RULE FOR WAR RISK BILL.

The administration bill, providing that
the government shall assume all marine
risks during the European war and au-
thorizing an appropriation of $5O0O,OCO for
the purpose, probably will be passed in
the House today. The bill was passed
by the Senate last week. 1t has been
tied up in the House because of the
absence from the city of a quorum Of
he Committee on Rules. As there is
opposition to the bill which prevents its
passage by unanimous consent, the lead
ers are forced to resort TO a special rule
TO put the bill through. The rule will
be framed and passed today. The leaders
also are hopeful Of passing the seamen's
pill in the House today.
