GLOTURE RULE MAY Be
BROUGHT TO THE FRONT
Senator Spooner Anxious to
Break Present Deadlock.
CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT
Suggestion Of Such a Move Has Always
Proven Offensive to Majority
OF Members.
CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt was informed to-
day by Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
| Of a project which the latter has in
mind for forcing some determination of
the question as TO the rights of Sena-
tors on the floor and their power to
Obstruct legislation. His intention is To
introduce a resolution calling upon the
Committee on Rules. Of which he is
chairman, TO report cloture rule
closing debate on the omnibus State
hood bill in two hours. What re-align-
ment Of Senators there would be on a
proposition such as this, it is impos-
si5le to predict
Always Offensive.
The entire suggestion and principle
of a cloture rule in the Senate has
always been offensive TO a large ma
iority OF the members. Senator PIatt
OF Connecticut favored the adoption of
such a rule some time ago but was
generally opposed. The introduction OF
this question at the present time would
require the advocates OF Statehood to
go on record in favor of cloture. which
most OF them have heretofore opposed,
or else vote against the plan proposed
ostensibly to bring about vote on the
measure
Senator Quay's forces on the State
hood proposition comprise many Demo-
Gratis who have frequently invoked the
right OF unlimited debate. The proba-
bilfty is that many Statehood advocates
would desert that allegiance to the ON
nibus bill and refuse to sell all their
future rights for the present mess OF
pottage offered The vote will 90 on
record. however. and the Statehood ad-
vocates themselves will be committed
against a proposition which. il carried.
would bring their bin 20 a vote. There
after they could not claim that the op-
ponents OF the Statehood bin were the
real obstrUctionists.

YANKEE GOT FIRST
CAR OF PEACHE
Maiden Shipment From Mil
ford Melted the Grower
$I.Io Per Basket
sneolal 10 the Evenlng Journal.


Milford. July 25.-The first carload OF
peaches for the season was shipped from
the Milford depot yesterday morning.
They were bought by Lee e. Truitt and
81 10 per basket was what the growers
got The car was consigned to Boston,
Mass.
It is believed that there will not be
more than a third Of a crop of peaches
in this section this year, ana calculation
for about this amount Is being made by
the buyers Some growers are more for
tunate than others and will have nearly
full crop; these orchards are situated
near the Delaware Bay in Milford and
Cedar Necks, and Il Is supposed were pro-
tected by the salt air. In the uplands
there are not more than a fourth Of a
crop anywhere and In some orchards
there is barely a trace Of q crop.
The prospect for big crop Of tomatoes
was never better in this section. Every
where there Is good stand and the can>
neries. though very few Of them succeed
ed in contracting for their supply, are
preparing for a large pack. IL is ex-
pected that the growers will receive about
so per ton this year here.
