lowed to stand in the way of Mr. Wilson's

ugrew interposed to say that he should
demand action on the Dakota case before

was an exceptional one, and urged that the
selection of Cabinet officer was a matter
with which the President should be allowed
to proceed without hindrance as Cabinet
officers were regarded as constituting the
official family of the chief executive. Sem
ator Pettigrew conceded this view and
withdrew his objection. Mr.. Faulkner made
no further remarks and the confirmation
was immediately made. AZ the conclusion
taken and Mr.. Tinsley's nomination was
rejected. The vote stood Is to Al.

MONEY FOR NEW WAR SHIPS.
Germany's Refchstag Votes a Credit
for Building Cruisers.

BERLIN. March 1.-The debate on the
naval budget was continued in the Rechs-
tag to-day. The Chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe. in supporting the naval de-
mands maintained that the new vessels were
required nor to increase the navy, but in
order to replace obsolete vessels.
Rear Admiral Holman, the chief of the
Navy Department, declared that the Ger
man fleet was in no way prepared to meet
the demands made on it, adding that it was
smaller than the fleet of any nation in
Europe and only equal in strength to that
of the Argentine Republic.
The Imperia. Secretary of state for For
eign Affairs, Freiherr Marschal Won Bieber
stein, dwelling on the necessity for the new
cruisers, said that they were necessary for
the protection of Germanys foreign trade
and interests. Continuing he said; "In the
war between China and Japan we have
maintained complete neutrality But we
have such great interests at stake as to
compel us TO carefully watch everything.
The cruisers also serve as serious warn
ing to the 100000 German immigrants to
remain loyal to the fatherland
The credit of the new cruisers was finally
adopted by vote of 145 to II.
