NAVAL BILL PASSED.
Adjournment of the House Until
Monday,

The House of Representatives passed the
naval appropriation bill yesterday and ad-
journed until Monday. The provision relat-
ing to armor plate was disposed of in ten
minutes, proposition to decrease the price
agreed to in the bill from s4O0 to $500 per
ton being lost.
Mr.. Cannon during the course of the day
announced the belief of a majority of the
members that war would be upon within
a week, and Mr.. De Almond of Missouri
made a notable speech declaring that If
hostilities were to come it was our duty to
strike the first blow.
Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) at this juncture got
the floor, with speech that attracted
much attention. He called upon the ad-
ministra alton to take the aggressive. He de-
ciared that we should strike while We had
the advantage. War between nations was
not like contest between equally matched
gladiators The victory belonged in war to
the country that best and first prepared for
it and seeing farthest into the future struck
first where the blow would prove most ef-
fective.
After several hours of wrangling during
which all sorts of amendments were offered
and voted down and many speeches were
made, the vote was taken upon the Cannon
substitute to reduce the number Of battle
ships to one and to increase the torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers to twelve
of each. 1t was defeated-7s to 124.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) Offered an amend
ment appropriating s4.000,000 for the estab-
lishment Of government armor plate fac
tory. The amendment was ruled out on a
point of order.
This completed the bill, which was re-
ported to the House and passed. Then, al
pm, the House adjourned until Monday.
