PORK BARREL BILL
DOOMED To DEFEAT
Senate Ceases Efforts to Pass
Great Rivers and Har-
bors Grab.

Washington, July 27.-The $53,000,0e
river and harbor pork barrel bill Is
beaten. Democratic leaders in the Sem
ate admitted today it Is useless to at
tempt to force the passage Of the bill as
long as Senators Burton of Ohio. KEN
yon, Of Iowa, Borah, of Idaho, Norris
Of Nebraska, Lane of Oregon, and
Ashurst of Arizona are willing to keep
up their fillbuster.
At a caucus certain democratic sem
ators insisted that the river and har-
Dor bill be given a place on the leg
islative program. This was done, but
the opponents of the measure today
signified their intention OF keeping up
the fight until the adjournment of the
present congress on March next if
necessary to beat the bill.
When II became apparent that the
opposition was gaining strength as it
proceeded instead of losing 1t, the pork
grabbers gave up the glWst and no at
tempt will be made to put the mea-
sure through either during the remand
err Of this session or in the short ses-
sion beginning next December .#
The failure OF the pork hunters to
force the river and harbor bill
through this session foreshadows the
doom of all such measures introduced
in the future.

London, July 2s.--Hope is widesSread

averted without plunging four-f fths o.

MYSTERY IN DEATH OF ..
NURSE AT MARSHALLTOWN

Marshalltown, Ia, July HI-Mystery
surrounds the finding in a Hospital here
of the dead body Of Miss Bertha
Galdas, 3S, a nurse who came here
last Saturday from Chicago. The
coroner says the circumstances, are
suspicious of suicide by poisoning, but
there is no proof that such is q fact.
The woman disrobed in her room and
went to the emergency ward, where
her body was found lying on the floor.
A two-ounce bottle of paregoric was
found by her side, half drained, but
this would not have caused death, tho
coroner said. The authorities are try
ing to locate relatives.

ASSUMES ATTITUDE OF
WAITING AND WATCHING

London, July 2S.-The mere fact that
hostilities between Austria Hungary
and Servia had not begun gave Europe
in general the hope today that wal
might be averted. There was, how
ever, little change in the situation and
the more optimistic feeling was largely
based on. the belief that the German
emperor. who returned to Potsdam to-
day from his cruise in northern waters
would throw his influence toward O
peaceful settlement of the dispute.
: Another factor in favor of peaceful
arrangement was that the Austrian
ambassador in st. Petersburg had
shown willingness to discuss matters
with the Russian foreign minister.
It was said this morning that Aus
tria- Hungary would not move hei
forces against the Servian capital IN
til tomorrow which Is confirmation OF
a statement made by the Austrian am
bassador in London yesterday-that
Austria Hungary desired to give Servia
further time to consider her reply ia
the ultimaum from Vienna.
Outside of Austria Hungary and Ger.
many, Servla's reply Is regarded as q
very fair one, as 1t grants all the de-
mands which a sovereign state could
grant.
1t Is pointed out that there Is little
use in Servia appealing for mediation
however, since Austria Hungary has
declared the matter to be between her
and Servia and asserts she Is backed W
by Germany and Italy, her partners in
the triple alliance.
In the meantime, all the nations OF
Europe are making preparations fol-
war. Even England. which is credited
with the determination to stand aside
unless she should be forced into the
conflict, Ia getting her war ships ready
The leave which is generally granted
to the crews after the annual mobili-
zation of the fleet for exercises has
been cancelled and the vessels are to
be kept on a war footing. They began
coaling yesterday with the. expectation
that they would be ordered to the
North sea, which would be England's
danger point in the event Of a Euro
pean outbreak.

GERMANY QUIET DESPITE
GRAVITY OF SITUATIOf

Berlin, July 2S.-The military ele-
ment in Germany calmly awaits the
outcome of the international crisis. 1t
is stated that no orders have been
issued to the army in this connection
and that the customary furloughs to
a proportion Of the soldiers in order
that they might help in the field work
at their homes during the harvest have
not been interrupted. 49,. .....
One Of the newspapers prints the
statement that the German high sea
fleet had been ordered to concentrate
In home waters, but the German ad-
miralty says no such instructions have
been issued.
The general public in Berlin takes
a somewhat calmer view Of the situa-
ton as time passes without the oc-
curence of the dread catastrophe Of
armed conflict and on reports Of the
proposed mediation of the powers be-
tween Austria Hungary and Servia.
Officials declare no word has come
from st. Petersburg regarding the
Russian attitude, but hopes are still
expressed that Russia will abstain
from taking any steps which might
precipitate a general conflict in Eu-
rope. ....

St Petersburg. July 2S.--In spite OF
the general unfayorable symptoms in
the situation between Austro- Hungary
and Servia and OF the effect produced
by the arrest In Hungary Of Gen. Ra-
domir Putnlk, chief OF the Servian gen.
eral staff. a better feeling was mo-
ticeable here today as the result Of
yesterdays diplomatic conversations.
IT is understood that the long in
terview between Scrgius Sazonoff. the
Russian foreign minister, and the Aus
TRAN ambassador, especially was re-
sponsible for this Improvement Of
sentiment. N.T
The fact that Vienna does not re-
fuse to discuss the point at issue II
interpreted as a happy symptom, al
though Russia's attitude has been very
hrm since the beginning OF the crisis.
The Russian government 10 anxious
to negotiate with Vienna in order such
a discussion might delay any act which
might prove irreparable. r..
1t is still hoped here that the voice
OF Berlin may be heard at the oppor-
tune moment In the interest Of peace.
