Provision for Construction of battle
Ships Retained.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.--The opponents
of the new battle ships for the navy suf-
fered a crushing defeat to day, when Mr..
Sayers's motion to strike out the authorize
ton for the war vessels was lost, first in
the committee of the whole on a vote of
43 to 121, and later In the House by vote
of 81 to 1879. After Mr.. Sayerss motion
had been defeated Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois,
attempted to have an appropriation. first
of 100000. and then of $500 COO, inserted
in the bill for building the ships authorized,
but both propositions failed. Mr.. Dolliver
succeeded in having an amendment adopted
providing for the building Of two torpedo
boats on the Mississippi river. and Mr..
Sayers added proviso to the item for
arrnor appropriations to the effect that no
higher sums should be paid by this govern
ment for armor or gun steel than was paid

furnished other governments. The naval
bill. as passed. authorizes the construc-
tion OF three battle ships to cost, exclusive
of armor. A,000,0o0 each. and twelve tor
pedo boats to cost $4,000 each. After the
bill was passed some time was spent in the
discussion of the Senate amendment to the
diplomatic and consular bill appropriating
$4,000 for laying , submarine cable be-
no action was taken upon it.
AT the opening of the session some time
was spent in unravelling tangle produced

Messrs. Hun and Lacey. of Iowa, insisted
that the bill was meritorious and the rec

should be disagreed to. and this action was
taken-4s to 100. Inc bill was then passed
153 to 70.

Mr.. r. Taggart, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State central committee of Indiana,
accompanied by four members of the del

House this morning to importune Presi-

body has not yet arrived in Indianapolis.
The members of the delegation who ac-
companied Mr. Taggart were Senators Voor-

Frankfort, formed worthy accompaniment
TO this precious embassy. Mr.. Cleveland was
Disguised at the visit and even the usually
diplomatic Mr.. Thurber was at no pains to
conceal his indignation. Mr.. Cleveland
greeted the delegation very coldly and
promptly informed Mr.. Taggart that he
knew all he wanted to know about Mr..
ShankIn. He pointedly reminded his visi-
tors that he preferred to delay consideration
OF Mr.. Grays successor until after the
funeral and casually asked Mr.. Brown If
he not one of the committee appointed
by the delegation to attend the funeral. Mr..
Brown admitted in some confusion that
he was and promptly added that his COM
panion, MI. Iaylor, was also MEMBER Oh

also members of the committee, declined.
from motives of self-respect, to accompany
Mr.. Taggart on this mornings Grand The
delegation finally left the White House
pretty well convinced that whatever linger-
ing regard Mr.. Cleveland may have felt
for Mr.. Shankln that gentleman's friends
have dispelled forever. The visit of the
Indiana men to the White House to-day
Is a scandal of the cloak rooms of both
houses During the afternoon Messrs.
Brown and Taylor apparently began to real
re the enormity of their conduct and to
feel some doubt as to the nature of their
reception in Indianapolis If they attended
the funeral, for Mr.. Brown announced that
none OF the committee would be able to at
tend the funeral. Mr.. Wilson, of West Vir-
gnia, Is most likely to be appointed to
