WASHINGTON, April 13.-After routine
business the House went into committee of
the whole on the naval appropriation bill,
the pending question being the point of
order against the clause appropriating
$3.50, 000 toward the construction of a dry
dock at Algiers, Louisiana.
The point o. order was sustained and the
item was stricken from the bill. When the
item for an increase in the navy was
reached, Holman, of Indiana, raised the
point of order against the clause authoriz-
ing the construction of an armed cruiser OF
about 1000 tons to cost, exclusive of arma-
ment, nor more than So, 100000. After con-
siderable debate, the chair delivered de-
cision overruling the point Of order. Hol-
man then moved to strike out the appro-
prlation for the new cruiser. Boutelle. of
Maine, moved to amend the paragraph by
providing for two fast sea- going coast line
battle ships Of displacement of about TO-
900 tons, to cost not exceeding 81, GOO, 0O0.
Pending action, the committee rose and
the house adjourned.

basis of the former superintendent, as it
has been decided to contest the constitu-
tlonallty Of the law. The result of the
remaining local conventions throughout
the state shows there is no doubt Alger
Will largely dominate the convention to-
morrow. The Harrison faction is in such
a hopeless minority that tonight all that
Is asked is the customary resolutions ap-
proving the past Republican administra-
ton be adopted: This proposition finds no
| opposition as Alger- endorses it.
In an interview tonight Alger said he
did NOT expect the delegates to the national
convention to be instructed for him
neither did he desire it. If the convention
did such thing he would release the dele
gates from their instructions at once.

Nav Day Berlin.

BERLIN. April 13.-The TerWarts, the or
gan Of the Social Democratic party, pub
fishes to-day an appeal to the workIHgmen
and women of Berlin, calling on them to
turn their efforts to make the celebration
so complete and imposing that it may re-
fsct honor instead Of disgrace on the in
dustrial classes. In each electoral district
establishments are designated from which
ticket of admission will be issued for
various premises in which meetings will be
held and speeches made. 1t is intended TO
have garden fetes and popular entertain
ments, also professions through the streets
and stands of music so the affair will have
more the aspect of national holiday than
of political meeting. No notices Of pro-
hibition of the celebration have been
issued in any part of Germany, except in
Leipsic, where the Socialists announce
their intention of keeping the day by
procession marching through the principal
streets, but the police threaten to take
measures to stop the procession.
