Compromise Measure is Prac
tically Rejected in Advance.
LAST SUPPLY BILL IS PASSED.
House Disposes of All Appropriation
Measures Senate Passes Omnibus
Public Building Bill THIman Die-
cusses Indlanola Case.
Washington , Feb. 24. There has
boou coiiblderublo talk of compromise
on the statehood bill. It wns generally
undeiHtood that what was known as
tliu Spooner compromise , being the
two-stale bill drawn by the Wisconsin
senator , would bo satisfactory to the
Republicans. The terms of this com
promise have been given heretofore ,
save that the provision for the state
of Montczunm provides that before
Arizona can bo set off ns a separate
slate , the population of Montczuma
must bo 700,000 , of which 300,000
should bo In Arizona. The Demo
crats , while talking In a conciliatory
spirit , Hold that they had little hope
that this Republican proposition would
bo ncccplnhlo to them. It Is quite
likely that when this proposition Is
submitted , the Democrats will have
a conference. Probably n counter-
proposition' then will bo made , pro
viding that when Arizona has n popu
lation which IB the average for a rep
resentative In congress. It shall be ad
mitted ns a state and also that n cen
sus shall bo taken every year. The
Democrats say they want a provision
fixing the date which will brine Ari
zona into the Union. This would not
bo satisfactory to the Republicans.
While the efforts toward a compro
mise continue , there are only a few
senators who expect an adjustment
to bo rrnched. and the prospects of
statehood legislation nro still remote.

Army Debate In Commons.
London , Feb. 24. Winston Church
ill will resume today the adjourned
army debate in the house of commons.
It is stated in the lobby of the house
that the nationalists will either sup
port the government or abstain from
voting , In order not to prejudice the
government's Irish land bill. This
will probably Insure the defeat of the
motion to censure the secretary of
war , Mr. Brodrlck. It is even stated
that there is some understanding be
tween the government and the Irish
members by which the establishment
of a Catholic university In Ireland
will be conceded. Rumors have been
in circulation during the last few days
that Mr. Brodrick will resign in order
to become the successor of Lord Cur-
zen as viceroy of India.
