There are some expressions of dissatisfaction, particularly among members of the house. Surprise is expressed that the president should appeal to the rules committee to have brought out, debated and voted on the proposals which have been kept in the foreign committee solely because it was believed the administration did not want them discussed. Action in both houses will probably be taken tomorrow. The president's letter said: "The report that there are divided coun sels in congress regarding the gov ernment's foreign policy is being mtde industrious use of in foreign capitals. J believe the reports are false, but so lonp as it. la nnvwtium credited, it cannot fail to do the I greatest harm and expose the coun try to more serious risks.
