Washington, Aug 26—A few score Wweary members of congrese and an im- patient president of the United States today confronted an unprecedented governmental sftuation, following last night's prolonged and fruitless strug- Ele to adjourn the session of congress. The outlook for tomorrow’s sesslons of house %and senate promised an dven more chaotio legislative condition than existed in the fight that began Satur- day morning and continued until nearly church time today. Neither House May Have Quorum. Disgusted with the aajournment fail- many members of the senate tpok y trains today for their hofnes. Senator Penrose predicted that there ‘would be much less than a quorum in the senate when it meets at noon to- morrow, and house leaders were satis- fied that that body would be nearly forty members short of the number Decessary to transact business. Filibuster by La Foliette. The double filibuster which compell- ed the abandonment of the plan to end 1he session of congress is expected to be renewed when the houses reconvene. Senator La Follette made knowa to friends today that he would insist upon a record vote on the adoption of the Penrose resolution for an investigation of campaign contributions of the Standard Ofl company in 1904, and of the correspondence Dbetween John D. Archbold, George W. Perkins and members of congrese. Chamberiain Also Filibusters. Senator Chambesrlain, who led the other senate fillbuster, the object of which was {o force the house to agree to the payment of $600,000 of old state claims, will have the support of many menators if he renews his insistence to hold congress uitil these claims are paid. The house deaders are determin- ed to fight the claims “until Decem- ber” if necessary. A Rather Dubious Outlook. Efther of the senate fillbusters holds trouble for any plan of adjournment Jf Senator La Follette should insist on a record vote, it would become neces- gary to secure a quorum. In such an event he could hold the senate indef- initely, because it would again be un- able to make an adjournmeat agreo- ment with the house. A $600,000 Bone of Contention. The general deficiency bill is agreed to on all points except the $600,000 of claims demanded by Virginia, Mary- land, Oregon and Texas, and the extra month’s pay for employes of the house and senate. Chairman Fitzgerald of the house conferees renewed today his declaration that under no circum- stances would the house conceds the payment of any of these. Chairman Fitzgerald Stubborn. “If the senate insists on thesa ftems in the bill it will force the measure to &0 over until the December session,” he gaid. “The house has announced its attitude firmly, and sooner than see it vield on the items I will raise the point of no quorum. Members know that it would be almost impossible to secure a u quorum now, except by the physical arrest of absent members.” Senate leaders were hopeful that the senate might be induced to yleld on these clalms, Nature of the State Claims, The state claims which have aroused the resentment of the house were all added to the general deficiency bill in the senate, In the case of the Mary- land claim of $72,000 and the Virginia olaim of $130,000 house conferees in- sist that the amouats now demanded by those states as “loans” that were made to the government in 1790 and 1791, actually were given to the gov- ernment, as an inducement for the lo- cation of the na(lona,llca%l_tal in the resent District of Columbia. 5 T!:'e Texas claim of $217,698.39 is to reimburse the state for money it spent from 1868 to 1861, in “defense of the Texas frontier against 1\;1‘«5;1 an ma- rauders and Indian depredators.” The Oregon claim of $193,543.02 18 for the expense of raising volunteers for the Indian wars from 1862 to 1867.

Senators Sleep in Their Chairs. i Scores of members of the house, who d:éed along for hours without an: thing to do, visited the senate chamber, and sat about, arguing with the sen- ators conducting the filibuster and listening wearily to the extended de- }t;:lt a dozen: senators slept in their “chairs the latter part of the session. About 3 o'clock the senate restaurant ran out of food and the senate went hungry. : Many Women Remain All Night. Scenes in the house early this morn- ing were picturesque. About twenty of the old guard, most of them democrats, remained. Up in the rostrum sat Speaker Clark, worn out, but enjoying the capers of some of the , whose mock speaches, stories and imi- tation of their colleagwes were not put into the official record. A hundred spectators, mostly wom- en, remained in the galleries all night. DR.

Roosevelt Will Write All Day PREPARING EXHAUSTIVE AN- SWER TO ARCHBOLD. LETTER TO COMMITTEE Colonel Will Embody in It Matters Which He Intended to Give as Tes- timony Before the Senate Committes e Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 25.—Having faileq to obtain a hearing before the senate committee investigating cam- | palgn coatributions because of the in- abllity of the commitiee to get to- gethet fomorrow, Colonel Reeseveit plans to write the committee a letter, embodying seme of the things to which he would have testified. He so de- clared tonight, in & statement in which he also took the committee to tesk for permitting John D. Archbeld to sall for Europe without telling more about the $25,000 he contributed to the republicen campaign in Pennsylvanla in 1904, Says He Is Greatly Chagrined. Colonel Roosevelt had received no direct word frem Senator Clapp when the correspondents visited him at Sag- amore Hill tonight. He had heard, he said, indirectly, of the committee's in- ability to have him appear before it tomorrow. He was greatly chagrined, he sald. Also, he added, the senate need not bother about cenferring ad- ditional powers on the committee if they wanted to find out about his primary campaign, his relations with George W. Perkins and William Flinn, the Pittsburg leader, or any other mat- ters connected with his primary cam- paign; or, for that matter, anything he had ever done as president. To Refute Archhoid’s Testimony. Details of his primary campaign, however, would have been brought out by questioning him, Mr. Rooseveit feels, and inasmuch as he will not be questioned, he plans at present to con- fine himself chiefly in his letter to refuting the testimony of John D. Archbold, in which Mr. Archbold said he was gssured that Colonel Roosevelt knew and appreciated a contribution of $100,000 which is alleged to have been made by Archboid in 1904 to the republican campaign. Will Be a Long Letter. The letter will be long. Colonel Roosevelt expeots to spend nearly all day tomorrow working on it, and he is not sure that it will be finished by tomorrow night. It is possible that he will touch lightly upon his primary campaign of 1913, It is reasonably sure that he will devote considerable space to his relations with Senator Penrose while he was president. What Cortelyou Says. Colonel Roosevelt said that last night he bad seen George B. Cortel- you, who was republican pational chairman in 1904. “Mr. Cortelyou tells me that he nev-, er heard Mr. Archbold’s name men- tionad in connection with any contri- bution by Mr. Bliss,” Colonel Roose- velt sald, “and that, as regards him- self, the whole story Is a fabrication out of the whole cloth, as, of course, it is about me.” COMMITTEE SCATTERED. Will Be Unable to Hear Colonel Until Late in September. Washington, Aug. 25.— Colonel Roosevelt will not have an oppor- tunity to answer John D. Archbold’s statements before the senate commit- tes Investigating campaign expendi- tures until late in September, Senator Clapp, chairman of the sub- committee to which Mr. Archbold told his story of havi contributed $100,~ 000 to the Roosevelt fund in 1904, tel- egraphed Colonel Roosevelt at 4 o'clock this morning that the committes woulg not be abls to hear him Monday, as the colonel destres, Late today Bemator Clapp recelved a telegram from Senator Dillingham of Vermont, chairman of the commit- tea on privileges and elections, an- nouncing that Benator Pomerens of Ohio would be appointed to take the place of Benator Luke Lea of Ten- nesses, who has resignad, Benator Pomerens is now fn Ohle, however, and Senator Clapp said it appeared im- pogsible to bring the sub-eommittes of five together before the end of Sep- tember, Following the receipt of Colonel Hoosevelt's telegram last night, Ben~ ator Clapp mads efforts to arrange for a commiites meeting Monday, Sena- tor Lea inslsted upon resigming at ance, however, the illness of his wife and ohild making jt jmperative that he sheuld leave Washingion, Senu. iors Oliver and Pemerena already had iefi Washingion, Benator Jones left today for the Pacific caast, The com- mitiee undeubtedly will preceed late in Segwmhar wifh its investigation, even though the Penrose resolution for additional autherity should not be pasged by the senate tomorrow, TAFT MISSES CHURCH, Up All Saturday Night, He Slept Dur- ing Time of Services. ‘Washington, Aug.
