Proposed to Appropriate That Amount
for the National Defense.

Washington, March chairman
mittee. to-day introduced a bill enti-
tied, Making appropriations for the
national defense" 1t is as follows:
That there is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated fer the na,-
tional defense and for each and every
purpose connected Herewith, to be
expended at the discretion of the
President, and to remain available I'M
til June so, 1899, fifty million dollars
1t was referred to the committee On
appropriations.
Mr.. Cannon had All interview with
the President this morning. and at Its
conclusion went to the capitol anG
called a special meeting of the appro-
priations committee After this meet
ing Mr.. Cannon introduced the ma
tional defense bill in the House. The
appropriations committee will meet
tomorrow.
The Cannon bill, it was learned later
was the outcome of a conference held
at the White House this morning. at
which Mr. Cannon, Secretary Long
MI. DlnSley, SeHdlOI AlllSOn duu 1eb.
Grosvenor were present. The situa-
tion was considered so grave that it
was deemed imperative that an i'm
mense appropriation of this character
should be made at once TO prepare
for the national defense. The bill viii
be pressed in the House at once. This
can be stated on the highest author
ity.
Mr.. Cannon says he simply intro
duced the bill in his individual carac-
ity as a Representative. This is, Of
course, true, but it can be stated posi-
lively that the bill was introduced as
the result of the conference with the
President and the Republican leaders
OF both houses and that the bill has
the Presidents approval. The bill will
be considered at the postponed meet
ing of the appropriations committee
tomorrow. and probably reported for
immediate action Several Demo-
cratic members of the committee say
they will vote for it if the President
deems it necessary and so far as
known. there will be no vote against
It.

A NEW PUMP NEEDED.

At its meeting tonight Council
should unquestionably o X the request
of the Water Board that authority be
given to erect new pump at the wa
ter works.
The Water Board probably does not
need this authority to do the work,
for it will involve no appropriation by
Council, but will be paid for out of the
fund at the Boards disposal. but the
members of the Board very proper
ly decided to make the matter a pub
lie one, let the people know all about
it and have their action sanctioned by
Council.
The urgent need for the Improvement
is obvious at glance. We now have
two pumps with a total capacity of
100000 gallons day, while the city S
daily maximum consumption of water
is II 100000 gallons. These pumps
might suffice if we had a reservoir ca
pable of holding several days supply
Of water in case one of the pumps
should break down or get out of order,
as they are liable to at any moment.
But our reservoir capacity is but A.

A SHlPYARD,
Like That of the Cramps, May fe
Built for Russia---Preparing for
trouble With Japan.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March Tine
North American this morning publish
es the following:
while the attention of the pubic
during the recent war scare has been
for the present time diverted from the
Cramp shipyard to League Island, yet
il is safe to assert that the kenslng-
ton firm of shipbuilders is at this mo-
ment on the eve of securing foreign
contract of sensational proportions.
Although the members of the firm
maintain the utmost secrecy on the
subject. yet it is a fact that Turing
the week just past a force Of draughts-
men have been working on plans ana
estimates almost continually.
THE plans and estimates, it is said,
are being drawn up for the considera-
ton of a foreign power and include
first-class shipyard such as operated
by Cramps, besides several battleships
and cruisers.
Although the name of the foreign
power is being kept a secret, it is gem
orally understood by those in posi-
ton to know that the plans and esti-
mates will eventually find their way
to Russia This is the more readily
apparent in view of the fact that all
signs on the European horizon point
conclusively to a war between Japan
and Russia in the near future.
Japan realizes that Russia is MAX
ing dangerous Entertainments in Chi
ma. where she herself should enjoy the
fruits of victory Russia, on the other
hand. will not recede, hence war with
Japan seems inevitable.'

President Mckinley is to be COM
mended for his prompt and sturdy ac-
ton in at once declining to consider
SPANS demands that CONSUL Cen
eral Lee be recalled and that the Gu
ban relief supplies be sent in mer-
ehantmen instead of warships.
The effect of the Presidents exhibit
ton of backbone has had its effect
and Spain has already withdrawn her
demand for Gen. Lees recall, while
the government at Washington has
decided to use in transporting Cuban
supplies the dispatch boat Fern, which,
however, is no concession to Spain,
for the Fern is a war vessel. 1t is
simply better adapted TO the purposes
than the Nashville and the Montgom-
cry.
1t is nerve and determination in a
crisis like this that counts. 1t not
only gives the possible enemy to I'M
derstand that "bluffing" will not be
the executive among our own people
that he will do the right, the honora-
BILE and the brave thing at the proper
time. And this counts for very much.
The whole country to-day stands sol
idly behind President Mckinley. and
in that array no party or sectional
lines are known.
While some of the members of the
Presidents cabinet have been indis-
Greet and have exhibited lack of
proper appreciation of the urgent re-
quirements of the situation-we refer
especially to Secretary Longs refer
ence to the case the other day and to
his lamentable failure to promptly pro-
vide our feet with ammunition-the
administration as a whole has done
all that could be expected of it and has
pushed preparations for active hos
tilities with commendable promptness
and vigor. and it is these qualities and
decisiveness that are required in such
emergencies. 1t is weakness, indie
cision and vacillation that do the dam
age They inspire tie enemy with
courage and aggressiveness while they
take the heart out Of our own people,
make them distrustful of their leau-
ers and disrupt them

NEW YORK, March THE starboard
turret of the Maine is found to have been
blown clear of the ship. says the Havana
correspondent of the Herald. The turret
now lies upturned on its side and sunk in

ton from port to starboard.

made a careful inspection of the wreck.
He was de tailed TO this duty because of
his perfect familiarity with all portions of
the vessel. Though Helms has not made
an official report or appeared before the
court of inquiry since a week ago. it is
understood that he has privately confirm
ed the statements of Ensign Powellson,

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GO WEST.

New York, March I. - The war
scare throughout the country is
draining the New York banks of
the great balances which the country
banks keep here at interest when not
needed for the cropmoving period. In
times of commercial activity this sum
reaches into the hundreds OF millions.
Since the strained relations With
Spain, however, there has been a
steady withdrawal, Chicago and st.
Louis banks alone frequently taking as
much as 81, 000,0O0 a day. During the
week which closed yesterday the de-
crease in deposits were $50. 1873, 900, the
heaviest in the history of New York
banking
In the mean time, however, New
York bankers continue to call home
the S100. COO, 600 which Europe owes the
United States on a balance Of trade.
They are insisting upon prompt pay
ment of this enormous balance in or
der that they may be able to fortify
themselves against every demand in
event of war and to have ample funds
to buy government bonds if the open
ing of hostilities should render such
an issue expedient and necessary.
