SENATE TO VOTE ON |
 REVENUE BILL TODAY.
General Legislation Made Little i
 Progress Yesterday. i

Washington. Feb. 27.-Genera1 legis- lstion in the senate made virtually nc progress today and the prospect that some of the big supply measures win taiI to pass before March 4. when the present congress dies by limitation, was greater by 24 hours. For most of the six hours of the session the senate tatt1sd about the revenue bill, on which it already has agreed to vote tomor- row.
 The only other important bill that got even a glance from the senators Was the $535, 100000 naval appropria- ton bill. which was taken up for a brief time, but to which Senater Toilette again showed his opposition. The army appropriation bill still rest ed in the military affairs committee tonight, and the sundry civil and de- hciency measures have not even been sent over from the house.
 These indications lead many sena- tors to believe that President Wilson will find some Of the great government departments unprovided for March 5 and that he will be forced to call an extra session to give them funds. The first real test, however, on whether there is to be an out-and-out attempt to heat these measures or any ore Of them will not come until tomorrow Y ight after the vote on the revenue bill and it's amendments.

LARGE QUANTITIES OF
 POTATOES AND ONIONS
Are For Sale at Reasonable Prices in
 TWenty-eiqht States.

New York, Feb. 27.-After he had been informed by food commissioners in twenty eight states today that there were large quantities of potatoes and onions for sale at reasonable prices in all of the states except one. Commits sioner of Weights and Measures liar tigan declared reports current here of 3. shortage of supply and acreage were "sent out by spectators who are seek ing inordinate prices.'
 Prices charged for potatoes and on- ions in this city last week, the com missioner asserted. were from 25 to 35 per cent. higher than justified.
 Three of the states replying to his inquiries today, Commissioner Harti- gan said. offered to send here one thousand carloads of potatoes. Only one of the 28 states, he added, was importing potatoes and onions whereas another reported 1t had 10000, ,0OO bushels of seed stock and about 10 per cent, or 14.000,0 900 bushels, of general crop in warehouses.
 E There are sufficient potatoes and on- ions on hand now. to last until the next crops are gathered, Commissioner Harttgan declared he had been in- formed.

SCENE WHEN LAcoNIA
 SURVIVORS LANDED
Civilians, Soldiers, Sailors and Nurses
 Cheered and Sang.

Queenstown, Feb. 27, 40 a. m- There was an unusual scene on the decks when the Laconia survivors landed at Il o'clock in the evening. As the ship was made fast a huge crowd of civilians. soldiers, sailors and nurses began cheering and singing un- der the leadership of a shrilI-voiced feminine cheer leader in the uniform of the Women's National Service or ganization.
 The first passenger to land was an American woman, Mrs. F. E. Harris, who was accorded this honor by the captains order because of her heroism in supervising the departure of the women and children from the sinking ship. She was the last passenger to leave the Laconfa, standing by the side of the captain and going the rounds with him, carefully checking off the women and children passengers to see that they all were in their pIac- eSs aTfd Rrovi6ed with clothing blank cts and tarpaulins.
 After Mrs. Harris on the landing stage came other women and children from the Laconia. all clinging still to their life belts. and then the men mas sngers, some with life belts and some wearing life saving waistcoats of va riouS types

INVESTIGATING WRECK
 OF MERCANTILE EPRESS
Nine Members of One Family Were
 Among the Twenty Killed.

Altoona, Pa. Feb. 27.-Three inves- ugations were in progress tonight in an effort to determine responsibility for the wrecking of the Mercantile Elk press with a toll of twenty lives at Mount Union early today. Officials of the Pennsylvania road, headed by George W. Creighton. general super intendent, were early on the scene and later in the day representatives of the Tnterstat Commerce Commission and the Pennsylvania public service com mission arrived.
 Up to a late hour tonight the cause of the accident had not been definitely established but the railroad company after hearing the testimony of S. K. Jacobs, hagman on the ill-fated pas senger train. and H. B. Thomas, fire man of the freight that crashed into it, is inclined to place the blame for the accident on the engineer of the freight, A. T. Cook of Harrisburg.
 Work of clearing up the wreckage and the identification of the victims was completed early tonight All of the dead were occupants of the sleep ing car Bellwood and included nine members of the family of Chester A. Minds, Q coal operator of Ramey, Pa., and a former football star of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania.

will do. so as to prevent confusion. Administration Senators Confident Even in the senate the administra- tion Spokesn1en profess full confidence that measure satisfactory to the president will be passed later in the week Although most of the repubI- cans favor stronger action than has been proposed, it is believed they will vote for the committee bill when the roll cali comes.
 source of doubt lies in the attitude of Senator La Toilette. whose course to- day suggested the possibility of a fili- buster. With adournment only a few days off, one senator might easily talk the bill to death and force an extra session. The Wisconsin senator has not committed himself further than to say he did not think any action should be taken until the country was given a chance to see the proposed legisla- ton.
 After the cabinet meeting it was stated that the president had no pres again; that he felt that the situation rested with congress. It is rather generally believed, however, that if de- lay continues until adournment is at hand, he will make further move. president to receive tofnofrow two groups of persons opposed to war. One includes Miss Jane Addams of Chica- go, and the other, representing the Lea gue Against Mii;ta-ism, is headed by Amos Pinchct of New York.
 Fight in the House.
 The fight in the house committee centered upon the objection of some members to conferrine broad author ity upon the president and upon the efforts of others to have it stipulated that ships carrying munitions or con traband should not be furnished arms. After the first meeting Chairman Flood conferred with Postmaster gen eraI Buriescr and learned that the change in the bill as presented. The state department also let it be known that an amendment exempting vessels carrying contraband would be very ob- jectionabIe, both because it would be discrimination and be- cause it wo.lld open the way for end less controversy over what was con traband.

Washington. Feb. 27.-The admins tration waits upon congress to give the answer of the United States to the German campaign of ruthlessness sinking of the liner Laconia and the killing of two innocent American wo- men.
 Oficial accounts of the unwarned as the first clear-cut case of violation of American rights since the severance of relations with Germany were laid before President Wilson and the cabi- was decided that no step should be taken until congress had time to grant the request for additional authority to protect the lives and rights of Aneri- cans
 In congress little progress was made during the day toward enacting the legislation for which the president asked in his address yesterday. The senate foreign relations committee by a divided vote reported out a bill sim liar to the one introduced in the house, to authorize the president to arm mer- chant ships and employ such other instrumentaiitiez as he may deem nec- sssary." The formality of referring the measure back to the committee was blockod by Senater Lafol1ette and agreement to consider nothing except by unanimous consent until the reve- nue bill has been voted on tomorrow night. further action is delayed until Thursday.
 House Committee Considering Bill.
 On the house side. the foreign af- fairs committee talked through two sessions over phraseology. those oppos- ing action objecting chiefly to the words other instrumentalities."
 The committee finally adjourned un- til tomorrow without taking a vote.
 The administration leaders are not disturbed over the situation in the house, however. as it is well under stood that action under a special rule can be forced whenever it is regarded as necessary. Moreover, while there Is some real opposition in the commit tee and among the pacifist group In the house, both democratic and re- publican leaders indicate that it is deemed wise to delay putting through ! bill until it is clear what the senate

We do not believe we will be able to produce sufficient. to feed The population in time of peace, but we are confident we will be able to grow enough to slave off starvation during the war. For this we thank the German submarines. They already have given England an agricultural policy which is destined to make us to a large extent self-supporting.
