Washington, April 9. Yesterdays
session of the house will go down as
one of the stormiest in its history.
The sum total Of the days proceed
ings was the adoption of several addi.
tional rules to further check the Dem
ocratic filibuster and the passing of
the two resolutions introduced by
Speaker Cannon calling on the depart
ment of justice and the department of
commerce and labor for certain infor-
nation regarding the so-called paper
trust.
There were nine roll calls during
the day, five of them on the new rules.
The Democrats exhausted their re-
sources before they were made to feel
that the Republicans by sheer force of
numbers had beaten them at every
point. The debate brought all the
leaders of the house to the front. The
Democrats were again charged with
making the special rules necessary by
reason of their filibuster, while the
Democrats reasserted that they at last
were causing the majority to enact
legislation.

ROOSEVELT TO TRAVEL ABROAD
viii Spend First Year After Retirement
From White House In For.
eign Lands.

Washington, April IA. - Should
President Roosevelt's present desirs
be realized he will spend the first year
after his retirement from office in
travel outside the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt's itinerary, however,
has not been determined. His plan is
to see some Of the rugged and little
frequented portions of foreign lands,
as we'll as to travel the beaten track
of the tourists.
That the president will indulge his
fondness for hunting big game is be-
lieved by those to whom he has con.
fided his intention.
1t was at the recent dinner of the
Boone and Crockett club in this city
that the president last told of his in
tentions for next year. He was told
of the opportunities for hunting in
Alaska and urged to arrange for a trip
there. This, he said, would interfere
with his plan for foreign travel, and
would have to be considered, if at all,
at some future time.
President Roosevelt is quoted as
adding at this time:
IF William Taft is nominated and
elected president, which would be
very gratifying, it would make impos-
sible criticism, if we're abroad, to the
effect that l was debating to him or
that l had dictated or had been turned
down in my suggestions"

pared to stop the running of cars by
strikebreakers. The first car out Of

in 1t broken. This absolutely tied up
every line of cars in Chester. While
the strikers held themselves in readi-

ance aroused the ire of the strikers
and the officers were stoned and rush
ed by the mob, but were finally driven
back.

ed police were compelled to charge
the crowds and there were incipient
riots, but the worst disturbance came
at nightfall, when the strikers, aug
mented by several thousand men and
women, charged the mounted police.
Turn Hose on Mob.
Some one turned in an alarm of fire
and the engine came changing through
the crowded streets, driving the peo-
pie right and left. The firemen were
instructed to turn the water on the

made.
The situation, while serious, is be-
neved to presage no great trouble, and
an effort will be made to-day to arbi-
trate the differences with the strikers.
The strike was precipitated by the
traction company announcing 10
per cent reduction in wages.

ion of the possibilities of a war be.
tween the United States and Japan.
n line with his we'll known views Oh
the subject, Mr.. Hobson Of Alabama
Pleaded for four battleships instead OF
two for the next fiscal year, and point
ed out that from now on the United
States should have fixed policy with
regard to naval construction. A war
between the yellow and white races
he regarded as inevitable, and he as
serted that Japan's present military
activity was with view to suprema-
cy Of the Pacific and as a natural con.
sequence there would be a clash at
arms with the United States.
On the other hand, Messrs. Burton
of Ohio and w. w. Ktchtn e. North

each Of them avowing that the clash
not only would not como, but that the
United States should remain in the
forefront Of modern civilization as the
