WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Biocked in their effort to get the house ship pur chase bill to vote. the democratic senators have agreed to take up the appropriation bills and have sent the shipping measure to conference until February 27 when it must take it's chances of being fiibustered to death on March f. Republican senators en- tered into a "gentleman's agreement with the democratic leaders to let the house bill go to conference on condi tion the appropriation bills be passed within the next ten days in order to avoid an extra session of congress. Democrats are reported to have agreed on a reasonable cut on the rivers and harbors appropriation bill and the re- publicans in return gave assurances they would not filibuster against any appropriation measures.
 Democrats further agreed that when the ship purchase bill comes out of conference if any agreement on it ever reached. the republicans will be given an opportunity tn renew the fight against it
 This compact which broke the struggle was reached late in the day The administration leaders maintained it is the best that they could possibly hope for under the circumstances, and the republican senators insisted this action meant the bill is dead All the senators seemed to agree that there would be no extra session of congress. When the time came to put tho agreement into operation. the re- voltine democrats and other senators opposed letting the bill go 10 confer ence until the votes could he had on their amendments.

 STRONGER CHARGES

That City Manager Parish, few days before last Christmas, found t city zanjero engaged in directing two or three gangs Of men cleaning street crossings and ordered the men to pro- ceed with their work while the zanjero was sent to locate needy families to whom was later distributed gifts from the municipal Christmas tree, was brought out prominently in the evi- dence at yesterdays sessions of the hearing of the charges of incompetence and misconduct preferred against the manager That this constituted inter ference with the work of City Street Superintendent Parker, since removed when the offices of water and street superintendents were consolidated was the contention of the proponents of the charges. Of course there was other Interference, such as the man ager directing that eight hours work by the men at the city corral should constitute a days work, as required by law; all this without first consulting the then street commissioner. who first learned of the interference" when he saw a notice posted at the corral and found the men reporting for work a little later than he, the street commissioner, had directed.
 It was a day fraught with some sur prises and no end of comedy. F. A. Trincano. self confessed mechanical engineer, hot air merchant and F,lks' minstrel show end man. declined to permit the ruffiing of his feathers by sharp cross questioning, and Attorney ], L. B. Alexander. of counsel for Parish, decided to enter into the spirit of the occasion. He succeeded in securing from Trincano in a spirit of levity about as much. if not more. real information, as he might have done under severe grilling
 It was the prosecution's day. and of course there were some pretty hard knocks for Manager Parish Some times the object of the attacks gave evidence of being perturbed, but as his counsel proceeded to straighten things out. his composure returned There were rumors last evening that unless the prosecution adduces strOnger evidence of incompetence and misconduct that has already been brought out, no defense to the charges will be entered.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1S.-Germany $ reply to the American note of warn ing against any attack on American vessels or lives in the new zones of war served to increase rather than diminish the concern of officials of the United States over possible com plications, though the friendly tone of the communication made a favor able impression and gave some hope that an understanding for the protec- tion of neutrals might vet be attain ed.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-China has instructed her ministers to the United States, Great Britain. France and Russia to deliver to those powers a memorandum of the demands orig finally made by Japan for concessions and privileges in return for the resto ration of the territory of kiao Chow to China. The memorandum just pre- scented to the state department by Kai Flu Shah, the Chinese minister, con tains several additional demands. seven or eight in number. than con taned in the Japanese memorandum lof February 9th
 As the Chinese memorandum ante dated considerably the Japanese state ment, it is believed the original de- mands were only tentative and orally made, or have been abandoned now altogether by Japan.
 The Japanese version published yesterday confining Japan's requests to privileges and concessions in southern Manchuria inner Mongolia and Shan Tung does not. so far as competent American observers are now informed, conflict with the two policies to which the United States
 has been committed-the principle of
