SCUTARI FALLS.
POWERS MAY

Austria Proposes that the

and if Such Action is not
Taken she may Attempt
to do so.
RY Assoc1ArEp Press.

London, April 2s.-News of the cap
ture of Scutari by the Montenegrins
was the cause Of demonstrations Of Joy
at all the allied capitals, notably Bel
grade. The Bulgarian premier sent
congra tulations to the Montenegrin
premier. The first effect Of the fort
ress' fall has been the extension Of
the International naval blockade to
Durazzo. It is difficult to forecast the
powers next step. Russia doubts the
DO ssfbiiIty of coercing Montenegro.
Austria has proposed to the powers
the compelling of Montenegro to evac-
uate Scutari but it is not certain that
such a proposition will be welcomed.
Austria may ask for a mandatory or
der from the powers to compel Monte
negro to evacuate. She believes a
force of forty thousand can accomplish
the task without bloodshed. Unless
the powers act Immediately Austria
may act alone.
The European press regards the sit
ua ton as extremely serious. An am
bassadoria conference met in London
and discussed peace negotiations.

lieves that peace will be restored ulti.

Wool and Sugar
ariff Bill Is
Up In Senate
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, April 23.-After sena-
tors from western states had argued
for three hours against free wool and
sugar. the opinion of the senate finance
committee that the bill agreed to in
the house caucus be left intact re-
manned unshaken. The measure, so
far as wool and sugar is concerned,
will be reported favorably to the SEN
ate in the form adopted by the house
democrats, the president having ap-
proved 1t.
Unless the western senators sue
ceed in convincing President Wilson
that the tariff measure should be al
tered, they will find 1t unchanged when
the finance committee brings It before
the senate for action. The democrats
who are examining the bill have not
yet reached the sugar and wool para
raphers, but the intention of the ma
jority to approve ii is plain.
No mention was made at today's
conference of the bolt by the senator's
who opposed placing wool and sugar
on the free list. Those opposing the
plan may discuss the matter with the
president soon. Senator Newlands,
who effected the conference, desired
to see the president today, but his plan
was abandoned at the suggestion of
influential members of the finance
committee.

Huge Strike
In Brussels Is
At An End
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Brussels. April 2S.-The general
strike committee today today ex-
pressed the belief that all strikers
would obey implicitly any orders to re-
turn to work. and the committee
adopted a resolution declaring that the
strike has shown conclusively the
strength as well as the solidarity of
the laboring class. The strike brought
a question of universal manhood suf-
frage before the public, raised a de-
bate in the chamber of deputies which
caused the premier to declare his in
tentions.
The socialists say the strike has pro-
duced all the results that they expect
ed and therefore the socialist congress
should issue an Immediately order for
resumption of work.
Some dissatisfaction stin exists
among the strikers. The rank and file,
however, rejoiced when the meaning of
the chamber of deputies action was
explained Some have already re-
turned to work.
