Statehood Rill l'aasw tlie Senate.? fat ml Withdrawal Measure PiimwmI. June 125 Set for Adjournment. CongreBS is expected to adjourn on June 2 5, according to plans made public by Senate leaders, after consultations with House leaders, a careful canvass of both branches, and a revision of the Senate's legislative program. The plans perfected are as follows: After remaining on the senate calendar for almost three months in a state of uncertainty as to its fate, the hill providing for the admission of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona to seperate Statehood was taken up by t.he senate Thursday and passed after a debate consuming lit tie more than two hours. The measure was called up by Senator Bcveridee, chairman of the committee on territories, and was j pissed after speeches by Senators J Beveridge, Krazier, Nelson, Hughes i and Sinoot. All the speeches were I favorable to the creation of the two I States, hut the Democrats favored the house hill. When the vote was reached there J was a division on the senate substitute for the house bill, but with that amendment accepted, the senate voted solidly for the passage of the bill. The senate substitute was adopted as an amendment to the house bill by a strictly party vote, the vote standing 42 to 19. As passed the bill would provide ; for the admission of the two terriJ tories as States, but not until after j a constitution had be^n adopted by | each of them, approved by the president, and ratified by congress. The artion of the Senate in adopting the bill for the issuance of certificates of indebtedness to furnish money to complete reclamation projects as an amendment to the land witdrawal bill, caused Western Senators to express fear that it might encounter obstacles in conference. 1 This fear was based upon statements that the House was opposed tt) the reclamation measure.

FIERY ATTACK S A i , j Senator Dollhrer Defies AdMiaistratioi to Chase Insurgents OiL ! ASSAILS THE TARIFF J d L Tlio IiiNUi'Kent of the Senate J1 Slashes Pivsident Taft, Seiuttor ? 0 Aldrich and Sjjeakw Cannon for Fault* of the Party.?Ksaentially J a Challenge to the Administratiou. I 1 From the lips of Senator Dilliver, v of Iowa, the battle cry of the "In- \ surgent" Republicans was sounded J on the floor of the Senate the other o day. In a speech which bristled with d defiance to President Tal't, Senator t Aldrich. Speaker Cannon and all the 1 other champions of the inroads of d predatory wealth, the great Western b lawmaker sounded the call for a t new Republican crusade against fake tariff revision,, against the greed and oppression of monopoly and against the false leaders of the party to which Abraham Lincoln, its founder, gave his heart and soul and finally his life. Not in years has there been a spe ch of such power and eloquence on either tt.,or of Congress and during the three hours which the thundering lowan held the floor, the dumbfounded regulars sat cowering iu their places, scarcely one of them leaving the Senate chamber. "Last year witnessed two impo'-jj tant lioazes perpetuated on the ! American people," said Dolliver, "the discovery of the North Pole by I>r. Cook and the revision of the tariff downward by Senator Aldrich." This was the starting point of his j attack on the Republican "stand- -j patters" and he kept at it vigorously from beginning to end. Dolliver declared that he spoke as a Republican, j as a guarian of the Republican faith, j and he defld bis enemies to drive ^ him and those who stood with his j from the party. The speech was an j open and ringing declaration of war on the dominance of commercialism in politics ad public life. It was essentially a challenge to the Administration, the Aldrich and to Cannon, to a fight to the death. In his denunciation of the humbug and false pretense of the Paye-AIdrieh revision of the tariff, the Western senator went further than in any of his previous attacks on that measure. He hurled defiance, mingled with scorn, at the President, telling liini he would welcome deliverance from the yoke of patronage, and taunting him with the utter inconsistences of his various speeches 0:1 the tariff and other subjects, lie * also referred with withering scorn to the attacks of Speaker Cannon on the progressives and the insurgents. In closing he solemnly devoted himself to the fight against monopoly and tariff. In concluding Senator Dolliver said: "I propose to tell not only what has gone on in Cougress last year in connection with the tariff, but also what is now going on to prevent members following their own dictates of coscience. I am through with tariff revision as accomplished by those interests to which it primarily belongs. I shall stand on the floor of Congress and fight it just as long as Iowa returns me to Washington, and 1 shall do it us a Republican. I don't care for my political fate. I f,>r the uublic 25 years j (i a ? vwttvv* . NT . w ? ? a and 1 do not propose lhat my remaining years shall be given up to a dull consent to these conspiracies ( which would rob the people to multiply private wealth.
