The Day Spent in Debate on the Con-
sular Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The opening
hour of the House session to-day was an I'M
usually dull one. Various measures were
presented for action. They were all of
local Importance, but after some time had
been consumed in the reading of bills and
reports, objections to their passage were in
terjected by unanimous consent, Mr.. Walk
er's expunging resolution still blocking the
way of the regular order.
The House went into committee of the
whole, with Mr.. Oates of Alabama In the
chair, on the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill.
When the general debate closed and the
bill was read by paragraphs for amendment.
MIR. Hit of Illinois made vigorous effort
to secure the adoption of amendments re-
storing to their status several missions
which had been abolished by consolidation,
or where the salaries have been reduced
The missions to the American republics so
affected called forth his best efforts, partic-
ularly that of Venezuela, but they were Of
no avail. No quorum voted on Mr. Hits
amendment restoring the old salary OF the
minister to Venezuela, and the committee

more members doubtful, but probably in
clined to the senator. w. 5. Cappeller, the
former member from Senator Sherman's
home district, withdrew without taking a
vote. Mr. Cappeller is a strong Foraker
man.
The first applause Of the convention was
given TO a mention of Gov. Mckinley.
Judge King chairman of the state central
committee, in introducing Gov. Foraker as
Temporary chairman, stole march on the
latter gentleman, and in a neat little
address contrived TO name before any one
else the great apostle Of protection and omit
any reference to ex-Gov. Foraker. Hearty
applause was ELECTED instantly at Gov. Nc
Kinleys name and the Foraker men were
somewhat taken back, but got their res
venge when Judge King later on referred
to Secretary Blaine, when an uproar Of APP
plause followed from all sides of the hall,
and was several times renewed.
President Harrison's name was
also literally cheered. Chairman Griffin's
carefully guarded progress up to the first
utterance in the convention Of the word
Foraker was somewhat spoiled by the unex-
pected tactics of Judge King in the Mckin-
ley applause incident. When the syllabes
Foraker were pronounced bedlam seemed
to have broken loose, the volume of noise
decidedly surprising anything that had
been heard previously. When Gov McKin-
leys name was spoken later by Chairman
Griffin, the Napoleonic governors friend
showed that they too had notwithstanding
lungs, and the excitement between the rival
shouters would have been amusing were 1t
not so intensely earnest.
The reading of the roster of the members
OF the various committees chosen by the
district conventions helped calm matters
somewhat, but the delegates evidently,
above all things, wanted to "holler" wholly
unchecked, and when Mr.. Dougherty Of
Fayette county, in stentor tones, moved to
adjourn till Tomorrow so that all could att
tend thei National League base ball game
where everybody could applaud. the ayes"
rolled up mighty majority, aud the hall
was deserted in twinklng.
There is every probability OF serious
conflict in the convention tomorrow over
the delegates at large between Gov. For

sign tonight of a comDromise-on the con-
trary, the factions grow wider apart as the
hours grow later.

MONEY FOR TaE NAVY.
The Senate Committee Recommends |
More New Vessels

More New Vessels.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The naval ap,
preparation bill was to-day reported to the
| Senate from the committee on approprie-
tons. The most important change made in
the House bill is an addition to the section
providing for the construction of one
armored cruiser of a paragraph authorizing
the construction also of one seagoing coast
line battleship of 5000 tons displacement,
having the heaviest armament and armor,
not to exceed in cost S4000.000, exclusive
or armament; and coast defense double
turret ship Of 7,500l tons displaoe-
ment, to cost not over IS O00,
OOO; four light draught gunboats Of
from 800 to l 200 tons, not to exceed in cost
$3.50 900 each. and six torpedo boats not to
exceed $4,000 each. no two of which boats
shall be built by one establishment. The
Dill also authorizes the secretary TO pre-
scribe premiums and penalties for speed.
An appropriation of 100000 is added for
new breech mechanism plant at the Wash
ington ordnance factory and one of S83. 600
for torpedo outfits for the Boston, Chicago
and Atlanta.
Senator Daniels amendment of $500 900
for a naval review Is cut down to $4,000.
The committee also inserted provision
authorizing the application of $150,OO0 of
the appropriation heretofore made for the
purchase OF nickel ore for experiments in
torpedoes. submarine guns and other in
struments of submarine warfare and
American armor.
The House bill made total appropriation
Of S23, 476. IT'S, and the Senate committee
increased the total STAT 900, making it S24,-
223, 773, which is less by SS,317, SS1 than the
appropriation for the current year, aud less
by $4,000. $50 than the estimates, The prin-
cipa items of increase were under the head
Of Increase of the navy, in theaddition of
$3.50 900 to the 100000 appropriation
for armor and armament of new vessels,
and of 100000 to the $1,000, 600 appropria-
ton for their machinery.
The comparatively small increase of the
total appropriation is accounted for by the
fact that while the President is authorized
by the committee amendments to construct
six new war vessels and six torpedo boats,
no money is appropriated for the purpose.
