HOUSE SYSTEM MAY FIND
FAVOR IN THE SENATE

The proposition to have the Senate
Committee on Rules sit in recess TO in
vestigate the desirability of adopting
some means OF supplying limitoi cloture
has suggested the advisabIlity Of other
changes in the rules which will result in
saving valuable time. Senator Hans
brough has proposed that the Senate
adopt the House system OF introducing
petitions and memorials, reports from
the Committee on Pensions. and pension
bills. which Is simply to deposit them
IN q receptacle at the Secretary's desk.
The amendment provides that all mat
ters so deposited shall be disposed Of in
the same manner as IL presented by
Senator'S from their places on the floor
of the Senate.
Petitions. memorials. and pension bills
consume the greater portion OF the time
set aside for morning business.

II David II Mercer. former representa-
tive from Nebraska. is named Director
Of the Census. his appointment must be
charged to the District OF Columbia.
Tne delay OF the President in filling the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr..
Merriam has caused much speculation
as to whether the President has found it
advisable to charge such an important
Office 10 the District political accounts IN
their present condition.
Mr.. Mercer IS practically without Ne
braskan support in mis- candidacy for the
Office. Neither Of the Nebraska Senators
has asked for his appointment. In fact.
the delegation which called on President
Roosevelt TO urge the selection OF Mr..
Mercer was conspicuous for the absence
OF Senators Nillard and Dietrich. Rep
resentative BYkett was the only Ne
braskan in tho party which visited the
White House and urged Mr.. Mercer's ap-
pointment
Nebraskans regard Mr.. Mercer as a
resident of the District Of Columbia. His
defeat was due chiefly TO the fact that
he had not lived in Omaha for many
years Although Mr. Mercer maintained
that his home was In Omaha. his family
did not live there. and his visits 10 that
city were short and infrequent, and were

Alarm has been felt by the RepubIi-

a canvass last night and found that there

COGHLAN ORDERED TO

Gus Aspect.

- Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling
late yesterday afternoon cabled instruc-
tions TO Rear Admiral Coghlan at San
Juan, directing him to proceed to Hon
duras with the squadron under his COM
mand, leaving the Vixen under the com
mandant at San Juan.
This action was taken in accordance
with the dispatch received by the State
Department yesterday afternoon from
Vice Consul Wildt. at Ceiba, Honduras.
stating that the revOlutionists had cap
tured that town and requesting the pres
ence Of a warship.
Admiral Coghlan has under his com
mand the Olympia. Panther. Marietta.
Vixen. and collier Rrutus. He will pro-
coed 10 Puerto Cortez and Ceiba Hon
duras, for the purpose of protecting
American interests there. II is believed
that the presence OF a squadron will have
a more saIutary effect than a single YES
sci.
Dispatches from Honduras indicate
that the fall Of Ceiba was due to dis
satisfaction on the part Of the govern
ment's troops there. who shot their
commandant and several officers and
looted the town.
The indications are that the revolu-
tion is assuming a serious aspect.
