MONEY FOR COAL.
Secretary Long Recommends an ADJ
dition of 100000 to the Deficiency
Appropriation Bill.

Washington, March T. - Secretary
Long sent to Congress to-day for in
clusion in the urgent deficiency bill,
an estimate OF an appropriation OF
500. 900 to be Immediately available
for the equipment OF vessels in the
navy for the present fiscal year, and
for the immediate supply of 10000 tons
of coal to Key West, The report ac-
companying the estimates shows the
bunker capacity of the ships of the
navy in the vicinity of Dry Tortugas
and Key West is about 12.0AA tons;
and the storage capacity OF the coal
sheds at Key West is II 200 tons. The
larger vessels of the fleet, the Secre-
tary says, cannot approach nearer than
seven miles of Key West AT present
they coal from schooners at Tortugas
and at other places nearby when
weather permits. There is ono fiat
lighter with a capacity of 800 tons
now at Key West. This is not suita-
bic for use at any distance from the
port. The report concludes as follows:
THE bureau believes it for the inter-
est of the service that additional tenn
porary coal sheds should be construc-
ted on government land at Key West,
which will increase the stowage ca
pacity there up 70 10000 or $4,000 tons,
and that lighters be purchased which
may be towed anywhere within a ra-
dius of sixty miles of Key West
tAlso that at least 10000 tons of
coal be laid down at Key West ready
for an emergency The appropriation
for equipment for the present year is
inadquate for these purposes, and in
order that the bureau my be able to
execute the necessary contracts at
once, it is recommended that Congress
appropriate 100000 additional to be
immediately available"

WILL BE PROMPTLY PASSED.
No Doubt That the Senate viii Do Its Part
Towards Giving the President Emergency


Washington, March There is lit
tie doubt expressed among Senators
that the Cannon bill, appropriating
$4,000, GOO will be promptly considered
speedily passed when it reaches
the Senate. Many Senators express
the opinion that the most effective
method of dealing with the question
would be TO take up and pass the bill
Immediately upon its receipt in the
Senate without reference to commit
tee. Some of the members of the COM
chairman of the committee, expressed
themselves as satisfied to have the
measure take this course. but others
are OF the opinion that none of the
effect of the measure will be lost to
have the bill referred and reported in
the regular way. Senator Allison,
chairman OF the committee, expressed
the opinion that the bill should be re-
ferred, saying that the committee
would probably be able to report it
within twenty-four hours. few SEN
ators said that they did not consider
that the time had come for the actual
appropriation of money for prepara-
tion Of war, but they did not indicate
any intention to antagoniZe the pass
age of the bill or to seek to delay it,
Senators who favor the bill say it is
a peace and not a war measure, and
some expressed the opinion that it
would be more effective - it carried
$1G0, DOC, 600 instead of $50, 000,000
