ment to Come Today.

Washington. Aug, 23.-Veterans OF
congress failed tonight to recall an.
other such time" ending of congress

bate in either branch, and the confer.
ence report was adopted by both
houses today
The senate passed the general def
cheney bill after short debate and
conferences will adjust differences of
the two houses on this measure to-
morrow. The postoffice appropriation
bill was the last to pass the senate.
The general deficiency bill, as it
passed the senate, carried nearly s12,-
100000 almost double the amount of
the house bill. Many amendments
were q iooted in the senate.
Chief among the senate's additions
was the item of $4,000 to repay con
tributors to the ransom fund for Ellen
M Stone, the American missionary
captured in 1901 by Bulgarian bri-
gands
An amendment changing the title of
the Office of the supervising architect

report on the postoffice appropriation
bill after a short discussion Of the

ference committee.

Governor Woodrow Wilson's visit to
the democratic national headquarters
in the Fifth Avenue Building, New
York, brought to light the complete
democratic spirit of the man.
Governor Wilson's visit was unan-
nounced and he did not reach head
quarters until eight o'clock at night
He found Josephus Daniels, chairman
of the publicity bureau, and his force
hard at work. And this was true in
every other department
Governor Wilson met the various
employees and expressed his regret
that they were giving their time to
night duties.

conferees Agree on Four Great Supply
5iIIs-siemen's Good Roads
Provision Adopted.

Washington, Aug. 23.-With celer.
ity that hiteherto has not marked the
session, congress today rushed toward
completion four great supply bills and
tonight looks forward confidently to
adjournment Saturday. Conferees on
the sundry civil, Indian, army and
postofice appropriation measures
reached agreements on those bills to-
day The legislative, Indian and sun,
dry civil measures were passed by
the senate and the general deficiency
bill, the last of the big supply meas
ures to be taken up was reported in
the senate, and the ways creased for
its consideration The house took no
action on appropriation legislation
further than to order all conference
reports printed in the Record SO that
prompt action could be had tomorrow.
Unlike the senates quick work, by
which the three bills were rushed
through in less than ten minutes, the
house is expected to develop sharp
clashes on both the sundry civil and
the Indian bills.
/ Leaders on both sides however, did
not regard these difficulties tonight as
being reconcilable before adjournment
tomorrow, and it is believed the ex-
ecutive decks will be comparatively
clear
i A fight developed in the senate on
the army bill over the proposed seven
year term of enlistment. The admin
istration measure and the postoffice
appropriation finally were carried over
until tomorrow's session.
4 Radical change sin the postal serv.

and senate on the postofIice bill

was empowered with the consent OF
the interstate commerce commission
to change the rates, zones and articles

to study the working of the systems
The "Sigmen's good roads provi
sion" was adopted. This appropriates
$500,0O0 for experimental road con
struction with a joint committee to

The senate provision requiring
newspapers to publish semi-annually
a list of stockholders was adopted and
another provision added to require
every newspaper to print statement
of its average daily circulation.
The house eight-hour labor provi
sion was agreed to together with tie
clause for the payment for overtime

The harmony telegram that Chair
man William F. McCombs, OF the dem
ocratic national committee, sent the
California democrats who we're split
in two factions, has had the effect of
solilifying all elements OF the party

man and national committeeman, say
ing that every true friend of Cover
nor Wilson would work in harmony
with any other democrat. Today Chair
man McCombs received letter from

cratic state committee of California, in
which he said:
I'VE are happy to report to you that
the meeting Of our state central com
mittee resulted in a love-feast. A har
mony committee of ten was appointed
and the report was almost unanimousl,
adopted. Our party is now solidified
and all unite in carrying Californi
for Wilson and Marshall"
In addition, McCombs received LEI
ters from Mr.. J. B. Sanford, the nj
tional committeeman, and Mr.. Thee

THREE TO ONE ON
WOODROW WILSON

New York, Aug. 24-More than
10000 letters have been received at
democratic national headquarters in
the Fifth Avenue building, New York,
within the past week from every state
in the Union, dealing with the politi-
cal condition throughout the country.
These letters have been examined
with care by the various bureaus. and
the majority of them contained infor.
nation of the most encouraging ma
ture, as well as valuable suggestions
to the democratic leaders.
Never in the history of the party
have the chances been SO bright for
a democratic victory. Betting is a
matter of opinion, but the odds as
quoted in New York, have gone to 21b
on Wilson. At the opening of the
campaign the odds were from 11b to
2. During the past few days there
were many wagers being offered at
21a to one on the success of the demo-
cratic ticket.
So far there have been but few wag-
ers recorded, the majority of the Wall
Street sharks declaring that the odds
will go to at least 3 and possibly to
one in favor of Wilson.

The democratic hand book for 1912
will be off the press by the first of
September. This book is by all odds
the most pretentious, complete, accur-
ate and interesting book that has been
turned out by national committee in
more than score of years.
The first issue will number $4,000
books, each copy containing more
than 300 pages.
Robert w. Wooley, who was in
charge of the gathering of evidence
for the Stanley Steel committee. and
who is one of the best known Wash
ington newspaper men in the country,
has been devoting all his time to the
preparation of the hand book, assist
ed by an able corps of other Washing
ton correspondents and members of
congress.
The book is being printed on good
paper, well bound, and the democratic
arguments are SO marshalled that the
book is sure to prove a valuable docu-
ment to all friends of democracy.
