EXPECT SHIP
 BILL TO PASS
IN SPITE OF OBJECTION OF OTHER NATIONS RESIDENT
 IS SANGUINE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The caucus of democratic senators has en- dorsed the rural credits bill. After the caucus the President expressed the belief that the ship purchase bill will be passed during the present session practically unchanged in spite of a strong opposition in congress and abroad. It is believed in some quarters that the opposition by some of the bel ligerent nations to the attempt by the United States to improve it's marine commerce at the expense of some of the nations engaged in war will rather aid in the passage of the bill than otherwise.

PRESIDENT CANNOT PLACE
 AN EMBARGO ON WHEAT
All He Has Power to do is to Have Men Prosecuted For Illegal
 Rise in Price.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Presi- dent Wilson stated today that he has no power to place an embargo on the exportation of wheat. That power rests with congress alone, he declares. Nothing can be done by the govern ment, according to the President, to- wards regulating the prices of wheat and other food stuffs unless illegal practices among merchants are dis closed by the investigations now pro- gressing. Such disclosures may lead to prosecutions and to a resultant fall in the price of food stuffs to their nor nal level.

They have received pro- posals and requests from various sources and they have received them all without any comment but that which is only to be expected under such circumstances. The statement by the Secretary that the engineering commission will make no formal re- commentators is taken to mean that the report of the commission will be given privately to President Wilson and Mir.

THIRD AUSTRIAN ARMY ROUTED BY
 CARS TROOPS .Austro- German Scheme for Spring Campaign Proba-
 bly, Smashed. THOUSANDS SLAIN
 BEFORE STANISLAW Von Hindenberg's Disappcintments Increase, and Russians Have Secur. ed Strong Positions Around
 North Poland.

Petrograd, March 4.-Throughou the Carpathian front, as far as thu borders of Bukowina. the Russians have now succeeded in overthrow1ns the great Austro-German scheme o spring campaign in Galicla. With all the new formations thai could be raised and with strong backing by the Germans, the Aus. trians brought a great new army through Bukowina and again at tempted to envelop the Russian left which lies facing southward near tn, Roumanian border
 This new army, under the Arcn- duke Joseph Ferdinand, pushed northward through Nadworna by forced marches upon Stanislaw. The Russians, with a small force there were reinforced, and drew outside the town and entrenched themselves while another Russian army crossed eastward from the mouth oi Wyszwoka pass in time with the, ad- vancing Austrians.
 The Russians brought forward arms for an attack, but the Austrians retreated eastward from the Lolhni- tzar river. Their left wing, threaten ed with envelopment, began to break away from the main column and to hasten backward on Nadworna and the river Pruth, suffering terribly under the charges of the Russian troops.
 The Austrian third army, which had been resting exhausted outs:cs the middle Carpathian passes, wa: ordered to bring relief to the Arch l duke Joseph, who was then in { perilous position.
 The relief force made six genera storming cnarges against the Rus sian prepareu positions. Each ende< disastrously.
 Clearing Strewn With Dead. "A stretch of 400 yards which tn Russians had eieared- before their en trenchments became thickly strewl with Austrian dead.
 After each onslaught about 100t prisoners were taken. These mel threw their rifles away, ran into th Russian line and surrendered.
 This third Austrian army has prob ably made it's final effort. With 1t failure and the destruction of tn, Archduke's advance into Bukawina Austrian stretegy against Russia ii laid in ruins.
 Won Hindenberg's disappointment in the north are beginning to multi ply. The Russians have secured fo themselves positions all along iron the lower Niemen, round and througl North Poland, which are far to- open to suit the German plans.
 Only westward of OssoWiecz ar' the Germans attempting to maintain their positions. They keep outside tn range of the fortress guns and tn rear communications of the fortres continue uninterrupted. Most of tn troops from the north are hastenin from the Niemen to support the lin of possible retreat from the beseig ing forces to East Prussia.
 The Russians are again in tn fringe of Augustowo forest.

Washington, March 1.-The 63rd congress, first under complete doml- nation of the Democratic party since 1895, ended today.
 It had been in almost continuous session since President Wilson's in auguration two years ago. Begin ming with an extra session called by the president April ', 1913, the con gress has worked actually 637 days.
 Much important legislation was ac- complished, but much contemplated, some of it hard pressed by the presl- dent and party leaders, was left un- done. It is the present intention of the president and his advisers to give congress a rest. Rather than force an extra session, they would leave the remainder of the administrations constructive aspirations to new congress next winter, which, al- though under Democratic control, will have greatly reduced majority in the house.. i
 Important Laws.
 Foremost in the enactments Of the 63rd congress were:
 The Underwood-Si Simmons tariff act, with the income tax, which replaced the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
 The federal reserve act, reorganiz- ing the currency system.
 Antitrust laws to supplement the Sherman act, including the Clayton law and federal trade commission act, the former providing for punish ment of individuals who violate busl- ness regulations and the latter estap- fishing a. government institution to aid in keeping business within the law.
 Repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemption for American cOastwise shipping.
 Act directing the building, at cost of S35,00Q,000, of a government ssrall, road to the mineral fields of Alaska ,S. Act. to regulate cotton exchanges and to pcnalize dealings in purely speculative cotton future sales.
 A special internal revenue tax commonly called the "war tax" '" A government war risk insurance bureau to insure American ships against the hazards of war, and ar | act providing for the transfer O foreign-owned or built ships to Amer ican registry.
 Of those measures which failed O. enactment, or could not be consider ed for lack of time, the following ar' regarded by Democratic leaders as paramount: sa 7
 Bill for government purchase ol charter of transoceanic ships for thu establishment of. an American mer chant marine, which encountered thu , most stubborn filibuster in the his tory of the. senate, created an lnsur gent movement in the Democratic ranks and held up general Legislation for weeks of the last session.
 The immigration bill, including ; literacy test for administration o aliens, which passed both houses was vetoed by President Wilson ant failed by narrow margin to repas! the house on a motion to overiurl the veto.
 7 Conservation measures urged b. the president to provide new sys tenn for leasing of water power site and leasing system to open tn mineral resources of the country

 Clear Pages Department. The special auditing committee this afternoon submitted the report of their investigation of the department of mines, manufactures and agrlcul- ture. The report is thorough re- view of the transactions of the office but does not contain any very sensa- tional findings. The only source of receipts in this office is the sale of fertilizer and feed tags. The total
 receipts from fertilizer tags from
 Nov. 1, 1912, to Feb. 15, 1915, were
 $53, ,845.O6, and from feed tags $42,- 76S38. On account of the injunction
 against the sale of feed tags there were no receipts on that account aft
 CT October, 1915. The total receipts
 from Nov. 1, 1912,- to February 15,
 1915, were $95,613.44. A few slight ire egularities ill the handling of the
 fertilizer tags are shown by the re- bort but these in the main are ex- splained by the commissioner, John H. Page. The committee says it has nc l information whatever that the de- apartment has not accounted for every
 cent due the state.
