Democratic senators In caucus late today reached an agreement on the government shipping bill to 'upbuild the American merchant marine, ending one of the most ser'ous party divisions that has within the life. of the Wilson Differences which led to a democratic revolt at the lust session of congress 'and resulted in the failure of the Rhip purchase hill had threatened the pnd-'ng measure, earnestly advocated by President Wilson, with a like fate. Amendments submitted today, however. Irnn'd out all serious differences, and senators who had been fighting each other on the issue ohook hands, resolving to press the bill for passage at this session, no matter how long it may delay adjournment. Chang's proposed by the democrats of Ihe commerce commission and agreed to by the caucus do not alter the principle of the bill, which already has passed the house.

Changes Made. The chnnges Include th? following provisions: The government shall not purchase rny ship which flies the flog of a European nation waar, nor any ship already engazed In American trade unless It Is about to be withdrawn from thit trade. No ship shall be acquired by the government which is below 75 per cent, of Its original efficiency. The government shall not undertake to oprnte- ship unless all forts fail to negotiate satisfactory or sales to private corporations for that purpose, the government reserving the right, however, to prescribe conditions under which ships shall be operated and In what service they. shall engage Several democratic senators who were opposed to the bill as it cam" from the bouse, and whose support has been won over by today's action, rre Clarke, leader of the opposition; Pankhead, Vardaman.

The commerce commission was authorized to draft a provision providing for the entrv of government ships In coastwise trdae. The majority of democrats urged that government ships should be permitted to enter such trade.

In a sense the order may be regarded as a practical answer in advance to the note, which Is being prepared at the state department in reply to the lengthy memorandum from the Brit ish foreign office on the subject of re FRENCH READY TO SKIRMISHES ARE absoltlte discharge strictlons upon neutral trade.

The rainfall throughout Central Alabama since Thursday has been almost without precedent, and has been accompanied by small destructive tornadoes at various places, notably at Montgomery and Lowndeshoro, Ala. Today the' disturbance moved over Southwest Georgia with strong force, demolishing farmhouses, flooding small streams and causing heavy damage to railway property by washing out tracks and trestles. First reports from Pensacola, since Wednesday morning, today brought the news that the city passed through the hurricane without loss of life, though heavy damage was done to property alonj the water front and to shipping. Late, reports from all along the gulf coast, from New Orleans to Pensacola, tell of scores of small craft washed ashore. MEXICAN' LEADERS CONFER, REPEAL PREVIOUS ORDERS.

'The Teutonic resistance, which a week ago had not only stopped but was driving back the Russians along this front, apparently has been" notably weakened.

Berlin arid Vienna have reported an orderly retirement here, but Petrograd claims the capture of more than 2,000 prisoners, with numerous guns and stores of munitions, and mentions the sabering of numbers of Austrlans In a pursuit after a cavalry charge. The pressure against General Both-mer's army In Galicla also is being continued by the Russians, who report the capture of additional prisoners. The German report has little to say of the fighting in the Volhynian and Gallclan fields of operations. It reports, however, the repulse of Russian attacks on Field Marshal von Hindenburg's lines, south of Dvlnsk and the mowing down of masses of Russians in their futile efforts to break through the German lines north of Barovitchi, along the front from Zirin to below Gerodische. The hat-tie in this sector is still In progress.

Reserves Against British. There seems little 'doubt that the Germans have massed all their readily available reserves against the British in northern France and are making General Haig's forces pay dearly for whatever successes they win. Berlin does not concede the gains claimed by the British in their efforts to reduce the German salient centering upon Contallmaiaon, and declare enormous numbers of British dead were left on the ground before the Germans in this sector, after the fire from the Teutonic artillery and machine guns had torn into the masses of troops advancing to the attack. Similar heavy losses were suffered by the French in attacks along the Kiaches-Soyecourt front of their offensive movement, according to the German headquarters report. Heavy fighting continues north of Verdun, where the French are declared by Berlin to have suffered heavily In attempts to enrrv German positions on Froide Terre ridge.

FLOODS CAl'SING DAMAGE. Intention of Entente Allies to Recognize law of Nations Stated. London, July 8. In accordance with the recent decision of the British government to discontinue the partial enforcement of the declaration of London, which has reference to the eon-duct of naval warfare, an order In council was published today in the Ixindon Gazette, under which all orders made under the declaration of London since the beginning of the war are withdrawn.

The new order declares It to be the intention of Great Britain and her allies to exercise their belligerent rights at sea in strict accordance with the law of nations. On account of the changed conditions of commerce and the diversity of practice doubts might arise in certain matters as the rules the rules the allies rwlght regard as in conformity as the law of nations and it is ordered that the following provisions be observed: First The hostile destination required for the condemnation of contraband articles shall be presumed to exist until the contrary is shown If the goods are consigned to, or for an enemy authority or agent of an enemy state or to or for a person in the territory belonging to or occupied by the enemy, or to-cr for a person who during the present, hostilities has forwarded contraband goods to an enemy authority or agent of an enemy state or to or for a person in territory belonging or occupied by the enemy, or if the goods are consigned "to or if the ships' papers do not show who Is the real consignee of the goods.

It was admitted, however, that at Secretary Lansing's suggestion some plan for a conference would be concluded shortly.
