 Senator Underwood is not expected to
 return to Washington until Tuesday.
 and whether he will ask for immed-
 fate action on the measure is uncer-
 tain. The mild reservation republi-
 cans and many democrats have said
 they would support it. but some of
 the leaders think such a formal move unnecessary.
 The other suggestion widely talked of tonight was for general con- ference of democrats and republicans who want to see the treaty ratified. Those. backing the plan emphasized that the bipartisan character of such a gathering might eliminate many of the minor embarrassments of the situation and lead to an agreement on a reservation programme behind which the necessary two-thirds event ually could be mustered.

 BRYAN'S PARTY
 Two subjects earnestly discussed among the gathering leaders tonight were the part MT Bryan would play in the cam paign and the attitude of President Will son toward the presidential nomination. After ais long period of quiet. MT. Bryan apparently has made extensive plans to get into the political swim again, but whether he will be a candidate for tho nomination or will attempt to become the controlling facter in the convention has not been clearly demonstrated. His ac- tivities during the week therefore are awaited in many quarters with consider able curiosity.
 Speculation about the course of Presi- dent Wilson has raised the questions whether he intends to seek renomination and whether, ii he steps aside, he will actively support some one of the aspirants No authoritative reply to these queries has come from the White House. nor has been indicated definitely whether he would touch or these subjects in his Jack son Day message. as many of the leaders expect him to do.

AeiQht Of Sea Waves,

The records Of average height in
feet observed at sea are approximate.
ly equal to half the velocity of the
wind in statute miles per hour. For
those occasions on which the wind has
had as full opportunity as it ever en-
joys of doing its work, direct propor-
tiOnality still holds good, but the CON
slant is higher. 1t has been found
that seven-tenths best satisfies the
available observations between a
strong breeze and whole gale The
same simple proportion, however. does
not hold when dealing with the heights
corresponding to the gentleSt breezes,
The highest waves finally formed are
those travelling at n velocity which is
equal. within the error of observation,
to that OF the wind. --Brooklyn Eagle.
