RUSSIANS SINK U. S. VESSEL
Destroy Steamer Washington During
Bombardment Of Trebizonde,
Turkey, is Report.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Ambassador
Morgenthau has reported from Con-
stantinople that the steamer Wash
ington, partly American owned, had
been sunk in the harbor of Trebizonde,
Turkey, during the Russian lombard
ment of that port. He said he would
forward full report of the incident
later.
1t is not known whether the steamer
flew the Greek or American flag, al
though she was not under American
registry. She was owned by the
Greek Archipelago company, con-
Germ incorporated in the state of
Maine and in which a majority of the
stock is understood to be held by
Greeks who are naturalized Ameri.
cans.
If no formal notice of bombardment
was given, the state department prob
ably will be asked to present a claim
for damages to American property, al
though If the vessel flew the Greek
flag, negotiations probably would be
conducted by Greece. Most of the
vessels of this company, it is under
stood, usually sail under the Greek
ensign.

SOME LEADERS, HOWEVER, BE.
LIEvE WORK OF CONGRESS
CAN BE COMPLETED
BY MARCH a.
STILL HOPE TO SAVE
SHIP PURCHASE BILL
Adjournment Comes After Longest
Continuous Fight In History Of
Upper Legislative Body Of
the United States-PIan
to Gain Majority.

Washington, Feb. IAN extra ses-
sion of congress following the close of
the present session, March 4, seems in
evitable, according to opinions ex-
pressed by leaders in both houses fol-
lowing the adjournment of the senate
after a session that continued with
out break for "a hours and IL min
utes.
There are some, however, who said
they still hoped, despite the unprece-
denied fight against the government
ship purchase bill. that the measure
would be disposed of and the appropri-
alton bills acted upon before the ad-
journment and a special session prove
unnecessary.
Longest Continuous Session.
The adjournment, which came after
the longest continuous session in the
history of the upper legislative body
Of the United States, was achieved
by coalition of Republican and Demo
cratic senators opposed to the ship
purchase bill, and Senators Norris and
Kenyon, who, up to this time, have
stood by the measure
Adjournment came on q motion
made by Senator O'Gorman, which pre-
vailed 48 to 46, after Senator Norris,
deploring the fatiguing filibuster, had
proclaimed his conclusion that oppon-
ents of the ship purchase bill could
filibuster it to its death.
Still Hope to Save Bill.
Disappointed over the loss of sup
port from Progressive Republicans,
but still hopeful that something yet
could be done to save the bill, admin
istration leaders of the senate would
not admit that the cause was lost.
Anticipating break in the senate,
President Wilson had been comforting
throughout the day with house
leaders on plans for getting the bill
before the house, and such a course
may be taken, though the senate Re-
publicans insist that their fight will
continue until the end of the session,
no matter what the administration
forces may achieve on the house side.
Plan to Gain Majority.
The plan Of the administration lead
ers is to press Senator Fletcher's mo-
ton to recommit .the ship purchase
bill with instructions for its amend
ment to satisfy Republican Progress
sives. It is conceded to be probable,
however, that this motion will be de-
feated and that Senator Clarke's mo-
ton to recommit the bill to the com.
merce committee without instructions
subsequently will prevail. Senator
Kenyon will vote for the latter mo.
ton and Senator Norris is expected
to do so also in view of his announced
position. That would give the opposi-
ton a majority Of one with every
senator voting.

France Plans Prohibition.

Paris. Feb. 13.-The Chamber of
Deputies began the discussion of the
bill for the prohibition of the sale of
absinthe and other liquors. Adolph
Cloud, one Of the deputies said that
since it appeared that the chamber
had decided to pass the bill he would
fulfill his duty by combating the pro.
ject. He declared that by the sup.
preston Of absinthe, alcoholism could
not be effectively combatted. The
deputy offered statistics tending to
show that absinthe drinking was dan.
gerous only when the practice was
abused.
