HOUSE NAVAL COMMITTEE.
1T Fails to Settle the Dry Dock Cues
tiOn-COst of New Ships.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The naval
committee of the House did not reach any
conclusion to-day relative to the number
and location of the dry docks to be author
lied in the naval appropriation bill, which
is the main question left open. The general
opinion in the committee seems to favor
three or four new docks. The Bunce board
recommended new docks at Portsmouth.
N. H., Boston, Algiers, La, and Mare
island, California, and an enlargement OF
the dock at League island, Pennsylvania,
so that it will accommodate the largest
battle ship. The Pennsylvania delegation
is straining every nerve to secure an en-
tirely new dock at League Island. Docks
capable of accommodating battle ships
would have to have a depth of channel
leading to them of thirty feet, and Commo-
dore Matthews, of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks, who was summoned before the COM
mittee to-day, rather startled the committee
by his statements as to the depth of the
channel to at least one of the proposed
docks, that at Mare island, California. He
said the channel was not over twenty feet
for two miles, and that it would require
$500 600 to dredge it to the requisite depth
of thirty feet. The channel at Boston is
only tWenty-Seven feet, and the channel at
League island is about the same depth;
This complexities matters considerably, and
when the committee adjourned to-day little
progress toward a conclusion had been
made.
The committee has decided that one of
the three battle ships it decided to author
ize yesterday shall be built on the Pacific
coast. These great war vessels, which are
to be the peers of any afioat, are to cost
S6,0OOO00 each instead of $5,000,0OO, as re-
ported yesterday.
Chief Engineer Melville appeared before
the committee to-day and urgently recon-
mended an increase of one hundred in the
engineer officers of the navy. He said such
an increase was imperatively necessary in
view of the number of ships about to go
into commission These additional en-
gineers, if authorized, would have to be
appointed from civil life.
Representatives Russell, Hill and Sperry,
of Connecticut, were before the committee
to oppose the recommendation of the Ord
nance Bureau for, the. establishment of a
government cartridge factory. The bureau
recommended an appropriation of $4,000 for
this purpose. The business of manufactur-
ing cartridges is a large industry in Con-
necticut and Rhode Island. and the repre-
sentatives from those States oppose prop
osition for a government cartridge factory
as menace to their own industries.

HIS VOICE FOR AMERICA.
Archbishop Ireland Gives NOtre Dame
Students u Stirring TnIL.

NOTRE DAME, Ind, March 12.-The stu
dents and faculty of Notre Dame Uni
versity gave up day to the welcoming of
the Most Rev. John Ireland, archbishop of
st. Paul. The senior class selected one OF
it's number to deliver a short address of
well-wishing, and a short musical pro-
gramme was hastily arranged. The arch
bishop, after all was finished, then spoke a
few words of thanks. The subjects of his
brief speech were the two words Catholic
and American" which meant nothing more
through his discourse than patriotism
He praised first of all the valiant priests
of Notre Dame that went into the war Of
1861 He said:

their duty to do But the love for ones
country must be stronger and the more

claims upon her 0he churchs) allegiance
as America. The word America sums up
the highest gifts of civilization. 1t sums up
the sweetest gifts of Providence to human
society-civil and political liberty without
STAIN"
These words seemed to arouse the spirit
of the young Americans. whose applause
showed well their allegiance. The arch
bishop continued: II do not suppose that
we are advancing rapidly at the present
time to the days of war. but / am sure that
the spirit of religion and patriotism that
dominated Notre Dame in 1861 dominates it
in 1898, and should there be war ! will take
1t upon myself to say without contradic-
ton that the response at Notre Dame would
be so quick to save America that she would
send her priests as chaplans and, so far
as years would permit, her students as sol
diers."
This brought the thrill of patriotism and
pride to the highest pitch, and it found re-
lief in thunders of applause The speaker
eXhorted the young men to hold allegiance
to their country not only because they werc
Americans but because their religion COM
manded them TO do so. The spirit so aroused
still is strong among the students, and

larity at Notre Dame.
