SHIPPING BILL SEEMS LOST (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-(FpeclaI Tele gram.) Congressman Dan Stephens of Fremont missed the hour he expected to address the house in opposition to a joint resolution pending before It proposing an embargo on arms and ammunition des tined for the belligerents now at wsr In Europe by twenty-four hours. Mr. Steph ens had expected to speak yesterday, but when he reached the house he found th order of business called for "unanimous consent day," and accordingly tie could not command the attention of the body of which he Is a member until after 3 o'clock today, when the navy bill held the right-of-way. Having been given ten minutes with "leave to print the rest of the speech." Mr. Stephens took occasion to state that he waa a full-blooded German by descent on his own account, and that on the ac count of his wife there were several first cousins, natives cf Germany by naturalised parents who are now fighting In the kaiser's army, If they have not already given their lives for their coun try. Will Not Favor It. It was Mr. Stephens' contention that if It were wrong to sell arms to bellig erent nations now It was wrong to sell arms and ammunition to them in times ot peace, when they were preparing; for war, and he had no psrt in tho resolu tion that would stop the United Btstes from selling arms to belligerents while the same people who ar now agitating the question are aiding and abetting their own nation In maintaining a rea sonable army and navy "against the day we may want to begin the slaughter of the Innocents on our own account." Mr. Btephens stated that he had re ceived many letters from correspondents In his district urging htm to support the Joint resolution prohibiting the shipment ot arms or ammunition to belligerent na tions from the United States, but the more he had examined the question the more he Was convinced that It would be the height of folly to pass such a resolu tion and he would not stultify himself by supporting It. Kfclplag( Bill In Bad. Tere seems to be no hope for the ad ministration's shipping bill. If the .dem ocratic caucus accepts the amendments proposed by BenatorNorrls and supported by Senators Kenyon, Polndexter and La Follette, then, according to one of the democratic leaders, there .will be enough democratic defections to defeat the measure. In other words, th difficulty for the bll! rests In Its compromises. Senator Hitchcock, who will go envn into history as one of the seven demo crats senators standing against the ad ministration's pet measure to create a merchant matins by the purchase of In terned vessels of ft belligerent, wanta his bill to prohibit the salo ot arms and ammunition to belligerents made a part of the measure. He also Insists, but not as "powerfully," that there should be provision made that vessels be lesaed to private parties on public bidding, subject to government regulations as to routes Gerlas Mem 1st Capital, and rates.
