CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Dee. 28. Sena
tors nnd representatives were return
ing to Washington today from their
holiday recess for the reassembling
of congress tomorrow. With tbeir
resemblances of activity began to ap
pear on both sides of the capital and
the democratic lenders were still, de
termined to expedite the passage of
nil necessary legNlntiun, so ns to
avoid nn extra -ossion after March 1.
Practically nil of the real work of
the session is yet to be aeeompli-hcd.
On the house side, rapid progress has
begun to be made in clearing up ap
propriation bills tmd a few general
measures, but in the senate, in addi
tion to the supply measure, the entire
administration legislative program
remains to he disposed of. There the
immigration bill is the unfinished
business with prospects of a contin
uation of the fight ngninst the mcn
uro because of the literary lct pro
vision. President Wilson is opposed lo the
literacy test and Senator Lewis of
Illinois lias announced his intention
to offer nn nmendment to Mriko out
the provision altogether. Democratic
and republican senators alike who
favor the measure believe that if
such an nmendment were ndop eij it
would cause the defeat of the bill.

constitutional nmendment to the stale
leuislatures within the next few days.
Vigorous cffoits have been made by

FULLY EXPLAINED
WASHINGTON. Dee. 28. - AddW
tioual icpotts to the Hritrdi embassy
today from tho Hiitish, minister at
Panama clarify Gic silnntimi as lo
the use of wiieless by Mrilish colliers
iu canal zone waters.
In reganl to the alleged nation! ml
use of witclcxH recently, il is said the
Hritish collier Piotesilaus, while iu
the cnnnl waters, received a radio
message from outside the three-mile
limit. Tho colliei's captain did not
luideilakc to reply to the message,
which was directed to tho UrilWh
consul at Panama, but endeavored to
forward it to the consul throitjh tin'
American poit captain. The latter
official icfused to transmit the mes
sage ami caused the wireless appa
ratus of the Protcsilaus lo be scaled
until she dcpaitcd fiom the zone.
It appealed that the captain oT the
Protcsilaus had not received official
information of the new icgulations
prohibiting tho use of radio outfits in
the canal, except upon canal business,
but notwithstanding that the lliilish
autlunities concede the attempt to
use the wireless was improper ami
I lie re fore the incident was regaided
as closed by icport of the I'iioIm to
day to the state and uuvy denail
incuts. One immediaje losult of the inci
dent was to send American naval cs
sets to the canal zone to safeguard
neutrality.
