drafted by the Democrats purely for po-
ltical purposes II is not expected It VIII
evor become a law.
The wool bill passed by the House over
the Presidents veto was also received by
the Senate to-day. Democratic leaders,
who have not regarded the measure in
any other light than that OF campaign
oxpediency were much disquietcd at the
possibility that it will be passed over the
veto In the Senate.
Fearing that the bill. II 1t should be-
come a law, would have disturbing el-
feet on the woollen industry and arouse
opposition to the Democratic party be-
cause of It's tariff tinkering, the Senate
minority leaders decided they would make
no attempt To repass H. In this they Will
probably be disappointed. as their III
surgent allies have expressed determl-
nation TO demand a vote not only on tho
wool bill, but also on the steel bill, which
was repassed by the House to-day.

ocrats. II was through his efforts that
the bill was taken up to-day.
The delay Of the United States in meet
ing It's obligations under the agreement
has been due 10 the revival of the old
controversy over the question whether the
killing of surplus male seals contributes
10 the perpetuation Of the seal herds. De
spite the fact that scientific authorities
are practically unanimous on this point
and advocate the killing Of surplus males,
and that foreign governments take the
same attitude. Senator hitchcock sue
oeeded In delaying action on the bill to-
day by raising the cry of fraud and inti-
mating that government officials charged
with supervision OF the seals were In a
conspiracy. He called them butchers, .
