What la regarded aa the most im portant campaign, however, is that de . velopiug in the Carpathians, brought about by ho Austro-German offensive ' tq drive the Russians from Gatseia and Bukowina. The Austro-German allies are said to have concentrated 28 army corps for thia venture. So far as can be gathered from contradictory official reports, the Russians have wqn preliminary skirmishes in the western pasaea from Dukla, to Wyszkowba, while they have been forced to retire before superior-forces.

No further parliamentary dc- ] vibe was available, and physical en durance alone remained io hold back the taking of the rote. Although thc Democrats agreed to a recess at midnight at the end of 37 hours of continuous debate, adminis tration leaders Insisted that such ac tion meant no let-up hi their deter mination to press the bill.

But beginning Monday at 10 o'clock lt ls our purpose to press the bill with all the force that is in our power." Late today Senator William Alden Smith relieved his Republican col leagues who had been holding the ! .floor since early morning. He turned. ! his attention to a I liter arraignment I of the administration's policy andi painted a gloomy word picture of thc j business condition of the country un der the Democratic tariff. An "era! of record-breaking business .mortal ity" had followed enactment of that] tariff, he said, and he characterized the shipping bill as thc "fifth admin istration follows." "I don't think we ever had a presi dent who Waa so hopeful with so lit tle cause aa.the present incumbent of the White bouse." fae said. "From tho day he signed the tariff bill he lias 'bot let a week go by without pro-] claiming that prosperity was here.'
