| Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill Re-
ceived and Accepted.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The senate
was in open session for about five
hours and a na]f today, and notwlth-
standing the session began with roll
call in order to secure a quorum, the
day was crowded with business of i'm
portance, including an announcement

the hours of service on railroad trains;
the acceptance of an almost complete
report on the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill and speech by Senator
Warren in support Of mis- resolution
relative to the live stock industry.
Senator Bailey denied all the allie
cations of the Cosmopolitan article
attacking himself and holding Hon. w.
R. Hearst responsible for the attack,
said that in all the six political cam
paigns made by himself, he had not
spent as much money as Mr.. Hearst
had spent in one ward in his recent
race for mayor in New York
In his statement concerning the
meat inspection provision, Mr.. Proctor
said that the house conferees had re-
fused all efforts at compromise and
had refused to join in report. The

expressed that cooler counsel might
prevail tomorrow.

SANTO DOMINGO TREATY
on December 18th, at Next Session
Of Congress.

Washington, June 27.-Taking the
administration senators completely by
surprise, Senator Bacon. in executive
session Of the senate today, moved that
the senate agree to vote on the Santo
Domingo treaty on December II, at the
next session Of congress. This is the
treaty under which the United States
undertakes to collect and disburse the
customs of the dominican republic for
the payment of it's debts. Efforts eX-
tending over two sessions Of congress
have been made by republican sena-
tors to ratify the treaty, but democrat
ic opposition has prevented.
Senator Bacon explained that the ad-
ministratiOn is now endeavoring to
carry out the provisions of the treaty
without authority and that it woulo
be better to either give his authority
or end the present state Of affairs. He
did not disclose the number Of votes
he had against the treaty, but his con-
fident manner indicated that the treaty
would be rejected if it were brought to
a vote.
The treaty between the United States
and the powers of Europe in relation
to Morocco which was negotiated as
the result of the Algeciras conference
also goes over. 1t will be reported 10
the senate at the first meeting of the
foreign relations next December and
voted on not later than December 20.

Wide Difference Of Opinion as to
Probable Outcome
ALL MEN IN PERFECT CONDITION
10th Crews Have Been Record Break
ers in Their Time TriaIS-Haryard
VIII Have Slight Advantage of the
Tide in the Varsity Race and May
Also be Favored i'm the 4-Oared
Race.

New London, Conn, June 27.-Not in
many years has such a difference of
opinion been held by college men and
others as TO the probable outcome OF
| the varsity eights event of the Yale
Harvard regatta on the Thames as
prevails here tonight 1t is so we'll
known that both crews have been rec
ord breakers in their time trials. and
that they are in splendid physical con-
dition.
At the quarters of both crews the
reports come that the varsity men are
absolutely fit for the struggle tomor-
row.
The feature Of the closing day OF
the training was the rowing Of two
minor races. which are now looked
upon as of considerable interest to men
in quarters.
These were the fOur-oared mile race
for freshmen substitutes which Yale
won by a quarter of length in clear
water, and the half-mile race for
graduate crews for the Graces cup
which went to the Harvard but by
one and a quarter lengths. Last year
Harvard won both of these events.
AS the result of the loss tonight for
positions in the three races, Harvard
was fortunate enough to call the turn
on two of these, having the choice in
the varsity and four-oared races. Yale
won the toss in the freshmen event.
When it came to choosing the lane for
each event, Harvard took the west one
for the varsity, and the east line for
the four-oared, while Yale took the
east course for the freshmen. This
means that Harvard has a slight ad-
vantage of the tide, if there is any, in
the varsity race. which will be rowed
at O clock in the afternoon on full
tide and perhaps will be similarly fa-
vored for the four-oared race which
will be rowed about 1920 in the morn
ing, Immediately following the fresh
men race.

COAFEREES ARE IN DEADLOCK
Outcome of Coference on Meat
inspection Amendment
NATTER REPORTED To SENATE
House COnferees Declined TO Consider
Any Compromise On Subject of Pay
snent OF Cost of Inspection by the
the Packers-Other Differences No,
Touched on.

Washington, June 27-An absolute
deadlock on the meat inspection
amendment to the agricultural appro
pration bill was reported by Senator
Proctor to the senate late today, after
three sessions Of the confereas had
been held. The Vermont senator said
that the house cOnferees had Gecline.
TO consider any compromise on tie
subject Of the payment Of the cost Of
inspection by the packers
The senate conferees offered to
compromise he said, upon a tax OF
five cents head on cattle, and three
cents on hogs, sheep and goats, to be
collected and covered into the treas
ury the same as any other revenue"
He read the compromise proposition
showing that the So, 900 900 provided by
the house would remain in the bili
and the cost of inspection would be
paid therefrOm. In reply to a question
from Senator Hale he stated that the
tax would amount to about One-half OF
the appropriation.
The compromise proposition was
met by the house conferees with the
argument that it would be uncOnstitu-
tional on the ground that congress has
no authority to levy direct tax upon
chattels.
Senator Proctor related the particu-
lars Of the provision regarding the
cost of inspection and added that the
house cOnferees had absolutely declin-
ed to sign the report unless the house
provision should be accepted letter for
letter He said the effect Of the posi-
ton taken by the house would be to
cause the failure of the legislation and
the general arrest of business.
Mr. Proctor said that nothing had
been said regarding the date on can
ned meats.
1--WE didn't reach it," he said. They
insisted on their entire provision;
there was no chance for compro
mise or anything.'
Mr.. Hale then spoke Of the gravity
Of the situation and advised that the
senate refrain from further comment
that might excite feeling. MY i'm
preston is that we will do we'll TO
leave it over night where it is, and
that we should do nothing to inaame
the situation in the hope that better
counsels will prevail tomorrow"
81 see nothing better to do" as
serted Mr.. Proctor, "the house con-
ferees refuse positively to join in amy
report"
Mr.. Hale then in pursuance Of his
suggestion to let the matter lie over,
moved an adjournment, but he subse-
quently withdrew the motion in order
to permit an executive session

penses were 100000, forty times as
much as | have spent in politics all

tion and machines"
The Texas senator also made refer
ence to the magazine charge that he
had been a party to an effort TO cheat
the Indians of Indian territory out of
their coal lands, which would have
been successful but for the efforts Of
Senator LaFollette. He then called
upon Mr.. LaFolIette to say whether he
(Mr. Bailey had not co-operated with
him in what he (Mr. LaFollette) had
done
The Wisconsin senator responded
promptly saying: Il take great pleas

sition of the coal lands Of Indian Ter

tor, and then announced his intention
to continue the practice of his pro-
fession. Il despise these public men
who think they have to remain poor
intend to make every dollar | hon
estIy can, so long as my practice
doesn't interfere with my public
duty"
Mr. Bailey spoke in praise Of the
generality Of newspapers and maga-
zines, and compared the Cosmopolitan
to the outcasts of society. "Such publi-
cations as this he said, should be
scourged from the company Of well
behaved men and women; they should
be outlawed by the united contempt Of
honest men"
He then referred to another article
which he said had appeared in the
New York Evening Journal, a paper
bearing Mr.. Hearst's name, the day
after the article in the Cosmopolitan
had made it's appearance.
He then detailed the fact that the
article in the newspaper had advised
it's readers to buy the magazine.
'Hearst's magazine prints SANDER
he said, "and then Hearst's newspa-
per advises it's reads to buy the
magazine.'
Mr. Bailey had a large and atten-
tive audience both in the galleries and
on the senate floor, the latter element
including many Of Mr.. Hearst's col
leagues in the house. When he con-
cluded he was loudly and warmly
congratulated by senators and men,
