The shifts on to-day's ballot were:

Douglas to Seymour Van Santvoord;
Assemblyman Evans, from Shepard to
John c. r. Taylor; Assemblyman Mar
tin. from Douglas to Herman.
The Joint session OF the two Houses,
after the balloting. was again enlivened
with a squabble which indicated how
frayed the tempers here are getting. Sen
ator Wagner began II by declaring that
the business of this session was further
advanced than that Of any other session
he had attended. despite the deadlock.
Senator Bracket questioned the pro-
priety Of the occasion for such a proc
lamation."
Assemblyman Merritt called attention
TO the fact that most of the much

Senator SAKE. who stayed out of the
caucus and has voted against Sheehan
said he had no trouble in getting his
committee organized and getting a clerk
and stenographer.
Grady pressed his point Of order. and
Lieutenant Governor Conway sus-
tanned It.
Thereupon Senator Bracket said he
purposed. on this statement of Senator
Roosevet's. early next week to move for
an inquiry by the Privileges and Elec-
lions Committee to see whether con-
tempt of the Senate had not been COM
mitted. That moved big Tim" Sullivan
TO try to pour oil on the waves.
ITS all right for you to wake up that
nice, decent. innocent young man to try
to make us a minority" said he to
Bracket for that's what that innocent
young man will do il he amt careful.

Senator Roosevelt thanked Sullivan for
his highly complimentary remarks, but
said he had no ring in his nose by which
Bracket could lead him. There had
been no communication between them,
he said and no attempt to form any
combination.
The ballot taken at this point showed
no losses by Mr.. Sheehan. a loss of one
vote by Mr.. Shepard and the addition
of two new candidates to the list, which
now numbers thirteen. Seymour Van

"TRAMPLING ON TREATIES
London Graphic" Worried by Mr.
Taft's Canal Message.
IRy Cable 70 The Trlbunr. ]

London, Jan. 12.-English newspapers
seem to be troubled by the announce
ment that President Taft has addressed
special message to Congress asking for
the immediate appropriation Of 5000
600 to fortify the Panama Canal.
'The Daily Graphic says: "E' is not
little remarkable that, although the
project has been talked about for some
time past and the proposal now made
was foreshadowed I'm the Presidential
message at the opening of Congress, We
have heard nothing of representations
on behalf of Great Britain to the gov
ernment at Washington. Are we to un-
derstand that Sir Edward Grey has been
dumb in the face of this scandalous pro-
pCsal to trample on solemn treaties?
President Taft probably argues that ST.
lence gives consent or betokens timldty.
Perhaps Sir Edward Grey will have the
goodness TO explain. It was owing TO
similar silence on his part that the Bos
nian affair developed into 50 serious an
international crisis.

sums
Il have authorized the submission to the
Secretary OF the Treasury Of the revised
estimate for the appropriation referred TO

tary of War, which estimate is less than

third"
The modified report OF the fortihcations

the estimate for fertilization OF the canal

ports have been thoroughly examined. The
