It is assumed that the appropriation bills will be jammed through by hook or crook in the closing hours, but doubt is enter- tained as to some of the other measures pending. Tarift Bill Status. The emergency t Dbill seems to be in the position where “everybody is for it and nobody wants it"—that is to sav, {none but a few statesmen having the farmers' interest at heart, in common with others, and holding that this is a !l | proper measure of relief.

The advocates of it are just as earnest in their Intention to frustrate this scheme and declare they will watch all parliamentary advantages and be on the alert for dilatory moves by the enemy. Senator Borah is classed as having possibly thrown a monkeywrench into the legislative machinery by his reso- lution aimed to suspend, if adequate ground can be made to justify it, the naval bullding program for six months. The friends in Congress of the naval building plan do not pro- pose to relax their support of the program while time is consumed in ascertaining whether it should be held up, but will go ahead with the appropriations to carry on. Usual Jam Is Expected. The closing hours of the session bid fair to present the usual jam of bills desperately pushed for comple- tion to engrossment and presentation to President Wilson for signature. At the end of a Congress, bills failing to receive the presidential signature die and must be renewed from the beginning in the succeeding session. With this prospect of a big rush of last-minute bills, President Wilson will_either have to follow custom and be present in person in the President’s room at the Capitol, with his cabinet advisers, to act upon the tardy bills, or a super rapid-transit system of communication between the White House and the Capitol must be de- vised. His present condition of health is said to warrant expectation that he can go to the Capitol.
