MEASURE COMES UP TUESDAY Possibility Vote Slay Be Reached End of that Day Postal Sav ins Bank Bill Also Tied lip. I WA81HNGTON, May SO. The plana of republlcanleaders in congress have gone awry so many times In the last several weeks that they are chary of announcing any program for the remaining days of tho present session or of speculating on how long that period is likely to be. In the senate the men In charge of the "railroad bill would have staked their repu tations upon the certainty that there would be a final voto upon it before the end of last week. In the house the republican cau cus continued for three nights In succes sion for the purpose of perfecting the postal savings bank bill, but an agreement was not reached and one Is not in sight. The caucus will be resumed next Wednesday night. The situation In connection with tho rail road was complicated by the introduction ot an amendment relating to mergers of rail roads which was offered by Senator Brown of Nebraska, just before the adjournment on Friday. The provision contains all of the prohibitive features of the original section 13, and none of the advantages for the railroads contained In tho section struck out. So involved did the situation become that the leaders hastily adjourned the session expecting to resume consider ation of the bill yesterday, but tha speech ot Senator Lorlmer prevented. The sena tors in charge of the bill do not want the Brown amendment, but it may be difficult for them to defeat It. It Is not likely that it will result in the leaders making further concessions to the Insurgents. The railroad bill will be taken up again by the senate on Tuesday and the final vote may be had on that day, although there Is no certainty about It. There is a contest between advocates ot statehood and conservation measures as to what class of legislation shall next be con sidered.

In Omaha Friday afternoon. A number of young people attended a put the statehood bill through at this ses sion. They think that the differences be tween the senate and house bills are Ir reconcilable and that It would bo a waste ot time to send the measure to conference. About the only supporters of Immediate statehood in the senate are on the demo cratic side, and they want the house bill passed, as that would mean statehood for Arizona and New Mexico In time for the fall elections, and they think It would mean four additional democratic senators. The senate bill, which Is favored by re publican senators, would merely authorise the territories to take the preliminary steps and would not make it possi ble for them to be admitted to the union of states until congress had approved their proposed constitutions. Even it the postal savings bank bill should pass the nouse and successfully emerge from the conference, It is believed that It would be a long time before any postal banks could be established under Its provision. The sundry civil bill doc not contain an appropriation to put the postal banks in force, and some of the bouse leader are responsible for a report that this legislation will be Ignored In the gen eral deficiency bill. mm mmmm,. 1 - Zanrmd Cvrywhmrm the Suburbs of Propose to Do Entertainingly Set Down by the Ar Interested in the Doings of Their Fellows. dar.ee given by Miss May Onfces at her home near Brings Saturday evvnlns.
