VOTE STANDS 276 TO 142 President Decisively Wins His Long Fight to Have Congress Stand Be- hind Him in Negotiations With Ger- many Over Methods of Sea Warfare. Washington, March 8.President Wilson completely and decisively won his long and sensational fight to com pel congress to acknowledge that it stands behind him in the submarine negotiations with Germany. To the rallying cries of "Stand by the president" and "Is it Lansing and Wilson or von Bernstorff and the kai ser?" a big Democratic majority and nearly half of the Republicans in the house rolled up overwhelming votes against the movement to warn Ameri cans off the armed ships of the Euro pean belligerents. The celebrated McLemore resolu tion, around which the anti-adminis tration forces centered their fight was tabled, in other words killed, just as was the Gore resolution for a simi lar purpose the senate last week From the very outset of the fighl the president's supporters, without re gaid to party, swept over the opposi tion. First Vote a Victory. On the first vote, which was a par liamentasy proposition to prevent opening the McLemore resolution tc amendment and unlimited debate, the administration forces carried the day 256 to 160. On that 192 Democrats 63 Republicans and 1 Progressive voted to support the administration Twenty-one Democrats, 132 Republic ans, 3 Progressives, 1 independent and Representative London, the lone So cialist of the house, voted against it This was the crucial vote of the fight, the one point on which adminis tration leaders were uncertain. With victory in hand they moved on to the next proposition, the adoption of a special rule for four hours' discussion of the McLemore resolution. Again they carried the day, this time 271 to 13S, and then pushed theii victory to a conllusion by tabling the McLemore resolution, 276 to 142. In seven hours of tense, turbulenl session, in which the administration opponents charged that the presidenl was contending for a doubtful legal right and was shifting the responsi bility of diplomatic negotiations tc congress, the house swayed back and forth in the most sensational congres sional spectacle of a decade, probablj unequaled since the eve of the declara ticn of war on Spain. President Feels Gratified. President Wilson, calm and confi dent, heard the early results of the voting in the cabinet room at the White House with some of the cabi net group about him. He told them he was much gratified with the sup port of congress. Released tiom the bonds of embar rassment forced upon him by the dis sensions in congress, which have been represented in foreign capitals as in dicating that he was making his de mands on Germany in direct opposi tion to the sentiment of the elected representatives of the people, Presi dent Wilson now stands prepared tc po on with the submarine negotia tions with the central powers The next step probably will be an answer to Germany's last proposal tc settle the Lusitania .case, in whict the United States probably will asl. for such further assurances as it con siders sufficiently broad and complete to guarantee that the new submarine campaign, which began March 1, and in which notice h?s beer given tha* all ships carrying guns will be sunk without v-arnms will rot endar^r'^ Americans traveling the seas on mer chant "vessels The president and his advisers re gard the action of the house as a suf ficient answer to reports circulated in Berlin, sent from Washington, that congress stood 2 to 1 against him in the crisis One of the surprises was the fail ure of the so called Bryan influence tc develop any appreciable strength against the president SHOOTS FIVE IN THEATER Tong Hostilities Cause Panic in Fris co's Chinatown.
