The London Times says. with reference
to the international chess match by cable:
An early challenge for a return match
may be anticipated. The present contest
will do excellent service in calling atten-
tion to the fact that the English players are
out of practice. The conditions were too
exciting to prodece the best play. The
principal games we're long and faulty.
Terrible gales occurred yesterday in the
west of England and in Ireland. The

DOCKS AND CRUISERS
The House Committe. Decides to Provide for
Naval lmprOyemeuts

naval improvements
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Three new dry
docks are to be built at Algiers Island,
La. Mare Island. CAL, and Portsmouth,
N. H., will be provided for in the naval ap.
propiation bill, in accordance with a vote
taken by the house committee today. The
committee spent most of the afternoon dis.
cussing the advisability of authorizing new
docks, the question being presented by the
motion made by MIR. Meyer of Louisiana
for dock at Algiers, near New Orleans.
When Mr.. Meyers project was put to
vote it carried with seven members sup
porting the item and five opposing it. 1t
had been amended, however, by the mo-
ton of Mr.. Hilborn OF California. that the
the Mare Island dock item be added, and
on motion of Bouteile for the addition of
the Portsmouth dock, the view of the COM
mittee being that all sections should be
treated alike.
The cost of the Algiers deck is limited to
100000 and the two others to 1925 900.
The expenditure in the fiscal year for
which the bill provides is to be 100000
on each dry dock.
Tomorrow the committee will deal with
the question of the increase of the navy.
1t is predicted that the rigid economists,
who desire the bartleships TO be limited to
two in number, and the advocates of six
ships, will compromise on four.

English Comment on the Salisbury.
Olney correspondence.


London. July a0.-The Daily News. Lib
era. has an editorial discussing the cor
rpspondSncs between the United States
and British governments on the subject
Of an arbitration treaty. In which Il asks:
why not enbo5y the points Of agreement
already arrived az in the Osney Salisbury
negotiations IN q treaty, trusting 20 the
future for still further agreement We
are convinced that the Americans do not
approve OF Mr.. Olney refusing the half
because he is unable 70 get the whole
loaf II vii be worth while for Lord
Salisbury 70 make as many concessions as
possible in order 10 attain such desirable
object"
The Daily News also publishes an inter-
view on this subject with Rigat Hon.
James Bryce, Liberal member OF parlia-
men; for the south division OF Aberdeen,
and well known as the author OF The
American Commonwealth. Mr. Bryce
thought the difficulties In the way OF an
agreement were In no way insoluhle- Lord
Salisbury. he said. had been over-eautious
and rmid In the negotiations He sees
dangers that really do not exist His pro-
posai 10 exclude matters Affecting the
honor and integrity OF the nation would
seriously cripple the usefulness OF tri-
bunaI. Mr. Bryce thought that even terri
torial disputes might be submitted. He
would no: say that he agreed with Mr..
Olney or that ne did not with Lord Sails
bury. but he certainly thought Lord Sails
bury had acted as though general
scheme OF arbitration and not one solely
between England and the United States
was being arranged. Mr.. Bryca thinks
the proposal OF joint commission Of arhi-
traflon for the Venezuela dispute would
find a solution even OF the settled lands
in question. He believes that the press-
dental contest will not prevent or delay
the conclusion OF treaty. but Sill he
would Ike 20 see Lord Salisbury push the
negotiations.
The Chronicle, liberal. says. Without
desiring 10 appear In the least an alarm
ist. we believe that the opamist views
prevailing here as 10 the settlement OF the
Venezuelan dispute are not shared by off,
ctaf circles IN the limited States"
