When the senate takes up the
armed neutrality bill this after
noon at 4 o'clock, an effort will
be made to substitute for the
bill passed by the house last
night, the senate bill authoriz-
ing the use of "other instrument
talities," in addition to the arm
ing of merchant ships. This
bill is backed by the admins
tration and it is expected that
it will be accepted later by the
house. Senator Stone, as chair
man of the senate committee
on foreign relations, will ask
consideration for the bill.
Congressman who have been
trying to force an extra session
Of congress now admit its i'm
probability at least until June.
The elimination of a clause
in the naval bill by the naval
committee that it is the policy
of the United States to adjust
and settle the constitutional
disputes through mediation
and arbitration to the end that
war may be honorably avoided,
was approved by the senate to-
day.
The Senate has adopted the
amendment to the naval bill
establishing a second navy
yard in San Francisco Bay with
an initial appropriation of
81, 100000 to acquire a site and
also adopts an amendment
making all appropriations i'm
mediately available.
