Immediate reconsideration of the immigration bill, passed over the president's veto by the house last night, was blocked in the senate today by Senator Reed of Mis- Austria. From the official refusal to affirm or deny that any message had gone forward to Ambassador Gerard, an impression grew that some such message had been sent but it was thought at most a message to outline first preliminary statement of the American viewpoint without definitely committing the country till a final decision has been reached.

The Country Waiting It was pointed out to officials that the country was waiting for some statement, or at least an official interpretation of the attitude of the administration. Officials declined, however, to express themselves in this way or to say whether the situation was becoming more or less serious. While yesterday it was said flatly that no announcement would be made for the rest of the day, officials refused today to commit themselves to a similar announcement.

Awaiting Government Orders Agents of Dutch and Danish steamers have discontinued sailings while awaiting orders from their govern-ernments. Cable advices received here say that the Dutch government has provisionally forbidden the sailing of all vessels from Holland and that Denmark has suggested that ship owners do not permit their ships to leave port without first consulting the government. Extra Guards at Harbor Posts Army officers commanding the frts that guard New York harbor have detailed extra guards to the most important batteries and stationed additional sentinels to patrol the waterfront and the country inland for some distance from the fortifications.

Trying to Save Goods Kmployes of the gas company scattered through the neighborhood to gua-(t against possible other leaks and added to the alarm felt in the district. For this reason many whose homes briefer title "Reservists" has won much notice since the king and Venizelos have been wrangling over the internal and external affairs of Greece. The cabinet is said to have been strongly opposed to the revival of the obsolete custom of "anathema" in the case of Venizelos, and the opponents of the rite asserted in the newspapers that "only harm can result to the king's cause from this uncouth pcice of political savagery, owing to the painful impression which it will produce upon the. civilized "Jut the Reservsts would not hear of the abandonment of the idea, and insisted not only on the civil and military, but also on the ecclesiastical authorities attending the ceremony.
