II SEEMED 10 BE DEAD
A Revival This Morning and Time Fixed for a Vote The President Firm in His Purpose to Call an Extra Session.

Washington, March 2.-The death
 hneli of the bill creating d perman-
 ent tariff board of five members was sounded late this afternoon in the senate
 The democrats had conducted what they believed to be a successful fiIi-
 buster against it, although they stren- uously protested that their tactics
 should not be so considered. Sena-
 tor after senator on the democratic
 slde, arose to speak. Nothing but
 talk and more of it in sight. and
 from the leisurely way the senators
 were going about their remarks. the
 proceedings might easily have been
 mistaken for the dull days of De- cember rather than coming within forty hours of the constitutional time for adjournment
 The regular "stand-patr senators who yielded the conduct of the tar iff board bill to the "Progressives" and who agreed that the bill should remain unfinished business" as long as there seemed a chance of it pass- ing, began to realize that they were backing what appeared to be a lost cause.
 At 4:55 when the attempt to force the tariff board bill to vote was abandoned. MT. McCumber called for the pension appropriation bill. This had the effect Of laying aside the tariff board bill indefinitely. The democrats offered no objection 70 the pension bill carrying S155. .OOO. 900 un- til NIT. Scott attempted to put the Sulloway general service pension bill Cn the appropriation measure as A rider. The Sulloway bill would have added about $50,00O.OO0 to the annual roll. It would grant pensions indis- criminately to all veterans of the Civil war who have served ninety Gays and had reached the age of 62.
 .dr. Lodge saw trouble coming and had made a point of order to the amendment declaring it to be an at tempt to put general legislation in an appropriation bill. While the toint was Lending. Mir. Curtis pleaded for the amendment. MT. sherman sus- taIned the point of order and the regular appropriatO on bill was then passed.
 Following the disposition of the pension bill. the senate took up and disposed Of the diplomatic and consular bill carrying s47,OOO. 900 and tho Qualification bill carrying S45.- c00.OOo. required just fifteen min utes to get these three supply meas ures out of the way
 This was too rapid to suit the Ilans | of MT. owen and when the military academy appropriation bill carrying si.SOo,OOO was taken up, he began | httle filihuster. He first insisted that | he would rot consent to have dis | pensed with the first formal reading | of the bill, covering thirty four pages. l Several senators. both democratic and | republican, gathered about his desk | and pleaded with him not to stand in | the way Of the supply bills.
 T want to force an extra session." | he tod t,tem. This congress has no | moral right tU pass these measures"
 While the senator was engaged in explaining his attitude, the reading clerk through pure inadvertence' | overlooked about fifteen pages of the | pill and the first thing owen knew Inc bill was being read the second time for amendment Along toward | six o'clock it was announced that a recess until S:15 would be asked for Owen said he would let the military academy bill pass.
