Washington, Feb. 25.--With the ap
preparation @filibuster in the senat
AGAINST revenue legislation broken lat,
pestuous sessions of recent years, thu
Sixty-fourth. congress tomorrow vii
enter upon the last week of its Off
cial existence, still facing extraordt
nary legislative congestion.
Republican leaders who had threat
bill by dilatory tactics agreed TO {
final vote on the measure mex
Wednesday night, when confronted
with the democratic determination tC
hold the senate in continuous session
Danger of further efforts to force ar
extra session has not disappeared
however, for some of the minority in
sist that the president should be
forced to summon the Sixtyfifth con
gress to be on hand for eventualities
in the European crisis.
May Avoid Extra Session.
When the republicans made peace
with the majority over the $400,0O0,-
900 revenue and bond bill, and agreed
that appropriation measures might
be considered by unanimous consent
between now and Wednesday night
some minority leaders frankly con-
fessed to the belief that the action
would avoid necessity for an extra ses-
sion.
Administration leaders. uotWith.
standing the possibility of further
obstructive tactics interfering with
the army and navy measures and the
sundrv civil appropriation bill, were
iuhilant TODAY over the breaking OF
tbe revenue filihuster and expressed
conviction that al, differences vet to
arise may yet be ironed out in the
closing hours of the session.
Presidents Plans Unknown.
Whether President Wilson will go
hefore congress before adjournment
to discuss the relations between the
United States and Germany, the dem
ocratic leaders in both houses frankly
state thew do not know. Many of
tben, exnect that he will, but do not
nrofess 70 know what he will ask.
That nearly all pending legislation
so long urped nv the president must
fail at this session now is practically
conceded nv every one. If the reve-
me army and navy. sundry civil and
minor annronriation measures still
nonding oct through that is all that
tho most sanpuine democrats expect,
substitution of n hmm appropriation
for the rivers and harbors bill is al
most conceded The public buildings
hill is generally admitted to be dead.
The flood control bill probably will be
talked to death tomorrow in the five
hours allotted TO IT,
