House Bill.

Washington, d. c. - Congress
worked away steadily yesterday and
last night on its task Of clearing up
supply bills, which must be out of the
way before adjournment March 4.
The senate passed the navy bill,
1852, 000, 900; the Notifications bill, So
100000, and the diplomatic bill, $4,-
100000, while the house spent the day
in debating the general deficiency
measure, with interruptions now and
then to dispose of conference reports.
The senate added about $S,O0O,OO0
TO the naval bill as it passed the
house, providing in the two-battleship
construction program for five sea-go-
ing submarines instead of one; for 16
Instead OF IL coast-defense subma-
Tlnes; for a gunboat and hospital
ship, and adding $1,000,O00 for an
armor plant and 100000 for a proiec-
tile factory.
You Can Never Tell.
Senator Smoot vainly sought to have
authorized the construction of so sea-
going and 25 coast submarines, declar-
sng that mo man can tell when the
European disturbance will involve this
country in difficulties"
The Notifications bill was passed
without amendment, so it now goes to
ahe president for his signature. Some
S250,000 was added to the diplomatic
bill, and a paragraph calling on the
president to collect from Cuba Sc
100000, the expense of the American
army OF pacifcation in 1909, was
stricken out on a point of order.
The house agreed to most of the
senate amendments to the army bill,
but refused to accept several, includ-
ing one eliminating the prohibition
against stop-watches and other
"speeding-up" methods in army shops.
No Special Session Expected Now.
Following a long conference at the
White House last night between Presi-
dent Wilson and Senator Stone, chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee, it was said to be improb-
able that the president would call a
special session.
Arrangements for the presidents
contemplated trip to San Francisco
are being held up.
It was said that the president still
planned to arrive in San Francisco
March 81, though it was possible that
the trip might have to be postponed.

merce Peace Terms Will In
cude Sea Access for Gar.

London. Eng.-Sir Edward Grey,
the foreign secretary, announced in
the house of commons that Great
Russias desire to have access to the
Mediterranean Sea.
With Russia's desire for access to

the foreign secretary said, in response
to question from Frederick w. Jow-
EFT, whether England knew of and APP
proved the statement of the Russian
Duma, that Russia intended perma-
nently to occupy Constantinople."
The foreign secretary responded
that he was unaware that M. SaZanoff
had made any such statement, but
he added, the statement / have seen
was that NJ SazanofT had said that
the events on the Russo-Turkish
frontier would bring Russia nearer
realization of the political-econOmic
problem bound up with Rnssia's &C
cess to the sea-"
with these aspirations" he con-
tinued, England is in sympathy. What
form their realization will take will
no doubt be settled in the terms of
peace
The announcement of Sir Edward
Grey marks one of the important de-
velopments in the European political
situation since the beginning of the
war Russia's desire for a warm wa
ter port and an unrestricted outlet
from the Black Sea has long been one
of her most cherished national as

Prison Bill Beaten.

Prison Dill DSdISHs
The Cornelius prison contract labor
bill, which had the support of the
state administration, has been aban-
doned, and committee appointed by
Thomas ]. Roney, Democratic floor
leader, will try to draft another bill
behind which the Democrats can unite
their forces.
The Cornelius bill, which provided
foe the extension of the contract sys-
TEN at the penitentiary for six years,
from March 81, 1915, had to be with
drawn from the consideration of the
house.
Some of the Democrats in the house
take their platform pledges seriously,
and this was one of the stumbling
blocks in the way of the Cornelius
bill.

Commission May Decide Rate Raise.

Attorney General Barker, in an
opinion given to the state senate,
places all responsibility for increas-
ing railroad rates upon the public
service commission.
A resolution introduced by Senator
Carter and adopted in the senate
called on the Encouragement to say
whether, in his opinion, the public
service commission had power to in
crease rates above the 2-cent passen-
ger rate and the maximum freight
rates fixed by statute.
Attorney-General Barker's reply to
the senate resolution was awaited
with interest by politicians, because
it was known that Barker and John
NJ. Atkinson, chairman of the public
service commission, were rival candi-
dates for governor, and the final de-
cision of the rate question might have
a substantial effect on the guberna-
torial race.
Barker's opinion holds that pending
legislation looking toward an in
crease in maximum rates is superflu-
Gus. "The legislature" he says, has
already conferred all the power that
it can upon this commission to raise
rates"

Railroad Exempted.

The Robinson bill requiring the rail

the floor of the house of representa-

the informal calendar. The debate
showed the majority of representa-
tives are disposed to be lenient with
the common carriers. Representative
Noah Simpson of Lewis county, made
a defense of the railroads.
81 thought certainty no such legis-
lation as this would be attempted at
this session with the railroads in a
suppliant position, knocking at the
door of the legislature for relief" he
said.
