HOUSE AND SENATE
DO NOT AGREE

Presloent FRO fem Frye recurred to a
question raised Monday as to Whether
concurrent resolutions of congress re-
quire the approval Of the president in
order to render them operative. He
said that it had never been the prae-
tice to send such resolutions to the
president, but he read the provision
of the Constitution bearing on the s,ib-
ject, which makes no distinction be
tween concurrent resolutions and joint
resolutions, and remarked that he did
not know how congress had been able
to escape from the constitutional re-
Quirement.
The suggestion from the chair led
to discussion Of the point by Sen
ators Spooner, Teller, Hale, Platt
(Conn) and Tillman.
Without disposing of the subject the
senate passed to routine business.
after which Mr. Carmack's resolution
for the investigation Of the conduct
of the postoffice department was laid
before the senate and, upon motion of
Mr. Penrose, was referred to the com.
mittee On postofiices and postroads.
Mr.. Morgan was then recognized to
continue his speech on the Panama
canal question. AS on Monday he

NEARING SETTLEMENT.
company's Effort to Run Cars Meeting
With Fierce Resistance and Po-
lice Are Kept Busy.

Chicago, Nov 25.-Conflicting re-
ports on the probability of immediate
peace in the street car strike came
from representatives Of the Chicago
City Railway company and the strik-
ing trainmen during the day. 1t was
learned definitely that the railway
company had offered to arbitrate the
contention which the company consid-
cred remained the sole issue between
the present situation and settle
ment. This point, 1t was said, Is the
taking back of the men employed by
the City Railway company who went
out on sympathetic strikes. The com.
pany asserted that these men violated
agreements, while the strikers assert
that the agreements were not properly
made
During the past tweIvc hours strike
sympathiZers did more damage to the
car lines than on any previous time
since the strike was begun. Wires
were cut on many Of the cross town
lines and all manner of blockade was
put on the tracks in higher piles than
ever In State street every manhole
between Forty-first and Forty-seventh
streets was filled with stones and de-
bris so that the grip could not pass

There Is said to be a shortage Of

the day to run the State street cars
Six trains were started from Sixty
first street but their progress was
slow In spite of the police patrol
spikes were found driven in the cable
slot at intervals and the distinctions
cleared away earlier in the day were
replaced by the strikers in numerous
instances.
The starting of the cable cars was
further delayed by damage to the big
underground turn wheel on which
the cable revolves at Sixtythird

between the four-foot spokes and when

fire in the Smith house was preceded
by murder and suicide. The Smiths
had not lived happily together and
only last Saturday Mrs. Smith told a

saying: "If it was not for the law I'd
