PASS PKACK MHASIKK. j Pro-Arranged Programme Quickly; Adopted. Washington, May 1 f>.?With few; thrills and no liiteli in the pre-arrang-i ed programme, the senate adopted to-! day 4 3 to 3S the Republican resolution declaring the state of war with Germany and Austria-Hungary at an end. The measure was in the form of a substitute for the peace resolution recently adopted by the house which dealt with Germany alone. The two proposals will be adjusted in conference beginning next week, the result to be indorsed by both houses and the final resolution be sent to the President for 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 the final resolution will reach the white house, but Republican leaders anticipate no difficulty in putting through a conference draft with little delay. ^1 ! ! At Last. Grubbs?Binks says that at last he is the undisputed master of the house. Stubbs?He is, too. His wife and family are away on a visit and the cook has quit. ^ <o> ? Read The Herald, $2.00 per year.
