WILL PASS NOTHING
BUT APPROPRIATIONS
Senate Defeats Attempts at New Leg
islation-S323, 100000 in Postoffice
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-With only
five working days remaining of the present
session of congress, prospects OF enactlng
any legislation aside from the approprla-
ton bills before adjournment Is regarded
by Senate Democratic leaders as very slim.
While reports continue of a revival OF at
tempts to put through the government
ship purchase bill in accordance with the
wish of President Wilson, administration
senators admit there is little hope of doing
so because of Republican opposition to the
measure. Prospects of passing the river
and harbor bill in its present form also
are anything but bright, and 1t Is expected
that Joint resolution will be substituted
for it appropriating about $30,00O,OO0 for
continuing existing projects. An lndlca-
| ton of the intention Of administration
leaders to speed up" work on the appro-
priation bills is seen in the fact that the
| Senate after passing the pOstoffice appro'
| priation bill worked far into the night on
| the agricultural appropriation bill, carry
| ing about S23 900, 900. Except for few
disputed items-including an appropriation
| of 100000 for distribution of seeds, which
was stricken out by a senate committee
consideration of the measure has beer
completed.
| The senate passed the postofhce bill viz
tually as it passed the house carrying I
total of approximately 1923, 100000. \
Recommendation of the senate committed
that the house provision fixing the salar,
of rural mail carriers on standard route
at $1,000 year be stricken out was over
ruled in the senate by vote of 81 to 10
adding 100000 to the bill as reported
from the committee. All attempts to ado
new legislation were stricken out on point
of order.
Increases in the house diplomatic ant
consular bill recommended by the senat
committee include the addition of $50,00'
to pay the expenses of the Forthcoming
conference of South and Central American
financial officials with those of the Unite,
States.
Provision is made for a $4,000 apprC

people are getting surprising results that
we feel all persons suffering from con-
