SENATE FACES DEADLOCK
Republicans Will Force the
Fight on Nominations.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Republicans OF
the Senate will assume the offensive In
the fight over nominations and force the
controversy TO direct issue. Senator
Smoot and other leaders are confident
sufficient opposition to the tactics OF the
Democrats can he mustered to maintain
an executive session indefinitely, with the
result of bringing all legislative business
to a standstil II this retaliatory NIL
buster is carried to a successful concur
sion, all of the appropriation bills VIII go
over until the special session.
AS the Democrats will stand by the de-
oision Of the caucus Of last week and per-
nit only the army and navy and diplo-
matte nominations to be confirmed, there
is a prospect OF fihbustering in the Senate
from now until March 4. Unless com
promise is reached, which does not now
seem probable. the present session Will
end in a storm as the other session OF
this Congress ended
Up to the present the Senate mas
achieved practically nothing in the way OF
disposing of the task BEFORE il during the
short session. or the sixteen appronria-
ton bills, including the rivers and har-
bors bill and the public buildings bill, not
one has been passed. Consideration oil

est in the proposed amendment has per-
ceptibly waned since the election.

Practise if Released.

Porter Charlton, who Is a prisoner In

for his minor needs by rafting a set OF

Charlton is popular with the attaches
of the Jail. who are assisting him in dis
posing OF the chances and arranging Tor
the drawing, which is TO take place at a
hosiery opposite the jail next Saturday
night
Charlton's explanation is that he has
been a heavy drain on his fathers eX-
cheauer and feels he should relieve 1t
as far as possible. especially since his
father having resigned as Governor OF
Porto Rico is deprived of that certain
income.
Charlton. who an expert has declared
is tubercular, has a persistent cough, but
is active, and having a knowledge OF
medicine, which was enriched by study
since his Incarceration, has been put In
charge of the jail medicine department
under the direction of County Physician
King He is permitted to put up prescrlp-
tons that contain harmless drugs. the
prisoner spends his many leisure minutes
in reading law and assiduously digests a
copy of Blackstone. and is also studying
the legal features of his own case.
He seems confident that the United
States government will refuse to surren-
der him to Italy. and that he will be lid
Grated, after which he contemplates prac-
Using law.
Charlton murdered his wife at villa
on the bank OF Lake Como, In Italy. lie

cred few days later by fisherman. The
Identification was quickly established. and
Charlton was arrested a Hoboken OH the
arrival of the steamer in August, 1910 his
extradition has been pending since. There
is an obstacle in the way OF surrender. as
Italy has insisted on its right TO try It's
own citizens when arrested within its Dor
ders for crimes committed In other coun-
tries,
