PRICE TWO CENTS FINAL VOTE ON REVENUE BILL NEXT WEDNESD in Gonnecticut in Proportion to the City's Population LAST WEEK SIXTY-FOURTH CONGRES: Filibuster in Senate Against Revenue Legislation Wz : * Broken Saturday Night Whether President Will Go Before This Congress for Grea Powers, is Unknown—Nearly All Pending Gene Legislation So Long Urged by the President Will F Action—Prohibition for the District of Columbis, propriations, Food Prices and Increased Pay for Gove ment Employes Wil Figure in Final Drive in the Hou Washington, Feb. 2.—With the re- publican " filibuster in the senats against revenue legislation broken late last night, after one of the most tem- Destuous sessions of recent years, U sixty-fourth congress tomorrow will enter upon the last week of its offi- clal existence still facing extraordi~ nary legislative congestion. Final Vote Wednesday. Republican leaders who had #fireat- ened to defeat the emergency revenue bill by dilatory tactics agreed to a fi- nal vote on the measure next Wed- nesday night, when confronted with the democratic determination to hold the senate in continuous session. Dan- ser of further efforts to force an ex- tra session has not disappeared, how> ever, for some of the minority insist that’the president should be forced to summon the siaty-fifth congress to be on hand for eventualities in the Euro- bean crisis. Extra Session Still Probable. When the republicans made peace with the majority over the $400,000,000 revenue and bond bill and agreed that appropriations measures might be considered by unanimous, consent be- tween now and Wednesday night, some of the minority leaders conféssed to the belief that the action would avoid necessity for an extra session. Among senators who held this view was Sen- ator Smoot, acting minority _leader. Senators Lodge and Borah and others would not concede this, although they admitted that circumstances might de- velop during the week which would clear the situation materially. President’s Intentions Unknown. Whetber President Wilson is, to g0 before congress before adjournment to discuss the relations between the United States and Germany, the demo- cratic leaders in both houses state they do not kno An indication of the feeiing of some of the republicans following the heat- ed discussion vesterday of their com- plaints of lack of forceful action by the government to protect American shipping interests against the German submarine blockade came in the in- troduction of a bill by Senator Fall of New Mexico, which would authorize the president to use the armed forces of the mation to protect the commerce, property and lives of citizens of the United $tates.

Washington, Feb. 25.—Newspaper publishers invited here from through- out the United States will give the federal trade commission their views tomorrow on a proposal by news print paper manufacturers that the commis- sion fix prices for their product. Con- sent of the publishers generally is awaited before the commission will agree to arbitrate differences hetween the paper makers and the publishers. Officers of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association who have been bere for several days have indicated they will approve (he proposal if it promises in addition®to lower prices a restoration of free competition in news print tonnage, and also want the sig- -nalures of all members of the execu- tive committee of the News Print Manufacturers’ association. Publishers arriving tonight consist- ed largely of those who have pur- chased their paper from manufacturers who joined in the price fixing sugges- tion. "It is generally believed the pub- lishers will approve the plan and that the trade commission within -a few days will announce acceptance of the manufacturers’ suggestion. GERMANY TO MAINTAIN ITS SUBMARINE BLOCKADE. Declaration is Made in Reply to Brazi™s Note of Protest. Rio_aJnerio, Feb. 25.—Brazil's decla- ration to Germany that she does not recognize the submarine blockade and leaves with Germany the responsibil- ity for all acts from which Brazilian merchantmen may suffer in violauon of international law, has elicited from Germany a etatement that the biock- ade will not be abandoned. It is an- nounced officially that the German foreign office has declared to the Bra- zillan minister in Berlin that it re- grets neutral interests should suffer on account of military measures. Nevertheless Germany has reached the unchangeable determination to main- tain the submarine blockade, to aban- don which would involve national an- nihilation. In case of the loss of Brazilian ships the German government, the foreign office says, will suggest diplomatic ne- gotiations.
