MRS. WILSON'S ART
FINDS NO PURCHASERS
Paintings by Presidents wife
on Exhibition.

Philadelphia, March 5.-If some OF
the twenty-six paintings by Mrs,
Woodrow Wilson, wife of the new
president, which are now on view and
on sale in the gallery of the Arts AMI
Crafts Guild, in South Eleventh street,
are not sold within the next week
they will be withdrawn from the local
art market and, in all probability, VII
be sent to either Washington or New
York.
Not one of the paintings has been
sold, although they have been viewed
by many during the ten days they
have been in the little gallery. In
fact, there hasn't been even strong
nibble, and this Notwithstanding that
the prices have been cut.
The first schedule sent by the wife
of the president placed three prices
upon the canvasses, according to Their
size. The smallest were listed at 500
apiece, the next in size $500 and the
largest paintings $500.
When Mrs. Wilson visited the gal
lery little more than week ago and
learned that there had been no sales
she changed the prices to SIS, $3.50
and $780, A few pictures have been
withdrawn from the sale by her. These
have been promised as gifts to some
friends of the family.
The money to be derived from the
sale of the paintings to go to the
maintenance fund of the Martha Berry
School for Boys and Girls in Rome,

hearts of both President and Mrs. Will

plan for the organization Of that body
for the work of tariff revision. The
chief work of the house caucus prom
ises to be the selection of the ways
and means committee members who
will begin at once the preparation Of
the tariff bills.
The Democratic majority in the
house is so large that hundred Dem
ocrats in it can go astray of their
party obligations, or fall into the Po-
tomac river; still there would be
enough and to spare to support the
presidents recommendations.
The senate, to which today will be
firmation, prevents very different
problem. To begin with, even noni-
nally, there is a Democratic majority
of but two; or at best five, if Illinois
and New Hampshire should fill the re-
naming vacancies with Democrats.
The Republicans and Progressives al
ready have forty-seven. But when 1t
comes to a lineup as between conser-
vatives and progressives, in the broad
er meaning of those terms, the appar-
ent majority at the command of the
new president might go to pieces In
the first test.
The Progressi7es will be of the ut
most importance in any crisis of bat
tie between the conservatives and
progressives of either party, especially
in the issues involving the local in
terests which will break the lines over
tariff reduction. -
One thing which may prove of great
importance in respect of responsive
ness to public sentiment is the fact
that the terms Of Office of thirty-one
of the ninety three constituting the
present membership of the senate
have only two years more to run.

Thirty-two Wounded Americans Are
Brought Into Manila.
Manila, March 5.-The town OF Jolo
has undergone incessant attack by the
Moros for the lost two weeks.
Details of the operations are mea-
ger, as a rigid censorship is in force.
Even letters sent by officers and men
defending the town are subjected TO
scrutiny.
That the fighting has been serious.
however, is obvious from the arrival
in Manila of thirty-two wounded Amer

The Moros, it is reported, con.in-
ually fling taunts at the defenders OF
the town, calling on them to come
out and fight in American fashion and
not like pigs" The troops are chatting

congress in both branches passed into
the hands of Democracy.
Today the Democratic members or
the senate and house will assemble in
separate caucuses to plan the organi-

Democratic senator's faced the eau

struggle of some moment over the
control of the senate organization.
The progressive Democratic forces ap-
parently were in full control of the
situation so far as the selection OF a
senate leader was concerned; but the
plans to change seniority rules in the
filling of the committees, on which the
newer senators demanded full repre-
sentation, threatened to embroil the
Democrats in hard fight.
The house Democratic leaders were
prepared to take into today's caucus
