LONDON, March 8.-The British and French fleets have battered their way step nearer to Constantinople, not however, without damage to the ships engaged.

 This struggle for the gateway to the Ottoman capital presents the big feature of war news and closely link ed with this is the sustained excite ment in Greece, incident to the resig- nation of the cabinet of M. Venizelos, who .deeming Greece's entry into the hostilities on the side of the triple en- tente imperative, could not agree with the king and resigned.

PHOENIX, March 8.-The legis- lative situation this afternoon is like this:
 The lower house is considering the general appropriation bill and taking its time about it. Nearly every sec ton is being debated. The Hunt lobby is endeavoring to force the bill along in the hope of avoiding an ex- tra session, and is being cleverVy blocked by an invisible filibuster, bent upon saving other important bills.
 The administration forces are show ing signs of panic as the hour for ad- journment approaches. The order is to throw overheard everything else if necessary to save the approDria- tions. A special session will be fatal"
 The senate is fairly well up with its work and could easily be ready to ad- iourn by Thursday night.
 The senate is against an extra ses- 'ion," says President Sims, and there will be none unless it is forced by certain members of the lower house."
 Senator Stapley, chairman of the senate appropriations committee, says hat in his opinion there will be no appropriations until the lower house akes action on the mine tax, land, public welfare and prohibition bills.
 This viewpoint is concurred in by a | majority of the senate.
 This means that unless conditions hangc before Thursday night the general appropriations bill will fail of 'assage, and special session will be lecessary to provide revenue for the
