the House.

WASHINGTON, March BY a
vote of 6S to IA, greater majority
than they expected, administration
forces in the senate today tabled Sen
ator Cores resolution to warn Ameri-
cans off the armed ships of the Euro
pean belligerents and thereby finally
quelled in the senate an agitation
which has embarrassed President Will
son in his submarine negotiations with
Germany.
Senator Cores resolution substi-
tute by Senator McCumber, a Repub-
lican, and an attempt by Senator Gore
to strengthen his original proposal, all
were defeated at one time on a roll
call on motion by Senator James, one
OF the administration Whips, to table
them.
The administration victory in the
senate transferred the fight to the
house.
Senator Gore voted to table because
he did not favor his own substitu-
ton and introduced it merely to get an
expression of the senate on that is
sue.
The house will consider some sort of
a warning resolution later
AT the request of Chairman Pou of
the rules committee, it was agreed to-
day to recess tonight until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning in order to give the
resolution a chance to come up under
unanimous consent.
Senators Chamberlain and O'Gor-
man were the only Democrats to vote
against the administration, which was
supported by every southern senator
The other IL anti-administration votes
were all Republican. Forty-seven
Democrats and 81 Republicans voted
to table the resolution
1t was said at the White House that
the result in the senate was satisfac-
tory and met the wishes of President
Wilson. 1t was added that attention
would not be concentrated on the sit
uation in the house.
When morning business finally was
closed Senator Stone asked that the
Gore resolution be laid before the
senate. Senator McCumber of North
Dakota offered a substitute which
would express the sense of the senate
that the rules of international law
should be revised to meet new condi-
ations with foreign powers, Americans
be requested to refrain from travelling
on armed vessels.
When the McCumber substitute had
been read, Senator Stone again called
for the Gore resolution and it was
laid before the senate. Senator James
moved that the resolution and all
substitutes be laid on the table.
Senator Gore then offered a correc-
tion on his resolution to make it de-
clare that the sense of the senate that
the death of an American citizen on
an armed merchant ship would be
just cause for war.
After a brief parliamentary brush
Senator Gore was permitted to submit
the correction of his resolution but
when he sought to discuss it he was
shut off on objection by Senator
JduleS. Ht COIItCLlUI was LHbI TCdu
and Senator James moved that 1t be
included in the motion to table the
original resolution and all substitutes.
Senator Gallinger asked that the
original Gore resolution be read. That
was done and the vice president or
dered roll call on motion to table
Senator Cores correction, which it
was decided had to be considered sep
arately.
The senate voted to table the Gore
correction relating to sinking Of un-
warned American merchant ships as
a cause for war by a vote Of G8 to H.
The vote on the motion to table
the Gore correction was so framed
that it also tabled the Gore resolution
itself, Senator McCumber's substitute
and all other proposals. ~ ro4- a6t-

and all substitutes. The vote was 6S
