Washington, D. C.— Congress settled down Saturday to await developments in the submarine controversy between the United States and Germany with an overwhelm ing m ajority o f both houses apparently definietly deter mined to take no action which might embarrass the administration in the present stage o f diplomatic negotia tions a fe w o f the more ardent advo cates o f legislation to keep Amreicans off armed ships continued their activ ities, and ex-Secretary Bryan’ s sup port fo r them was shown in the form o f a telegram, but even most o f them admitted there was no propect o f im mediate action. So fa r as the adminsitration is concerned, it was said authoritatively that while any agitation o f the issue just now was undesirable, there was no disposition to oppose a vote on the pending armed-ship resolutions i f their sponsors tried to force one. I t was declared that reports from the capitol during the day showed con clusively that the senate and the house would stand behind President Wilson in his refusal to permit any abridge ment o f the rights o f American citi zens on the seas, as outlined in his let ter to Senator Stone. The President reiterated his state ments in that letter to Speaker Clark, M ajority Leader K itchin and Repre sentative Flood, chairman o f the house foreign affairs committee, early in the day when they called at the W hite House to tell o f the situation on their side o f the capitol and hear the execu tiv e ’s views. There was plain speaking both by President Wilson and his callers. Mr. Wilson said plainly that his efforts to keep the country at peace were likely to be hindered by impressions sent abroad by congress, and the congress men were equally frank in g ivin g notice that a strong sentiment existed at the capitol against risking the pos sib ility o f war by perm itting Am eri cans to travel on armed belligerent ships, whatever m ight be their rights under international law. Although wholly different reports came from other sources during the day, Speaker Clark declared he be lieved a resolution to warn citizens off armed vessels would carry in the house by two to one i f it reached a vote. The house delegation went back to the capitol with word that the Presi dent stood unalterably by his position. There the situation rests, and while there probably w ill be many more con ferences and possibly some speeches, the generally accepted opinion is that no further serious effort to bring about action w ill be made, unless develop ments occur to make a rupture o f re lations w ith Germany imminent. Pekin Admits Rebels Defeated Government Troops at Sze-Chuen Pekin— Official acknowledgement o f the defeat o f government troops by the Yunnan rebels on the Sze-Chuen border was withheld until Saturday, when the State department issued a mandate denouncing Tai Ao, in which admisssion is made that the revolu tionists surprised the regular army and defeated a small garrison. Information received in Pekin from non-Chinese sources shows that the Yunnanese, who descended on the city o f Suifu and captured it, numbered about 10,000. The government gar rison at Suifu numbered about 4000, but these troops le ft for the north sev eral days before the arrival o f the Yunnanese and consequently there was no resistance to the entrance o f the latter.

C.— The object of the building policy formulated in 1913 by the Navy General Board, it was dis- closed Wednesday before the house na val committee, was to keep the United States ahead o f Germany in the race for naval supremacy. The statement was made by Rear Adm iral Charles J. Badger, a member o f the general board, who explained that the policy had contemplated a fleet o f 48 first-line battleships by 1919 to accomplish its purpose. The statement did not go into the record o f the hearing and Admiral Badger did not am plify it to show why the board had thought such a course necessary. The admiral was replying to a sug gestion that the object o f the old pol icy, abandoned this year by the board for the first time, was to keep the Am eriran'navy in second place.

This year the board fixed as its pol icy the creation by 1925 o f a fleet equal to the moBt powerful afloat at that time, he said. The committee did not go into the board’s reasons for changing its ideas beyond drawing out the explanation that the board believed a fleet 10 per cent superior to any fighting force that might be brought against it would be necessary to in sure against the invasion o f American soil by an enemy. Under questioning by Representative K elly, Admiral Badger said the con struction o f three additional dread- naughts and eigh t battle cruisers would place the navy on a par with the capital ships o f the German fleet to day. Germany now has 22 dread- naughts and eigh t battle cruisers, he said, according to the liest available information, while the United States has all told 19 ships o f the dreadnaught class, built or building. To equal Great B ritain’ s fleet within two years. Admiral Badger said, the United States would be obliged to have a total force o f 40 dreadnaughts, 15 battle cruisers, 26 s w ift scouting craft, 200 submarines and 250 destroyers. He was not favoring such a program, but m erely answering questions by Representative Butler. Such a fleet could not be built in two years, he added, though it m ight lie constructed in four.

Wool Growers Find Good Market by Shipping to Portland Portland W ith wool contracting for the 1916 clip just starting in the East ern counties, the last remnant o f the 1915 clip is being sold here. The Portland Wool Warehouse company has not over 40,000 pounds in its ware house on Municipal Dock No. 1, and that is all the wool that is le ft in Port land. The bulk o f these wools were sold at from 21 cents to 224 cents for fine and 26 to 30 cents for coarse wool, according to condition and shrinkage. ‘ ‘ The prices realized,” said W . L. Crowe, manager o f the company, "a r e from 3 cents to 6 cent* better than were offered in the country for the same wools. The growers are more than satisfied with their ex;>eriment o f sending their wools here to be mar keted, and it is safe to say a much larger quantity w ill tie sent here dur ing the coming season. “ We have sold wool to about 17 d if ferent customers, a dozen o f whom never o[>erated in this section before. We have had inquiries from a dozen other big Eastern mills, and although we did not close deals with them we are looking forward to their trade in new wools. “ Our object is to improve the condi tion o f the woolgrowers and put them all on an equal basis. By avail ing him self o f cheap money, which he could never do before, the grower is enabled to hold his wool until he is ready to sell. A ll the wool consigned here is sold only with the approval o f the growers. It is different when the wool is consigned to the East, for it then gets beyond the owner's control.” Potato Shipments 600 Cars. Portland — Up to the present time about 600 cars o f potatoes have been shipped from Oregon, and the indica tions are the total shipments fo r the season w ill not exceed 1000 cars. N or mal shipments from the state are about 1500 cars a year. “ There are between 400 and 500 cars o f potatoes le ft unsold,” said Mc Kinley Mitchell, ‘ ‘ ami these w ill all clean up at some price.
