RESULTS WILL FULL SHORT Attitude of the Senate is Such that Extensive Legislation is Likely to Be Blocked. Washington.—Despite the fact that the democrats of the house, by official caucus action, have declared a pur pose to enact tariff legislation during the extra session of congress, begin ning Tuesday at noon, the prediction was freely made in congressional circles that no such legislation can be put through the senate at this time and that the extra session will ad journ earlier than has generally been anticipated. Sentiment among the regular rppub j licans in the senate is overwhelming ly against any sort of tariff revision at the extra session, and there are multi plying evidences that the regular re , publicans are disposed to do all they i can to placate the progressive or in surgent wing of the party in the sen ate so as to bring about some sort of harmony. Without the support of the progressives the democrats cannot possibly-^ge' any tariff bills through i the upper branch of congress. As matters stand it is apparent that the regular republicans of the senate will do everything in their power to postpone all matters of general legis lation until the regular session next December. It is reported that a num ber of the progressive republicans are likely to fall in with this idea. President Taft, sending in a mes sage dealing with Canadian recip rocity al<>ne. will pave the way for the program which the senate repub licans propose to adopt at a caucus to be held probably on Tuesday after noon me promise maue t>y president Taft that the tariff board will be ready with a complete report on the textile schedules of the tariff by Dec. T next, and the hope he has informally ex pressed that congress will decide to wait tor this report before acting on 1 these schedules makes the situation a little more difficult for the demn I crats in that the insurgent vote in the I senate is likely to be won over to the president's proposition. The republican insurgents regard the tariff board idea as of their own creation. They have advocated it as a scientific method of revising the 1 tariff. President Taft has worked hard to secure legislation making the 1 tariff lioard permanent and may send in a second message to the extra ses sion dealing with this subject. It is pointed out that with a report ; on the much-discussed cotton and wool schedules promised by next Pe , cember the insurgent republicans will not stultify themselves by voting for house bills amending these schedules without regard to the tariff board. There is little doubt but that consider ation of the reciprocity measure will occupy weeks of the senate's time. DIAZ WILL STEP ASIDE. Deady to Do So if the People Think He Ought To. Mexico City.—President Diaz is ready to step aside and let another take his plac^ as chief executive of Mexico, if the people think he ought to do it. He will accept the dictum . of congress on this issue as the voice I of the public. This declaration is the most important message which he : sent to the opening of the Twenty fifth congress here. After recom mending a number of genera! reforms, the president made the proposition that hereafter no citizen should be j eligible to re-election as president. He urged a reform of the election laws, in order that all the citizens of the | country' may hereafter be able to take part in elections. TRUST CASES COMING. Decisions About to Be Handed Down By Court. Washington—What cases will be i passed upon by the supreme court of the t'mied States when it reeon | venes Monday after a recess of two weeks, no one outside of the court assumes to know. That the number . of decisions handed down will be large is generally believed, and many l»ersons think they will Include the : dissolution suits brought by the gov I eminent against the Standard Oil and Tobacco corporations. General Tariff Legislation. Washington —There will be general tariff legislation at the extra session j of the Sixty -second congress which meets Tuesday. That was settleo at ! the democratic caucus.

The troubles of the Lancaster coun ty delegation were aired at length be fore the house in discussion over the Lincoln charter bill, introduced by Eager. It was a case of Eager against the rest of the delegation and he won s out. The chief bone of contention was ( over a proposed change in the date o! 1 the spring election. Eager's bill pro vides for setting this date ahead to permit the men in the Russian colony '.c rote befcrt they leave far their . summer's work in the beet fields. This has back of it the old '-wet-' and "dry fight in Lincoln, the Russians being supposed to favor the 'wet' policy for The city. Had Up-Hill Work. Numerous efforts were made to get bills advanced in the house without the intervention of the sifting commit i tee. Most of them were uniformly unsuccessful. Representative Quack enbu&h made a hard fight to have brought out the bill providing for a ; levy of a quarter of a mill for support : of the state normal schools. He even had a special meeting of the sifting committee called, but could not get the bill through this. An efTort was made to bring ouT1 the McKelvie bill appropriating $£5,000 for a state pub licity bureau, but this failed. --- Non-partisan Board. A final effort will be made to set 1 through the house the Matrau non-par tisan board of control bill, a measure which, it is believed, answers more ■ specifically the platform pledges of both democratic and republican par 1 ties than any of the others cow pend | ing. As a step toward this effort, the i vote, defeating the bill, was reconsid ered and the bill was amended in com mittee of the whole to remove an ob jectionable feature. It has been again placed on the third reading calendar — To Adjourn April 4. Members of the legislature awoke | to the fact that they must do a prodi gious amount of work in a short time ! or remain in session for a consider ably longer period than is agreeable to most of them. This realization came with the report of the joint com mittee on adjournment. The committee agreed to an ad journment April 4. which will give two more weeks of work. This would probably mean actual adjournment about April T or 8. The house again defeated an at ; tempt to kill the university medical school bill. Nearly an hour was spent in controversy over parliamentary pro cedure. The dispute revolved about the question of the right of the house to correct the Journal of yesterday to make it include the belated Ellis mo ! tion. seeking to reconsider the medical school bill. Responding to the senate's invita tion to take up the subject of adjourn ment. Speaker Kuhl has appointed i Leidigh. Fuller and Xeir as members i of the joint committee to fix the time . for adjournment. L - Another Hotel BWl by Sink.

The bill was introduced by Bulla. It pro vides for a state commission to have general supervision over the sanitary 1 arrangements of hotels. 10 FIGHTJOM ATTORNEY GENERAL'S EFFORTS TO CIRCUMVENT TRUSTS. ASK CONGRESS FOR A LAW Big Organizations Seem Able to Dodge the Government in Their Transactions. Washington.—A new weapon is be ing forged out of the government’s experience in dealing with monopo lies of trade and combinations of cap ital. which it was learned Thursday Attorney General Wickersham hopes to present to congress in the hope that it will be incorporated into law lust what shape this proposed legis lation will take has not been made Known. Combinations of all kinds, through processes of reorganization, have man aged to keep just a step ahead of fed ?ra! prosecutions and in many cases the work of the department of Jus tice. therefore, has not always been as completely * effective as was de tired. With a view to meeting the prob lems as it exists and as it promises to develop, the attorney general with in the next few months may take the most important steps toward regula tion of combinations and monopolies since the passage of the Sherman law Several instances of alleged com oinations which the Department of Tustice so far has been powerless to attack because there was no law ap plicable to them, have been brought to the attention of the attorney gen eral. Prominent among them is the “money trust” in New York. It was pointed out that where a year ago the great financial interests of New York commonly were classified into three groups, they now are popularly .known as one. The New York Clearing House as sociation recently had unofficial noti fication that Attorney General Wick ersham s attention had been called to its methods of business. The associa tion engaged James H. Beck, a form er assistant attorney general, and other New York attorneys to present an informal statement of its methods to the Department of Justice. When all was finished, the attorneys under' stood, tacitly at least, that there was apparently nothing in the business of the New York Clearing House assfr ciation which could be construed as coming under any of the laws now on the statute books. Practically the same thing took place with the New Orleans association last winter. Nevertheless, the Department ol Justice regards with some concern the concentration of banking capital In New York.

Y.—The work of rehab ilitating ihe fire-swept state capitol begun while the flames were still crackling in the western wing, was continued Thursday with increasing rigor.

Friday the leg islative leaders are expected to con fer with Governor Dix and State Ar ehitect Ware ergarding the approprl a tion necessary. A SENATOR AT LAST JUDGE O'GORMAN CHOSEN BY A VOTE OF 112. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS SELECTS Wild Applause Marks End of Struggle and Legislature Adjourns to April 17. Albany. X. Y.—Supreme Court Jus tice James Aloysios O'Gorman, demo crat at Xew York City, was elected United States senator Friday night by the legislature after the most pro tracted struggle over this position ever held in the Empire state. On the final ballot, the sity-fourtxh. he re ceived 112 votes to SO cast for Chaun cey M Depew. whose term expired March 4. At the close of a day of almost con tinuous negotiations, the insurgents capitulated and Justice O'Gorman was elected. A few minutes before the bal lot was cast Justice O'Gorman's resig nation from the bench was filed at the office of the secretary of state, as a constitutional provision would have prevented his election while holding the office of justice of the supreme court. Wild applause marked the end of the long contest and the legislature, driven from the state capitol by Wed nesday's fire, quickly adopted a reso lution adjourning until April 17. Governor Dix expressed gratification at the result. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, who for weeks has been striving to bring about the election of Mr. Sheehan, ex pressed himself as highly pleased at the outcome. i nursaay mgnt it was unaerstooa a senator would be selected Friday from a list of eleven submitted by the insurgents. Early in the morn ing Mr. Murphy came to Albany .and instantly reports spread that Justice O'Gorman had been selected as the choice of the democratic organiaztion. The insurgents, who had about made up their minds to enter the caucus on the assurance that no names would be submitted outside of their list of eleven, balked at this changed program. They failed to appear at the morning caucus and a postponement" wag nnti 3 in the afternoon. Meantime a committee representing the regulars was arguing with the insurgents who were in conference at the residence of their leader.
