HOUSE AND SENATE LOCK
HORNS.
Congress Did Not Adjourn on Scheduled

Congress Did Not Adjourn on Scheduled
Tlme-Fight on Ocean Surveys.
Congress did not adjourn Wednesday
as scheduled, but took recess until
10 a. IN. Thursday, the two chambers
of the national legislature, with heads
down aud horns locked, were in des-
perate struggle over the item in the
naval appropriation bill relating to
ocean surveys. The final adjourn
ment Of congress is postponed until it
is over.
The proceedings in the house during
the day were tame AMI without dra-
matte incident. This was due partly
to the fact that the firm position taken
by the house on the armor plate pro-
vision transferred the fight to the floor
of the senate, and partly to the obsti-
nate refusal of Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio
Democrat, to permit any unanimous
consent legislation until the Republi-
can leaders agreed to allow the testi-
mony in the Occur d d'Alene investiga-
tion to be printed. Mr.. Lentz held the
house by the throat all day, and ex-
cept for privileged matters, things leg
islative were practically at standstill.

STEUNENBERG CONTROLS.

National Delegates Selected.


National Delegates Selected.
The forces of Governor Steunen berg
triumphed in the state convention,
seating the contesting delegation from
shoshone county, friendly to the gov
ernor, the vote being 152 to II. The
result is practical endorsement OF
Governor Steunen berg's administration
in the Coeur d'Alene trouble, as tho
fight in the convention was made al
most entirely on that line.
The opposition to the governor made
a stubborn fight for two days and de-
bate on the report of the credentials
committee lasted four hours. Only in
direct reference was made to the Occur
d'Alene trouble by the opposition, the
speakers limiting their remarks to tn,
personnel of the contesting delegations
and to the regularity of their creden>
tials. Shoshone county is the scene OF
the Occur Alene mining difficulties.
and one of the con testing delegation,
represented the element opposed to the
administrati ton of affairs there
The issue, therefore, brought the
Occur d'Alene matter directly before
the convention. The Steunenberg men
contended that the Shoshone county
Democratic convention was controlled
by Populists, who captured the prima-
ries under the dictation of those re-
sponsible for the labor troubles.
Tie resolutions passed endorse Bry-
an for president and Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis of Washington state
for vice president and favor fnsion OF

WOMAN ATTACKED KAISER.

Breslau. November 16.-Emperor Will
liam was the object of an attempted out
rage today. which. however. failed. AS
he was driving i'm an open carriage to the
Cuirassier barracks, accompanied by the
hereslitary prince of -Meiningen, a
woman In the crowd hurled hand chop
per at the carriage The rapidity with
which the vehicle was passing saved It's
occupants. The chopper, however. struck
the carriage The woman was immedi-
atcly arrested.
The woman's name is Selma Schnapke.
She occupied place in the front rank of
the spectators on the side furthoSt from
the emperor. \ crowd of people, who
witnessed the outrage. threw themselves
on his ma jesty's assailant, but the prompt
Intervention of the police saved the wo-
:nan from injury.
The assailant is n tradeswoman of Bres-
lau. a provisional medical examination
of the prisoner has been made. ard she
has been pronounced Insane.
While Emperor William was returning
from the barracks to the railroad station
he was cheerul by immense crowds OF
people who were gathered alonS the route.
Berlin, November I6.-According to most
reports, Emperor William did no; notice
the incident but the Brcslg Schlesische
Morgen Zeitung says he saw what had
happened and turned very pale, but con-
tinued to greet the bystanders pleasantly.
The entire Breslau garrison was immc-
diately alarmed and drawn up In line
on both sides of the route which the en-
peror took in returning from the bar
racks to the depot after luncheon.
The news the attempt on the kaiser
created a great sensation in Berlin. 1t
was first reported on the bourse. where
the market weakened. The evening pa
pers printed the details in bold type. The
accounts agreed that the woman Is de-
mented 1t seems that she appeared
this morning in the Breslau court i'll lu-
macy proceedings.
While the attack upon the kaiser may
not have formed any part of an interna-
uonal plot, there is no doubt that un-
usual anarchist activity is developing in
various countries of Europe, and that the
police are taking exceptional precautions
against it.
The entire line of railway from Buda-
pest t. Goeboello, where is situated the
palace of Emperor Francis Joseph, Is
guarded by special police. "a thing which
was n,ver done before.
