Washington, Sept. 1S.-In q final ef
fort to break the determined filihvster
against the river and harbor appropri-
alton bill, Senator leaders tonight had
the sergeant-at.arIhs sent to round I'm
absentees and settled down for what
promised to be an Jail night session.
A proposed compromise contemplat-
ing a $20,000,U00 lump sum appropri-
alton for river aud harhor imnrove-
ments as q substitute FOR the pending
bill evoked the enthusiasm from river
and harbor advocates, who decided on
continuous session in the hope of
wearing out the members trying to

day and finally roved absortive. The
Senate by 80 to 15 vote reversed its

to another except by unanimous con-
sent. The debate occupied the whole
days session, Senators Bryan and
Stone arguing vigorously that a sena-
tor had no right 70 occupy the :l,or

The compromises plan, suggested at
a meeting of the commerce committee
early in the day, twas discussed on
both the house and senate sides OF the
capital. 1t was NOT received favorably
at an informal meeting of the house
rivers and Sharbors' committee, and
aroused considerable opposition among
senate supportefa OF the bill. The
latter declared nosyigorous steps had
been taken by the ltA jority to stop the
fiiibuster. ana Senator Williams made
an Imprisoned plea for q "permament
and perpetual session OF the senate"

Majority leaders. although doubtful
OF their ability 10 keep quorum in

mand for drasticiaction and determin-
ed to keep the senate in session ali

Senator Kenyon concluded five days
OF discussion Of the bill and surren-
dered the floor to Senator Burton, who
spoke for more than two hours. He
then presented Il formal motion to re-
commit the hiii to the commerce COM

But few senators were on the floor
and Senator Burton obtained a roll

sought in vain to get a quorum, and
finally the sergeant-at.arms was di.
