The waste pipe in the pit became clog

One of the damaged engines, No.

luire eight days for each.

Discussed.

House Again, After Long De-

Measures Pending.
HAVE NO MAIL SUBSIDY

WASHINGTON. May 23.--When the
Senate met to-day there was general
understanding that nothing would be
done to delay the final adjournment OF
Congress. and that no legislation would
be enacted beyond completing con-
sidera ton OF the great supply bills.
The net result of the days session
was the adoption of the conference
agreement on the omnibus public build
ings bill and the approYal=of5 a~partlal
agreement on the post-ottice appro-
priation bill, the items in the latter
measure relating 20 Weighing the malls
and ocean mail subsidy being sent back
to conference.
Various questions were discussed
during the day. Senator Teller re-
tons of Federal power under the Con-
stitution, and referred to report that
the President had stated In a letter
that he would veto certain Legislation
II passed by Congress as an evidence
of unwarranted encroachments upon
the powers of the States.
Mr.. Teller was followed by Mr.. Ba-
con. who declared that the Presidents
statement in his message OF March 25th
that he would veto any bill not guard
ing the right OF the government to
charge for power on navigahle streams,
In connection with legislation respect
ing water power privileges. was a
gross breach of the privilege Of the
Senate He said he would have in
troduced resolution providing that
mittee on Privileges and Elections, but
being a member of the minority, he
said his act would have been reg arded
as partisan.
Mr.. Owens, of Oklahoma spoke on his
Joint resolution providing that an
amendment to the Constitution for the
election of Senator's by the people be
submitted to the States for ratification,
and commended that the Legislatures OF
twenty seven States having voted In
favor Of that reform, the Senator's from
those States should support his reso-
luton.
He moved vote on the passage OF
the measure, but a motion to send 1t
to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections was carried by vote of S3
