WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 The predic-
ton is freely made by members OF the

if the proposed reaffirmatlon Of the
Monroe doctrine is adopted by the sem
ate and sen over to the house for ac-

colleagues Of the senate impeis the
members of the committee in the other
house to refrain from putting them
selves on record in interviews as op-
posed to the resolut on, but in converse
ton they do not hesitate to criticise
the verblage of 1t and TO deprecate
the policy which brings it forward at
this particular time. One of the fore
most authorities on diplomatic matters
in the house said he deemed il very
poor dip omacy to take any steps tend
lng TO increase the tens on between this
government and Great Britain in what
practically amounted to a crisis.
The committee members think it will
be better pol cy to sldetrack the resolu-
ton without any demonstration Of Dis
approval than TO make an adverse re-
port upon il to the house.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-From tho ac-
ton of the house committee on COM
merce there seems TO be little doubt
that a bill authorizing the Pacific Cable
company to lay a cable from the Pacific
coast to the Hawaiian Islands and
Japan win be favorably reported wieh-
in a short time. The committee di-
rected a subcommittee to prepare a bill
embracing certain changes deemed de-
sirable in the bill outlined by the COM
pany. The principal points of differ

the committee are the amount of gov
eminent subsidy to be granted and the
