nation as 10 the landing Of an armed

solution, as amended, passed.
THE SENATE THEN PROCEEDED
to the consideration Of the naval
appropriation bill. The pending
question was Coc,,rell's amendment
g. strike out the provision for three
heavily armored hattie ships at
SAuOD.UGu each. There was a
lengthy debate on this, in which
Cockreli commented on the recon-
mendatiOns Of the Secretary Of the
! NGTv Tor the construction or large
number Of vessels. There was no
/ occasion, said COckr,ll, for the con-
stTUction Of coast defcusss or an
increase OF naval establishment. IL
was well Tor the Senate 10 rgmem-
/ Ter that the surplus was already
gone. When the legislation Of this
| Congress Is finished there will De
no surplus, and the people Of the
United States might 10y very happy
| n the taxes did not have 60 be in
/ creased. There was no OCCASION for
the construction Of great battle
ships. The American flag was per-
fectiy slfe in every part Of the
earth. The United States could
rely on securing justice without any
manifestation Of physical o. visible
force.
voorhees, said the American peC-
pie no more favored increasing the
navy and having a great standing
navy than they were in favor Of
having n great standing army. He
had faith III the ability Of the Amer
lean people 10 get ready whenever
an emergency aEusc.
BUTLER STOKE VIGOROUSLY
ia opposition to the amendment
and regretted that il was not in his
power In cote for eight instead OF
three bclls ship-. lie hoped that
all our difficulties might lie settled
10y negotiation or arbitration, but 50
long rs human nature was rs il is, it
was unsafe TO assume that the
United States was in no danger OF n
collision with fOreign pOweEs.
Blair moved tO amend the pro-
vision f0r the hattie ships by insert
ing a prUviso that il shall not he
available Until the government Of
Great Britain shall have been re-
/ guesteu 10y the President 10 With
draw all her naval forces from
American waters and 10 dismantle
the naval stations in both South |
and North America and in adjacent
Islands; and shall have declined or
neglected Tor one year to DO 30.
Hawley said this proposition
from q nation already disarmed was
Simply lliicrOus. Mniie ne was as
much in favor Of peace as anybody;
he did not believe in any way in
degrading from the teachings Of the
holy scripture In favor Of being pre-.
pared against violence and gross in-
justice. There was some time in the
history Of the world when, for thh
sake OF msiih1Od and patriotism, for
the sake of God and country, n pee
pie must fight, and these were the
days that lifted the people out Of
their worship Of
THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
Mr.. Hall spoke OF the defenseless
condition Of the Pacific coast and
the extensive British work and
naval stations in British Columbia.
which he had visited last year.
