SENATE TONIGHT PASSES
FINALLY ON Suffrage BILL
Friends of Votes for Women Measure
Say That More Than Enough Sem
ators Arc Pledged to Support It
May Be Speeches Against It

The calendars Of both the Senate
and Hotfse are filed for consideration
at to-night's sessions. The Senate will
meet at $50 and the, House at 8
O'Clock. In the Senate the most i'm.
portant matter tonight will be consid
Grafton of the woman suffrage constitu-
tional amendment, which will come up
on third reading and for final passage.
This measure has already passed the
House, where it was introduced by Mr..
Wilson, of Philadelphia, and was on
third reading IN the Senate last We'd
nesday, when consideration was post
poned until this evening owing to the
absence of some Senators who desire
to be placed on record when the final
vote is taken 1t is expected that a
large crowd of women will be present
in the Senate.
Senator Ware, who has charge of the
suffrage amendment, says that he has at
least thirtytive votes pledged for it in
the Senate, and as only twenty-six are
required it is not expected that any
serious opposition to its passage will
prevail. 1t is not known now whether
there will be any speeches on the final
passage, but there are several Senators
who are opposed to the bill, and it is
possible that they may desire to explain
their positions.

FIRE IN new YORK TUBE
Fire in New York Tube Drives Hun
dreds From Hotels Situated
About Times Square
BY Associated Press.

New York, March 15.-Fire early
to-day in the new subway under con-
struction on Seventh avenue, between
Forty second and Forty-fifth streets,
filed the streets with smoke, tied up
traffic on portion of the old Broad
way subway and some of the adjacent
surface lines and drove hundreds of
guests from the hotels clustering about
Times Square. The fire was discovered
at $40 a. m, and two hours elapsed
before it was brought under control
and service was resumed ON the various
transportation lines.
The fire was attributed to a short
circuit said to have ben caused by
a workman who drove his drill into
large power cable at the corner of
Forty-third street and Seventh avenue.
A network of power, lighting and tele-
phone wires underlies the streets in
this part of the city and burning in.
sulation on these cables sent up cloud
of dense smoke. At the same time the
wooden planking used in the construc-
tion of the new subway burned briskly
The firemen tore up the timbers over
the subway and attacked the smolder-
ing wires with sand. The police re-
serves were called out to quiet panic
stricken guests who rushed from the
hotels.

Operations win Be Held Up Until
April-Stin Many Men Idle

Although this was the day recently
set for the taking up again of munich
pal improvement work which had been
suspended, in the fall. there was moth
ing like general resumption of activi.
ties this morning, 1t was announced to-
day that work on such big improve
ments rs the river dam, the river wall
and the Paxton creek job will not be
begun for several weeks, due to river
conditions. The bulk of the work to.
gether with the work on the new street
paving and grading will not be begun
until the first week in April, although
contractors and city officials are now
preparing for, the start.
Actual work under his five.year
street repair contract, which the City
contends remains in force until April /,
was begun by Contractor Charles P.
Walter, under protest, this morning.

ing north on ThirSi street, from Forster,
eoncreting sections of streets that had
been opened by contractors for laying
sewer, gas and water pipes. This work
will require two or three days aud
actual repairs to asphalt will not be be-
gun until later in the week.
Scattered Paving Work
The Central Construction tS Supply
Company, which has the street paving
contractor. has resumed rie ''get
ready" notice and tomorrow it will be-
gin laying the asphalt surface on three
of the four bridges over Paxton creek,
at Mulberry, Walnut and Cumberland
streets. New paving work, however,
will not start till April. These contrac.
tors also will do some street repair
work TO paved sections which they have
guaranteed.
The Harrisburg Railways Company,
which fortnight ago was instructed to
prepare for the paving of Derry street

announced to-day, win not be able, in

that it is not wise to begin work too
soon.
Means Work for One Hundred
In the paving OF Derry street the
Railways Com lany is o5ligei to rebuild
practically the entire mi e section of its
track aud this will mean employment
for hundred men. The Central Con.
struetion 4 Supply Company likely will
start on the Derry street improvement
immediately after the trolley company
begins to do its share of the work and
that will mean employment for many
additional men.
William II. Opperman, who has a
gang Of men working on a sewer sec
ton in Twentieth street, expects to
complete the job by Wednesday of this
week. He now is preparing to open
work on sewer sections at Third and

Late war news summary

The British government plan, In
cooperation with its allies, of cutting
off trade to and from Germany was an
nounced to-day in London. 1t contains
drastic provisions, not only for hold
ing up ships to and from German ports
but for confiscation of goods of Ger
man origin or destination which are
shipped from neutral ports. Under this
decree the civilian population of Ger
many, as well as the army, will be cut
off from any form of over seas traffic
so far as it lies within the pale of the
allies to bring this about.
Authoritative denial was given in
Rome to-day of report that Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, had refus-
ed to consider making territorial con-
cessions to Italy. At the same time 1t
was said that the concessions Austria
was willing to make were so small by
comparison with Italy's desires that
ian understanding seems hopeless
TO-day's official war reports show
that fighting of increasing violence is
in progress in the west. The Germans
yesterday made attacks In force
against the British near the Franco
Belgium border and against the French
in Champagne and the Argonne. Ac-
cording to the French version, all these
assaults were repulsed, although 1t was
admitted that the Germans tempor-
arily gained ground from the British.

Seeking to Relieve Przemysl

Petrograd, March Is, 1856 P. NJ,
Via London, 115 P. M.--Austrian
forces, supported by large German
contingent, again are making deter
mined effort to relieve the Przemysl
fortress in Galieia, besieged by the
Russians during the early months of
the war, having failed in the east of
Galieia when they hoped to strike in
the direction of Przemysl and trans.
ferred the center of their operations
farther to the west, are now attempting
to take direct route from Uiok Pass
to the north, In the vicinity of Stuben,
almost half way between Uiok and
Przemysl, they encountered serious Rus
sian resistance and the success of their
movements depends on the outcome of
their concentrated efforts to break
through the Russian lines at this point.
Situation Very Interesting
The simultaneous closing in of the
Russian besieging forces upon Pre-
mysl and the occupation of Malkovitza,
within three miles Of the fortress, make
the situation at Przemysl more inter
esting than any other just now in Ga
licia. Recent operations in the Rus
sian forests in occupying positions
have taken large numbers of men and
guns and revealed that Przemvsl is
much stronger in artillery and infantry
than had been believed. 1t is evident
that the fortress has kept in constant
communication with Austrian points
outside by means of wireless telegraphy
and the flights of aeroplanes.
Russian military authorities to-day
expressed confidence in their own secur-
ity in Galicia Ir view of the reported /,
success of their troops in checking Aus
trian attacks at important places on the
Carpathian front, they are confident
that the present advance toward Pre-
mysl will result in failure.
