PATRONAGE FIGHT NEAR!NG ITS END President Wilson Did Not Intend To Antagonize Senators By His
 Appointments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The pa tronage fight between President Will son and the Democratic members of the Senate will soon be over. It is understood that the president wants harmony and that he did not intend to antagonize the senators by making appointments objectionable to them.
 Friends of the president have been endeavoring for several days to heal the breach between the Democratic members of the upper House and the chief executive, as they feared the patronage fight would result in the defeat of the presidents measures besides splitting the party and endan- gering the chances of reelection. :.
 The friends of the administration are now bending every effort towards pushing through legislation that will strengthen the party with the people and a fight between the leaders would have the opposite effect. The president is expected to withdraw the names of the objectionable candidates and will substitute the names of the men favored by the senators.

TWO EMPHASIZES
 WILL bE BUILT Also Six Torpedo Boat Destroyers, Sixteen Submarines and Hos-
 pital Ship.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Ma val Committee of the House has re- ported favorably upon the two battle ships plan and recommends that two dreadnoughts be laid down in 1915 to cost s7,5OO,OOO each. Six torpedo boat destroyers are also to be built and 16 submarines. A hospital transport ship is recommended and the total appropriation will be $23,000,000.
 An effort will be made in the House to include two battle cruisers in the building plan for 1915. It is pointed out by members of congress that the European nations have fast battle cruisers of the Invincible type which can make 28 knots an hour and they carry heavy armament. These ships have no equal in the American navy, thus leaving the command of the sea to the fast commerce destroyers of the other nations.
 Congressman Gardner points out that England has several ships of this type which have just been completed and which make B knots an hour and he would have the American navy build several similar vessels.

 goes Worth $1s,soo,ooo.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-During the first four months of the war, tifty-four British foreign-going ships. valued at $11, 400, 0,O00, with. cargoes worth $1S,- 100000, were captured or destroyed by the enemy. These are the official fig ures of the Liverpool and London War Risks Insurance Association.
 According to these figures, the loss es for four months were 1.23 per cent. of the total number of vessels, 1.49 per cent. of their total value, and O.94 per cent. of the total cargoes carried
 This would indicate that the yes. sells could have been insured at a rate of O.37 per cent. monthly. and their cargoes at a rate of 0.94 per cent. The rates fixed by the govern ment at the beginning of the war were 0.72 for vesesls and 1.24 for car. goes. This shows a snug margin of profit for the underwriters.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Wheat took a big jump yesterday afternoon and the highest price was reached as the gong rang for closing, and $1.43 bushel was the high price.
