TIE NEW DRY DOCK. y
WASHINGTON, May 24-When Senator n
Aliens amendment 10 the DaYal appropli- S,
alton bill came up for consideration IL
to-day, it caused something of a fight !,
between the Washington and Oregon :,
senators. The amendment provides for a Il
commission to select site for dry dock d
at some point on the Puget sound. Sen G G
ator Mitchell offered an amendment which s
provided that the commission should b
select the dry dock on the waters of the e,
Pacific ocean north OF the California line,
including the Columbia river, Puget n,
sound and Lakes Union and Washington, es
in Washington. Senator Mitchell sup b,
ported his amendment by saying that the til
commission which selected the navy yard TIL
l,,I eaIo /
provided IN his amendment. Senator ia
Dolph supported Mitchel's proposition tn
and Senator Squire maintained that the ns
dock should lie located at some point on
Puget sound. Senator Hale, chairman of
the committee, was in favor of MitcLel's
| proposition but believed that any com pr
| mission making the selection would choose la
| Puget sound Mitchels amendment was 8,
| agreed to. Senator Hale and other mem
bers of the committee do not like the &c
yard site seected by the former COM tn
mission. and if the dry dock site is 10
selected it Is more than possible that the pu
navy yard will go wherever the present pl'
commission decides the dock. 1t is safe ISL
to assume that the old site at Port fot
Orchard will not be consi 1ered. nv
