DEADLOCK IN SENATE STILL UNBR0KEN
 AFTER 48 HOURS CONTINUOUS SESSION
SENATOR FOURTEEN PROSPECT
 BER-wlLsoN MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The Sen. ate is still in continuous session on the administrations ship purchasing bill. Senator Jones, of Washington state, after speaking for twenty-four hours continuously on the measure, spent fourteen more hours express. ing his views of the deadlock and the prospects of breaking it. He was speaking when many members roll. ed up in the cloak room for nap and was still speaking when they awoke in the morning.
 The Republicans have held the floor continuously for more than a week in an effort to talk the meas ure to death while the Democrats have always kept a quorum handy to immediately spring vote on the bill should the Republicans make a par liamentary slip which would cause them to lose possession of the floor.
 Senator Jones asserted that the Re- publicans intended to fight by all means at their command to prevent vote being taken on the question.

DENVER. Colo, Feb. 10.-Labor leaders in this state express satisfac. tion at the announcement that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., will visit the coal mines under his control in the state next spring as a result of the confer ence with Mother Jones and other la. bor leaders.
 The unions have appointed com mittees to secure additional data of the methods employed by the man. agers of the mine to bring on the re. cent strike, which resulted in the kill ing of scores of innocent women and children. A complete list of the gun men, with their former records in connection with strikes, who were enlisted in state militia and mine guards is being secured.
 New evidence tending to show that number of gunmen were permitted to fill the places of enlisted men in the militia under the assumed names of the mili+iamen. It is believed the federal government will investigate the charges as the substitution could only have been with the consent of the officers.

LONDON, Feb. 1O.-Military ex- perts in touch with the situation in Poland express the belief that the fear of the capture of Warsaw by the Germans has passed and that Gen. Hindenburg will shortly begin re- treating to the German border, The latest news from Warsaw indicates that the Russians operating south west of Warsaw have made gains and are threatening the German line Of communication. The offensive move ments of the Russians north of Lip no and extending through East Prus- sia to Gumbinnen, in the Mazur lake district, is evidently worrying the German general staff. Reinforce ments intended for Gen. Hindenburg at Warsaw, are reported as being rushed into East Prussia in an at tempt to check the Russian invasion through that province.
 Expect Victory Where Defeated.
 The Russian positions in the Lake district where the battle is develop ing is near the scene of the Russian disaster some months ago when more than 10000 Russians were captured by the Germans. The military ex- perts express the belief that, now that the lakes are frozen, permitting the rapid movement of troops, that the Russians have more than an even chance of turning the tables of the Germans in the battle which is be- ing waged.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-1t is re- ported in congressional circles that President Wilson will call a special session of congress to convene on March if the filibustering opposition to the administration shipping bill is continued. The session has been in session continuously without a break for more than AS hours and the members are nearly exhausted through loss of sleep.
 Not since the now famous session of congress in 1893, when the House deadlocked over the question of re. pealing the Sherman clause in the silver act providing for the purchase of silver, has deadlock continued so long, and been fought with such persistence.

COLON, c. Z, Feb. 1O.-A terrific storm which swept in from the ocean last night wrought havoc with the breakwater which is being built to protect shipping entering the Panama canal. One thousand feet of the breakwater has disappeared and as further damage will result.

Czar Nicholas At Warsaw.

So confident is Grand Duke Nich- olas, commander-in-c chief of the Rus sian army, who is now at the front directing operations against Gen. Hindenburg before Warsaw. that the Germans have spent their strength and are about to retreat, that he has in0lted Czar Nicholas to visit Rus sian positions along the battle line. The czar has been in Warsaw since the battle began which has resulted in terrific losses to the German forces in the desperate bayonet charges to capture the Russian trenches.

season.
Lavender lost his second two-hit
game of the season, and this went by
the board exactly as did the first one,
which was against Pittsburgh. In
One inning Jimmy hit a batter and
then let off a wild pitch. Therefore
he was strictly responsible for his
own downfall, though some response
bility weighs on the batters who
failed to connect for him.
The spectacle of Cheney pitching
two good games in one series has
thrown some cheer into the Cubs.
Larry has always been a winner in
the National league until this season
and if he regains his confidence
should be a valuable addition to the
staff, which is none too strong.
Zimmerman again gave vent to his
artistic temperament and but for this
outburst the Cubs might have had
draw out of the first battle. McLar-
Ty sat in for him and made an error
in the inning Lavender did his wild
pitching. Tight fielding there might
have altered matters, and Zim's bat
may have also changed the map.
Some of the Cubs. don't seem able
to realize that they have a chance for
the pennant if they decide to play
baseball for the next few months.
With the league as weak as it is, most
any team which concludes to do
nothing else but play the game has a
rafting chance.
Bresnahan knows this and is
straining every trace to keep his peo-
pie in the hunt. And he knows that
heavy hitters don't help the team
when they are on the bench through
the Umpire's order.

If Roger had not been on hand Zim
might have done something which
would have caused him to be set
down for a month or six weeks.
With the Cubs and Sox in first
places some Chicago fans are over
looking the Whales, and in so doing
they are missing a mighty game fight,
for Tinker's people have rallied from
the ruck and are steadily gaining on
the leaders. The fact that this is
being done in alien territory makes
it all the more remarkable.
Somewhere on the road the North
Siders have uncovered a mine of con-
fidence. They are just too darn
Chesty to admit defeat under any cir
cUmstances. No matter how the OPP
posing team goes out in front in the
fore part Of the game the Whales are
scrapping continually and their inces-
SAINT batteTing has resulted in victory
after victory. Games apparently
hOpelessly lost have been put back in
the won column by irresistible raj
lies in the final stages of the combat.
And every man on the team, with
the possible exception of Johnny Far
rell, who is in a batting slump, is
taking part in these dramatic scram-
bles. Yesterday the Whales tied the
score with five runs in the 9Th against
Newark and won in the 18th.
Especially valuable is the co-opera-
tive attack of Tinker's catchers,
Fischer and Wilson. Art usually
starts the game and Fischer pinches
for some mate and then relieves Will
son behind the log. This was the
program yesterday. Wilson got two
hits before he quit, then Fischer
came on and smote a triple and sin
gle. The triple came in the ninth and
counted two runs. All five runs were
scored after two were out and only
one man on base.
