WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Today!
the administration forcese are free;
to admit that the passage, of the go*'-j
eminent ship purchase bill at this I
session of Congress is a matter ofj
grave doubt. Although they may at|
this time be able to summon just I
enough votes, with that of Vice;
President Marshal, to carry the. mea.:-1
ure, unless more recruits are secured
absentees or illness may make it ex-;
tremely difficult to secure sufficient
votes at some later period. Yester-j
day afternoon the Democrats sue- j
action on the measure. The oppon
ents declare that they will keep up
the fight against the. bill until the|
end of the session. They ■ plan to j
talk. talk, and talk, until March 4th.!
and thus prevent a vote from being
taken. In line with thffi agreement;
Senator Wesley Jones of Washing-1
ton state started in early last night
, and at, 6 o’clock this morning he was
still hammering away when a short;
recess was taken. In the meantime:
all other business is he.ld up in the’
Senate and there is beginning to be
considerable worriment upon the|
part of the• administration over the!
. fate of the various appropriation
bills.

him a body blow.
