco
of this kind have announced their pur-
pose to aocopt the compromise but
Mr. Forakor excluding those assorts
thore will be forty-nino votes in favor
of the motion to roject tho roport.
Subservient to Speaker.
'As to the Houso It of course Is
thoroughly subservlont to tho Spoakor
and though It would gladly yield abso-
lutely to tho Senate if loft freo ot
duress It will cringe boforo ono
flourish of tho Speaker's gnvol and by
adopting this roport sorve notico on
tho Senate that statehood Is posslblo
only by tho torms of the first Forakor
amendment. Thero aro a few Insur-
rectionists in the Houso who aro not
cowed by the Speaker. They made a
demonstration of their courago Satur-
day evening but It also demonstrated
their Impotenco before tho tyranny of
the Speaker.
It camo about Just as the conference
report wnB submitted to tho House.
Air. Murphy of Missouri a Republican
offered a resolution to discharge tho
committee and submit tho bill for tho
Immediate consideration on tho plea
that it was privileged. Immediately
the House was in a fronzy. Tho
Democrats cheored wildly. Tho Re-
publicans were dismayed. Mr. Payno
tho slow-witted floor loader aftor a
time iv.o ored sufficiently from his
shock to mako a point of order against
the motion. Tho Spoakor sustained It.
Mr. Murphy surged up nnd down tho
alslo trying to appeal fiom the de-
cision of tho chair. Some one moved
to adjourn. The noes were of twice
the volume of tho ayes but with one
tremendous whack with hie gavel the
Spoakor said the House had adjourned
and Mr. Murphy was left to raodltato
on his own impotence.
All But Two Democrats.
Tho agreement reached by tho ron-
ferooe was Igned by all of lliem ex-
cept that tho two Democrats. Sonator
Patterson and Mr. Moon of Tennessee
dissented from the provision to Insert
tho first Fomker amendment. The
first Forakor amendment a provision
which Mr. Foraker Introduced lu thp
laBt congress and again in tho begin-
ning ot this though he afterward
abandouod Jt provides merely that tho
constitution of tho proposed stato of
Arizona shall be submitted to a vote
of tho people at an election to be held
Nov. 0 and "that If a majority ot tho
people of each of the said territories
shall be for the constitution then and
in that event statehood shall be per-
fected by (he proclamation of the
President."
As It related to Indian Territory and
Oklahoma perhaps the most Important
particular of the agreement Is that It
virtually gives to Oklahoma a majority
of tbo delegates in tho constitutional
convention olnce it provides; that"
ftfty-Svo hall ba elected from Oktaho-
jaa. as equal number from Indian Ter
ritory and one from the Osage uatioa
which for all practical purposes Is a
part of Oklahoma.
Tho othor enllont "provisions of tho
agreement aro those:
The capital may not bo removed
from Guthrlo until 1913 but meantime
no stato funds aro to bo spout for tho
erection of public bulldfngs thero ex-
cept ns may bd Imperatively needed to
carry on state business. This 1b tho
substitute for tho Warron amendment
rospectlng tho salo of mineral lands In
Oklahomar That all stato lands v.il
unblo for minerals Including gas and
oil shall not bo sold by tho stato ot
Oklahoma prlor to 1915 but such
land may be leased for mineral pur
posos for periods not to oxeood five
years which loasoa must be mndo to
the highest btddors nfter public notice
of thirty dayB.
Tho Osao nation Is to bo one coun-
ty until Its lamiB aro allotted.
Other Provisions.
In tho main tho conferees accepted
these nmoudmohU. Ono of the con
ference provisions Is that tho dele
gates to tho constitutional convention
of tho proposed stato of Oklahoma
a.lmll bo 111 In number iUty-fivo to bo
oloeted by tho peoplo of tho torrltory
of Oklahoma flfty-fivo by tho people ot
Indian Territory and ono fiom tho
Osago nation. Tho Senate provision
detalllng-lho electron mnchlnory for
the election of dologatos to tho con-
stitutional convention and for tho laws
governing thoin was acceptod by tho
House conferees.
The Sonalo amendment rolntlng to
tho manner In which Intoxicating
liquors shall bo sold and providing for
tho ostnbllshmont of state apothecaries
In tbo Indian reservations In Oklaho-
ma and In all of tho torrltory now
known as Indian Tonltory wub nc-
coptod. WJiat Is known as tho Warron
nmondmont providing for n recogni-
tion of mlnoral oLlma on Btato lands
was so rovlscd that It answers the
abjections of tho peoplo of Oklahoma
More protests wero fllotl at or this
amendment than over any othor pro-
vlslonfi cf tho stntohooil bill. Tho gov-
crr.or of Oklahoma nnd tho school
trustees united In a protest and tho
nowBpajiorB of tho Sontliwoal woio
unnnlmf)u In voicing a protest. Prac-
tically a now nmondmont was drawn
by tho conferees. It piovldos that alt
stato lands vnlunblo for minerals in-
oludiuj& gas-mnd oil shall not bo sold
by thj stato of Oklahoma prior to 191B
but that such lands may bo leased for
mlnoral purposes for porlodB not to
exceed llvo yoars.
Leasing of Mineral Lands.
Tho leasing must bo mado by pub-
He competition advortlfiod for not loss
thnn thhty days undor stnlod bids
uml awarded to the hlghost responsi
ble biddor who shall pay a fixed loyal-
ty In addition to tho bonus offeroj In
his bid. Tho loaces can not ba. trans
ferred without tho consont In writing
of tho proper offlcors ut tho stato.
Agricultural lossoos of mlnoral lands
shall bo reimbursed by the mining
lessee for all damago dono to his loaso
by the mining oporatlons. Tho legisla-
ture of the stato may legislate on this
subject provided such legislation Is not
In conflict with tho net of congross.
.The Houso receded frpm Its dis-
agreement to tho court town nmond-
montB adopted by tho Sonnte. Tho
conference report adds Tulsa and
