Paris, March 1.—Antoine Monis is experiencing some difficulty in organ izing a ministry but it is expected he will announce hs definite acceptance of the premiership to President Fal- lieres during the day and it is possi ble that he will make known his asso ciates tonight.

M. Caillaux has definitely accepted the post of minister of finance. He served in the same capacity in the Clemenceau cabinet. Last night M. Monis announced that M. Delcasse bad accepted the portfolio of marine and M. Berteaux that of'war. As he was driving about Paris in a motor car on his mission of cabinet making, M.

March 1.—Efforts to settle a strike of linotype operators on two local jiapers continued today and the other morning ))apers, by agreement limited issues to four pa.ges only. The evening papers made no attempt to piint advertising matter and new'S matter was condensed. The strike w'orks a particular hard ship on the reading public at present, owing to the great interest in the pri maries of yesterday, and developments in the United States senate. The usual foienoon editions of the evening papers were not issued. The publishers hoped to put tw’o editions on the street in reduced form instead of the customary half dozen or more. President O’Brien, of the Chicago Typographical Union, No. IG, has or dered the strike in only one^ ofl[ice. So far as possibfe type for this publica tion was being set in the other three evening plants. Officers of the chap els, as the individual union organiza tions of each office are called, met to consider the situation. The question before *them was w'hether to stand by Mr. O’Brien, who ordered the strike or by James M. Lynch, president of the International Typographical Union, who has official ly declared the strike to be “unauthor ized, illegal and unwarranted.” After Long And Animated Fight Illinois Senator Wins Fight, And is Allowed to Re tain Eis Seat in Congress, Bow Senators Voted on The PiopGsition—Simmons Sided With Lorimer And Overman Against — Noted Sttuggle Ends, ^^'ashington, March 1.--Tlie senate today, by a vote of Hi to 40. sustained William l.orinier's title to a seat for the state of Illinois, defeating the res olution of Senaior Beveridge declaring him not legally elected a member of. the senate. i.oiimer was not pi'esent when th(i vote was taken.
