SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 4.-From re-.
ports received here the gale which struck
this city last night seems to be raging
not only ON the southern coast, but all
along the line from Santa Cruz to Cape
Flattery. The waves are rolling noun
tain high at Fort Ross. Old timers are
reporting by telephone that it is the
worst storm ever known in that locality.
The bay on the Oakland side was SO
rough that the ferry steamer Newark
was withdrawn from service and the
freight boat Mount Eden turned back to
port.
Although the storm in this city was of
short duration it did considerable dam.
age. None of the individual losses,
however, are large.
At the Cliff House the wind blew at
the rate of 80 miles an hour. "A number
of windows in the house were broken
and the entire structure seemed threat
ened with collapse.
The wharf at the foot of Main street
and about 20 feet of bulkhead was
washed away. In the city many trees
were blown down, residence was
blown over and several other houses
damaged. Several pedestrians had mar

Sessions of the Senate.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. l. Mr.. Dalzell OF
Pennsylvania called the house to order
today In the absence of Speaker Hen
derson, who was detained at his hon
by a severe cold.
Immediately afer the approval of the
journal half dozen members were on
their feet demanding recognition.
Among them was Mr.. Olmstead of
Pennsylvania, who yesterday created a
stir by offering the resolution to instruct
the committee on census to investigate
the alleged abrldgemenC of the right TO
vote III several southern states. But the
speaker pro tenn first recognized Mr.. Lacy
of Iowa, who presented a privileged
resolution asking the president to re.
turn minor bill in which there was a
clerical error. 1t was adopted.
Mr.. Burton of Ohio presented the
river and harbor bill In order to clear
the way for Mr.. Olmstead Mr.. Graft of
Illinois, chairman of the committee on
claims, after stating that it was appar.
ent that no claim bills could be consid-
cred today (this being the day set aside
under the rule for their consideration
asked unanimous consent to postpone
the regular order for today until next
week.
Mr.. Swanson of Virginia objected.
The speaker pro tenn was then about &c
recognize Mr.. Olmstead when Mr. I'm
derwood of Alabama headed him off
with the point of no quorum, The
house was counted but there were only
142 members in the hall. Under the
operation of the automatic rule the
speaker was able to direct a call of the
house, when Mr.. Underwood interposed
with motion TO adjourn and the fili
buster was on. The vote was taken by
ayes and nays.
The motion to adjourn was defeated
So to 103
The speaker pro tenn held that the
pending question was the vote ON the
question raised as to the consideration
of the Olmstead resolution. During the
previous rollcall the leaders on both
sides had conferred and an agreement
had been reached that the resolution
should be recommitted
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
formally proposed that this course be
followed.
Mr.. Olmstead replied that he would
consider the proposition after the house
had voted to consider the resolution. :
81 may say" said he, ''that it had
been my intention to follow the course
suggested by the gentleman from Ten
nessee. ="
"Why not do SO now and save time,
asked Mr.. Richardson
But Mr. Olmstead insisted upon vote
on the question of consideration and the
vote was accordingly called.

Some Concession.
LONDON, Jan. 4.-United States Am
bassador Choate presented the Hay
Pauncefote treaty amendments to the
secretary of state for foreign affairs, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, today.
LONDON, Jan. 4.-Ambassador Choate
will deliver at once to Lord Lansdowne,
secretary of state for foreign affairs, the
note of the United States government
announcing the senate's amendment to
the Nicaragua treaty and will ask the
British government to accept the imme-
diate treaty. Mr.. Ohoate will assume
the position that England is ready to ac-
cept the senate amendments. Lans-
downe will make a noncommittal and
polite reply and the matter will slumber
for several weeks.
England will undoubtedly put out
feelers as TO whether the United States
is willing to concede something in re-
turn, especially the Alaskan boundary
While Mr.. Choate has no instructions
yet on this point it is considered in dip
lomatic circles that the United States
will not make the slightest concession
and that ultimately England will accept
the amended treaty.

TO SETTLE THE INDEMNITY
State Department Takes the Initiative
In the Matter.

WAsH1NGToN, Jan. 4. The state de-
partment is making strong effort to
secure an understanding among the
powers to serve as basis for the adjust
ment of the question of indemnity to be
paid by the Chinese government. II
appears from Mr.. Conger's reports that
1t is hopeless to expect the foreign min
listers at Peking to reach an agreement
on this important subject and if the
problem is to be solved at all it must be
removed from the Peking council and
dealt with by direct diplomatic ex.
change.

WELTY WILL VOTE FOR QUAY
He Repudiates His Pledge to the
Opposition.


WAYNEsBoRo, Pa, Jan. A. 4-Benjamin
+. Welty, one of the Republican repre-
sentatives from Franklin county ia the
Pennsylvania legislature, admits that he
will cast his vote for Quay for United
States senator on Jan. 15. Welty did
not participate in the caucus at Harris7
burg Tuesday when Quay was the
unanimous choice of the 1913 Republi-
cans present and his name was on the
pledge signed by the anti Quay legisla-
tors
Welty acknowledges that he signed
both Quay and anti-Quay pledges, but
that he has determined to abide by the
pledge to support the caucus nominee
which he signed before receiving the
nomination.
The Quay leaders claim that the ac-
cession of Welty gives them the 127
votes necessary to elect, three who were
not able to participate in the caucus be-
ing certain to vote for him.
