AGAI
IN CONGRESS
Democrats Plan to Resort to
Special Rules Today to
Force Action. '
DEBATE TO BE LIMITED
Majority I'arly in House Charges
i:r publicans 'With Filibuster
to Block Legislative Pro
gramme on All Points.
XV ASHING TON. April 24. Aroused
by Minority Leader Marin's success on
two onajions today in keepinsc the
Army bill an amended by the Senate
from goin? to conference, Hou.se Demo
cratic leaders declared tonight that
without further delay they would force
their legislative programme through
with the aid of special rules.
A rule to discharge the military com
mittee from further consideration of
the Arnny bill and to permit the
Spaker to appoint House conferees
after debate on one motion to recom
mit, will be reported by the rules com
mittee tomorrow. Majority members
of the committee will suggest an hour's
debate on the motion, but if this is not
Hcrreeable to the Republican minority
debate will be limited to 20 minutes on
each side.
Kollowing disposal of the agricul
tural appropriation measure, the Dem
ocrats also decided today the Philip
pine, Porto Iiican and shipping bills
will be brought up for passage in the
order named.
This course was agreed upon, despite
the protests of Republicans that some
preparedness or appropriation meas
ures should receive immediate consid
eration. Drastic rules to provide for
limited debate will accompany all of
these three Admlnisttration measures
with the view of having them enacted
into law before the Conventions if pos
sible. On the Philippine measure, for
instance, it now is planned to limit the
general debate to five hours.
Democrats were greatly disappointed
late this afternoon, when Speaker
:iark sustained a point of order raised
by Mr. Mann on a rule designed to send
the Army bill to conference without an
intervening motion. Mr. Manu main
tained that adoption of such a rule
would deny the minority the right of a
motion to recommit, to which it long
has been entitled. Immediately after
the Speaker's ruling. Representative
arrett. of Tennessee, sought to have
the rule that the committee will report
tomorrow adopted by unanimous con
sent, but again Mr. Mann objected,
-tiding the debate on the proposition
for today.
Earlier in the day. Mr. Mann had
prevented the bill from going to con
ference by objecting when unanimous
consent was asked by Chairman Hay.
of the military committee, A meeting
of the rules committee was called
hastily and the rule which was later
rejected, reported
Mr. Mann's objections to the hill are
not believed to be connected with the
filibuster." which. Democrats charge,
the Republicans are conducting for the
purpose of delaying consideration of
the Adminstration legislative programme.

foreigners recently approached leaders
of the Southern party, asking guaran
tees for the safety and property of
Yuan Shi Kai and his supporters if the

Kai and his coterie of private advisers
for high treason and also that they
render account of public funds, alleged

the Cabinet, the new Premier said:
"China now has a responsible Cabi
net and Premier. Full power lies in
their hands, not in those of the Presi
dent. The Cabinet will move outside
the palace grounds and only matters
of the greatest Importance will be re
ferred to the President for discussion.
"The military hereafter will be tinder

that it was not good for the country
to have the army solely under the
President. In event of a declaration
of war. the President will' act on the
advice of the Cabinet. The state coun

published by him in Berli l he declared
that England would, in the event of
victory over Germany, make of Ger
many another Ireland. An excerpt
from this statement follows:
"Even as the Irish has been maligned,
oppressed, insulted and exposed to gen
eral contempt, even so would the Ger
man people be attacked, even so, . in
fact, are they being attacked in every
quarter of the globe where the English
lies can penetrate and spread their as
phyxiating gases. -A common foe, a
common' enmity, should create a com
mon Interest and a fixed policy. Hith

stood the Irish situation and has missed
doubtless for her honorable good will
for England many opportunities to
better her position in this direction."

$50,000 for alleged libel was Hied today
against the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight
llillis, pastor of Plymouth Church of
Brooklyn, by the clergyman's nephew.

turning- over some of his earnings to
assist in liquidating- debts alleged to
have been contracted by two nephews
the plaintiff and Percy D. Hillis.
A similar action filed some ttme ago

court, an arbitrator finding in favor of
the nephew and ordering a financial
settlement by Dr. Hillis of about J4000.

in the Supreme Court by Frank L.
Ferguson, formerly associated with the
clergyman in a business capacity.
