Senate Going Slowly.

The Senate will not enter hastily upon
an official investigation of the bribery
charges against Senator Lorinler OF Hi
nois. The committee on privileges and
elections, which will decide whether there
shall be an inquiry at all. has no formal
charges before il at this time. and the
members are inclined TO wait until some-
thing definite is filed in Washington.
Senator Lorimers resolution, which
was presented by him at the close of hfS
speech in the Senate last Saturday was
today reported favorably from the COM
mittee on contingent expenses. The reso-
luton then was referred II the privileges
and elections committee, OF which Sem
ator Burrows Is Chairman This con-
stitutes all that the committee has before
IT, and since the accused senator has
asked only for an inquiry into the news
paper charges against him the members
OF the committee are inclined to walt Tor
something more definite.
To Wait for Courts.
It Is said that il any Of the grand jury
records In the cases of members of the
Illinois legislature were fled with the
Senate and referred 10 Senator Burrows
committee they would be regarded as
sufficient to compel action Immediately.
The committee would be disposed To act.
II is said. even upon the fling OF tho
charge made by the Chicago Tribune, if
that corporation presented its case and
stood behind the charges. What the COM
mittee would prefer TO do would be to
wait until some one of the several cases
in the Illinonis courts against members
of the legislature had been concluded in
the courts.

Machines Take Their Places.

The reductions in the force made today.
it was stated. follow the introduction OF
labor-saving devices and machinery in
the department. Those made in the
auditors Office were due to the inStal1a-
ton of additional adding machines. as
noted In The Star some months ago. when
Auditor Chance expressed the belief that
he would be able to take care OF all the
employees displaced by the machines.
While Il was said in the chief clerk
office at the Treasury Department today
that It was not contemplated that there
would be any more dismissals in the
department for the present. the remark
was made that the seventy-three EN-
plcyes, which at another time was said
10 be eighty-fve. were simply ''the :rst
batch.' leaving the impression that there
had been at least a second batch. or
that more dismiss were TO follow
Those who are charged with giving out
information CT this kind are always re-
luctant to tell what they know. While
they will answer specific questions, they
seldom volunteer any information, 1t Is
said. SO that the real situation may be
more or less clouded with data that is
withheld.
II is reported that a similar wedding
out process is going on in the other de-
part1nents, as we'll as in the Treasury.
The Postmaster Generals inquiry of bu-
reau heads for specific information as
to the number quality and salaries OF
his clerks is believed to foreshadoW
considerable reduction there to carry ont

LONDON, June 1-Mr. Roosevelt's
speech at GuiIdhall yesterday con-
tinued today to be the sensation of
the newspapers throughout ~ coun-
try. The editorial comment upon
his startling utterances concerning
British rule in Egypt were Influenced.

Situation Is Complicated.

The situation is seriously complicated
By representations that although the
Adelaide and Espuerzo are American
owned and We're flying the United States
flag when seized, they are both registered
as Nicaraguan vessels. The Adelaide is
apparently still in the possession of the
Madriz party. as is also part of the cargo
of the Espuerzo. The demand for their
return may easily lead to open hostilities
between the United States forces and the
Madriz forces. Under his instructions
Commander Gilmer will undoubtedly re-
sort to force. if necessary, to secure the
return OF the seized ships and CdrSoeS.
That would mean the end of the MadrlZ
navy
II is admitted that the action taken
by the United States government viii
practically destroy all of MadriZ' $
chances for the capture Of BlueIeldS.
His army is not allowed to enter Blue
fields, bombardment is prohibited and

Secretary Knox has sustained the right
to absolute control over the affairs OF
BluetieldS, Nicaragua. including the col
lection of customs and other dues. The
attitude of this government in the quar-
rel between the MadriZ and the Estrada
factions on that point is indicated in in
structiCnS cabled to Commander Gimec.
comma nding the United States forces at
Blue iieius, as follows:
The attitude of the United States re-
mains precisely as set forth in the Secre-
tary of States letter to Rodriguez on De-
cember /. 1909, which continues entirely
applicable To the present situation. The
capture by the Madriz faction of the for
mer customs house at the bluff does not
affect the fact that BluetieldS, with ceI-
tain adjacent territory. for which goods
passing that customs house are intended.
appears to remain as heretofore. under
the de facto control of the Estrada fac
ton.
This government therefore admits the
right of the Estrada faction to collect
customs for BluetieldS. and denies this
right to the other faction.
InasInuch this government recognizes
neither faction as a government OF Me
aragua, but merely as in de facto control
OF portions Of the country. proclamatlons
on either part which are inconsistent
with this attitude are without effect on
the United States and its citizens.

Seizure of Vessels.

The consul at Bluefelds reports that
the -Amcrcan-owned s,oop Adelaide has
been seized by the Nadriz faction. and
that the American-owned schooner rs
fuerZo was stopped and its American
owned cargo seized by those in control at
the biuff. This government tenies the righ.
of either faction to seize American-owned
vessels o: property without consent or
and recompense TO the owners. In such
cases you will instantly act in accord
encc With this police
You will Immediately notify both fac
tons and the shipping interests OF the
foregoing.
The announcement that this government
denies the right of the Madriz faction to
seize the sloop Adelaide and the schooner
FsfuerZo, as was done some days ago by
the Venus. indicates that a demand will
be made for their return, together with
their cargOes. to their American owners.
Should that demand not be complied with
Commander Gilmer is directed to take
such steps as may be necessary to secure
the return of the ships and the punish
ment Of the party responsible for their
seizure. The State Department officials,
however. decline TO state what course will
be taken should this exigency arise.
