Evidence Shows Big Liner Attacked at Night and
 Without Warning.
WHOLE SITUATION
 UP TO CONGRESS
Strong Opposition Develops to Grant ing Presidents Request for Power tO Put Nation in State of
 Armed Neutrality.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Thn admin istration waits on congress to give the answer of the United States to Ger many's campaign of ruthlessness, which has reached it's climax with the sinking of the Laconia, and the killing of two innocent American women. Official accounts of the unwarned night attack on the Cunard liner, re- garded 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 cabinet today by Secretary Lan- sing.
 It was decided that no step should be taken until congress has had time to grant the presidents request for additional authority to protect Am erican vessels and lives and the rights of Americans to travel the seas.
 Congress Works Slowly. In congress, little progress was made durnng 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 bill similar to the one introduced in the house, to authorize the president to arm merch- ant ships and employ such "other in- strumentalities as he may deem neces- sary." The formality of referring the resolution back to the committee was blocked by Senator LaFollette, and as the senate is working under an agreement to consider nothing by unanimous consent until the revenue bill has been voted on tomorrow night, further action is delayed until Thurs day.
 On the house side, the foreign af- fairs committee talked through it's ses- sion over the phraseology. Those op- posing action objected chiefly to the words Cor other instrumentalities." The committee finally adjourned till tomorrow without taking vote. Administration Confident. The administration leaders display ed no anxiety over the situation in the house, as it is well understood that action under the rule can be forced whenever it is regarded as necessary. Moreover, while there is still some op- position in the committee ada mong the pacificist group in the house. both Republican and Democrat leaders inti- mate that it is deemed wise to de- 1, lay putting through the bill until it is clear what the senate will do, so as | to prevent confusion.
 Even in the senate, the administra- tion spokesmen profess full confidence that the measure as it is, will be passed later in the week, although most of the Republicans favor stronger ac- ton than has been proposed, and it is expected they will vote for the bill when roll call comes. Some senators believe the only source of doubt lies in the attitude of Senator LaFollette, whose course today suggested the possibility of a filibuster. With ad- journment only a few days off, one senator might easily talk the bll to death and force an extra session of congress. The Wisconsin senator dd not comment further today than to say that he did not think any action should be taken until the country is given a chance to see the proposed

BRYAN OPPOSES
 GRANTING PLEA
 OF PRESIDENT Goes to Washington to En- deavor to Have Wilson's
 Request Denied.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 27.-William J. Bryan, in a statement given out here today, said he was opposed to granting power to the president such as MT. Wilson requested of congress yesterday. After receiving answers to number of telegrams he sent to Washington today, he decided to pro ceed at once to the capital and use his efforts to have the request declined.
 "Whatever power is conferred upon the president should, I think, be so limited as not to constitute a sur render of the power of congress" he said today.
 MT. Bryan said he had the greatest faith in the presidents high purpose, but it is his opinion that it would be unwise to delegate to the chief execu- tive the authority asked for, mo mat ter how much confidence we have in the executive"
