Ter was elected to the Senate that it might be
expected that he might force an investigation
into the management of the Navy Depart

this, although he has been assigned to posi-

silence is at last broken, and he has intro
duced resolutions which propose very wide
range of inquiry into the entire administra-
tion of the Navy Department. Mr. Chand-

In the House Mr.. Belmont presented, by
request, a memorial signed by David Dudley
Field, Andrew Carnegie, Abram 5. Hewitt
and others, asking the passage Of the joint
resolution requesting the President to pro-
pose TO Great Britain the making of treaty
providing that in the case of difference be-
tween them respecting the Interpretation of
any treaty or any claim Of either under the
established law of nations, or respecting the
boundary or, any wrong alleged by either ma
tion upon the other, it shall be the earnest
ence by conciliatory negotiations and that
in no event shall either begin war against
the other without first offering to submit the
differences to arbitration. The memorial
states that since the general pacifcation of
1856, there have been nearly sixty instances
of arbitration for the settlement of interna-

nently practicable.
