NAVAL BILL PASSES


by Unanimous Vote.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 2s.-The
naval appropriation bill finally passed
the house this afternoon. after four
days OF acrimonious debate. most OF
which was spent upon the question OF

scheme inaugurated by the approprta-
ton of half 4 million In the last naval
bill and the proposition to increase the
maximum price to be paid for armor

itlng It TO $500. Upon both propositions
the naval committee suffered signal de-
fcats. The amendment to build great
armor plant was ruled on; upon 4 point

In which! the price 10 be paid for ar
mo: was cut down from s5t5. the price
which the committee insisted was being
paid FOR the new krupp armor, to s4i5.
and n prov!so was also added preclud-
ing the government from paying more
than was paid by any other foreign
government for similar armor. When
thefb Dill was reported to the house, Mr..

whole on the naval academy and armor
plate amendments, but In both cases he
was defeated. motion 10 reconmit the

Another victory over the committee
was secured by the adoption OF pro-
vision to the naval bill creating the
rank Of admiral of the navy. This was
accomplished by Mr., Moody, (Mass.).
who offered n copy OF the senate bill
creating this rank as an amendment 10
the naval bill The amendment was
clearly subject TO the point OF order
against 1t raised by Mr. Boutclle. but
the sentiment Of the house was SO ap-
parently unanimous In favor OF the
amendment that he withdrew the point
OF order and It was adopted w!thou. n
dissenting vote. The naval committee
had amended the senate bill so as to
also create the rank OF Vice admiral,
but Mr.. M5ody's amendment was the
