Mr.. Hengelmuller Protests.
Baron Hengelmuller, the Austrian ambae.
sador, had brief conference with the Pres.
ident today, at which he entered q pro-
test against the enactment by Congress Of
the legislation affecting Austria-Hungary
contemplated by the Lodge amendment to
the general deficiency appropriation bill.
The amendment offered by Senator Lodge
grew out of q report by q United States
consul in Austria-Hungary, that q contract
had been entered into by that government
with a steamship line to supply to the line
10000 emigrants to the United States each
year, the understanding being that II the
number of immigrants In any one year fell
short of $4,000 the Austro Hungarian gov
ernment would pay to the steamship line $40
for each immigrant short Of the contract
number of 10000.
Senator Lodge offered an amendment to
introduction Of all such contract tmmi-
grants into this country. It was agreed to
in the Senate and the bill with the amend
ment was sent to conference.
This action aroused the Austrian am
bassador, who vigorously protested
against legislation that would affect ma
terially the immigration from his country.
President Roosevelt sent for Secretary
Hay and discussed the situation briefly
with him. Inquiry then developed the fact
that the Lodge amendment had been elimi-
mated from the measure in conference, and
that today the conference report on the
bill had been adopted by both the Senate
and the House of Representatives. The
President learned that, in the opinion Of
leading members Of the appropriations
committees, 1t was deemed inadvfsable at
this time and without more information on
the subject than was at the disposal OF
Congress to enact legislation Of 80 drastic
q nature.
Postmasters Nominated.
In addition to the nomination of Judge
Pritchard, the President sent the following
nominations to the Senate today:
Postmasters Pennsylvania: Harry L.
Cooper. Edinboro; Delos A. Wright. Union
City.
Illinois: Harry Whitver, Walnut.

NEW YORK, April 2E-Two probationary

ruins of the John Stanley soap works, in
West 3Oth street. This building was de-
stroyed by fire early this morning. One
other fireman was caught by falling walls
and was taken to Bellevue Hospital, se-
riously injured. Many narrow escapes VI
had by the f1renien. one great source Of
danger being the frequent explosions OF
chemicals In the building.

MAY ADJOURN TOMORROW.
Chairman Payne Predicts That Con
gress Will Get AWAY.

Congress u endeavoring to dispose of all
matter before 1t 30 as to adjourn sine die
tomorrow. the 2Sth. 1t was for this reason
that both houses met at 10 o'clock today
in continuation of Tuesdays legislative ses-
sion. There are now no important public
matters pending which are likely to prevent
an adjournment at the conclusion of Thurs-
days session of each house.
Chairman Payne of the House committee
on ways and means predicts that Congress
will adjourn tomorrow. He win not intro
duce the adjournment resolution until to-
sion tonight.
NO agreement on the river and harbor
bill IL expected.
The necessity for Panama legislation was
this afternoon the only stumbling block to
the course generally outlined for adjourn
ment OF Congress tomorrow afternoon,
The well-known opposition to confirm the
nomination of Crum to be collector of the
port of Charleston, s. c., is so strong and
10 well recognized that 1t was regarded as
altogether out of the question to seriously
think OF such action at this session.
Half dozen democrats have given no.
Ece that In case an effort is made to
confirm Crum they will be ready with
long speeches which they have stated they
have no objection to making If the repub-
1icans care to maintain a quorum in the
Senate to listen to them.
In the Senate this afternoon Mr.. Nc
Cumber asked that at 4:80 o. clock pension
bills be taken up. Mr.. Lodge at once sug-
gested that before anything further was
done he wished to know what the Senate's
action would be on the House resolution
to adjourn at o'clock tomorrow.
Senator Allison stated that so far as the
appropriation bills were concerned there
was no reason why the Senate should not
adjourn at the time indicated. The need for
some legislation for Panama, however, he
stated. was such that that matter would
have to be cared for.
Whether or not there will be differences
between the Senate and the House in agree
ang to legislation providing for the govern
ment OF the canal zone was the subject for
very grave thought on the part OF very
many senators this afternoon. The Senate
passed civil government bill and the
House substituted for that the provisions OF
the government for the Louisiana purchase
- drawn UP In lS08 by Thomas Jefferson.
That provision 10 not acceptable to the Sem

late hour this afternoon had not resulted

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because OF lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion rcallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
Scots Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
