Believed the House viii Accept Sen
ate Amendments.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-All the
factions in the senate, which had had
their varying views on the proper
American policy before war was de
clared against the German government,
united today to push through by a
unanimous vote the administration S
first important measure for prosecuting
that war. BY s. votes to O., the great
est bond bill in the historr of the
world, authorizing credits a9gregating
s. ,000, 100000, was passed after a
single days debate. Although the
Vice President appointed conferees last
night to expedite the final stages of the
bill, it is believed that the house will
accept the senate amendments without
insisting upon a conference. The bill
had already passed the house by a
unanimous vote.
The great measure carrying the pro-
vision for loan Of $4,000, 100000 to
the allies was under discussion for Just
seven hours. Whether conference is
held or not in a few hours the execu.
tive branch of the government will
have the great war chest at its DISPOSE
ion to conduct the war. The dominant
thought in the debate was that in the
inability Of the nation to supply men
at once for the fighting lines, money
should be America S immediate contri-
button to her allies. The discussion
was totally devoid of partisan express
sion. Every senator speaking an
nouaeed stanch intention to aid the
government in prosecuting the war to
speedy conclusion.
| While the debate was progressing
Secretary McAdoo conferred with tho
advisory council of the federal reserve
| board about the bond issue. Among
the members of the advisory council
who were present was J. =. Morgan oil
New York. Mr.. McAdoo told the mem
bers of the council that he would adj

| country as to the methods to be fol

! Following the meeting with the bank

line of action than he did in regard t.
i the success of the loan. He reiterate,
his declaration that there would not b,

RUM0RS IN AIR
 OF BLOODSHED
 AT kENNEC0TT Alameda Brings Weird Stories of Clash at
 Westward. STRIKE BREAKERS QUIT BI0OdShed RumorS Prob- ably Result of Breakers
 Joining Strikers.
STRIKE BREAKERS QUIT

With the arrival of the steamer Alameda from the westward last night all kinds of rumors were circu- lated that there had been clash be tween United States soldiers at the Kennecott mine near Cordova and the striking miners. One report had it that 15 miners were killed and one soldier had been mortally wounded. Skagway had the report when the Alameda arrived there according to advices received here.
 Today The Empire has been un- able to secure any positive informa- tion although advices have been 1 sought both from the United States authorities at Shushanna Junction and from COrdova. If any such con flict had taken place it is believed that advices could have been received before going to press.
 The Empire did receive one dis patch this morning from Shushanna Junction as follows:
 Fifteen strikebrea,-ers were ship ped here Saturday. July 7th, and Sunday. July 8th, all mill men walked out and joined the striking miners. the strike breakers following suit The Kennecott plant is completely paralyzed."
 It is believed the facts contained in this dispatch formed the basis for the rumors in circulation at Skag way yesterday afternoon and in Ju neau last night and this morning. One report today circulated was to the effect that the Mariposa due from the south tomorrow morning will make an extra call at Fort Will liam H. Seward and take 56 sol diers from there to Cordova to be transported to Kennecott. lnforma ton on this subject cannot be SC cured, war time restriction of the government positively forbids any newspaper to chronicle movements of soldiers.
