OKEGOyiAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30,"l912. THE JWUK3IJli CLARK f liS IMC FOR T III? ACTIOfi SHORT Speaker Says Congress Will Have Only 26 Days for General Legislation. PLANS ARE NOT DEFINITE JtrrrabLlcan. Senatorial Cane us to De termine Action on President Pro Tem to Ilave More Than Uraal Interest. WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. How to dis pose of one billion dollar' worth of an nual appropriation bills and transact all other general legislation In 28 days Is the problem worrying- Speaker Clark and his associate managers of the House of Representatives. Republican Leader Mann, Just back from Panama, dropped in today to greet the Speaker and discuss prospects for the three months' session. "We did not make any plans for the session," said Mr. Mann later with mild cynicism. "The truth is the Democrats, now they have come Into power; are afraid to do anythlnr important at this short session for fear it will put them on record for the future." Actual Worfclns: Days Few. Speaker Clark agreed that no plans for the future had been considered, but hs took a different view of the reasons why no general legislation of import ance is likely to be enacted at the Win ter session. "There are actually only about 28 free days for work on appropriation bills and general measures." said the Speaker. "There are 3 days in the session. Take out 13 Sundays, 14 for the Christmas holidays; 13 Mondays, which are devoted alternately to Dis trict of Columbia and pension legisla tion 12 Wednesdays, which are given by ironclad rule to bills on the regular calendar, and 13 Fridays, devoted al ternately to claims and private diu-i, and there are left but 26 unincumbered days for general work." Members Arriving- Rapidly. Senators and Representatives poured into Washington today from all direc tions. Senator OaUinger, the Republi can nominee for the office of President pro tempore of the Senate, is expected tomorrow and a Republican Senatorial caucus probably will be held soon after his arrival to determine whether the New Hampshire Senator shall be con tinued as the nominee or some one else chosen for the honor. Ia ease a caucus is held, there will be more interest in the personnel of its membership than in the .subject of discussion. Senator Dixon, of Montana, who was Colonel Roosevelt's manager, said to day that he did not contemplate par ticipating In another Republican cau cus and Senator Polndexter has an nounced publicly his withdrawal from the Republican party. Other "Pro aresslve" Senators have remained silent on this subject. PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE SCENE OF "WAR IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE.

Represen tative Underwood, Democratlo floor lraor of the House, when he begins tomorrow his conference with House associates over the plans for tariff re vision next Spring, will be met with a suggestion from Senate Democrats that the Senate have first hand chance at the framing of the tariff bills for the Wilson Administration.

Members of the ways ami means committee here have not gone on record thus far, but Chairman Under wood will be urged to make the Senate en Integral part of his tariff machine from the beginning of work on the bills for the special session. The origination of tariff bills be longs exclusively to the House, the Senate getting the measures only after the House has completed them. Demo cratic members of the Senate finance committee are urging that that body and the House ways and means com mittee be converted, informally into a Joint body and that the two house. work in harmony from the beginning of the tariff legislation next Summer.

Bagley, of the I'nlverslty of Illinois, believes that a man's selection of a wife plays an important part In his success or failure in his chosen vo cation. Speaking before the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers, Professor Bagley said today: "If a boy were consulting me about what occupation to take up, I would not make my Inquiry by applying physical or mental tests. I should ask him If he had selected a prospective partner for life's Joys and sorrows. 1 should then request a few minutes in terview with her."

A dispatch from Athens to a news agency says a message has been re ceived there from the Turkish Island of Chloas off the West Coast of Asia Minor, that the Oreeks have ocoupled a position at St. Marie, the Turks re tiring. "The government Is actively prepar ing for a poselble rupture of the peace negotiations and a resumption of hos tilities," says the Dally Telegraph's Constantinople correspondent. "The streets again are swarming with sol diers. The Lule Burgas veterans are preparing to return to the front, and the Redifs are marching to barracks to be provided with uniforms and equipment. The great square in front of the Ministry of War Is a veritable camp, where thousands of recrui:s are awaiting orders to march. Preparations -Not Peaceable. 'If hopes of peace are entertained there certainly nover have been more ardent preparatlens for war. Since Thursday the government has been ob serving such complete silence regarding the pour parleura that even the am bassadors are absolutely lacking in knowledge of their precise position. In any case, there is no indication that the Bulgarians have abandoned their principle for the surrender of Adrjanople. The government Journal Sabah declares that Adrlanople must not be an Ottoman Alsace-Lorraine. The article indicates great change in Turkish hopes by advising t"he Bulgar ians to content themselves with the acceptance of frontiers." A dispatch to a news agency from Vienna says a message received there late tonight from Belgrade declares the eltadel In Belgrade has been mined and It may be blown up on the entry of foreign troops. A majority of the trades people, of ficials and leading manufacturers of Belgrade, by government order, have removed to Nish and Leskovatz and others are prepared to leave the Servian capital.

The chances for a peaceable settlement of the Balkan crisis are increasing daily. Russian diplomacy, supported by that of France and Great Britain, expects to tide over the Auatro-Servian con fllct regarding Ui Adriatic port, and Edition is serious. to -drive a bargain with Austria and Italy based on recognition of Albanian autonomy In return for Austria giving Servia access to the sea. According to the views of Russian diplomats, a permanent sttlement ot the Balkan crisis is desirable to all the European powers. They are of the belief that there is no reason to make the Servian position economically un tenable. Whether a settlement of the controversy is achieved through a con ference or otherwise is of secondary Importance. The main object is peace, but not peace at any price. The most important task for diplomacy at pres ent is to hasten a .onclusion of the negotiations between Turkey and Bul garia It is said to be not Impossible that Russia may exert her good offices for peace, -either in the form of advice or pressure. It must be remembered that Turkey's left flank is entirely ex posed to the Caucasus, where Russia has concentrated large forces. Russia, however, does not desire to take any action that might compromise her good relations with Turkey in the future. Russia, it is said, does not want any Turkish territory, but desires only thn freedom of the Dardanelles for her Black Sea trade, wihlch represents three-fourths of her grain exports.
