Caucus Shatters All Hope For
Early Adjournment.
LOSS 0E3ATE ON TRUSTS.
Overman, Chairman of Lobby Inveitl
gating Committee, Delays Report 80
33 to Keep Down Activities of Lob
byists on Trust and Tolls Moasuros.
Filibuster Delays Many Qillfk.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. May 23. — [Special.]—
After the Democratic caucus there
were numerous predictions that that
action meant an early adjournment,
but ilu-re arc others who are not quite
so optimistic, especially those on the
senate side of the capltol. — _
Several senators said that If the
president still insisted upon putting
through the trust legislation congress
would be In session until October.
Some of them went so far as to say
th:it there would be three months' dls
eussion 011 the trust bills before they
could pass the senate. Unless the
program for having the bill reported
itul having 110 action at this session Is
taken it looks as though congress would
oe here for a long time.
Delayed Lobby Report.
Chairman Overman of the senate
lobby investigating committee Is not
rustling 10 make a report upon the
hearings which have been held and
wlii' h created considerable interest at
the time.
■■[ am not hurrying this report," said
the North Carolina senator. "I desire
to keep it open for a little while. It
keeps them 11 way from here. Those
fellows who would be lobbying on the
tolls and other bills that are pending
ire kept away because if they put in
111 appearance we would have them
before the committee." So it appears
that the viere fact that this committee
might meet at any time Is a good anti
dote for lobbyists.
Watching the Record,
Congressman r.aruhart in the house
and Senator Smoot In the senate are
(he watch logs of the Congressional
Record. but they have things slipped
over on theui occasionally in spite of
all their efforts. Rarnhart found Sen
iii ir Smoot asleep at the switch the
oilier day when Senator La Follette
slipped in o''.S pages of printed stuff
regarding interstate commerce. No
one docmneut ever occupied quite so
much space.
Seeking a Way Out.
There Is really considerable regret
that the house clogged calendar
Wednesday so that different measures
[ could not be considered in which
I many members are interested. "If
: hey could get two or three fellows out
I of the house the clerk could skip fifty
' or sixty p;ices of that code bill, ond
j we would get through with it," was a
' remark of Champ Clark.
The speaker has been long enough in
congress t<> know that there are times
when everybody is in a rush and that
a good reading clerk can dlspoBe of
I bills mighty fast. The same is true in
I the sen-'te. Rut it happens that some
1 body had a filibuster on. and the clerk
h:ts l.fon compelled to read every word
and was not allowed to skip a line.
Sloan's Little Joke.
j The house had a bill up for two reve
nue cutters, and Congressman Sloan of
Nebraska obtained a little time from
Chairman Adamson of the Interstate
commerce committee and asked him
why there was auy necessity for more
revenue cutters. "We have the greatest
revenue cutter I11 this house, knotou to
the world as the ways and means com
mittee," said Sloan. "It has reduced
the revenue $IS,000,000 since last Oc
tober."
"I object to the gentleman trifling
with my young affections." replied Ad
amson, "for lie gave me an intimation
of that witticism, and I told him I
would object to the gentleman's re
mark in the house this afternoon be
cause it is not up to his standard, and
I would not have yielded to him if I
had thought he was going to inflict
that upon us."

Senator Borah of Idaho were having n
running debate on the canal tolls
proposition, and Williams thus spoke
of one suggestion made by Borah: "Of
ail the enfantlllage that has been ut
tered in this debate that easily stands
as the chief. It is not even original
with the senator from Idaho."
"I would not claim originality in a
chamber where the senator from Mis
sissippi sits." retorted Borah.
"Ob. pshaw!" said Williams.
Viewing the Wreckage.
Ever since that Democratic caucus
members of the house have been view
ing the wreckage, as It were, and
pointing out what bills have been lost
by reason of the presidential program.
Not only do they talk about the presi
dential primaries, the prohibition
amendment, the suffrage amendment,
the Philippines independence bill, the
seaman's bill, but quite a number of
others that are not likely to receive
consideration under the plans that have
been agreed upon Of course the house
would have time, but the members will
probably not stay here ifter they get
through the trust bills.
SAILORS READY TO
INVAOE MEXICO
Would Take Place of Army In
Case ol Emergency.
NO BREACH IN THE CABINET
Rumors That Persistently Arise Are
Without Foundation — Bryan and
Daniels Favor Peace In Mexico.
While Garrison and Lane Think That
Action Is Inevitable.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. May 20.—[Special.1 —
One of the unexplained features of
the demonstration against Mexico is
that such a tremendous fleet has been
kept in Mexican waters—a fleet which
we would use to light n nation with
a big navy.
For the most part, nearly everybody
thinks that, so far as naval activity is
concerned, some of the smaller cruis
ers and gunboats and possibly a few
torpedo boats would have been sufii
cleut to handle the Mexican coast.
But, In addition to such vessels, the
biggest ships of the navy are stewing
In the hot waters of the gulf of Mex
ico, laying off the ports and doing
their share of "watchful waiting."
An explanation of the reason for
keeping so many ships in Mexican wa
ters has been made, but not by the
officials. It appeal's that the admin
istration is loath to send any more
soldiers into Mexico, but at the same
time felt that the situation was such
that it may be necessary to land again
a large force of sailors, so the ships
are hovering arouud the Mexican ports
in order to have the navy take the
place of the army on shore if any great
emergency should arise.
No Breach Apparent.
While it has been reported several
times, and with some show of accu
racy, that there is a breach In the cab
inet of President Wilson, there is no j
confirmation of anything of the kind, j
If certain cabinet officers disagree with
other cabinet officers they have been
careful not to discuss their differences
■with anybody and make nn authorita
tive statement on the subject
It has been assumed that Secretary
Bryan in the state department and
Secretary Daniels In the navy depart
ment have been standing out against
war In Mexico, while it is supposed
that Secretary Garrison nnd Secretary
Lane are of the opinion that evidently
the United States will have to take
hold and settle the Mexican problem
by military means nnd the sooner it is
done the better.
Of course If there are any such differ
ences there Is one man who controls.
The president always has the last
•word, and what he says goes, -whether
It suits certain members of the cabinet
or not.
Hobnobbed With the Kaiser.
Major General Wotherspoon, now
chief of staff of the army, has hail a
■wide and varied experience in military
affairs and a splendid opportunity to
study military conditions. He has been
sent abroad on different occasions to
study the military situation in Europe,
and on one trip he met the German
emperor, and they became good friends.
The kaiser found General Wother
spoon a mau to his liking, particularly
' on account of his wonderful knowledge
of military affaire and keen perception
of military conditions.
When Is a Subsidy?
On account of the reasou given for
the repeal of the cannl tolls, that it is
a subsidy to- the coastwise shipping,
the subject bobs up frequently in dis
cussions In the senate. A few days
ago Senator Gallinger of New Hamp
shire sited if many of the appropria
tions In the agricultural appropriation
bill were not virtually subsidies and If
money from the people was being used
to build up a certain class. The bill
\vns In chiii-go of Senator Gore of Okla
homa. who In response remarked that
it was the desire of the committee "to
rally as much support to the bill as
possible, and we thought by inserting
n subsidy we would have the unani
mous and enthusiastic support of the
senior senator from New Hampshire."
A Harmless Commodity.
Senator Norris of Nebraska was dis
cussing the canal tolls with especial
reference to freight rates, and in the
course of his remarks lie said, "Let's
take grape juice, one of the commodi
ties that lias not only increased In use
but in popularity."
"What article is that?" asked Mar
tine of New Jersey, who had not been
jiving much attention.
"Grape Juice," answered Norrls.
"Oh. that harmless commodity!" ra
llied Martine scornfully.
"The senator -ts not interested In
that." suavely remarked Norrls and
went on with his speech.
Another Roosevelt.
Congressman Bry;iu of Washington
was one daj discussing the navy yard
it 1'tlgel sound and remarked, "Mr.
Roo. volt when he came back the otb
sr day from inspection of the navy
rard said the Uremorton yard was
bully.'''
"What Roosevelt?" asked Madden of
Illinois.
replied Bryan, "it was not
r. I!.. but if was .mother 'bully' as
sistant secretary of the navy who said
the Puget sound yard was a 'bully'
rard.'"
MAKING' STE£L RAILS.
How tho Glowing Ingots Aro Rol «d
Into Shape and Cut.
Tb.it rail mil; was certainly a won
derful Mslit: Tlie enormous glowing
Ingots were carried "ii a transfer ear
to a sort df trough. Tho floor of the
trough. or "table." as they call it. con
sisted of ;i ' -. i i -s of rollers that were
tu:;.in:. i (titling ou thetu, the
bug. ■ i uii.-M i „• >t sailed along until it
buiup'd against a poir of large steel
rot'.! Imnediate the rolls seized it
iii.il hauled it through, like clothes
through a el tlies wringer. We could
uot see I fiat it had been flattened down
very much, but we noticed that deep
corri^aiioiiS had been cut iuto Its up
per surface.
As It moved on the rollers turned it
over on its silk' before it was caught
by the next pair or "stand" of rolls. It
went through four stands in succes
sion. turning over b' nvcen each stand
until it had made a complete turn,
riien it came to what is called a "three
hii.li mill, which has three rolls, one
above the oilier First the "bloom," as
it "a* now called, went between.the
middle .ml bottom rolls, but no sooner
had it eii.eir (tiau it was raised L>od
tty. ill.' - ip:>r! :ug roller "tables" on
both Mi - of the 111NI being raised up
.•ilti.ultitneuti-ly
The rollers of the tables were then
reversed, causing the bloom to start
back" betwein the middle and top rolls.
The tables were now lowered, their
rollers reversed and the bloout sent
through between the middle and bot
tum rolls, as before, but this time it
w;is switched to one side, where the
rolls were a little larger in diameter,
and it was a tighter squeeze getting
through them.
And so the bloom went back and
forth, being switched over to a tighter
;.ass each time until it wu3 squeezed
[own to about eight inches square and
over forty feet long. Tbeu it was cut
:ii two. and each bloom went through
•uiother set of rolls that gradually
worked it down to the size and shape
of a rail. It was fascinating to watch
■ icit smikelike l :ir over a hundred feet
long writhing as if alive.
As it came back for its last sally
i'irough the rolls a whistle was blown
as a warning that the rolling was fin
: .lied, and the rail was now on its
• ay to the saws. There were five cir
cular saws that dropped down upon
ilie flowing metal and amid a shower
of sparks sawed it Into four ten-yard
rails After that the rails were car
ried iff ou "run out tables" to the "bot
t-ds" to cool.—St Nicholas.
