MANY DIFFICULTIES MET
The Two-State Compromise
Seems to Please Nobody.
NEW STATES FORCIBLY OBJECT
Finn of Subsequent Separation of
Arizona nnd A'ctt Mexico Demo
crat Don't Cnrr If Tliere la
an Extra. Session After All.
The application of obstructive tactics
to Uie canal treaty has caused renewed
efforts In the Senate to compromise on
atatehood.
The plan ts to aiiritt two states, with
provision for the subsequent separation
of Arizona and New Mexico.
This plan Is opposed In several quar
ters, and the Democrats refuse to com
mit themselves on It.
Many Democrats are Indifferent to an
extra session, which is the Inevitable
alternative to a compromise on state
hood and the ratification of the canal
and Cuban treaties. They say It would
afford an opportunity to discuss 'trusts
and tariff revision.
WASHINGTON". Feb. 23. Negotiations
for a compromise on the statehood ques
tion In the Senato continue, but there are
endless difficulties In the -way. One of the
greatest of these Is the readiness of the
Democrats to face the alternative of an
extra session, as it would afford them an
opportunity to raise the trust and tariff
questions.
The prooscd compromise is to admit two
states, one to be Oklahoma, according to
Its present boundaries, with a proviso
that the Indian Territory shall be added
to Oklahoma In 1905. when the treaty
obligations with the Indians will not. be in
the way. The other state la to be Com
posed of New Mexico and Arizona, under
the name of Montezuma, with a proviso
that when the present Territory of Arizo
na has a population of aw.OW people It
shall become a separate stato, providing
that the people of the territory affected
vote in favor of being divided from New
Mexico.
Senator Spooner has been entrusted with
the legal questions involved, especially In
regard to the rights of the Indian tribes
In Indian Territory. He has been in con
sultation with the Attorney-General and
other law officials of the Government fa
miliar with the subject, and the bill when
drawn will be based on Information which
Senator Spooner obtains. While this com
promise will bo acceptable to the Repub
licans, there Is yet considerable, doubt
about the Democrats, and bo far as can
be learned they will oppose it with vigor,
which means defeat at this stage of the
session.
It has been suggested that when the
compromise plan Is formulated the Demo
crats may hold a conference, and if a ma
jority should agree to accept the bill the
minority will yield. However, this Is only
conjectural, but the men who are manag
ing tho situation express the hope that
some agreement can be reached.
"Will Sot Hurry Morjran.
The effect upon the canal treaty will at
once be felt, as Senator Quay and other
statehood men will not try to prolong the
debate on this measure. At the same time
Senators served notice yesterday upon
those who are pressing the treaty that
Senator Morgan should have full oppor
tunity to present his iew3 and amend
ments to tho treaty In an orderly manner
and without undue pressure. Senators
Teller, Dubois and Rawlins were especially
emphatic when making these declarations,
saying that even if the treaty had to go
over until after March 4 the Alabama
Senator should not be subjected to undue
pressure and strain.
The Republican leaders conferred all
day on tho subject of the statehood com
promise and most of the Democrats were
informed of the general terms of the
proposition. To all questions as to wheth
er they would accept such a compromise,
they said they wanted to see a definite
proposition and to knew from whom it
came, then they would be in a position
to confer and decide. On the Republican
side It is found that two Republican Sen
ators, Beverldgo and Nelson, both mem
bers of the committee on territories, are
very loath to accept any compromise save
that which the majority originally pre
sented. Their position is that the omni
bus bill Is defeated and that Senator
Quay, who has-been so persistently press
ing it. has lost strength by his course in
supporting Senator Morgan during the
latter" s fight against the canal treaty.
Senator Spooner reported to his col
leagues that there was no .legal difficulty
In the way of admitting Oklahoma and
afterward attaching the Indian Territory
to the state. In this same connection
there is a proposition to have Included
In the legislation a provision for a trust
school fund for Indian Territory, to be
provided by the Government. This is to
meet the objection raised against Indian
Territory that it has no school lands and
ho grants to be made for public schools.
The division of New Mexico and Arizona
Is to be made upon proclamation by the
President, when there Is a population of
300,000 In Arizona, but objection has been
raised by the Democrats to this sugges
tion as it now stands, because no pro
vision Is made for a census and it "would
be at least 1910 before any test could be
made.
Ready for Extra Session.
During the day efforts were made to
find Delegate M. A. Smith, of Arizona, to
ascertain what his views would be as to
tho proposed compromise, but he was not
at the Capitol. Ho has been decidedly
opposed to any such move all along, and
today Senator Blackburn told some of his
colleagues that the Joining of the two ter
ritories would not be acceptable, and said
it would cause strong opposition.
Another feature of tho Democratic posi
tion developed today was that many
Democrats are Indifferent as to an extra
legislative session of Congress, while some
think that it would not be bad policy to
have such a session and have the subject
of trust legislation and revision of the
tariff discussed. This Idea was communi
cated to somo of the leaders today and
caused considerable uneasiness. It Is
realized that, with the business now pend
ing In the Senate, very few men could
force enough appropriation bills over to
cause an extra session of the Fifty-eighth
Congress. At the same time, "the members
expressed their opinion that before the
coming week has parsed the blockade will
be raised in some manner and all neces
sary legislation disposed of by the 4th
of March.
RESEARCH IN MEDICINE.
Object of Great Institution in lie
Erected !) Rockefeller.
NEW YORK. Feb7a.-Dr. I. E. Hoyt,
secretary of the board of directors of the
Rockefeller Institute, made public tonight
the detailed plans of tho project ho far as
they havo been determined. These plans
embrace a scheme for an institution of
medical and pathological research which,
it Js said, will be without an equal in
this country and unexcelled In any coun
try In the world. The gifts of John D.
Rockefeller to the Institute thus far ag
gregating $1,200,000, are considered only
a Beginning, ana the understanding Ts
that Mr. Rockefeller stands ready to
finance the institution for any amount
necessary to carry out the work. The
institution will occupy four city blocks be
tween East River and Avenue A and Six
tieth and Sixty-fourth streets.
The present plans, according to the an
nouncement of Dr. Holt, call for the im
mediate erection of a laboratory for In
vestigation in all departments of medical
research and the building of a hospital
In which special groups of patients may
be treated to develop new methods for
the treatment of disease. Popular lec
tures will also be established. Dr. Holt
says that John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. is also
interested with his father in the plan, but
denies that the institution Is Intended as
a memorial to the elder Rockefeller's
grandson. Jack McCormlck. who died a
year nnd a half ago. The gifts of Jl.200,000
were made by Mr. Rockefeller In 130L
Dr. Holt, In his statement, reviews the
work of organizing the Institution, and
confirms the story that Professor Simon
Flexner. professor of pathology .la the
University of Pennsylvania, ha been
chosen director of tho laboratory. Dr.
Flexner will begin his work at the Insti
tute In July. Ho will spend the greater
part of his first year In Europe, durinr
the construction -of the laboratory build
ing in New York. This building will be.
started eo as to bo ready by October 1.

Factional Fight in Washing

RAILROADS CONTROL SENATE
Can Prevent Pnssnjie of Commission
Dill for nt Least Fonr Years
Holdover Senators nrly All
Anti-Commission.
OLTMPIA, Feb. a.-(Staff correspond
ence.) The events of the past week in the'
Washington Legislature have materially
aided In tightening up the factional lines
of the Republican party in this statel The
vote on tho Indefinite postponement of the
railroad commission bill in the House
smoked out a few who have all along'
seemed in doubt as to "where they were
at." The refusal of the House committee
to get the grain Inspection bill out' of-
committee has exposed the hand ot.one or J
two more, and the railroad alliance In
the Senate has been perfected to a point
where it is practically invincible. The
paramount issue through the last cam
paign was the McBrlde commission bill.
The commission bill Is temporarily at
least a corpse, but the Governor Is still
a lUing Issue. He has control of the
House by a small majority. His antago
nists have control of the Senate by a
larger majority when the proportionate
size of the two houses Is considered.
His friends In the House have demon
strated their ability to pass all kinds of
bills in the House, and the Senate, when
ever occasion demands, conveys these
bills to a rapidly enlarging cemeterv for
the Interment of unpopular measures. Ex- j
eluding the Democrats from the classifi
cation, and the antl-McBrlde people have
by far the best talent in both houses.
This was demonstrated by the ease with
which the minority faction In the House
put the commission bill out of the way
for sereral days, and the fact that It was
revived after almost losing Its life In com.
mlttee of the whole is not' in the slightest
due to the sagacity of tho men who had it
in .charge, but rather to a very broad rul
ing of the Speaker, who Is very friendly
to the measure.
'ZVo Coramlsxlun 11111 for Four Yenrs.
The McBrlde railroad commission bill
Is dead not only "for the coming two years,
but for at least four years. Nothing short
of a miracle can work such a political
revolution. as would be necessary to forca
the antl-Mctlride people from their Im
pregnable position In the Senate, and If
the Governor -"whistles up the same old
tune." as his friends assert that he 'will
two years hence, his pet measure will
again' be snowed under. A glance back
ward at what the anti-Commission forces
had to contend with and what they aci
compltshcd Illustrates the comparatively
easy light which is ahead of them two
years hence. Last Fail they entered the
fight with but six hold-over Senators on
their side of the fence, making It abso
lutely necessary . that they should secure
IS Senators who would not favor a com
mission" bill.
The McBrlde forces with the aid of the
state patronage and sonic of the National '
patronage, and with the-promise of every-
thing from Judgeships down to fish hatch- '
erle3, were unable to prevent their op- I
ponents from securing 23. Serintors. Two J
years hence it will be impossible for Mc- (
Bride to force his commission plank into i
some of the county platforms where it
was Inserted last year, 'and his state pat
ronage will be no greater and the Na
tional patronage available will be less
ened. This cannot do otherwise than
make him a weaker foe than he was last '
Fall, and yet his opponents already have
1" hold-over Senators who are everlast- 1
Ingly opposed to a railroad commission. !
With this force for a starter all that Is
necessary Is the election of four Sena
tors, and It requires only a limited
knowledge of mathematics nnd politics to
discover that It Is a much easier matter I
to elect four men under favorable c)r- j
cumstances man it is to elect 15 under
adverse circumstances.
The Power of Patronngr.
The commission men are not Idle, how
ever, and they are working every con"-;
celvable scheme for Increasing their
power. It Is given out very straight by
men who are supposed to be In a position
to know, that even should the Durham
grain Inspection law get .through both

Senator-elect Charles W. Fulton came
down from Salem yesterday afternoon, and
from the time he arrived at the Imperial
Hotel until S o'clock he did not have an
opportunity to satisfy the Inner man. One
hundred attempts to escape to the dining
room were balked by 100 men who wanted'
to see him and tell him "how' It hap
pened." "I 'knew you would come, out all right.
Senator," said the first, "but It looked
rather gloomy for a few days."
"Yes, it did." admitted the Senator
elect, "but I never had any doubt as to
the result."
"You deserve It, old man. for the work
you have done for the Republican party,"
said No. 2.
"I hope the Senatorshlp Is the award of
tho whole party," and there was a second
handshake. "I shall do the best for the
party, and the people "of Portland will
have no complaint to make of me."
"Senator, you are now In the swim,"
said No. 3. "I am glad to see you in of
fice, for you are one of the two men in the
race that really earned It,"
"I am glad to hear you say so," and the
Senator extended the palm in the same
friendly way that he would if he were
still a candidate.
"But pardon me," said the caller; "I
have to amend my statement I mean that
I would rather see you or the other lead
ing candidate elected than any -men In the
Republican party. I am a Democrat,
and
"Ha, ha!" laughed Mr. Fulton. "I see
you and I are. in slang phrase, up against
"Not eo much as that," said the caller.
"I suppose we shall always be friends, al
though we may be enemies politically."
"Certainly," said the Senator. "We
shall, always be frlenda and we shall
never let politics Interfere with our friend
ship." "That's my opinion." said the visitor.
"But. Senator, if I should be in the Leg
islature when you come up for re-election,
politics would cut a big figure with me;
that is, in public life."
"But that is a long time away," laughed
the Senator. "A man who can tell where
he will be six years hence must have
wonderful foresight an endowment which
neither you nor I have."

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. a. Senator Mitchell today
dictated the following:
"I am greatly gratified over the election
or Hon. Charles W. Fulton to the United
States Senate. I am doubly gratified from
the fact that personally I am under great
political obligations to Mr. Fulton, he
having been In the past in all my con
testsexcept the llrst, he was not then in
the state my able and efficient supporter,
and in the second, place, because I believe
him to bo one of the most thoroughly
equipped men in Oregon for the Doeltion.
"While In the campaign Just closed some
opposition was made from Portland, based
upon the assumption that because of "Mr.
Fulton's residence In Astoria he would not
be able to properly represent the great
commercial Interests of Portland, per
sonally I never tRQk.ans,tock.iathJa as
sumption. Upon the contrary. 1 know
Mr. Fulton to be big enough and broad
enough to represent the whole state and
every section of the state Just as faith
fully and as ably as he will represent the
local Interests of Astoria. 1 believe the
people of Oregon, Irrespective of party or
of loenlltv. ha
gratulate themselves over Mr. Fulton's
election, w nne the Republican party will
find In him. In this larger field of action,
a most able and Influential supporter."

OREGON CITY. Or.. Feb. 2l.-SpecIal.-The
election of Charles W. Fulton to the
United States Senate Is approved by a
large majority of the residents of Clack
amas County. His election was doubted
here, and all during tho fight his ultimate
defeat was looked for. It was not expect
ed that his followers would stand by him
to the last, and the talk on the streets
was that Brownell and the Representa
tives from this county would go to Bourne
In the end. A large amount of money
changed hands on the result
It seems that Representative Paulsen
will receive no more places of political
preferment while Senator Brownell and
his friends are In the ascendency In this
count- and this condition Is likely to
exist for many years to come. Republi
can leaders here say that Paulsen should
have followed the course of Huntley and
Webster by voting for ex-Governor Geer
on the first ballot, and then changing to
Fulton and staying with him. Instead of
being the only one of his followers to de
sert him.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Feb. 21. Representative Bank
head, of Alabama, thinks the Democrats
of the iSenate are laying .the foundation
for future political trouble In, the South
by supporting Quay In his attempt to put
the statehood bill on the postofnee ap
propriation bill as .a rider. He says it Is
unwise for them to go on record as favor
ing political riders on general appropria
tion bills, for. with the constantly grow
ing desire on the part of the Republican
leaders to reduce the Congressional rep
resentation from Southern States as a
result of the present agitation of the
race problem, their action may return to
haunt them;
He seems confident that on earnest 'ef
fort is to be mule In the, next Congress
to reduce Southern representation as an
offset to the Democratic disfranchisement
of the negro. The President, he says,
takes that view, and is supported by Re
publican leaders In the Senate and House,
as well as out of Congress, and they are
looking for a pretext to attach a political
rider to a general appropriation bill which
will reduce the representation of the South
in Congress.

"Who Renounce Them,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Feb. 21. William Jennings Bryan
flitted through Washington today.
"It Is not necessnry for me to say again
that I will not under any conditions again
be a candidate for the Presidency," said
he.
He la becoming somewhat piqued be
cause Republican papers In the East lave
been quick to call attention to the fact
that his party has not asked him again to
be their candidate. Bryan has nothing to
say about the Parker, Hearst or Olney
booms. He added:
"I do not expect to see any man nomi
nated on the Democratic ticket during tho
present generation who Is ashamed of or
apologizes for the position of the Demo
cratic party In the campaigns of 1S0S and
1S00. If we cannot win with leaders and
conditions In harmony with the views of
a large majority of the party, we certain
ly cannot win when the conditions and
leaders are utterly opposed to a large ma
jority of the party."
Asked if those who believe In the Kan
sas City platform can control the next
convention, he said:
"I do not see how they can fall to do so,
unless they are deceived and misled Into
the support of men whose 'opinions are in
the background."
