TIRED OF CHEESE.
Mr.. Sherman endeavored to go on
with the filed cheese bill, but Mr.. Vest
objected, stating that he was tired of
having this filled cheese bill thrust
forward constantly.
Mr.. Vest said the bill could be de-
feated by filibuster, but this would
not be resorted to.
The partial report on the naval ap-
preparation bill covering all questions
except the item of battleships and the
price of armor plate, was agreed to and
on the question of further conference
Mr. Chandler took the floor.
He urged that it made little differ
ence whether four battleships were or
dered now, or Two now and two next
year. Mr.. Chandler referred to some
criticism made by Mr.. Mills course in
advocating the freedom of Cuba and
yet voting to reduce the number of
battleships.
IF these ships can be used for the
independence of Cuba interposed Mr..
Mills. 81 will vote for four, five or
six of them
Mr.. Lodge (Rep) of Massachusetts
urged that the senate should recede
from its amendment on battleships
and agree TO the four provided for by
the house. The
UNITED STATES STOOD ALONE.
This was apparent, he said, in the
such circumstances we should be in a
position TO command peace. There
would never be the slightest danger of
war, unless through the weakness OF
our navy ard the defenseless condi-
ton of our coasts.
Mr. Quay Rep9 of Pennsylvania
moved to recede from the senate
amendment reducing Inc NUMBER OF
battleships to two.
An extended debate as to the cost
of armor plate was participated in by
Senators Quay, Bacon, Chandler and
Tillman.
Mr.. TilEman spoke in his breezy style
He said he did not object to the law
providing that all armor must be OF
American make, but he objected tc
having the American concerns rob
the government He wanted to SEE
whether those companies could take
the government and congress by the
throat The vote on receding from
the senate amendment limiting the
price of armor would show the power
of these ''armor robbers, I" He declared
that the investigation of armor frauds
two wears ago was shifted into the
senate in order to kill it.
"Have we attorneys here?" asked
Mr.. Tillman, locking around the sen
ate. Have we a lobby here2 Have
we senators interested in seeing these
contracts given out? 1 only ask the
question; l don't know
A vote on Mr. Quay's motion was
not reached, but an agreement wa:
made to vote at / o'clock tomorrow.
At 6:15 the senate adjourned.
