1t Is known positively that negotla-
tlons are In progress toward having the
United States acquire the two crack
cruisers now building for Japan. one
at the Cramp shlpyards at Philadei-
phla. and the other at the Union iron
works at San Francisco. The negotia-
tions naturally are clrcutous as there
are three parties in interest, namely.
the Japanese government. the United
States and the ship builders. There Is
good reason TO believe that terms could
be made between the United States and
the shipbuilders, and that SO far as
they are concerned In the transaction
II Is to be concluded without much fur
ther negotiation. But there Is no dis
position to ignore the rights of Japan.
While suggestions have been made that
the right Of eminent domain would per-
nit the United States to take the two
cruisers without reference 10 Japan's
rights, there Is no desire among officials
here to resort to such radical steps.
Moreover. It is said that such action
would be an international offense di-
rected against Japan, and an uRfriendly
act which this government Is not likely
to commit at this moment toward
friendly power.

In the whole debate there was onlv a
slight dlscordant note caused by the
speech of General Bingham, OF Penn
sylvania, a gallant soldier who served
with distinction under Hancock. He
spoke too conservatively for the arous-
ed temper OF the house and when he in
sisted that our relations with Spain
were as friendly as they had been for
years. many OF the members hIssed
him. While almost every member
spoke deprecated the possibility Of war
Wide divergence OF opinion as to how
close were hostilitles manifested itself
in the debate. The general contention
by the majority, among them the lead
crs on both sides, was that this appro-
priation by preparing for war. would
prove the surest guarantee OF peace,
Others insisted that wars alarms would
soon be heard and Mr. Mann. OF I'LL
nois, declared that war actually exist

attracted the most attention were those
OF Messrs. Cannon, Henderson and DOL
