Their Demands After
a Filibuster.
FORCE CANAL MEASURE
Threat to Tie Up Adjournment
Until Consideration is Given
to Several Items.

Washington. July f7-The demo
cratic forces in the senate practically
won a demand for consideration of re-
naming tariff bills and an excise bill.
This was the result of conferences on
the floor at the opening of democrat
ic filibuster.
AS far as they could republican SEN
ators agreed to accede to the demo-
cratic demand, with the understanding
that the democrats abandon tne I'LL
buster and agree to allow the tariff
bills to go to a ballot after compar-
atively brief discussion.
AMENDMENTS OFFERED.
A formal agreement among the re-
publicans was not Immediately reach
ed owing to a desire of some of the
principals to offer amendments to the
wool bill.
Democratic leaders declined to stop
the filibustering against the sundry
civil bill until an actual agreement
was made. They forced the senate to
take up the Panama canal measure.
Simmons announced he would en-
deavor again tomorrow to call up the
wool bill.
PREVENT ADJOURNMENT.
A democratic filibuster in the SEN
ate to force consideration of the wool,
sugar and excise tax bills was indi-
Gated early today. The attempt to
force consideration of the wool bill
was defeated, 35 to 2S, republican
progressives voting with the regulars.
| Simmons intimated the democrats
/ might decline to permit adjournment

He based his argument on the let
ter written by the president under
date of Jan. 6, 1911, to Theodore
Roosevelt, in which he spoke of his
interest in the Lorimer case and men
toned the names of several senators
whose interest therein he likewise had
aroused.
Most of the senators mentioned, in
cluding Borah and Crawford, pro.
gressives, and Burton and Jones, de.
MED that the president had sought to
bring any improper influence upon
them and Senator Borah assumed re
sponsibility for the presidents letter
to Colonel Roosevelt, declaring that
he had urged its writing to prevent
what he believed would be a miscar
riage of justice if an editorial attack
on Lorimer planned by the former
president was printed.
