TO START NIGHT
SESSIONS OF SENATE
In Endeavors to Break Up Alleged
 Republican Filibuster

Washington, Jan 26.-Administra- tfon leaders in the senate, stating that the republicans were conducting d fil- ibuster against the government ship purchase bill, determined today to start long night sessions in the nope of wearing out the opposition.
 A night session, without recess for dinner, had been planned for tonight but it was abandoned, as d courtesy to Senator Gallinger, the minority leader, " ho had spoken for several hours against the bill and had not concluded his remarks. Following an executive session, the senate resumed open sessions late in the day when the night session manifesto was delivered by Majority Leader Kern.
 Tt is fair to minority senators as well as to the democrats" said Sena- tor Kern to state that the majority proposes to meet what we believe to be 8 flibuster against this bill by holding night sessions We had plan ned to do so tonight but the mi nority leader, Senator Gallingor, is tired and, out of courtesy to him, we will defer a session tonight and per- init him to resume tomorrow.
 Senator Gallinger declared that he did not wish the impression to get te- fore the country that he was q sick man and insisted that he was ready to proceed at once with his speech. The majority insisted, however, that their decision to give him a rest shouid stand and the senate recessed until II o'clock tomorrow morning. the plan of the democrats being to hold q quorum then until a late hour in the nigh-.
 DeTnOcrati senators were particu- laTlY aroused today because after the way had been opened for the trans action of routine business for the first time in ten days. republican senators took up the time reading the long ,f speeches on various subjects, which were submitted for introduction in the congressional record.
 The determination to hold day and night sessions was reached with a view to getting as many republican speeches on the bill out of the way as possible within ten days. Demo- crats propose to speak on the bill from time to time, but it their purpose to give most of the time to the repub- lican side Senator Walsh of Monta- ma has given notice that he will speak in favor of the measure on Thursday

NO DIVIDEND ON
 U. S. STEEL CoMMoN
Directors Deemed Earnings of Last
 Quarter Would Not Warrant It.

New York Jan. 26.-The United States Steel Corporation today passed the divident of 1-2 of one per cent. on the common stock for the last three months of 1914. This step was taken because of the poor earnings, which were the smallest in the corporation ; history. Chairman F. H. Gary, in a brief statement, said:
 Business Conditions improving.
 "The earnings for the last quarter of 1914 were so small that the board of directors after careful considera - ton, reluctantly decided to suspend, for the present, the payment of iiVi- dends on the common stock. Business conditions are steadily, though slowly improving and it is hoped the resum D. ton of dividends may not be long de- ferred.'
 3-4 Per Cent. on Preferred Stock.
 The regular quarterly dividend of 1 3-4 per cent was declared on the preferred stock although only @ very small part of the amount required for this disbursement had been earned. In fact, after payment of the preferred dividend, which involves an outlay of S6, BOA 920. there will be 9 deficit of $5.- 6O6,2S3 in the surplus This will be taken from the undivided surpus of 1918, reducing the latter item to less than S700,000
 Financial Circles Surprised.
 Suspension of the common dividend, which was unanimously voted, accord ing to report, occasioned considerable e surprise in financial and industrial cir cles, because of the decision of the di- rectors in December last to maintain the then existing scale of wages for 1915, and for the added reason that Chairman Gary at that time express ed his belief in early trade better rnent.
 Falling Of In Earnings.
 Total earnings of the corporation for the last quarter of 1914 were SIC. . 933, ITO, against s22.27s.oo2 in the quarter immediately preceding when the common dividend was reduced from a five to a two per cent basis. loss of SS,SS6,744, compared with the previous quarter
 Analysis of the last luar5e. shows 3 steady decline in business for that period. October balances ot eaInjnzs amounted to $5,5S0, ,533, while Novem- Der and December fell to S2,79S, 3SS ard $2,554,249 respectively.
 Parallels Action of 1904 and 1905.
 In suspending it's common dividend. the steel corporation parallels it's ac- ton of 1904 e~---& 1905, the first lean years in its history In 1906 divi- dends at the rate of 1-2 per cent were paid, in 1907 and 1908 each two per cent. was disbursed, in 1909, the dividend was increased to ? 3-4 per cent, while in 1910 it attained it's max imum rate of 1-4 per cent. since which time and until the third quart CT of last year it had been on a five per cent. basis.

OPPOSED TO SPENDING
 MILLIONS FOR EMPHASIZES
Senator TiAman, Chairman of the
 Naval Committee.

Washington, Jan. 26.-An appeal to congress to go slow in expending mil lions for batteships until it can build in the light of lessons of the European war was voiced in the senate today by Senator Tillman. chairman of the naval committee. He, opposed build ing any dreadnoughts this year, de- spite the administration programme and offered an amendment to the pend ing naval appropriation bill which would direct the secretary of the navy to submit to the next congress plans and specifications for four loattleships of a type most desiFa'ble in view of experience in Europe.
 Tt does seem to he time for con- gress to go slow in expending these tens of millions of dollars because of some supposed necessity, or the desire on the part of someone to have ships constructed in certain navy yards or in certain places Senator Tillnan declared. T feel sure a half dozen or more battle cruisers strong enough to put up a good stiff fight and swift enough to catch anything affoat. or run away, as wisdom may dictate would serve the Country's needs at this time far better. Just the type of battleship we ought to build, we do not now know.
 Already the fight between the fac tions of the two opposing fleets in the North sea has demanded one thing that speed is of vital importance to any war craft which we are to build whether battle cruiser or dreadnoUght. The faster German cruisers got away from tine British. but the slower Bheu- cher. although faster than any bat tleship we have, was sunk. And yet the general board urges the construc- ton of more batt1eships. The naval registers give the highest speed of any of our battleships at 22 knots. If the fra rsf- LP l1A e. form of ship, any change which, in the light of experience might be thought desirable, would be a very costly affair
