SENATE VOTES TO END THE WAR 1 louse Has to Act Yet-President, it ls Oertain, Will Veto. Washington, May 15.-With few thrills and no hitch in the prear ranged program, the Senate to-day adopted, 43 to 38, the Republican resolution declaring the state of war with Oermany aud Austria-Hungary at an end. The measure was in the form of a substitute for tho peace resolution recently adopted by the House,which dealt with Germany alone. The two proposals will be adjusted in confer ences beginning next week, tho re sult to be endorsed by both houses, and the final resolution to be sont to the President for his signature. That the President will veto it is a foregone conclusion, unchallenged by any speaker during the debate in the House or Senate. It is uncertain when tho final reso lution will reach tho White House, but Republican leaders anticipate no difficulty in putting through a con ference draft with little delay.
