could build vessels cheaper and better. lie
gave notice Of his Intention 70 lntroduce
bill establishing four lines OF ocean steamers,
/ the vessels TO be Of class that eould DC
made available by the Government as war
steamers n tho necessity arose.
Mr.. Hill, Of N. j., oombatted some OF the
statements Of Mr.. Dawes made few days
since, and eontended that the Government
was economically administered.
/ M. Calkln, Of N.H., supported the bill.
Nj, Randall, OF Pennsylvania, said the
| only real objection 10 the bill had been pre-
sented by the gentleman from Massachu-
setts lMr. Davesl In his able address the
other day. That was a good speech and an
| Important speech 10 Tho Taxpayers OF the
country. He then proceeded to say that the
gentleman's Ideas Of general economy were
not applicable to the League Island bill.
Mr., Dawes said II was admitted by the
i frlends OF the bill that II was Of no value
unless followed BY an appropriation Of $780,
900. Tho question before the House. was
whether IL was prepared to expend this
amount TO prepare tho way for the removal
OF this yard. ....
Mr.. Randall thought Il was hardly falr for
the gentleman TO use an oxtraVngant ostl.
mate OF the Secretary OF the Navy against
the bill. The advocacy Of economy was no
new thing on his side of the House. The
/ Democratic party stood before the people as
its advocates. The place where the shoe
| pinched was that " this biii passed " was
the end OF New London.
/ Tho main question was then ordered.
| Mr.. starkweather, Of Conn, urged the
/ rocommittal OF the bill and threatened the
| defeat Of the appropriation 10 carry IL into
effect II the bill was not recommitted.
| Mr.. Woodward. Of Pa, charged the friends
Of the bill with lnslncerity In saying IL In
yolyed no appropriation, when an estimate
Of $4,000 was at the Navy Department
ready 10 follow tho bill. He agreed with
the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr..
| DaWes1 that this was no timo for so large
public expenditure. He had voted against
| the New London bill, and would vote against
the League Island bill, and would then DO In
q situation 10 vote against all tho eItraya-
gances enumerated BY the gentleman from
Massachusetts. II was his opinion that the
sale OF tho old yard would never secure the
establishment Of the new one.
Mr.. scoHeld, Of Pa, said there had been
| q Misrepresentation Of facts. Tho bill did
not contemplate an appropriation. All who
had opposed Il seemed to have argued from
that standpoint. -. r a.,
AZ the conclusion OF Mr.. scoaold's TO-
marks the House proceeded TO vote.
Mr.. Dawes moved 10 lay the bill on the
table, and demanded the yeas and nays.
The bill was laid on the table, by q vote OF
yeas %, nays OF. ..i .-
