Senate's Programme Regard

of Session.
PHILIPPINE BILL DOOMED
l?orakcr Amendment to Statehood
Sure to Pass Dominican Treaty
Will Be defeated Congress
Will Adjourn hy May.
WASHINGTON. March 1. That the
railroad rate bill will be paseed by tho
Senate practically as It came from the
House is an admission that opponents of
the measure are almost ready to make.
It was said today that they cannot hope
for any assistance from tho -President in
getting an amendment for Jodlcial review
of orders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The President made this
elcar to "Senator Spooncr today. The only
hope loft to the opponents is in the Demo
crats. They have not determined what
the party position will be toward such an
amendment, but it Is admitted that more
tin half of the minority favor passing
the bill exactly as it came from the
House.
Three Blp: Measures All Dead.
The railroad rate bill for several days
has been regarded as the one measure
Handing In the way of an early adjourn
ment of Congress. One of the leading Re
publican Senators, a member of the steer
ing committee, declared today that the
"Philippine tariff bill, the statehood bill
and the Santo Domingo treaty arc all
dond." He qualified his statement con
corning th" statehood bill by saying that
he mount that the friends of the bill could
t pass it without the Foraker amend
ment providing for submission to the
votes of the people of New Mexico and
Arizona separately the question whether
they would have joint Matchood. A poll
of the Senate showed that, if voted upon
aew. the Foraker amendment would win,
S to 40. providing the entire vote of the
Senate was cast.
No Hope Tor Philippines.
A vote on the Philippine tariff bill in
committee is scheduled for tomorrow. A
basty poll of the Senate taken today in
dicator that, if brought to a vote, tho
Mil will be defeated by a much larger i
vote than was found for the Foraker
amendment to the statehood bill. In the
e'ont the bill is defeated in tho commit- 1
toe. the opponents have expressed the in- j
tention of making a motion In the Senate '
t have the committee discharged from I
further consideration of the mcasliro and
thus llnally dispose of it by a test vote
on such a motion.
Adjourn Before May.
Practically all of the Senate leaders
eencede that the Santo Domingo treaty
will be defeated, if brought to a vote,
and the plan favored Is to defeat the
treaty as early as possible and tnus avoid
continuous discussion of It.
Under this general programme outlined
by Senate Republican leaders, a great
amount of expected oratory would be
eliminated. The leaders say that Con
gress will adjourn early, and May 1 lias
been named as the latest probable date.
GILLETTE IS OUT OP ARMY I
Forfeits Commission by Takln
civil
Job, Then Kcsigns.
"WASHINGTON. March 1 A peculiar
situation has arisen in the Army as to
the cose of Major Cassiu3 Gillette,
Unitod States .Engineer, who Is now
superintendent of the Philadelphia ni
tration plant. According- to dispatches,
Major Gillette, who has for some
months past been acting- in the capacity
of an expert assisting In straightening
out the affairs of the nitration office,
yesterday accepted the office of Suner-
!. -r-.il . . I ..
iiiisiiutiu ui me riiuauuii iiureau. up
to that moment there was no question '
about his status, as he was simply an '
Army officer employed by the City of '
j'liuaueipnia unuer permission from
tho "War Department.
But. when he accepted office yester
day and took the oath as a civil officer,
he realized the point as to whether he
had brought himself within the provis
ions of section 1222, revised statutes,
which in substance cancels the com
mission of any Army officer on the
active list who accepts a civil office.
Today the officer's resignation was
received at the War Department. The
question whether an officer can re
sign an office which he has ceased to
hold or whether such a resignation can
be accepted is to be determined by the
President, for he alone is authorized to
accept a resignation of this kind. Sec
retary Taft will take it up with him
tomorrow.
