House Takes Up Naval Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The house
Friday took up the naval personnel bill.
The last vestige of opposition to the
measure from the line officers of the
navy was removed when an amend
ment was adopted designed to prohibit
staff officers, upon whom the bill con-
fers positive rank, from exercising COM
mand save in their own corps. The
speeches on the bill were filled with
glowing illusions to the glories of our
naval victories in the late war and Mr.
Berry OF Kentucky created great deal
OF enthusiasm by his eulogy of Schley
as the hero of Santiago.
In this connection Mr. Berry read the
following poem amid a whirlwind of
laughter and applause:
When the Spanish fleet, with full headway
Dashed out of Santiago bay,
Taking the chances of death and wreck;
Who stood on Yankee quarterback
AND marked the game with eagle eye;
Say, was ii Sampson, or was it Schley?
Who was it when shot and screaming shell
Turned Sabbath calm into echoing hell?
Steamed into the thickest of the fray
His good ship leading all the way,
While the roar of his guns shook earth
and sky;
Say, was it Sampson, or,was it schley2
In American hearts, who holds first place
OF those Who claim part in the glorious
ckaseS
Whose name stood out on that proud day
As the Hero Of Santiago bay?
In letters of gold write that name on high;
Shall we write it Sampson OF write it

Discuss Nicaragua Canal Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Almost the
entire session of the senate Tuesday was
devoted to the consideration of the Mic.
aragua canal bill. Speeches were made
in support of the measure by Chiffon
and Turner and in opposition to it by
Spooner. At 3 o'clock consideration of
the bill under the 15-minute rule was
begun and was continued until the close
of the session. The first vote reached
was on an amendment offered by Raw
Inns, which, in brief, provided that the
United States should have absolute con-
troll of the canal for military or naval
purpose. with power to dictate the use
OF the waterway during the existence of
war. The friends of the pending bill
rallied against the amendment, and it
was defeated by the decisive vote of 3S
to 8. A provision was inserted in the
bill providing that no more than $5, ,OOO,-
600 should be paid the Maritime Canal
company for its concession and work al
ready done on the canal.

Sketch of His Career.

Mr.. Dingley was born in Durham,
Me, i'll 1882. His f ler was trader, not
particularly well-to-do, and the boy bent
himself to work at any early age. His
steadiness of purpose came from his old
Puritan stock. but his intellectual ability
came from his mother, woman Il -
Gated far beyond her station or the aver
age OF cultivation in those days She
was school teacher and brought all the
discipline and knowledge of her mind to
bear upon the training Of her son, and
he found her influence one of the great
est factors in his success. Hence, it was
quite natural when, in 1856, he found
an opportunity to secure the ownership
OF the Lewiston Journal, that he seized
it and at once forthwith begun to build
up business that has been wonderfully
successful.
When William P. Frye was elevated
to the senate Mr.. Dingley was sent to
congress. That was in 1881. Immedi-
ately the young statesman found the
seed which he had been sowing for so
many years was in congenial soil. All
he had gathered Of tariff knowledge,
financial facts and theories and of sys.
TENS of government had prepared him
for forging at once into congressional
circles.
For the ordinary manipulations of
politics Mr.. Dingley had no use what
ever. He paid no attention to prima-
ries or delegates. Every two years his
people renominated him by acclamation
in Republican district where nomina-
tion is equivalent to election.
Mr.. Dingley was not an orator. He
lacked the physical presence, the devel.
opment of throat and chest and quality
OF voice which make men orators.
None the less all the members listened
when he arose to speak. He had a
wonderfully lucid way OF asserting
facts, going at once to the heart of
every contested point.
