ter the Germans are at a serious disadvantage. The plans of the retreat laid out Grand Duke Mich Olas have been well carried out and the soldiers of the first line who have borne the brunt of the War saw campaign have stepped behind the second line occupying a fcrti- fled line running from KOyno to Brest Litoysk along the valleys of the Niemen and Bug rivers. The Russian army now stands on its own frontier where it stood at the beginning of the war before it's advance into Poland.

FAMOUS F|LbUSTERS
MADE BY Law MAKERS

lowing on.
At five minutes past 10 Senator
from Kentucky wanted to know
what day 1t was. The Senate was to
convene at 10, he said, and it was al
ready past that hour This started
discussion as to the date that ended
when the chair decided that it still was
yesterday, and that the present day
would never take place In legislative
time. The efforts of the filibusters
were successful and the bill was side
tracked.
Two years later there occurred an
other famous filibuster. 1t had to do
with the repeal of the silver purchase
clause of the Sherman act Those in
favor of the repeal were resolved to
force the matter to vote. and the
free silverites were equally deter
mined to tire out their opponents in
an endurance test
Senators went into training for that
struggle Many of them took courses
In physical culture. One of them en-
gagged in running exercises. Washing
ton anticipated the fight, and when the
bill came up for vote the galleries
were crowded The cloakrooms of
each party had been transformed into
forts. Blankets We're spread on all
the couches. and sandwiches, coffee
and apollinaris were supplied.
Senator William V, Allen. of Ne
, braska. the main flibuster. took the
! floor at 5:l5 on October IL and fin
, ished at & a. N. on October .l2, having
talked continuously for fourteen and
three-quarter hours. His speech was
one of the most remarkable feats OF
: endurance that has ever taken place in
the Senate, Beyond occasional sips
OF tea In the calling of quorums he
had nothing to sustain him, yet his eye
was clear and his voice was fresh
when he concluded his remarks He
did not leave the Senate chamber
I once throughout the time OF his
speech The most frequent interrup
tions came when the sharp eye of one
of the anti-repealers saw that quor
nm was wanting, Then electric bells
would ring the double summons and
heavy-eyed Senators would emergs
from their burrows in cloak and com
mittee rooms, answer to their names
and go back to sleep again,
One OF the most dramatic hold-ups

by talking solidly for eleven and a
half hours to empty benches and snor-
ing colleagues Senator SmOOt did
more than any other man to cast the
ship purchase bill into the breakers.
Furthermore. he almost made record
In senatorial oratory. where chins have
waged In Marathons more than once.
"Filibustering means raising the
devil" explained Il Senator, "but in the
present case, where dumb and blind
Congress has been obeying stubborn
President, raising the devil is jus'i-
fed"
The first flibuster took place III
1887. II ended when three recalcitrant
congressman were thrown bodily into
their seats and the quorum they had
fought against was secured Obstruc-
tive methods were soon familiar in
Senate and House, but IL was some
time before long distance talking was
resorted to. In the reconstruction per-
iod the record was held by Garrett
Davis. OF Kentucky, but Davis talked
for less than single day,

for treasure on the ocean bottom off
Alaska will be begun by divers this
spring, in an effort to recover the val
uables lost when the Russian sloop of
War Neva sank off Cape Hitcom sixty
years ago. Acting under permission
of the war department, c. F. Stagger,
diver and wrecker, will undertake
to recover the lost treasure. The Rus
sian residents OF Sitka declare there
are many articles of gold aboard the
sunken ship, including altar images
for the Greek church at Sitka. Some
of these, according to tradition, were
of unsual value. Several are sup
posed to be Of solid gold, and the
elaborate display Of the Greek church
permitted the use of gems and prec-
ious metals in their construction.
There is one crucifix in particular
which was greatly venerated at the
time, and had been specially sent to
the thriving Greek church at Sitka,
the outpost of the Russian settlement
on the American continent. Besides
the relics, the divers expect to recov-

articles of brass and copper on the

ers. and the usual armament of small
rifles and cutlasses.

was made in 1901 by Senator Thomas
II. Carter. of Montana, who talked to
death a $60,0OO,OO0 rivers and harbors
bill, chiefly because the House had re-
fused to appropriate money to irrigate
the dry lands of the West.
Il shall do what lies in my power to
prevent this bill from passing" the
Senator shouted. 1T will not pass If

To the laughter OF The Senate and
the galleries Carter then described
the clam flats and the mud banks of
unheardOf places for which large ap-
propriations had been made in the
present bill. He discussed the draft
and tonnage of the scOws and the lob.
ster pots. He lasted for more than 13
hours. When he was through the Con-
gress was dead. the Senator's own
term was ended and 1t was time to in
augurate Vice President Roosevelt.

The filibuster did not see the point,
but guessed that something was up.
