with the approval Of the Democrats
of the senate finance committee when
the bill is brought before the Demo-
cratic caucus Of the senate. For
three hours today, six senators from
states west of the Missouri river,
argued with a majority OF the Demo
Gratis Of the finance committee against
free wool and free sugar. They We're
listened to attenIlvely and may De
heard again. When they had COM
pleted their arguments, however, the
committee had not changed Its opinion
that the bill as agreed by the house
caucus, in so far as wool and sugar
were concerned, would be presented
in the same form to the senate. The
Democrats Of the committee who are
examining the Underwood bill have
not reached the sugar or wool para
graphs but 1t was the plain intention
of the majority to approve them.
There was no talk at the conference
today of q bolt among senators VINO
opposed putting these articles on the
free list. The opinion was expressed
that those who appeared IN behalf OF
sugar and wool might see President
Wilson within few days and discuss .s
the reason for their opposition with
him. The first plan Of Senator New
lands, who brought about the confer
ence, was to have the president at to-
DAYS hearing. At the suggestion OF
influential members OF the hnance
committee, however, this plan was
abandoned. ... '.,

Brussels, April %: AS the strikers
so far have religiously obeyed all the
directions Of their leaders there seems
to be no likelihood that they will dis
regard, the desire to return to work,
unanimously expressed by the strike
committee today. This committee
adopted a resolution proposed by M,
Vandervelde, affirming that the gener-
4 al strike had impressively evidenced
" the strength and solidarity or the Ia
boring classes; that 1t had brought the
question of universal suffrage before
the public in the clearest possible
manner, and that 1t had raised a de-
bate in the chamber Of deputies caus-
ing the premier clearly to define his
Intentions, which have been placed on
record by the vote OF the chamber.
The general strike had thus produced
all the results that could be expected
and for this reason the socialists con-
gress should be asked to order an i'm
mediate resumption Of work. The
same leaders will propose similar
resolution in the congress tomorrow
It cannot be denied that there Is q
certain amount Of dissatisfaction,
particularly among the miners and
textile workers. Two thousand or the
latter, employed at Verviers, met to-
day and voted by an overwhelming
majority to continue the strike. But
the rank and file among the strikers,
while they suspended judgment at
first, as they were unable to under-
stand the points Of the parliamentary
procedure involved in the chamber,
rejected when the full import of this
action was explained to them, in the
belief that the way Is now open 1or
universal suffrage. A certain number
already have anticipated the order
to return to their tasks, but the ma
jority will await the findings Of the
congress. The clerical press asserts
that Deputy Mason's resolution adopt
ed by the chamber yesterday does
not alter the status quo in the slight
est, and the Socialists and Liberals
realize that they have no definite
pledge for a revision Of the constltu-
ton. Nevertheless, they have conn.,
derce in the moral lien they have on
the government for the fulhli
ment Of long desired end. The cleri-
cal leader, NJ. Wooste, is quoted as
toned him: "Well, now. you can
chant your paean Of victory"
Cettiuje, April %: After a final
desperate attack lasting "a hours, the
Montinegrin troops have forced their
way into Scutari The fortress 1or
six months, since the middle or Oc-
tober, 1912, had offered a stubborn
and heroic defense. The fierce final
assault which gave the Montenegrins
possession Of the city, which has been
the sole object Of their war against
Turkey, began on Monday nignt: Lne
Montenegrin army took the offensive
along the entire front. They com
pleteiy surprised the Ottoman defend
ers by pushing right up to the Turk
ish positions, where they engaged in
close bayonet fighting. The Otto
man soldiers made number OF coun-
ter attacks and tried with their ut
most energy to drive the attacking
force out Of their works, but they
and leave their positions in the hands
os the besiegers, who received con-
slant reinforcement. 1t was mid
night when the Montenegrins OBTAINED
their footing in the fortress and de-
tachments Of the besiegers entered the
city at 4 o'clock this morning. Ac'
cording to one report, Essad Pasha
the Turkish r-in-chief, re-
cognized the uselessness Of further re-
sistance after the outlying key po'
sition Of the Tarabosch had fallen
He Is said then to have ordered his
troops to cease their defense OF the
fortress. Another report says that the
Montenegrin commander had been
negotiating since Monday with Essao
Pasha for the surrender or the place
still another account says that the
Turkish troops defended the city un-
tn the last Although the Serviar
troops did not participate In the ma
attack, their artillery was used by the
