CONGRESS PLANS
FOR FINAL DRIVE
Revenue and National De-
Tense Bills Will be Given
Right of Way.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s. - The
senate was in session today for
eulogies TO three members who died
during the last session, Former
Sens. Shively of Indiana. Clarke of
Kansas, president protein, and Bur
leigh of Maine.
With the end of the 64th congress
but two weeks off, administration
leaders are concentrating their en-
ergies to the enactment of revenue
and national defense legislation.
Much long pending general legisla-
ton every one recognizes must give
way 10 appropriations and measures
that relate TO the preparation Of
the nation for eventualities which
may grow out of the diplomatic
breach with Germany.
Revenue and Naval Bills First.
In the senate the revenue and ma
val bills are 10 be given the right
of way as soon as the espionage and
anti-conspiracy bill now under con
sideration is out of the way. The
house will pass the army appTopria-
ton bill within a few days and then
devote its attention TO the sundry
civil and general deficiency appro-
priatiOns. What emergency legisla-
ton may be enacted before adjourn
ment depends entirely upon the de-
cision OF the president Many mem
bers of the senate and house believe
he will communicate within a few
days his plans for handling the in
ternational crisis. While there is
no definite understanding among
congressional leaders regarding the
course Of the administration. the
prevailing opinion is that he will
ask congress for authority to use the
armed forces of the nation for the
protection of American seamen and
American rights on the high seas,
not with the purpose of making war
but to open the sea TO shipping.
Shipping Bill Urgent.
While awaiting the next step,
whatever IL may be, the senate is
determined &c hasten action on the
revenue bill The naval appropria-
ton bill amended by the naval af-
fairs committee TO carry S533.00O,-
OO0, an increase Of s165, 900, 900
over the house bill. and the army
appropriation bill. In addition 10
these measures the shipping bill,
urged by the shipping board extend
ing the powers of the government 10
control comm ercial shipping, is OF
paramount interest.
Whether there viii be time fol
