A long discussion followed on the sub
iect Of the American navy. Miller (CaL),
called attention to the Goienceloss cOndI-
ton of tho California coast. In speaking Of
the Panama canal, he referred to France
as having of lato become the most aggres
sive power on earth, aud said it proposed
to increase the same exclusive power over
the Panama canal that England does over
tho Sucz canal. Miller woull have the
country always prepared for emergencies,
1t would DO glorious To SEQ Americas dag
on every sea.
Morgan said no lad favored building up
the navy, but had no idea that the policy
of belligeTency was involved. He cOnsid,
cred the remarks OF the chairman OF tho
| foreign relations committee, Miller, worry
unfortunate. We Owe to ourselves tu
assume position of efficient defence, but
he, Morgan, chad not supposed we were
preparing for war. Was the effect
of the nomination recently made at
Chicago? Were We to understand that
that nomination followed by tho dcolara
tion of the chairman Of the foreign rela
tious committee was 20 be taken AZ a
| threat of war against tho world ?" lie
| wanted navy not rs threat against
mankind, but as a means of defense.
Mr.. lIawley argued that thcro is one
| thing worse than war, and that Is cow
ardly and ignOminious peace, and as things
arc now if attacked, we have no recourse
| left but such peace. Even IL We had q
tirs;.cass navy, no ono would suspect the
| United States of wanting war. The
