made to get the government supply
measures through on a right of way
understanding In both houses so that
they may be se'ure regardless of a
time lor Una! adjournment, which is
still speculative, "in July." was the
guess to.day of Senator Smoot. of
L'tah. one of de Republican leaders,
while some of the Democratic lead?
ers. Inducing Culberson. of Texas,
said they believed an adjournment In
August more likely, a few Senators
still believe there Is a bare chance
for adjournment this month.
The fight on the naval appropriation
bin will be precipitated In the Sen?
ate probably late In inc week, with
Indications favoring the administra?
tion's two battleships annual increase
program, to be determined by the
Senate Committee on Naval Affairs
probably to-morrow. The committee
has already tentatively added to the
House, bill a 18,000,000 appropriation
for coal and other depots for war?
ships. This is considered by the Navy
Department as absolutely necessary at
this time to carry out Its compre?
hensive scheme of providing stores
j of coal at such strategic points as
Pearl Harbor, Caballo Island. Tlburon,
Narragansett Bay, Guantanamo, Bos?
ton, New York and Hampton Roads.
The next project to be taken up will
be to provide for a store of coal of
100.000 tons at the Norfolk navy yarn,
which Is to be made one of the most
important coal depots on the Atlan?
tic coast.
The appropriation for thePcarl Har?
bor drydock has been Increased by
the committee so as to make tho total
limit of cost i3.lS6.500.
Favors tirade of Admfrul.
The committee, so far as it has
proceeded, favors an amendment to
re-establish the grade of admiral at
$12,00o annual salary, so as to per?
mit the commanders-in-chief of the
t'nlted States Atlantic and Pac.fle
fleets to have an admiral's rank and
pay, and the grade of vice-admiral,
with $lo.ftoo pay, to be conferred on
the second in command of each of
thos> fleets. The admirals and vice
admirals would be selected from
among tne active rear-admirals. Dem?
ocratic Senators may upset this plan.
Even If adopted by the Senate. It
would be fought out In tfTe confer?
ence with the House.
The committee will recommend au?
thority for liberal expenditures by
the navy to get the practical work?
ing value of hydro-aeroplanes In fleet
operations. T.iis appropriation will
be provided under separate heads of
steam machinery, construction and re?
pair In each case not excced'ns
Jo".000.
To-morrow tne legislative, execu?
tive and Judicial appropriation bill, in?
cluding the retention of the Commerce
Court, voted against by the House,
will be considered by the Senate, and
the sundry civil appropriation bill, in?
volving a probable fight on the Presi?
dent's travel allowance and Panama
Canal expenditures, will be reported
In the House.
The Investigation of Judge Arch
bald, of the Commerce Court, will be
resumed by the House Judiciary Com?
mittee, and the Senate amendments
to the House metal tariff revision bill
will be considered by tne House Ways
and Means Committee, with prol.ahly
disagreement to the Canadian reci?
procity bill repeal rider. Tho House
chemical tariff hill is pending In the
Senate this week.

After a conference to-day between
Representative Henry, of Texas, chalr
! man of tho House Rules Committee,
and Representative Clayton, of Ala
; bama, chairman of the Judiciary Com
I mittee, a Joint statement was made
public Indicating thut such tin Investi?
gation would be made.
The statement said also that the
Department of Justice probably would
be railed upon to furnish Information
in Its possession regarding tho beef
trust and its operations. A . recom?
mendation for an amendment to tho
Sherman antitrust law may be made
I in a report Of the committee after the
' inquiry. Representative Edwards, of
Georgia, already has introduced In tho
House a resolution directing tho At?
torney-General to proceod with 'a suit
to dlstolve the beef trust. It was said
to-day. however, that such a resolu?
tion was not necessary. Tender the

FACE CRITICAL SITUATION
Mexican Rebels Are Devoid of .Money
nnd Ammunition.
I Chihuahua. Mexico. Juno 2.?Devoid
' of money and ammunition, the Mexican
' rebels In Northern Mexico to-night are
confronted with the most critical slt
I nation for them since the revolution
' began. If the rebel chiefs can delay
; the expected battle at Rachlmba they
i mav be able to concentrate enough
j strength to deal a formidable blow to
; the government. Falling, however, to
iget money and arms, the liberal chiefs
j fear disaffection among the men and
i disorganization:
The money situation Is by far the
: most serious. and foreign residents
j have fled, taking large sums with
them. Only about thirty Americans re?
main here and hardly any women or
children.
The rebels have rtsorted to desperate
means to obtain money, and this, more
thnn the fear of an expected attack
from Generals Vlllar and Rablgo. has
caused the exodus from here. To-day
the rebels took $"..000 worth of cloth?
ing from a dry goods store here. From
another store $23,000 worth of supplies
were taken.
