Washington, Dec. 15.—The smate
committee on territories by a vote of
C> to 4 today authorized a favorable
report on the statehood bill providing
for admission into the union of Okla-
homa and Indian territory, to be
known as the state of Oklahoma, and
of Arizona and New Mexico, to be
known as the state of Arizona. The
bill is the one originating in the house
in the second session of ihe Fifty-
eighth congress, but has been amend-
ed materially by the senate com-
mittee.
The most important changes made
in the house bill are the insertion of
a clause prohibiting* traffic in liquor
for a period of ten years in that part
of the proposed state of Oklahoma
now known as Indian territory, and
the elimination from the house bill of
ail provisions with reference to suff-
rage except the following:
“That said state shall never enact
tural normal school in educational
institutions to be he benefited by lai d
reservations in Oklahoma.
Requiring that any lands sold for
support of public schools he sold at
public sale in tracts of lfid acres or
less. The provision giving prefer
ence to lessees9 at time of sale is
stricken out
The contest over the locati »n of the
circuit and district courts of the west-
ern district of Oklahoma whs settled
by providing for alternate sessions
of the courts at Guthrie and Okla-
homa City.
The provision of the Oklahoma bill
for the appropriation of $5,000,000
for the benefit of the common schoo s
has been incorporated in the portion
of the bill which admits New Mexico
and Arizona as a state.

Array, via Fusau, Dec 14 —Every
part of the city and harbor of Fort
Arthur is visible from 203-meter hill.
The streets of the city are deserted
ami but few s -Idlers are doing patrol
duty. Many buildings have been
burned and others shattered.
The shelters of the harbor present a
strange appearance with the turrets,
masts and funnels of warships show-
ing just above the water. There is
not a vessel afloat, in the harbor. The
docks and buildings on the water
front are torn anc burned.
The Japanese shells search every
part of the city and harbor.

ested is called to meet in Chandler ;
Dec. 24, at which time the committee f
hopes to be able to give out some deli-1 ^
nite information concerning this very
crooked Hream and to start something
that will probably result in a survey
of the country at least, and a determi-
nation of the possibility of securing
drainage for the Hooded lands.
After a proper topographical sur-
vey has been made and the necessary
expense of drainage has been deter-
mined it will then be time to begin to
devise means unit plans for operation,
lu the meantime let everybody be
thinking. Congress of the United
Slat s his at various times made large
appi opriations of money fop the re-
clamation ot both flooded and arid
lands, among which is that being now
used for irrigation in several western
states, including western Oklahoma.
It. is thought possible that by pioper
f an A 1 ; application a portion of this might he
secured. If not, it is possible that

New York, Dec. 15.—A circular
prepared by the trustees of the vrill of
Cecil Rhodes, specifying the condi-
tions for the ho'ding of Rhodes’ schol-
arships for 1905, has been given out to
state colleges by the New York state
committee of selection, of which Pres-
ident Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia has been elected chairman.
Presidents Schurman of Cornell and
Raymond of Union are the other mem- j
hers of the committee
The circular states that the next
qualifying examinatiun for scholars
in the United States will be held Jan.
17 and 18, 1905. The selection of
scholars is to be completed before the
end of March and those selected will
begin residence at Oxford in October,
1905.
The examinations will be held in
each state and territory to which
any laws restricting or abridging the j scholarships are assigned, at centers
right of suffrage on account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude.”
As passed by the house the bill
contained exceptions but also specific-
ally permitted the proposed states, if
they so desired, to abridge suffrage
on account of sex. The provision as
to sex caused so many protests from
women suffragists .hat the committee
struck out the provision in this sub-
ject, thus leaving no reference what-
to be lixed by the local committee of
selection. This examination is not
competitive, but simply qualifying
and is intended to give assurance that
every elected scholar is able to pass
the first examination

for the asking. Defeated in that, we
have still our own good legislature to
| fall back on, and finally when we have
failed otherwise, we can do like the
farmer who successively failed to se-
cure reapers for his ripening grain,
as the old story goes, we cau roll up
our sleeves and go after it ourselves.
Then the qnail will move he* nest with
the full assurance that the harvest
will be reaped.
The drainage of these lauds will
mean a great deal to the
Lincoln county as well as the laud
owners olong the va[ley. The estimate
by the committee of annual
to crops will run as high, as $000 per
quarter section. It mean? ♦ he cultiva-
tion of thousands of acres of the most
fertile land of Oklahoma, which in its
present condition is practically worth-
less. A great deal of this overflow
land has never been put into cultiva-
tion and those who have attempted to
cultivate the more lively portions of
it have run the extreme risk of los-
ing their time and expense or there
is seldom a year that at some time
the crop is not completely inundated
with water.
There are a great many causes
that contribute to this overflow which
could be easily removed by the farm-
ers themselves without much expense
and diminish the volume of the over-
flow very materially, and if this agi-
tation should do no more than to
stimulate a combined effort for tnis
purpose it will be a success. But
what the tarmers want is to go to
the bottom of the whole trouble and
straighten the stream. There are places
where the water travels miles around
bends, and one could almost throw a
stone across the neck of the peninsula
| it makes. Near Sac and Fox there is
l s lid to be a place where the water
goes a distance of 134 miles around a !
bend which is li miles at its narrow- 1
est place. These short crooks are the i
greatest hindrance to passage of the |
water, and if a few of the worst ones
were removed it would doubtless over-
come the whole uitticulty.
It will probably not be wise to ask
that congress or legislature hear the
whole burden of this matter, but the
people are entitled to assistance if
j they show a willingness to help them-
selves. We heard of one man, the
| owner of overflow land, who refused
to sign any petition saying it was!
useless to try. We remember that he j
is the same man who refused to assist !
! in an effort several years ago to se-
cure legislation to guarantee some of
! these same men their fractions of land
I lying across the creek, at the opening
! of the Kickapoo country. Be refused
'then to 9ign any petition, spying it
! was useless, hut the legislation was
justly secured and the land owners
j are enjoying their fractions. The
thing to do is to make the effort,
i Nothing can he lost and all is to be
gained by so doing.
