Washington, March lit can be stated
on the highest authority that the attitude
Of Speaker Reed and some Of the other
republican leaders who have sought 70

Their purpose In delaying action on the
bill creating two additional regiments Of

sible, any undue alarm. While 1t Is not
generally known. It Is nevertheless true
that the republican leaders OF the house
have given the administration assurances
that any emergency action which may be
deemed necessary TO uphold the dignity
OF the country win be promptly ratified.
The whole aim Of the republican leaders
under the leadership Of the speaker has

weakness developing later in the day.
New York Central recorded loss Of ss
at the opening, otherwise the extreme
declines i'm railroads were restricted be-
tweeE l and 5 points. The losses in spe-
eialties were great, the Metropolitan fall
ing points. sugar ga and Manhattan 81.
The shorts were quick to cover at the
decline and a rally OF to points was
almost instantaneous, Later in the day
the introduction of Cannon's bill to ap-
propriate sSOoOOOOO for national defenses
and the passage OF the Hawley bill pro-
viding for two new artillery regiments
renewed the early weakness and forced
prices again to the lowest The latter
