The senate remained in session all night to pass the loan bill, the key stone measure of the calendar; while the house held a business session, disposing of the conference report on Che hospital bill. * Passage of the loan bill without a record vote and in the identical form in which it came from the house defi nitely marked the course of future leg islation and gave assurance that President Wilson would not find it necessary to change his plan of defer ring a call of the new congress until after his return fropi France, prob ably in June , EDWIN'Y.

Wafthington.—Uncertainty dver the status of railroads in the immediate future was largely removed by Direc tor General Hines’ announcement, after conferring with President^ Wil son, that the government would not turn the roads back to private man agement until Congres had more op portunity to consider .a permanent program of legislation. This was generally interpreted as meaning that the railroads would be under government management for at least another year, and probably long- e^. If a special session of Congress is called early in the summer, railroad legislation might be taken up. With the temporary status deter mined, the railroad administration will go ahead vigprously .with the pro gram for making improvements and extensions, both for the sake of the PEOPLE OF PARIS AWAITING WITH ANXIETY RESULTS OF , * 4 ' ; . 0 • PRESIDENT’S SPEECH.

TO CONFER MW GOVERNORS: Paris.—President Wilson’s Bosfon speech was awaited here with curios ity and some anxiety. It was expect ed to stum how he intended to ad- " * /r> dress himself to the task which is regarded here as a task of supreme importance for the result of the peace conference and for the. political fu ture of the United States. That task is to secure the support of American -public opinion for the work already done in Paris and, obtain a valid man date for the work that remains to be done. * As viewed from Paris, the question at issue seems to be whether the pea- pie and the legislative bodies of the. United States will hold fast to the policy inaugurated by American In- terventi<yi in the war and sanction an organization for peace in the world on a solid basis or whether-they will i prefer to revert to the policy of trans- Atlantic provincialism and call it splendid isolation.
