CftJahoma and Indian Territory are Combined in One State De? spite the Treaty With the Five Civilized Tribes of In? dians-Arizona and Kew Mexico Also United ie One State. Washintgon, April 19.- After a de? bate, etxended through the entire ses? sion, the House today passed the State? hood bill, providing for the joint State? hood of Oklahoma and Indian Territory under the name Oklahoma, and of Arizona and New Mexico under the name Arizona. In discussing the role which had been reported by the com? mittee on rules, providing for the im? mediate consideration of the bill, Mi. Williams, the minority leader, declared tba? no Republican had any idea that the bill would become a law at this session. Ia opposing the rule. Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, declared that the bill was as intensely wicked and partisan measure, which, if passed, would vio late the plighted faith avid honor of the United States to the five civilized tribes of Indians in the matter of treaty obligations. He inquired of the Republicans if they were going to pass the bill in violation of their party atfplorm and of treaty obligations. . The Territorial Delegates in the House, ha maintained, had protested "until the hoer of coercion by the Republi? cans to meet political exigencies. ' ? Denying that the Republicans had been guilty of bad faith, Mr. Dalzell said the til would take its course as a party measure, because it was report? ed by the majority of the committee, submitted to a party caucus and brought into the House, pursuant to a nile adopted by that caucus. He justi? fied the measure on the ground "that we are endeavoring to sustain the re? lative power of the Senat? and House of Representatives in legislation. ' ' The rule was adopted-150 to 111 a strict party vote. The bill then was taten up. Speeches were made for the bill by Messrs. Spr. olding, of North Dakota ; Sterling, of Illinois: Curtis, of Kansas ; McGuire, of Oklahoma, and Rodey, of New Mexico ; and against the bill by Messrs. Grosvenor, of Ohio; Reid, of Arkansas; Lloyd, of Missouri; Needham, of California; Russell, of Texas, and Wilson, of Arizona. The third reading of the - bill had been directed by the Speakjer when one of the most amusing incidents of the session occurred. Mr. Moon in? quired if the third reading of the bill was to be by title only. In the midst of anelaborate decision the Speaker turned to the parliamentarian, Mr. Hinds, for farther advice, and then announced that he would resolve the whole question in favor of the indivi? dual privilege of each member, any one of whom could demand the read? ing of the bilL Mr. Williams, the minority leader, jocularly inquired of the Speaker if his decision had been arrived at ' ' after consultation.1 ' The Speaker promptly replied that it had been, and he mt the Bouse in an uproar when he added: "The skilled parliamentarian who has been at this desk for many years can give the Chair,'5 and, altera pause, "and the gentleman from Mississippi cards and spades and then have a mountain of parliamentary knowledge left" It was some moments before the applause and laughter which greeted this sally subsided. Mr. Maddox, of Georgia, demanded .-the reading of the Dill, which was he-. gan, but later withdrew his request. Speaker Cannon further convulsed the House when he asked: "Is there any other gentleman who desires the bill read?" No one responding the bill was put upon its passage, the Democrats demanding the yeas and nays. The bill was passed-147 to 104-a strict party vote.

Summary of Returns From Cotton Ginners-Boll Weevil Caused Loss of Nearly Fifty Million. , Washington, April 20.-The census bureau today issued the final derailed report on cetton ginning in the United States for the crop of 1903. It shows for the first time that the reclaiming of cotton by thrashing unopened bolls whose vitality had been destroyed by frosts or insects effecting a saving of this inferior cotton this season in northern Tesas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma, estimated at 37,695 bales. Computed on the basis of three fourths of the average price of strict middling the value added to the crop by\cotton obtained from these un? opened bolls is palced at $1,351.737. Notwithstanding the destructive effects of the boll weevil and boll worm and early froste the Texas crop in 1903 shows a decrease of only 26,932 bales or a little over 1 per cent, as compar? ed with 1902. Careful inquiry re? garding the boll weevil has developed the fact that this insect is now in 96 of the 17S cotton producing counties of Texas and destroyed cotton of the crop of 1903 amounting to 739,360 bales, which is the difference between an ample'and a short crop for the country. Including the Taine of the ssed, he loss is equivalent to $49,272,989. A conservative estimate of the loss resulting to Texas from the imperfect weather conditions which affected that section in common with other cotton States is placed at 22.7,945 bales. The proportioniof the Texas crop to the totale cop increased from 23.5 per cent, in 1902 to 251. per cent in 1903. WOLILQ BE DEMOCRATIC BOSS.

Fourteen Acres in the Wholesale District Burned-The Whole City Was in Danger. _ \ Toronto, April 2C-The total loss by the fire which destroyed the wholesale district of Toronto last night will, according to the most conservative esti? mates reach 812,000,000; the total in? surance is $8,360,000. The area swept by tho fire embraced 14 acres and from i 5,000 to 7,000 presons are thrown out j of employment. The work of teari ng \ down the dangerous walis was began this afternoon. From the time the fire started on i the north side of Wellington street, a I short distance east of Bay street in the i E. & S. Currie neckwear manufactur? ing plant, until it burned itself out at daybreak, there was not a moment when a shift of the wind to the north would not have resulted in the destruc? tion of the greater part of the city. The custom house, a four-story stone building at the corner of Yonge and Front streets, was the barrier that stopped the prorgess of the flames toward the eastern end of Front street Fatal Fight in Barnwell County. Barton, S. C., April 19.-Informa? tion cf a tragedy, in which three lives were lost, has been received here from Barnwell county.

St. Petersburg, April 19, 4.30 p. m. -No confirmation has been received here up to this hour of the reported arrival of a big fleet of Japanese trans? ports in the Gulf of Pe Chi Li. Re? ports differ widely as to the destina? tion of the fleet, Kin Chow, situated on the narrowest part of the Liao Tung peninsula, above Port Arthur; Kai-Chou, south of New Chwang and New Chwang itself being mentioned by the various reports. In the best informed military quar? ters the correspondent of the Associ? ated Press finds considerable scepti? cism in regard to the reported Japan? ese landing in Liao-Tung Gulf and an inclination to think it has been too widely advertised to prove more than a ruse, if a -h,eavy landing occurs now, ecxept in Corea, the Russian authorities are more disposed to be? lieve that it will be near Taku-Shan. Japanese transports are expected daily at the mouth of the Yalu River. The reports that there are 5,000 Cos saks in the neighborhood of Gensan are denied. The Russian cavalry is scouting along the east coast of Corea, but not so far down as Gensan. Lack of transporation facilities, ac? cording to the Russian advices, are de? laying the Japanese. Both in Japan and Corea the roads are in a dread? ful state. The Japanese horses are dying by the' hundreds, it will be impossible to bring up regular field artillery, and they will have to rely on mountain guns. % 'i &g? Gen. Kuropatkin's dispositions, the general staff says, are progressing rapidly and satisfactorily. The troops concentrating below Mukden are being sent to their allotted positions. About 30,000 are employed in guarding the railroad and that number is considered sufficient. The Japanese are making desperate efforts to blow up bridges and cripple the road. SCRAPS OF NEWS FROM THE WIR. Appearance of Ships Off Potinsa Appears Suspicious to Ku ropatkin. St Petersburg, April 20.- What may tum out to be the anticipated flank? ing movement of the Japanese troops is the appearanec of a number of Japa? nese ships off Potinsa, near the Gulf of Ching-Tai-Tse, as reported to the emperor today by Gen. Kuropatkin. Military experts here have long re? garded that vicintiy as the probable point of disembarkation of the second Japanese expedition. It is not far away from Takushan (12 miles to the east), and connects by road with Port Arthur (150 miles to the southwest)* and Feng Huan Cheng (50 miles to the northwest), where the Russians made their first obstinate resistance. Though the Japanese are building entrenchments on the Yalu it is be? lieved they will advance soon. The arrangements for a turning movement are complete and experts say that such a movement could properly be given at Takushan, as Feng Huan Cheng lies at the angle of an equilaterral triangle with Takusan and the mouth of the Yalu at the angles at the base of the triangle. The Japanese disembarkation undoubtedly will be covered by war? ships and the Russians recognize that it will be impossible to prevent it. "We will strike after they have landed," grimly said a member of the general staff Gen. Kuropatkin is aware of the strategic importance of the vicintiy cf ; Takushan and it is understood that he has made his arrangements according ly. QUIET ON THE YALU. St. Petersbrug, April 20.-Gen. Kuropatkin has sent the following telegram to the emperor: "Gen. Kashtalinsky reports as fol? lows on April 19; "'Allis quiet on the Yalu. The Japanese are throwing up entrench? ments opposite Golutsy and further to the north. " "The numbers of Japanese troops are increasing. They are concentrat? ing* at Wi ju and spreading toward thc north along the Yalu. " "Cossack sentinels have observed tho lightrof Japanese transports near Ching Tai Tse, opposite the village of Pjtanza, 25 versts west of Tatung Kau. The vessels are anchored at a distance of 50 versts from the shore. ""According to dispatches from j Gen Mistchenko, Japanese ships were 1 also seen near Sou Chou." LANDING AT NEW C\\WANG. London, April 20, 2.02 p. m.-A dis? patch to the Central News from St. Petersburg says it is reported that a Japanese force has landed near New Chwang. ?; St. Petersburg, April 21.-The ad? miralty, it is announced, intends to fit out two ships, purchased from Germany, which were formerly in the Trans-Atlantic service, together with a number of ships of thc volunteer lleef, with rapid-fire guns, and to send them to the Pacific to prey upon Japanese commerce. The admiralty believes that by this means it can prevent the resumption of operations by the Japanese commercial fleet and strike a hard blow against Japan's hope of maintaining her resources for the prosecution of the war. It is authoritatively stated that Rus? sia has been offered, through a well known New York firm, two 7,000 ton aud two 3,000-ten cruisers belonging to a South. American republic, hut has declined the o fer. In order to harmonize the army and navy operations, Vice Admiral Skyrd loff will stop at Liao Yang on his way to Port Arthur to confer with Gen. Kuropatkin. The admiral and the general are warm, personal friends, and both are completely independent of the viceroy. lu spite of the bad relations between Skyrdloff and Alexieff, pressure is being brought to bear to prevent the viceroy's im? mediate return to the Russian capital. All information in possession of tho general staff indicates that the Japa? nese are preparing to make a landing near Takushan. The lights of Japa? nese ships have been observed there for several nights, and it is believed that the debarkation of the troops has been delayed only by the bad weather, which has prevented the assembling of the junks and other small craft on which the troops must be carried across the stretch of shallow water which extends several miles from the shore. It is believed that the Japa? nese will experience great difficulty in debarking, if their naval landing is resisted. A prominent naval attache, who is familiar with the coast, says a battal? ion, with rapid-fire and machine guns, could keep off an army corps, as the war ships would have to lie too far out to protcet a landing effectively. THE JAP OFFICERS SHOT. St. Petersburg, April 21.--In an? other telegram to the Emperor, Gen. Kuropatkin says : "I respectfully report to your Ma? jesty that two Japanese officers, named Stcevo Yukoka and Giska Oki, were arrested near the station of Tur-Chi Kha. In their possession were found three cases of Bickford fase, a French wrench, dynamite cartridges, tools for railway wrecking, cylinders containing one and a half pounds of pyroxylin, good maps of Mongolia, Manchuria and Northen Corea and a number of notes. "A Court-martial, held at Harbin, April 20, found them guilty, while belonging to the Japanese army, of operating against Russia and in order to gain success for their army, of de? stroying or damaging telegraph and railroad communications by means of pyroxylin or other acsessories provided for that purpose, and of making their way secretly into Manchuria where they were arrested by Russian patrols, thirty versts southwest of the station of Tur-Chi-Kha, on the Eastern Chi? nese Railway. The officers wore Mon? golian dress to disguise their nation? ality. "The officers were condemned to be deprived of their civil rights and to be executed by hanging. "I confirmed the sentence, but, in view of the officers' rank, consented that they should be shot instead of hanged, with the same loss of civil rights. "I refused their prayer to spare their lives, and they were executed at 6 o'clock on the evening of April 21." PORT ARTHUR DOOMED. London, April 22.-The Tokio corre? spondent of the Daily Telegraph says that Port Arthur undoubtedly is effec? tually blocked and that events are culminating around the doomed fort? ress. St. Petersburg, April 22.-The em? peror has received the following tele? gram from Viceroy Alexieff bearing to? day's date: "I respectfully report to your ma? jesty that today during the placing of mines by some steam launches, Lieut. Pell and 20 men were killed through a mine exploding prematurely under the stern of one of the launch? es." This announcement of the viceroy has added to the gloom which has pre? vailed since the disaster to thc Petro pavlovsk. " We are paying the prcie of care? lessness," said a member of the ad mirality, "and previous disasters seem to teach nothing." The war commission suppressed part of the viceroy's dispatch which showed where the mines were being laid. It is claimed that as launches were em? ployed they were mining the entrance to the harbor in order to prevent the Japanese from forcing an entrance and attempting to destroy the remaining ships. It is evident from the closing of the entrance that Viceroy Alexieff has no intention of letting his ships go to sea again even against even an inferior force, though this may not bc the policy of Vice Admiral fekrydloff, who will determine on a plan of operations when he assumes command. THE JAPANESE ADVANCE. St. Petersburg, April 22.-An offi? cial telegram received here says the Russian scouting parties report that the Japanese are concentrated in con? siderable force, with with war material and pontons at and around Wi ju. Shots were exchanged south of the river Pomakue, where a Russian detachment of two officers and thirty two men lost three killed and two officers and thirteen men wounded. The Russian force regained the Rus ians side of the river under the protec? tion of two guns. JAPANESE REVERSE REPORTED. London, April 22, 7.40 p m.-A dis? patch to the Central News from Port Arthur says news has been received there of the complete destruction of a Japanese column on the Yalu river. No details, it is added, were obtain? able. Are Your Lungs Sound??? Rydale's Elixir cure? weak lungs.

Three Car Barn Bandits Hanged for Eight Murders-Niederwey? er, the Leader, Collapsed and Had to be Carried to the Gallows. Chicago, April 22.--Atheist to the last, hut seemingly unnerved complete? ly, Peter Neidermeyer, the leader of the car barn bandits, was hanged to? day from a chair, in striking' contrast with his companions in crime, Gustar Marx and Harvey Van Dine, who, standing erect, kissed an image of Christ and died without a tremor. The three executions were separate* 20 minutes apart, the same scaffold being used for all. Only once before in the large number of executions that have taken place at the jail in this city has it been necessary to carry a condemned man to the gallows as Neidermeyer was today. The crime for which the three ban id ts paid the penalty was one of eight murders which the three men are known to have committed-that of Francis W. Stewart, a clerk in the car barns of the Chicago city railway. Neidermeyer had boasted continually of his courage but as the last moments approached he collapsed and was un? able to take three consecutive steps of the march to the gallows. Dr. Bell's Kites Ready. Washington, D. C., April 22. -Dr. Alexander Graham Bell has fixed tr> mrrow as the time for the exhibition of his famous tetrahedral kites and he has selected a field at Chevy Chase as the place of trial. One of the kites to be flown is the famous Vic? tor I. This is the kite which is ex? pected to lift a man and after which, when it has been made tractable to motor power and steering gear, the twentieth century flying machine may be fashioned. Prof. Bell has worked on the prob? lem of aerial navigation for two or three seasons at his summer home is Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, but he hat^; never given a public exhibition, and his experiments nave been shroudedN in some mystery. It has been claimed, however, that he met with some suc? cess at Cape Breton last summer. He continued his investigations during the last winter, and the an nouncement that he will exhibit bis kite in pub? lic has led to the belief that he has met with still furtht/ success.
