which Is to be used ns ono of the

Senator Ilurton took tho floor for n

Its lines firm until tho administration
comromlra took a thoroughly definite
form. Senator Weeks, author of the

President Wilson has definitely ap

The provision Is chlofly responsible
for the senato republican filibuster.
Chairman Padgett of tho naval

consideration of the administration
proposal and arrangements were
made for a caucus of house demo
crats Monday night to bind tho ma
jority to support It.
The rule would discharge the com
mltteo from further consideration of
the Weeks naval auxiliary bill, take
In the (Sore bill and tho other amend
meats as outlined by tho administra
tion, cut off all other amendments
and allow six hours of general de
