Mr. Daniel. of Virginia, thought tho
Holland boat presented the solution of
harbor defense and said he would vote
for twenty of the Holland boats to Iks
built to allay the sensitiveness and ap
prehension of our seacoast cities, and he

Monroe doctrine by Germany, Mr. Dan
iel said; |
“That speech has had Its echo through
out the world and Is even now reverbrat
ing on the continent of Europe. Germa
ly s war lord who always has his ear set
for rumors of war is even i ow reflecting
upon and commenting upon the idea teat.
Some time Germtny is to have a war
wl'.h the United States. I do not believe
it. The war lord of tiermany is right in
stimulating the military’ animus of hls
Pecple. He is but maintaining the trad!
tions of his fathers. But that the war
lord of Germany or the chief ruler of
anv other nation is building up a navy
with the idea .of some day testing the
Momoe doctrine is not suscep.lble to the
view of common sense. We ought al
ways to keep tn view our objective in the
construction of a navy. If the idea of
those who,want to build a great navy bc
•causo England, a great empire, has a
great navy, or because Germany, a pro
gr< tsive nation has an eye on 'the ag
gregation of a navy is that we shall have
a navy capable of going on the seas and
meeting these combined navies or ev< n
the navy of Great Britain then we are
going into a big undertaking and one
Which Is in accordance with the rationale
of this service. This is a peaceful na
tion. The object w hich leads me to vote
for liberal appropriations for the navy’
is simply that we may have necessary
weapons Os defense and not that we mny
have a vast navy whichishall go about the
world seeking whom w* may devour.”
The committee amendment appropriat
ing 327e,<»Mj for the purchase of Gothman
guns and ammunition was withdrawn.
An amendment was adopted providing
in effect for the removal of the naval
station at Port Royal. S. C., to Charles
ton. S. C. .The bill authorizes the ex
penditure of Ml2.w>. but leaves the ex
penditure of this money to the discretion
of the secretary of the navy, who is au
thorized to examine into the expediency
of changing the n ation to Charleston. 8.
C. The amendment provides tjiat there
must boa depth of water of at least
thirty feet at the new sta ion.
Mr. Hale, in advocating the amend
ment, -waid the committee felt that no
more good money ought *to be sent after
bud at Port Royal.
Mt. Chandler offered an amendment re
ducing the number of armored cruisers
provided for in the bill from three to two
and the number of protected cruisers from
three to two. His purpose in offering it,
he Mid. was to direct attention to tho
fact that we are expending too much
money for our navy and too little tor
the development of our merchant ma
rine.
"’I here Is a bill now- before this sen
at* .-.nd be, "i i<'v;.ihm tor the devel
opment of our merchant marine winch
cads for no larger appropriation than is
necessary for the construction of two
I first-class war vessels. I hope that con-
I gn ss will not adjourn until it has brought
this shipping bill to a vote.”
”1 have not the slightest idea,” said
Mr. Teller, "that tile shipping bill will
be taken up until after h* campaign and
neither has Senator Chandler.
•Tm not a great party leader,” replied
Mr. Chandhr. sarcastically, "but there
is no need that wo should rush away
from here Iwu'ore we pass this great bill
for the advancement of our merchant mu-
I rine.”
Mr. Hale expressed' the belief that he
ami the senator from New Hampshire
would i>e older men than they now were
before tile subsidy bill was disposed of.
Mr. Chandler withdrew the amendment.
Mr. Teller said Mr. Chandler knew
that his party dared not bring the sub
, sidy Dill in.
1 “It is shunted to go over until the next
i ses-ton of congress.” he said. “Then,
i suppose. We shall have the subsidy bill,
the bill to increase the army to IfiO.OM
men and such o her measures as cannot
| be considered now in view of the presi-
■ dential campaign.”
Mj^M.'Br.de, of Oregon, secured an
amendment providing for the appoint
ment of a board of officers to determine
i the desirability' of constructing a dry
( •!< k on the Columbia river. Oregon.
Mr. Tillman offered an amendment pro
-1 viding that no armor should be con'ract
i >d for in advance or its actual require
ment by vessels in construction. It was
agreed to.
Mr. Pettigrew declared that it was tho
' purpose of the dominant party in con
gress to make these great contracts for
war vessels and armor in order that it
micht I •• in position to obtain vast con-
I tr.butiotis :o its campaign fund.
Tltc bill th* n passed without division.
Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, secured the
passage of an act providing for free
hom* steads on the public lands for actual
and bona tide settlers, and n serving tho
public land for that purpose.
A bill also passed :o apply a portion

ference- conference. Tomorrow the
house w iko up the bill to establish a
civil government for Alaska.
When the session opened Mr. Gillett,
of Massachus*-ttes. asked unanimous con
| rent to consider the senate bill to re-ln
orporata the American National Red
2d \ Bailey, of Texas, tn unmi<akal>le
terms aunounc* d his objection. The Red
Cross, he paid, was an excellent charita
ble organization, but tho bill violated
sound nrincipb-s of government. He also
objected when Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana,
tried fofr unanimous consent to consider
a senate bill for the retirement as first
sergeants of the four survivors of the
l.a ; Frank.in bay relief expedUion. Mr.
Overstreet sa d General Greely had beeu
rewarded with a brigadier generalship,
but the other four survivors, being enlist
ed men, bad been dismissed t om tho
service for disability.
Thu house then took up the military
academic bill, but chief!}* discussed poli
tics. Mr. Slayden, of Texas, said tho
war dej»urtment. while warning poor men
against g > ng to our .Insular ttossesslons,
was inviting the trusts to go there to
purts r tho millions mad*- p ssible by
sacrifice of our blood and treasure.

Mr. Sulzer, of New York, arxued in
favor of an enlargement of West Point
and the framing of officers to have charge
of the national guard, which he thought
should Ik- expamitd Into WI.OOO men.
Mr. Mahon, of Pennsylvania, offered, but
on appeal withdrew an amendment pro
viding that every cadet at West Point
shall tako an oath not to Indulge in
"hazing.” The bill was then passed.
The River and Harbor Bill.
Washington. May 17.—The house today
passel a special river and harbor bill
carrying SkK'.Od for surveys and emer
gency’ work and devoted tho remainder
of the dav to tho Alaskan rude bill. Very
little of the three hours’ debate was per
tinent to the measure. General del ate was
closr-d and four P&KM of the til? pages
of tho bill were disposed of before ad
journment.
When Mr. Burton, chairman of the river
and harbor committee asked for unani
mous consent to consider the bill he an
nounced a r< al riter and harbor bill
would be brought in early in the next
session.
1 Mr. Southard, of Ohio, objected and
'thereupon, on Air. Burton's motion, tho
| house went into committee of the whole
to consider it.
After some unimportant debate the com
mittee rose and tho bill was passed. The
Alaskan code bill was then taken up.
In the ensuing three hours general debate
with leave to print W. K. William’s. Illi
nois. discussed the Philippine question.
Mr. Shattuc made a general resume of
the industrial eonditons to show that the
present administration had lifted the

bayonet and robbed by carpet baggers
but foreshadows tlie fate for our country
unless tin* people are aroused to our
danger. Tho unjust war of subjugation
now being carried on In the Philippines
by President McKinley should bo ended at
once."
The platform demands a strict adher
ence on the part of tho United States
government to the -solemn pledges by
tv hich congress promised independence to
tin- Cuban patriots.
The treatment of Porto Rico Is also
conilemn.’d, and the wise party leadership
of Bryan commended, “believing thar’ he
will restore the lost prestige of the high
Office of president.”
Concerning England’s course in the
Transvaal, the platform says:
“Great Britain’s unrighteous course de
serves the condemnation of all lovers of
self-government, and we denounce tho
cowardice of the present administration
for not extending an offer of its good
offices to terminate the unholy war of
subjugation.”

DEWEY AND GERMAN SHIPS.
Admiral Says He Made a Mistake in
Not Sinking Them.
Knoxville, Tenn., May 16.—(Special.)—
Admiral Dewey, before ills departure from
this city, gave out an Interview In which
he stated that the Incident of the Ger
man Admiral Diedrichs had not been
exaggerated as to its Importance. When
the German squadron arrived Dewev
asked the German admiral why he
brought so many vessels, and the latter
replied that he did so at tho emperor’s
order.
The exasperating tactics of the Ger-
mans caused Dewey many sleepier nig ht”
before the two American monitors re
enforced our fleet. It was only V •
diplomatic but firm course that tro^‘ e
was averted. During this time the Brit
ish officers, alone of the foreigners, were
sympathetic with us. After the mon -
tors came the foreign ships slunk awuy
one by one. ,
When the French admiral came on board
to pay hls respects he
Dewey on the fact that he had made no
mistakes. ,
"Yea. I made one.” answered the aa
mlrai. "I did not sink those ships over
there,” pointing to the German vessels.
In fifteen minutes the German admiral
knew* of this remark. "And it was for
that purpose that I made it,” said Dewey.
The admiral said he was too busy then
to make reports about these matters,
and the president told him afterwards
that he was very glad there was noth
ing on record about this unpleasant con
tretemps when we came so near be
coming engaged in war with Germany.
