ECONOMY In The NAVY
Some Battleships and Monitors May
Be Put Out of Commission.
Leading Officers of the Service Have
Suggested the Plan TO Secre-
tary Herbert.

The Navy Department is considering tne
advisabiiity of retaining only certain num-
Der of vessels in commission on each sta
ton and laying the Others up, but kept IN
readiness for duty on a few days notlce.
The object is to lessen expenses, which
have become very heavy to the navy, as
modern war vessels require large crews
and burn enormous quantities of coal.
1t is not contemplated that cruisers will
be among those laid up, but that the reserve
number will consist principally of the bat
tlcship and monitor class. France and
Great Britain are following this plan, and
find that it works to advantage, saves
money and docs not reduce the available
strength of the navy.
Secretary Herbert does not propose To
put into effect Immediately the suggestions,
which come from the leading Officers or the
service, for he regards foreign affairs as
warranting every vessel the navy has being
ready for instant service, and, instead OF
reducing the fighting strength he proposes
TO make every effort to increase the strength
of the various fleets during the next two
months. This will apply to the North At
lantic fleet more particularly.
When the summer-fleet evolutiors are
over. and if affairs are not threatening
abroad, it is proposed to lay the Indiana
and Maine up, and also to retire tempo
rarily from active service the Amphitrite
and Terror. Possibly theN New York may be
tied up at some navy yard, and the Texas
also. Only the cruisers and one or Two
battleships and monitors be intends shall
be in commission.
The Indiana's place will be tax en- by the
Massachusetts, and the two monitors re-
tiring Will he succeeded by the Puritan and
Miantonomah, now at League Island. While
the number of vessels composing the fleet
will thus he materially decreased, il will
still consist OF force equal to that now
under Admiral Bunce, and adequate for the
ordinary work required of the home sta
ton. In the event that the proposed pro-
gram is carried out, League Island will
probably be selected as the rendezvous for
retiring naval ships, on account of the
fresh waters around the anchorage ground
and its freedom from ice.

1.-THE House has insisted" said Mr.. Ding
lev Yesterday afternoon, that in licensing
such places. billiard and pool rooms shall
be billiar rd and pool rooms and not rum
shops"
Mr.. Dingley spoke with considerable feel
ing. the occasion of bis remarks being the
return of the House bill licensing billiard
and pool tables, with a Senate afnenoment
eliminating tie provision that no intoNi-
eating liquors shall be sold in rooms where
billiard and pool tables are maintained or
in connecting rooms.
In lieu of this provision the Senate in
serted an amendment prohibiting minors
from entering any place where liquors are
dispensed for sale.
Mr.. Dingley referred to the great i'm
portance OF the bill, and said IL had been
carefully considered in the House and dis
cussed at length, and the legislation in
tended had been utterly nullified by the
Senate amendment. Speaking for himself
he was unwilling that the House should re-
cede from its former action, taken after
mature deliheration, and he felt confident
anna iority of the members would agree with
him.
THE RIGHT NAME.
Continuing his remarks, Mr.. Dingley de-
clared that the elimination of the Senate
was not in the interest of good morals. He
had previously insisted, and should now in
sist that rumshops he known as rumshops,
and that billiard and pool rooms be entirely
divorced from places where liquors are
sold
.t,a airfn Il.h HnllGa
trict Committee, made a formal mot ion
to concur i'll the Senate amendment, and
Messrs Dingley and Morse spoke briefly
III opposition. The motion to concur was
defeated-9 yeas; ~ nays.
Mr. Dingcy moved that the House in
sist on the bill as originally passed and
request a conference thereon. He offered
a resolution instrmcting the conferees on
the part of the House to insist on so much
of the bill as prohibits the sale of liquors
in billiard and pool rooms or any room
leading out of them. This was adopted by
large vote.
The confcIees have not yet been ap-
pointed.
OTHER DISTRICT BUSINESS.
Quite a little grist of District business
Senate amendments. The first of these
was that defining the standard size and
shape of dry measures In the District,
which the Senate amended so as to defeat
the intent of the bill as passed by the
House motion of non-concurrenc was
agreed to, and it is expected that Messrs.
Curtis of Iowa, Mines and Cobb of Mis-
souri will be named as conferees.
The bill to provide for the reassessnent
of water main taxes was all stricken out
in the Senate and all OF the original bill
returned to the House was the enactng
clause. Non-concurrencc was directed, and
Messrs. Hplick, Babcock and Richardson
were appointed couferees.
The bill amending those sections of the
Revised Statutes relating to the disposal
OF property in the ha nds of the police au-
,horities was returned with nothing but
an amendment changing the phraseoloGy,
which was agreed to.
