RESENT PENSION ORDER
Senate and House Unite in Directing
to Roosevelt's Action.
MAY TAKE HEROIC MEASURES

President May Be Warned BY Reso'
luton That In Future He Must
Not Infringe Upon Functions Of
Congress.
Washington. March 21-The storm
of resentment aroused 10y the order OF
President Roosevelt proclalming a ser
vice pension continued without abate-
ment among senators and representa-
tives. Mr.. Roosevelt is being roundly
condemned for his arbitrary action re-
eardless OF party distinctions.
Senate and house are practically a
unit in the declaration that Mr.. Roose-
Welt has taken step wholly without
the latitude contemplated by the or
ganic law designating congress as the
sole legislative power
Senators and representatives agree
that il is high time something were
done to prevent anything of the kind
in the future, even though this particu-
lar order, Involving the expenditure OF
$1,000. 600 of the governments money
each year. cannot be nullitied.
A suggestion was made by lead
ing senator that as formal mark OF
resentment the senate should take up
the service pension bill now pending in
committee and vote il down. Repub-
Leans. however. are doubtful Of the po-
litical wisdom of such move, although
they are willing to resort TO heroic
measures In order that the president
nav be served with notice that he
should keep his foot of congressional
territory.
It is anticipated that the reply OF
She secretary of the interior to the
Overman resolution will be sent to the
senate not later than tomorrow. In this
reply Mr.. Hitchcock will acknowledge
the truth of the printed report that the
order has been issued. and explain that
the pension Office estimates the expen-
diture involved is not less than $780,
600 geo.
Upon this reply will be based any
further action by senate or house.
Judging by the spirit manifested,
further resolutions of a character pain
ly indicative of the feeling Of congress
will be introduced and so handled as
TO attract the official attention Of the
president in the hope that the order
may be withdrawn and congress given
an opportunity to legislate on the sub
jet
In the event that the president in
sists upon his order il is likely that
some understanding will be reached
whereby Mr.. Roosevelt will be inform
ed. plainly and without mincing OF
words. that in future he must regard
the constitutional limitations Of nls
Office and refrain from any official act
in contradiction 20 or infringement
upon the functions Of congress.

Steamship New York Meets With
Two Mishaps in One Day.
GROUNDED AND m COLLISION

Bottom Of Vessel Was Damaged BY
Grounding On French Coast and Later
Smashed Into British Transport,
Losing sowsprit ard Figurehead.
Southampton, March 2l.--The Amer
lean line steamship New York, Captain
Young. from New York. March -, for
Plymouth. CherbOurg and Southamp-
ton. met with two mishaps grounding
off Cape La Hague. France, in the early
morning. and later coming into COLI
sion in the English channel with the
Peninsular and Oriental steamship
Assaye under contract To the British
government and used as a troop ship
bound for Bombay with 500 troops on
board
The New York grounded while APP
preaching Cherbourg at 2.30 o'clock in
the morning during fog. The sea was
smooth. however, and the tide was on
the food and within an hour and a
half the vessel was llOated without
assistance. Her bottom was damaged
and there was water in the holds, but
she was able to proceed.
During her voyage mp the channel A
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
Castle. England. the Assaye suddenly
appeared, and it was found impossible
to avoid collision The New York's
bow crashed into the Assaye's star
board bow. tearing a great gap in that
vessel. The New York's bowsprit and
iigurehead were carried away. and the
latter was smashed into fragments.
There was great excitement, but no
panic. on either vessel The boats OF
the Assaye were lowered and the
troops were mustered. but the bulk
head Of the troopship saved her. Both
vessels were able TO enter Southamp-
ton. and the New York was locked for
temporary repairs. Nobody was in
jured. It will be impossible to estimate
the damage TO the New York until she
has been put in the dry dock.
II is believed that both vessels have
been somewhat seriously injured. An
other troOpship will replace the Assaye.
James Sellers. a passenger on the
New York, SAYS that while he was at
luncheon there was grating noise,
followed by tremendous shock. Every
one. ne says. ran TO the deck. and il
was found that the New YOrk's bow
was firmly fixed in the side OF the AS
sage. Mr. Sellers was close enough 10
observe the marvellous discipline aboard
the troopship. Not a second was lost,
and there was no sign OF hurry and
while the boats We're being prepared
for launching the soldiers were mus
tered with the precision Of an ordinary
drill
AS the vessels parted concluded
Mr.. Sellers, I'VE saw a gaping hole in
the Assaye 10 feet wide. and sticking
on our stem was a pOrtmanteau and
other portable property. There was no
panic on our boat Had We struck the
Assaye amidships she would have
sunk"
