Announcement in the Cape Town as
sembly that there have been 1000
casualties in the South African rebel
lion and 10000 rebel Beers have sur
rendered, is the first intimation of the
seriousness Of the uprising, which has
been passed by the censor. The Brit
ish public. as well as the world at
large, have been allowed to believe
that no more than a handful OF the
Beers were rebellious.
Now, however. IL has suddenly be-
come known that while so large a
part of the population is involved In
the uprising that only a few ring
leaders will be prosecuted. The an
nouncoment in effect raises the status
of the rebellion TO a condition of civil
war and il is improbably that penal
ties commensurate with the crimes Of
sedition and mutiny will ever be i'm
posed on any of the principals now
under arrest
From the fact that announcement
is now publicly made of the extent
Of the revolt. it is probable that the
backbone of resistance has been
broken. Whether the situation has
ever been sufficiently critical TO COM

a candidate for the Republican
nomination for mayor. to succeed DR..

The announcement came as a sur

announcement, City Treasurer Price
said:
"The Office of mayor of Wilmington

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Conclud-
ing the first half of President Wilson's
administration, the 6Sd Congress ad-
iourned sine die at noon today. The
Capitol re-echoed with cheers when the
gavels of President Marshall and
Speaker Clark sounded taps"
While Congress adjourned at noon,
officially, it was some minutes after
ward before the final gavels sounded.
The House stopped its clock.
The Senate did not resort to this sub
terfuge, but Vice President Marshall
held that body until 1904 to finish his
good bye" address.
The President and his entire cabinet
witnessed the close in the Presidents
private chambers adjoining the Senate.
The Presidents signature on the last
bill was the signal for the concluding
ceremonies, in accordance with time
honored custom Among the last to re-
ceive approval was the seamen's labor
bill.
Adjournment came after practically
continuous sessions of both Senate and
House since last Tuesday morning. 1t
also marked the end OF almost constant
meeting for Congress since the Presi-
dents Inauguration two years ago to-
day.
As the life of Congress ebbed away
the usual dramatic and historic
scenes were re-enacted. Then men,
bers dashed for trains.
In the jam of eleventh-hour legis-
latiOn two appropriation bills, the
post Office and Indian, failed. Emer-
gency resolutions to provide neces-
sary funds were hurriedly substi-
tuted and passed.
A flibuster on the Indian bill and
confirmation of many nominations
were among the Senate's last tasks.
The nomination Of George II.
Z Rubleo. of New Hampshire. TO be Fed
eral Trade Commissioner, was among
those refused confirmation.
Defeat OF the ship purchase bill
and pOstpOnement of rural credits
legislation were the features of the
closing hours.
Another important bill to die was
the Philippine Independence meas
ure. The Congress expiring today
was another "Billion Dollar Con-
gress," its appropriations aggregating
S1.120, 100000.
Failure to enact legislation request
ed by President Wilson when the
houses convened last December, was
a feature of the Philippine indepen-
dence, conservation. water power de-
velopment and the ship purchase bills,
all urged by the President. died to-
day.
An extra session of Congress has
also been thrown into the discard, at
least temporarily. depending upon for
eign developments.

clearance papers
BY the United Press.


WASHINGTON, March Admin
istration officials today denied with
considerable emphasis the intimation
that the joint resolution passed by
both Houses early today giving the
President power to enforce neutrality
carried with il authority to lay en-
bargOes or declare war.
II was stated that all that the
State Department wanted-for Il was
at its behest that Congress acted
was that the executive be empowered
to prevent the misuse of United
States ports by belligerents
II is admitted that ships have
cleared from both the eastern and
western ports of the United States
for destinations that they were never
expected to reach and that they have
trans-shipped coal, provisions and
other supplies TO warships and auxil-
iary cruisers of both Germany and
England on the high seas. Under
the new regulation this would be
impossible. Where the President has
the slightest suspicion that any such
plan is intended, he may withhold
clearance papers.
As originally drafted the resolution
could have been construed as authoriz
ing the President to place an embargo
ON all exports of war materials, by di
recting that clearance papers be with
held. The House passed this resolution

( drastic, and amended it TO provide thai
