CONGRESS
summarx nf aenntr.

Washington, May 23.--When ffhe Sen- ate met today there was a general un- derstanding that nothing would be done to delay the final adjournment of Con- gress and that no legislation would be enacted completing consideration of the great supply bills.
 The net result of the days session was the adoption of the conference agreement on the omnibus public build inRs bill and the approval of a partial agreement on the postoface appropri- ation bill, the items in the latter meas ure relating to weighing the mails and ocean mail subsidy being sent back to conference.
 Various questions were discussed during the day. Senator Teller review ed court decisions on the limitations of Federal power under the constitution and referred to a report that the Pres ident had stated in a letter that he would veto certain legislation if passed by Congress as an evidence of unwar- ranted encroachment upon the powers of the States.
 MT. Teller was followed by Mir. Ba- con, who declared that the Presidents statement in his message of March 2s that he would veto any bill not guard ing the right of the Government to charge for power in navigable streams in connection with legislation respect ing water power privileges. was q
 gross pTeaCH Vl the pAAFhSSo oA Nho Senate"
 He said he would have introduced a resolution providing that this matter be considered by the Committee on Privileges and Elections, but being q member of the minority he feared his act would have been regarded as par tisan.
 MT. Owen. of Oklahoma. spoke on his joint resolution providing that an amendment to the Constitution for the election of Senators by the people be submitted to the States for ratification, and contended that the Legislatures of twenty-seven States having voted ir favor of that reform the Senators from those States should support his rsso- lution. He moved a vote on the pass age of the measure, but a motion to send it to the Committee on Privileges and Elections was carried by a vote of S3 to 20.
 Intellectual efforts were made by Mir. Beveridge to pass the omnibus terri tories bill. and by Mir. Newlands to se- cure consideration of his resolution ers- ating an inland waterways commission.
 At 5:30 p. m, just before the close of the days session, Mir. Hale an- nounced an agreement made in execu- tive session 70 take a recess until 6 D. m, with the understanding that the night session would be devoted sxclu- sively to considering conference re- ports and such measures as could be taken up by unanimous consent. Mir. Hale had previously stated his -belief that Congres could adjourn by 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.

INDEPENDENCE DEMANDED

Washington, July N.-(Special.) )-Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church, and president of the Ma tional Negro American and Political league, which was organized to work up opposition to Judge Taft, has his blood up. He charges that the officeholding negroes are trying to bring bull-dozing methods to bear upon members of the various flocks in Washington, and that if Taft should be elected certani negroes holding positions under the government will be discharged if they do not find 8 way to silence the negro preachers. He says that he has been threatened by ne- groes holding positions in the depart ments, and that the threats commenced as soon as it was announced that he had accepted the presidency of the league.
 In a sensational talk to his flock Dr. Waldron said, among other things: T was informed only last night (whether

Rights of Americans.

Free speech and an untrammelled pull pit are among the things dearer than life to every true American citizen, and we do not propose to yield these rights or see them taken from any one else without en- tering our protest and doing everything in our power to dethrone the party that countenances such despicable practices.
 'I am preaching upon politics in the hope of awakening part at least of the citizens of Washington from the lethargy which prevails here relative to their rights and privileges as American citi- zens and to warn them against the ser vility to those in power and the greed for political office which have fastened them selves upon tens of thousands of people in this city.
 Every vote cast by colored man for William J. Bryan is one vote cast for the manhood and political rights of the race, and two votes cast against William H. Taft and the Roosevelt policies.
 Every vote cast by colored man for the socialist, the independence or prohibit ton party is one vote cast for the man. hood and political rights of the race, and a half vote cast against William H. Taft and the Roosevelt policies.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
sharpcst Break Since So-callcd Main,
 Election Scare.

New York, Dee, l7.-There was the sharpest break in the prices of stocks today that has occurred since the so- called election scare following the Maine election in September Specula- tive holdings were thrown on the mar let at concessions that gave an ap- pearance of cmi-demoralizatiou The most significant feature was not the volume of the liquidation which was not unusually heavy as is witnessed by the moderate total of the days sales but the total abandonment of the ro7 cent support of the market. That policy was thrown aside today either because of the diminishing supply of banking credits with which to main tain it or because of dissatisfaction of those who have followed it with some
 of the features in the outlook for af-
 fairs, That the burden of sustaining prices at the extremely advanced level to which they have reached is increas-
 ed by the construction of money sup plies Is certain, in spite of the moder- ate effect thus far produced on the open rates for money Loan negotia- tons affecting the affairs of large and influential capitalists will act in the

When the market began its heavy break of the forenoon, the Stock Exchange de- olared itself not at an surprised A day or two ago, however. the verdict seem ed to be that the market was "too firmly held to make severe break possible The reason for this ac- qniescence in thc downward course of prices was the evident abandonment of thlmhle-rigging tactics for the rise, which suggested to the obsorvaut trad er that the market had been left to take care of itself This caused more or less quick professional selling, and that, in turn. brought prices to level whore weakly -margined "pyramided" accounts were forced upon the market.
