Attendance Light at Opening
\ OF the Second Days
Fight.
MEMBERS TAGGED OUT
Williams and Payne, However,
Are on Hand and Promptly I
Resume HostiIities.

Washington, April 3.-The house
committee on rules today agreed to
the program to break the existing fill
buster. 1t provides for the passage
of deficiency appropriation bill now
before the house without an interme-
date motion and for dispensing with
the first reading of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill. 1t limits
general debate on the district bill to
two hours.
started by First Motion.
Washington, d. c., April 3.-There
was a slim attendance of members
when the house convened today due to
the strenuous session of yesterday.
Both Payne and Williams, majority
and minority leaders, however were
on hand prepared for further parlia-
mentary struggle which, was soon
again under way.
1t was precipitated by motion by
Payne for the approval of the journal
of yesterdays proceedings. On that
motion roll call was forced by Will
liams. The call served to bring out
the full strength OF both parties. Par
tisians on both sides are evidently de-
termined to conduct fight to the fin
ish.
Filibusterins In House.
Washington, d. c., April 3.-The
democrats in the house, under the
leadership of John Sharp Williams.

vigorous filibusters ever conducted in
that body. s. ~, e4s
The democrats did not get into ac-
tion until after the passage of the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill. There
upon Representative Payne, the house
leader of the republicans, threw down
the gauntlet to the democrats and noti
fed them that the republicans did not
propose to accept their ideas. as to
what the program of legislation should
be.
Williams Accepts Challenge.
Minority Leader Williams accepted
the challenge, whereupon the demo
Gratis resorted to all the obstructive
tactics known to parliamentary law on
every pIOpOSltlOn lndt GAME up lOi
consideration.
After forcing thirteen roll calls and
exhausting their parliamentary re
sources in employment of dilatory tao
tics, the democrats found themselve:
worsted in the struggle, the majorit.
side at 10:09 o'clock carrying motion
10 adjourn by the vote of 121 to 81.
Many Changes Made.
The agricultural appropriation bill
carries s11,50S,S06. 1t had been unde
discussion for nine days, and from th'
time it's consideration began until th
end its provisions were attacked a
every turn, with the result that it un
derwent many changes.
Just before its passage Mr.. Scott o
Kansas, chairman of the agriculture
committee, made an unsuccessful figh
to have stricken out the amendmeR
adopted considerably increasing tn
appropriation for soil investigations.

RETIRED WITH HoNoRs.

It is fitting that the celebration at Lake Mohonk to mark the retirement of Rear Admiral Evans should have been so successful. The interest of the nation was aroused in the ceremony which called attention once more to the eminent service of Fight ing Bob Evans ''--who in his person and in his career has so worthily fol lowed in the footsteps of his predecess- ors and maintained the high traditions of naval service whose glory is second to none in the world.
 Robley Dunglison Evans, sixty-two years old, stands today. in spite of his honorable retirement from active ser vice, representative of the American spirit, and as we today look back, with something like reverence for the glory they won, on those other American sail ors, John Paul Jones, Esek Hopkins, Decatur, Hull, Lawrence, Farragut, and the rest, we can mark how honorably and bravely the line has been continued through him. Born in the south, he re- mained loyal during the civil war, and beginning as an ensign he served his country so we'll that the scars of the wounds he got at the storming of Fort Fisher are with him still. In the war with Spain, as captain, he rem dered efficient service, and made good his claim to that title given to him years ago by his sailors, Fighting Bob.''
 During his long career of active ser vice, Admiral Evans has done much, too, for the cause of peace, and, throughout, his career is one on which he must be able to look back with fine satisfaction, not only at the opportun- ities that have come to nm 70 serve his country brilliantly and ably, but at the way he was able to use the chances that came to him. The loss of his ser vice to the nation is not light one, but the infrmities of age, aggravated by the accidents of a strenuous life, make his retirement necessary
 The meeting, with the expressions of love and sympathy that came to him. must assure him he has won an honored place in the hearts of his countrymen, and that his name is added to that i'm perishable list of sea fighters who through every peril held the Stars and Stripes aloft.
