Former Speaker Cannon was called to the chair and the clocks were turned back a few minutes. After an all nighl filibuster Senator Sherman announced shortly after o'clock that "unless he dropped dead the general deficiency bill carrying 000,000 for the railroads would not pass. If Sherman 'and other Re publicans carry this threat, it nieajis that not only will all pending appropriation measures fail, but several important nominations must go unacted on.

These include A Palmer for Attorney General. John Skelton Williams, as Comptroller of the Current and General Robert. E. Noble, as a Brigadier General in the Medical Corps.

When Speaker Champ Clark, ac tne House, learned of the Senate situation, he said that unless the railroad appropriation is approved today an ixtra session must be called tomorrow. This is imperative, Clark declared, if nnaneial disaster to be aeied.

At nour, it stems a practical certainty that every measure except ing th loan bil! aakud by President Wilson will.be fl unpossed when the session ends at noon. These measures Tile annjsiimvy.
