OPEN FILIBUSTER CONTINUES.

Ship Purchase Bill Before the Sen.
ate.

Washington, Jan 20.-After a three
days speech against the government
ship purchase bill, Senator Burton
yielded the floor late today to Senator
Weeks, who continued what Demo-
cratic leaders regarded as an open
nlibuster. Determined to keen tho
measure constantly before the senate,
even if it delays appropriation meas
ures, the Democrats tonight renewed
their caucus to frame amendments.
Administration leaders declared the
Republican opposition would be given
full sway in the hope that it would
wear itself out. No Democrat, they
said, would speak on the bill for many
days. After Senator Weeks has fin
ished his speech, Senators Lodge,
Jones, Root, Sutherland, Smoot,
Bfandegee, Galiinger ana Nelson are
expected to continue the fight. Plans
were made at q Republican confer
ence today, which provided that when
speeches on the present bill have been
exhausted, substitute will be offered
on which to base further debate.
Some Republican leaders predicted
the Democrats would give up hope Of
passing the bill at this session if 10
progress is made after two weeks of
debate. Administration leaders, how
ever, declared the measure would be
kept before the senate until March 4.
If necessary, and the appropriation
bills taken up at an extra session.
Senator Burton talked continuously
today for more than six hours. IFS
address continued over the lunch
hour, but he drank two raw eggs
While he listened to a question by
