abe strike of the Longshoremen's Union,
cannot be done.
The delay is causing heavy losses to the
vessel owners. but that carrying rates will
be advanced TO recOup these losses later is
generally conceded.
There was apparently no change In the
strike situation today. There Gas some
talk among the vessel owners about OBJ
tanning non-union men to unload their
boats. but nothing of definite nature, so
far as could be ascertained. has as yet de-
veloped in that direction. II is daily be-
coming more apparent that the mates,
whose recognition by the Lake Carriers
Association the longshoremen demand, are
taking no active part In the strike Reports
indicate that very few of the mates have
Joined in the strike movement. AS result
the vessels are fully manned and can be

AT the beginning of today's session of

The clerk began reading the message at
1911 and completed its reading at 1890
On its conclusion applause rang through
the chamber. both sides vying in their
demonstration of approval.
The House then. on motion of Mr.. Foss
Gid, went into the committee of the
whole for the furtheg consideration of the
naval appropriation bill.
Mr.. Flood (Va.) addressed the House in
favor of the bin authorizing the govern
ment to participate In the jamestown ter
centennial exposition on the shores of
Hampton roads in 1907.
THE distinguishing feature of this ex-
position" Mr. Flood said. above any the

EARLY ACTION UNLIKELY.
The Barnes Matter VIII Probably Go
Over to Next Week.

Owing to the pressure on the Senate on
account of the pending rate bill it is not
likely that Senator Tillman will undertake
to get his resolution for an Investigation of
the Mrs. Morris case at the White House
and of the metropolitan police force before
the Senate for it's passage until the middle
of next week.
For the same reason II is not likely that
the Senate will consider In executive ses-
sion the nomination of Mr.. Benjamin T.
Barnes to be postmaster of this city. Both
the nomination and the Tplman resolution

a conclusion, II is understood, as soon as

VIEWS OF GENERAL COUNSEL
OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY.

dents message with the accompanying re-
port Of Commissioner Garfield was received
at the office Of the Standard Oil Company
IN New York, NJ. f. Elliot, general counsel
of the company, was asked what reply he
cared to make. He said:

The Lake Carriers Association has begun

which did not concern the carriers directly
but was up to the dock managers, replied
with smile: Il don't care to discuss that
matter today. You really must pass me. 1

crossing satisfactorily from our standpoint

turning from Lake Erie ports the shipments

ness
In speaking of the situation the superin-
tendent Of the ore docks said:
I'VE do not anticipate any Irregularities in
our daily shipments until after the first of

vessels now en- route to Duluth to keep US
busy until Monday or Tuesday After that
