Senator Bailey sat in his room at the
hotel in San Antonio, Texas, yesterday
and heard reports every five minutes OF
the debate in both the Senate aod House
on the resolutions TO investigate the
charges against bim with reference TO
completely in Waters Pierce Oil affairs
and large loans from II. Clay Pierce.
A vote on the resolutions will no: be
had until tomorrow.
Three hours of debate in the House
will bring the vote that is 10 show the
strength of the factions That OF the
Senate factions developed yesterday IN
a vote 10 adjourn, being IA against and
Is for Bailey. Of the three absentees
the anti Bailey men claim all.
Senator Bailey is seemingly reconciled
TO searching Investigation. He is
summonng his supporters to the capital.
The anti Bailey clans are gathering there
also. Inauguration is the excuse, but
they are all engaging lodgings by the
week. Never before has the Texas
Legislature received so many petitions
from the people. DOR have the people
generally be fore this held 50 many mass
meetings to condemn a public official.
OF the petitions, more are against Bailey
than for him, but the disproportlon is
not great.
Feeling has become intense, however,
and several personal encounters between
members have been narrowly averted.
Fear is felt that riot may occur before
the investigation shall be completed, but
this is not likely.
In Austin, the scene Of the battle,
sentiment is overwhelmingly opposed to
Bailey. In the Congregational Church
Sunday, DR.. j. w. Briggs delivered 4
sermon directed at the Bailey situation,
in which at dramatic intervals the three
score members of the Legislature present
with the large congregation half rose,
and, with difficulty, suppressed cheers or
hisses. Abiding to the influences allee
ell TO be ct work with the Legislature.
the speaker said:
"The snakes of Tenedos are after our
beloved country today. They are winding
themse Ives about our beloved State and
about the Senate of the nation. They hiss
in those mighty corporations of remorse-
less capitsl aud ravenous greed. They hiss
in the ears of our legislators when con-
science bids them TO do their duty.
They hiss in the ear Of the politician,
You'll ruin all your political prospects.
They hiss in the ear of the common
man. 'You had better not quarrel with
your bread aud butter
In the Senate tactics of obstruction
are being pursued and the investigation
may be made by the House alone if the
Senate does not act by Wednesday after
noon, when the vote will be taken in the
House.
1t is from the office of the Attorney
General thst most OF the evidence is to
come. Much of this has been made pub
lie. 1t is asserted by the officers Of the
department that much more is ready 10
be submitted.
Mr.. Bailey will not leave Austin until
the election is over, and many members
believe this will keep him away from
Washington throughout the short session
of Congress.

DEFENSES OFTHE CHESAPEAKE
During the course of a speech on the
Notifications appropriation bill in the
House yesterday. Representative Keifer,
of Ohio, dwelt at some length-upon the
importance of the fOrtifcation of the
mouth of Chesapeake Bay, between
Capes Charles and Henry. He said
the proposed defense was a matter
of the first importance, and that the
Taft board on July 81, 1905, had so con-
sidered it. Representative Maynard
gave notice that he would offer an amend
ment when the bill comes up under the
five.minute rule, providing sum Of
money to make surveys.
Coast defenses or land batteries, " said
Gen. Keifer, "always have been and al
ways will be regarded as superior with
like or equivalent guns 70 ships however
armed or armored or TO anything ahoat."
He said that Ceryers's sailing into
Santiago furnished no example to warn
3 hostile fleet not to sail into Chesapeake
Bay. On the contrary, this bay, now
open to friend and foe alike, would invite
a fleet from across the Atlantic to find
safe abiding place therein and hsrborS
from whence il could operate as eircum-
stances might permitS and it would be-
possible for formidable hostile fleet,
when once within the bay itself to close
it against our ships of commerce or OF
war, ami thus cut off Washington, Balti-
more, Annapolis, Richmond, and Nor
folk from the ocean.

New York, March 7.-There was
continued excitement and disorder in
the early stock market today as an
after effect of the turmoil of yester-
day. The opening movement Of prices
indicated that the bear party had re-
covered from the decentralization caus-
ed by the unexpected report yester->
day that the control Of the Reading

the prices was made from the start.
Reading itself relapsed three points
from last nights closing prices, and
Canadian Pacific dropped over three
points on renewal of yesterdays

There were a number of other de-
clines of one and one and a half
among the most active speculative

and the nervous and unsettled state
of the market was shown in the fire.

the mystery surrounding Reading was
the unsettling influence. The iden-

remained in doubt.
