In Washington in the Senate, Mr Quay delivered a strong speech urging to discharge the Committee on Territories from consideration of the Omnibus Statehood bill and promote Oklahoma Arizona and New Mexico to statehood. The move could alter electoral balance and affect tariff and currency legislation, though passage this session seems unlikely. Beveridge opposes admission for New Mexico and Arizona, while Oklahoma potential statehood remains debated.

Immigration Bill In Senate Amid Major House Changes
Washington June 23 Senator Penrose from the Committee on Immigration reported the immigration bill with many amendments. The package includes a higher head tax on immigrants and extending it to overland arrivals paid by carriers, a three year deportation window for objectionable immigrants, and shared land transport costs by carriers. It tightens rules on anarchists, the insane, diseased, and limits contract labor. Penrose aims to push changes but the drastic shift and possible early adjournment render passage doubtful.
