HA WHEREVER THERE ARE There Appears to Be No Relief For the Anti-Statehood Crowd Even in the Improbable Event of the Defeat of the Agricultural-Statehood Bill by Over Talking, There Is a Probability of the More Than Ghost of the Statehood Bill in an Extra Session With a Still Greater Strength Than It Has Now A Case of "Strictly Up Against It." Washington. January 31 (Special). January comes to an cd with Senator Qur.y apparently as firmly seated in tha saddle in the senate as he was when the session began, two months ago, and his followers are rather more confident now thin when the great statehood 'light was begun. If Senator Quay him self has lost any of his confidence in victory he has net indicated it; on the contrary, he expresses to his close lieu tenants an unwavering faith in a suc cessful outcome. That he has net close ly followed the programme which hi adopted some weeks ago is admitted, but such departures as have been made from the settled plan have been merely tho changes in tactics made necessary by new situations as they arose. The senator is leading with much skill the most difficult coalition ever formed in me senate. The group back of him comprises all the democratic senators but two and about a third of the re publican membei ship, and not one of . . . i. . .. .. . i : . ... i , ,;k..u .m Th.. m. porting it from principle,, and many of them, especially republicans, are stand ing by it in the face of the most pow- ( erful inlloenccs, threats and persua- j sions. In addition to this, many sena- . tors, as the end of the session ap- ' preaches, are forced to see their own huls placed in peril. Senator Bever i Ige r.nd the leaders associated with him have calculated upon this very situation to wr rk Senate. r -Qnif's de feat. Thy know that the Pennsj lvania senator and the friends of statehood are making the fight purely as a. mat ter of justice to the ten itories, and it has been hoped thjt many would be led to desert the staleho 1 e-olors rather than have defeated the bills in which they In r e sp ecial i'ltcrrtst. To the sen- . ators who are c-e.r.sidered open to argu ments on this line the most artful pleadings have been marie. Senator McComas of Maryland and several others who heretofore have net been prominent in the contest are endeavor ing to do missionary work with re pulriicaa senators individually. i The argument is used that after all the advocates of statehood maf lie right; but there is such a conflict tf statements in relation to matters of as certainable fact that more time should be given for further investigation and consideration of the claims of New Mexico and Arizona. It is urged that ' no harm can be done by waiting until the next session of congress, when it is not impossible that a great majority ! of the senators will have decided that ; all three territories should be admitted, j Meantime, it is asked by these smooth pleaders, why should patty dissensions Ire created by a ejuestiin which can well j be postironed for tho action of the; Fifty-eighth congress? But if reports) and appearances go for anything, not a lepublican senator heretofore alignel' with Quay has grrne over to the other side. I In this review of the situation as it appears after t. wo months of brilliart lighting on both sides, it is not im proper to refer to a democratic weak ness which has given Senators Spooner, Bevericlge and their colleagues much comfort. It has not been easy at ail times for Heveridge- to provide the men in the game of talking the bill to death. Statehood is a question upon which very few senators, if they are adverse to admission, care to go upon record j senate today was devoted to exercises beyond having the ir votes recorded. T. j n connection with the acceptance from formally and forcibly express opinions the state of Maryland of statues of against the qualifications of a people 1 Charles Carroll and John Hanson, for self-government, and to bring for-lh'1-" will henceforth stand in statu ward reasons why they should be kept Pr' hal1 ot tlle national capitol. A j number of bills were parsed including - . . the house bill providing for tin- crea- O , . w TT I tiou ' a general staff for the army. VI H Tne staili"d bill was not considered Mi A JL X EL H .but it holds its place on tho calendar. F A R. M CLOS UNTIL M O N D A Y FEBRUARY 2nd. THEY TURN STONE WALLS under territorial government, is an un pleasant business, and it may have em barrassing consequences for a senator who is ambitious to be president or vice president. So Senator Beveiidge him self has had frequently to rush into the breach and talk in order to keep up tlv; fiction that the bill was under discus sion. He has been very successful in eliciting outbursts from senators who were for the bill, but Senator Spooner devised the scheme for Stirling up the democrats. Hy defending the presi dent's action in the Indianola postotttee case and prodding the democrats on the negro question generally, the dis cussion was easily switched for a tlin. and the same trick will probably work without limit, for the democrats ap pear never to see through it. Nobody on either side of the contest has been able, as yet. to explain how an cxtta session of congress is to be a void er! if Senator Quay persists in his policy of attaching the st -.tehood measure t i appropriation bills, and such trills nr" permitted to die in the senate. It is conceded that should cither the Cuban n I 'Hilliv u t ,uv e: .III'- miiiiiiii.ii 'l treaty fail of rat lin-at ion. Im (;f congress this spring, and it is thought that he would as reidily call the extra session should some of i1 In great appropriation bills f lil to. pass. Recognition of th probability of an early ses.-ion of the Fif ly-eight h con gress in case the siatche.-od bill fait-, ha.3 start d a discussion ;.s to the figure which a similar bill might 'cut in the extra ?e-;-;on. A n-view of t'.e mem bership cf the house cf representative. as it will be constituted in the nt ongress, a;id of the row senate art weU, leads to the conclusion that the nxt heuse will be fully as friendly to the territories as the present house has been. :nd it is eonced .1 th it the advo cates ef rr.jtr:;oorl will be even nior riinr.t-rous in th" senile tha?i now. It follows that If Senator Quay fails in his present programme, but a short time will ensue aft"r the Fifty-eight congress convenes before statehood f'rr the tc rritr-ries will acrain be one of the uppermost questions r.t the c lpitel. While !t might not be possib' to pas:-, a. statr h';rl bill at the extra session, it A certain that all of the preliminary work in the way of Introduction and commit tee reports would be finished, and the bill r.ctuelly could hn passed. And In any ovnt, almost immediately upon the beginning of the long session, the first of n'.xt .December, the contest would be en f:gain, to hold the boards until finally disposed of. And ther weuld never be a filibuster against the bill in either the extra session or the. long session. Put the air erf confidence among the statehood leaders Indici' tes that they fully expect to win at thi session. Fit ED SCHP.ADKH. AMENDMENT MADE. Anti-Statehood it 1 r. Now Up to tile Men. Washington, January 51. Senator Quay's proposal to amend the agricul tural appropriation bill was accom plished by the committee on agricul- ! ture today by an easy majority. The introduction of the report early next week is awaited with much interest as it is believed that the result of the statehood light can be then forecast. The greater part of the time of the MORGAN WANTS ANY CANAL. TIic sena te commit tee em foreign re lations today again discussed the Pan ama canal treaty but did r.ot reach a conclusion. The discussion was based 'entirely upon the amendments to the treaty which were ofi'ereel yesteray by Mr. Morgan, but action v.-a-j net taken on any of them. The senate adjourned until Monday. Mr. Mot-;an raid in Ihe cjuise of his discussion of thf question jthat his only purpose was to perfect I the tre ity so that there would be no ! double in tVie future. He declared that his inferer. !:i Ihe mcnosed canal was as prea as it I would be if the Nicaragua route bad ; teen choiC n. He felt, be said, that the , d. c umert in its present shape did not jcuard cletiil3 as careluiiy as it sh ru'd and be urged the amendments as cal culated to accomplish that end. THE HOUSE.

To a repre sentative erf tho Assoc! itet Press Parr.n Sternberg, the n-w clvrman minister, expressed tin" gratification he felt returnlnrr to the United States. "I am reminded of the changes that have t ikon pl;:ce since I was here more than t-n years ago as a military attache. Then your president was 'c civil service commissioner. I do not pese- es a prophet, but when I first met Mr. lirrrisevr.it I was deeply fmpress'-d i(h his untiring energy and sincerity of purpose. If was this combination which convinced me some dav that I should see him at the lieu el erf this great notion. "When I raid good-bye to him upon niy departure from Washington the first time, I sjid: 'When I again lon-gratule.t'- you. you will be one step nc.rer the White House.' '"On hearing of his appointment as assistant sec retary of the navy I wrote b-m: 'Permit me to congratulate yea on your see-ond step nearer to the presidency,' and when he was elected governor of New Ycrk I wrote him: 'Next time I offer you my congratula tions it will be- addressed to President Roosevelt.' "I knew he would be president b" rau!" Ikn?w the stuff he was made of. The same opinion prevails in Europe. Your picsident is the iK-rsonifie-ation of what is geiod, great and healthy in America. ' You appreciate the fact that I can not as yet talk of the primary object of my mission the conduct of the Ven ezuelan negotiations. I want the? Am erican people to know that Germany is as anxious for an early conclusion of this ejuestion as, any of the nego tiators. "I am glad to see the point made that the Monroe doe-trine is not in any way involved in the Venezuelan situation." o FED THE DOCTOIL. How He Made Use of Food. Sometimes it is the doctor himself who finds it wise to epiit the medicines and cure himself by food. "In looking around for a concentrated palatable prepared food I gert hold of Grape-Nuts tend immediately began using it four times a day, exclusively ferr breakfast with milk; for luncheon and dinner as dessert, nnrl a cup cm re tiring," says a physician of Mt.

Maxwell Southside Water Users Willing to Co operate Now That They Fully Un derstand the Provisions of the Ar ticles of Incorporation. The meeting at Tenure yesterday was one of the most enthusiastic that has been held during the whole water storage campaign in this valley. And that is one of the most pleasing inci dents of the campaign also for it had teen currently reported that the rtrongest opposition to the movement would be developed In that vicinity. Tho meeting indicated clearly that most of tho opposition is among a few who are honestly opposing the enterprise merely because they fail to understand fully the plan of operations an-1 are reasoning fiom fa No premises. The committer is working as fast as it can in preparation of the copy of the ai t'ades of Incorporation for filing purposes after which the books will be reaely for the signatures of water us ers. The book", however, cannot be prepared in time for the meeting her? Monday, as at first announced, nor will-they be ready for use by Tuesday's meeting in Mesa so these meetings as well as the one in Tempe yesterday are only In pursuance erf the campaign of education. The bo-ks though will s.urcly be ready sometime next week. The meeting yesterelay w as presided over by Carl Hayden who made very ;hrit ami pleasing introductory re maiks. Curry hall was filled to its full e-apacity. Every, chair was occupied ami seme people were ftanding. The rnc-ting lasted about 3 hours anil the cloyest attention was paid to the speakers,. Judge Kibley and George H. Maxwell, so whatever may b- said of the southsido people they are surely not apathetic to the ir.ovement. Judge Kibbey was the first speaker his address covering an hour and a half. He marl a magnificent address in explanation of ju-U what 'the- sign inqr of the artir s rices and dor s not niTin. The ."tumbling block that stands In the way erf some on the south ride is a feeding that when they sign the articles they deed away to the water users association, their rieht i land title to the Temp. canal, err any j other canal in which they may be in ; tTes-ic-i. This ij absolutely nut tho at lease. The land owners under each can al system have tr t ear the burden of 'K'-ttir.g the e.ir. :I ;ys!r m through 'which their landa are watered and i then they may or may not as they choo-c. merge it with the association. The re is no danger, therefore, of the land (!.vi:its under the Tenure having t buy and pay for the Arizona, or any ' ther canal. The association is form- , ri. men the land owners undei canal may, being members of the ass.o ciation and entitled to water, if they !a;ce to it. get their water at their head as thev row do or through the Jf they own their own a me system. canal, or if they choose to buy the eme tbiU suj filies them now, they may K they want to. merge it with the- asso ciation. If they du not wish to there '. r.o nr.v that can force (hat issue with them. It will be .i separate transac tion entirely. Put suppose they did buy a c anal and nu i gi- it or merge one they already owned, it would be mere ly transferring money from one pock et tu the other f ir it would be held and sacredly conrlueteil by themselves and In,' their own interest. Mr. Kibhey illustrated it by saying that signing the articles would iut rob them of their canal any mure than it would of their pocket knife. Mr. Maxwell spoke for over two hours and was received with great enthusiasm. Seemingly the points that received the best approval were the very ones that explained away the false grounds of the few peo ple who are in oppasit'on to the move ment. In that fact lies the greatest encouragement "or it shows that the Tempo people are as much in earnest as anybody in their desire for a storage reservoir. All they wanted was i little be tter understanding and it is believed tha most of them now have it. Mr. Maxwell opened his remarks by say ing he was not thej-e to plead with them to sign the articles of incorpora tion. On the contrary he knew that the, Tonto reservoir was going to be built and he was there to explain the ar ticles ef Incorporation as well as possi ble so they would of their own impulse desire to partie ipate in the advantages that are t i follow for if they refused their children - ami grand children would certainly have occasion to rise up and curse them for the terrible mis take. There is no coercion in the mat te r but cn the contrary a great desire to have them accept that which is to prove of inestimable value to them. Tho gedden opportunity is offered and to leject it will work disaster on ne one but those who refuse to co-operate. Tha committee yesterday sent out le tters to all those who were selected for incorporators calling attention to the urgency of prompt action and re cjuestir.g them to call at the commit tee's office in the Nicholson building -and sign the article's on or before next Friday, the date when it is hoped they mi'y be ready for filing. . . l o COPPHII CONVERSION. Decision That Royojllics Have Been Paid on an Old Process. Helena, Mont., January 31. Judge Knowlet. in the United States court to day decided that the Pierre Manhes process of converting commercial cop per from copper matte, which was as signed to Franklin Farrell and the late Achille F. Migeon, was in all respects similar to the Po'semer process of con- verting ir on into steel, and that . the Posten and Montana company, against which suit was brought to recover fo an infi ingement of the patent, had a right to use the process. ' Farrell and Migeon claimed a roya'ty Of $2 a ton on all copper matte treated by tho process since it was patented i t 1S92. All copper produced in the United States is converted by Manhes" patent, and it is estimated that the amount involved, if damages could be collected for all copper so reduced in this coun try, would be In tho neighborhood of J2,ooo,tx;0. o CLERICAL MISTAKES In the Copy of the Alaskan Treaty. Boundary Washington, January 31. At the re ejuest erf Secretary Hay the senate In executive session today returned the Alasken boundary treaty for the cor rection ot two clerical errors. One of these is in the matter of the title of King Edward and the other consists of a description in the preamble of the tribunal, created by the treaty, as the tribunal of arbitration, whereas, owing to the fact that there is no umpire, U is not so regarded. As soon as the document can be cor rected it will be returned. Meantime, the favorable report made upon the treaty by the committee 'on foreign r? lations stands, and it will not be neces sary to send the corrected document to the committee. n TO PUY FROM SPAIN. Ce rtain Pi op i ty Left in Departure. the Hurry of Washington, January 31. In answer to the Spanish minister's offer to sell, the war department has concluded to purchase certain proportions of heavy ordnance now In place in the fortifica tions of Porto Kico, still the property of the Spanish government. The war ejepartment last spring con cluded to make similar pure-hase of a part of the Spanish eirdnance in Cuba, but with the turning over of the isl and to the Cubans, the United States has no longer any interest in keeping the ordnance and if the Cubans wish to retain it they must purchase it from the Spanish g ivernment. o AFTER LLOYD FAMOUS SHOOTING All Shots Directed at Eim and All Took Effect. San F.crnardino, Ca'., January 31. C. R.

The shooting which was very sensational, has greatly excited the town, as Lloyd is the tic best prop erly owner and one of the mcrst in!lu- inyjtntial men of this city. Three shots took c.Tect, one in the hack passing through the left lung, one in the arm, and one in the leg. Shortly after one o'clock this after noon Kcxall and his brother-in-law, Horace Little, of Ontario, drove to "The Shack." Lloyd's home, in this city, Poxall entering the house anil Little returning to town. No eiuarrel was heard. Suddenly Lloyd dashed from the house screaming, "protec t me, protect me, he will kill me." P'jxall followed him with a revolver in his hand. Jim Ferre and his son. Frank, wen rasping in a buggy. Frank jumped from the buggy and ran toward Poxall. Llody jumped inte a vacant seat with the cider Pcrre, who whipped the horse into a run. Hy this time Poxall hail approached within i few feet of the buggy and began firing. The first shot he fired at the horse but it went wild. Tin second struck Lloyd In the arm, the third passed between his left arm and the body of John F"rre. The fourth entered Lloyd's hack on the left side passing through his left lung. The fifth struck Lloyd's right leg. Ferre drove direct to the sheriff's office. Lloyd was taken to Marlborough hospital and the sheriff drove to "the Shack" wtVre Poxall surrendered. He was taken to jail. None of the parties connected will give a r;"son for the shooting. o COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL Nov.- York,. January 31. The stock market was a merely ncrminal affair to day. Seime of the tra'lers who sold short yesterday bought to rover.

The Journal des Debats takes a simi lar view and remarks: "The multipli cation of delays tends to confirm the view that the allies do not sincerely de sire a settlement of the trouble." o THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.
