Under the orlKlnal order In the In-

ermlnal. Kat of the river the
trlngcucy of the rule was somewhat

In addlilon to this lesson through

situation in the fight over, the admin
istration ship hill iimlcrv.'?ut n new
complete vintage todnv tis the result
of conlVrciicp.s between President
WiNun and congress leaders.
It was determined to relax tho
fight in the senate, thus suspending
the historic filibuster, while the inl
Mirtnut appropriation bills are
passed.
Meanwhile Semi lor UoreV substi
tute for the administration hill will
he introduced in Hip house ni mn
iiniemhucnt to Weeks' hill, another
ship measure which already ha
passed the senate. Fnder n,specinl
rule it would ho iiorfocteil to meet the
views of the uiuiiimstrntion arid then
he presented to Hie senate fur action
us a new proKsition.
.Present Mill Dead
The present hill over which the lou
tight has ensued would he allowed to
die in committee.
When the new lull co'mesTTVcr from
the house, if Hie tight in the senate
is renewed iimiii it, I'rsiilnt WiNon
will decide whether to call un extra
session of congress for consideration
of the ship hill nlonc. I lis advisors
in emigres today were giving him ad
vice in both directions. At the white
house tin president's determination to
pass the hill was reiterated und it
was saitl a decision a's to on extra

congress.
In the house tentative r.rrango
ments were made to take up the .ship
bill immediately after passage of tho
pending sundry civil hill. It was ex
pected the ship hill could bo put
through next week.
Plan tif 'juiiHtl;jii
As the situation developed ut thu

relax the fisrlit in the senate while tho
Goro substitute was being attached
as an amendment to the Weeks hill in
the lioup. mul uiennwhilo some ap
propriating bills would be disposed o
in tho senate. The plali seeis'il U
forecast surely mi extrn session.
Definitely that the president will
Insist on tho passage of tho shipping
bill even If an extra session Is neces
sary.
In administration circles It was
reiterated that the hope had not born
given up of passing the Roro substi

was considered significant however,
.hat Mr. Kltchln, who '. to be the
