BAN I riANCISCO, May 28. (Spe
cial.) The party of United StatOB Sen
ators and Representatives here toiiay
on their return from Honolulu were
shocked over the Nebraakan Incident.
Members made the following: comment:
Ollio James, United States Senator
from Kentucky This Is an act of war.
if any foreign nation has torpedoed an
American vessel, knowing It to be
Bui'h, it amounts to a declaration 01
war, art act of war, on their part. How
ever, in this case we should withhold
judsment.
1'. K. Warren, United State3 Sena
tor from Wyoming Ucnnany has laid
herself liable to the orst that can
happen if a fierman submarine tor
pedoed the Nebraskan. Only the blt
terent action can follow from the
United States if the situation, is as re
ported. U S. Overman, Unltd States Sena
tor from North Carolina The attack
on the Nebraskan may mean the call
ing of an extra session of Congress,
while it undoubtedly adds a new com
plexion to the German situation. I do
not believe that it is my duty to com
ment at this time.
I'umnlM withhold Opinio.
A. H. Cummins. United States Senator
from Iowa 1 regret very much that
Germany has had to resort to such
means of warfare. As a United States
iSenator, however, I can express no
opinion.
D. R. Anthony, Representative from
Kansas If, In view of President Wil
son's notes and communications to Ger
many, his vigorous protests asainst
submarine warfare and his warning
that Germany should be held to "strict
accountability." Germany has repeated
.such an outrage, there is only one thing
short of declaring war that can be
done seize every Uerman ship interned
or held in American ports and hold
them until suitable reparation is made
by the German government.
Carter Olass, Representative from
Vlruinla The torpedoing of the Ne
braskan is a daring challenge to the
United States, if it is the act of a
German, submarine that has been in
touch with and under orders from
Berlin.
Q. W. Fairchild, Representative from
New York This torpedoing of an
American vessel will undoubtedly
arouse the American people and com
plicate the international situation more
than ever before. I would urge that
wc. be calm.
Cannon Keep Silent.,
Joseph G. Cannon, ex-Speaker of the
House As a member ,of Congress I
do not care to make any statement.
1 do not care to ' say anything that
might tend to embarrass the Presi
dent. James R- Mann. Representative from
Illinois The torpedoing of the Ne
braskan should result in nothing seri
ous. This incident should not precipi
tate a. conflict.
W. B. McKinley, Represent ave
from Illinois I ant sure that if the
Germans have done such a thing It
has been done by mistake and without
the sanction of the Kaiser's govern
ment. I cannot believe that such an
action could have been deliberate."
A. J. Barchfeld. Representative from
Pennsylvania Germany is not trying
to involve the United States in war.
We are at peace and we will remain
at peace. Our. duty is to let others set
tle this unholy strife. War is not a
pink tea and all of us must suffer to
a certain extent as a result.
t amplications Are Feared.
James S. Davenport, Representative
from Oklahoma 1 fear thai the sink
ing of the Nebraskan may result in
serious complications. I believe in
peace so far as it is possible, but not
too far. The repetition of the torpedo
ing by the Germans looks at first as
though Germany were trying to pro
voke this country to war. I would re
gret to believe this, however.
W. A. Cullop, Representative from
Indiana I can .say nothing outside of
expressing my sincere regret at this
occurrence. Being unfamiliar with the
details, I cannot say off-hand what
complications may result and I shall
anxiously await further news on the
subject.

American-Hawaiian Service Inaug
urated Here by Wrecked Vessel.
Probably the Nebraskan is the best
known of American-Hawaiian ships at
Portland, because with the Nevadan
her sister ship, she inaugurated the first
sprvice from this harbor, and later they
were joined by the liners Isthmian ana
Lyra. Her last voyage to Portland was
October 21. 1914, and since she has been
engaged in the trans-Atlantic trade.
On her last voyage she was in com
mand of Captain Knight, who wrote
C. 13. Kennedy. Portland agent of the
fleet, from London that he expected to
be ordered to Rotterdam for a return
cargo. The Nebraskan was built at
Camden. N. J., in 1903, the same year
and the same place as the Nevadan, and
is 4408 tons gross with a length of 360
feet, beam of 46.3 feet and depth of
hold of 24.6 feet. Each has 3000-horse-power.
The Nevadan is due here June
6 with New York cargo.

Disputed Isauea Will Be
Made Without Delay.
WASHINGTON, May 26. Satisfied
that Justice finally will be accorded
them by Great Britain, representatives
of Chicago packers today resolved for
the present to leave their interests in
detained cargoes of meat products in
the hands of British Embassy officials.
They left tonight for the West.
A tentative basis or settlement ior
shipments held up by the British fleet,
valued at more tnan io,uuu,uuu, nas
been framed and cabled to London.
Word as to whether the arrangement
Is approved by the British government
is expected soon and m tne meantime
the terms will have been made pub
lic.
..One of the difficulties was tempo
rarily cleared up today, when Ambassa
dor Page at London cabled the State
Department that Sir Edward Grey had
given assurances that the cases of four
ships and cargoes held up since last
Fall before the issuance of the order
in council, would go to trial in the
prize court. June.7..twithout further de
lay. The proposed agreement now be
ing-considered would settle the cases
of 27 other ships and cargoes detained
under the order in council.

than a month ago the packers stopped
shipments to Scandinavian neutral
ports of products similar to those de
tained by the British authorities on
the suspicion that they were destined
ultimately for Germany or Austria.
This action, it was declared, was taken
as an evidence of good faith.
