way the session would end could have
been foretold many hours beforehand,
The President was present In the room

came to the Capitol being flibustered
out OF existence largely by Senator Sher-
man.

the twenty-six hour final session OF the
upper body-the session began at 10
o'clock yesterday morning-at least two
persons waiting to squeeze In to take the
place OF every weary departing watcher.

LINED AGAINST

Eight More Than Majority
Pledged to Defeat Cow

FALL AND ELKINS JOIN
Four Democrats in Opposition
Nationwide Campaign
Opens This Week.
Special Despatch to TEE Sen.


WASHINGTON, March 4.-The defeat OF
the ratification of President Wilson's
League Of Nations constitution by the
Senate Is assured by a clean cut ma
jority In the Sixty-sixth Congress. This
fact became evident to-day when two
more Republican names were added to
the list of signers Of the pledge that they
would vote against ratification OF the
present instrument, and that they would
support the contention that there should
be no complication OF the League OF Ma
tons constitution with the peace treaty.
The number Of Republicans signing the
document read into the Record last night
by Republican, Leader Lodge was
brought up to thirty mine to-day by the
addition Of Senator Eikins CIV. va.) and
Senator Fall New Mex.). The compo-
sition of the adverse majority in the
new Senate. however. does not depend
upon the signatories to the Lodge docu-
nent. Added to the thirty-nine Senators
mentioned, there must be included from
the Republicans of the Senate the fol-
lowing Senators who will take the same
position and who will vote for League
of Nations constitution only after radical
amendments:
Senators La Toilette (wis.). Kellogg
(Minn.). Norris (Neb.), Kenyon Ga } .
McNary (ore.). Nelson (Minn.). Jones
WASH and Capper (Kan.). This
brings the Republican fraction of the OPP
position up to forty-seven. 1t admits
only two members apparently willing to
stand by President Wilson. They are
Senators Colt Or. - and McCumber
IN. d., although the latter has stated
in the Senate within the last two days
that the Wilson covenant was not ac-
ceptable without amendments, insuring
the preservation Of the Monroe Doctrine
intact.
Fifty-one Senators Oppose League.
Out of the Democratic ranks In the
new Senate the opposition to the League
OF Nations counts upon the following
Senators irrevocably opposed to the ac-
ceptance OF the constitution by the Sem
ate, who bring the total sure opposition
up to flfty-two, giving a clear anti
league majority in the Senate Of eight
votes: Senators Reed (Mo.). Thomas
tCol). Gore tOkla.). Myers (Mon)
and King (Utah).
This is believed by the opponents OF the
British-Wilson league plan to be the ir-
reducible minimum Of Senate opposition.
- There are, however. in the Democratic
minority of the next Senate four other
Senators who, although not yet prepared
to assume a position Of open hostility to
the league constitution, will not be salts
fed without complete revision OF the
document, and can be counted upon to
force such material amendments as will
take from 1t all the objections pointed
out In Senator Lodges (Mass.) analy-
sis of the faults of the instrument and
the legal dissection of the Wilson plan
by Senator Knox tPa). The four
eoadjutors OF the Democratic insurgents
against the British Wilson peace pro-
eramme are Senators Underwood Gala },
Bankhead (Ala.). Shields (Tenn.) and
Chamberlain (Ore).

When Congress closed great many
bills appropriating billions OF dollars
were blocked and will have to go
through the whole legislative process
again. The most important from the
standpoint OF immediate necessity OF
course was the general deficiency bill.
This measure would have appropriated
sS42, 100000 the particularly important
item being the railroad one for $3.50, 0O0,-
600, urgently needed by the Railway
Administration.
In addition to the railroad revolving
fund the general deficiency bill carried
appropriations aggregating s92. 900, 900
which included $50, 100000 for the pur-
chase and requisition of ships by the
Shipping Board.
Among the other measures pending
and which came to death with the
end OF Congress were bills defining the
shipping policy and dealing with I'M
employment and illiteracy problems, the
oil. gas and coal land leasing and the
water power development bills, the
woman suffrage resolution, a compro-
