TAR HEEL NAVAL MILITIA DROP OUT.
Not Able to Muster Enough Men to go on
Practice Cruise.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Washington. May 2S.-Assistant Secre
tary Hackett is informed that the Cruiser
Prairie arrived yesterday at Brunswick,
Ga, after a successful cruise with the
Georgia Naval Militia. According to the
original plan the Prairie was next TO have
gone to Wilmington, n. c., to take tn"
naval militia Of that State out on
weeks practice at sea, but this purpose
has been abandoned because of the notiii-
cation of the North Carolina militia that
they have not been able TO get sGlti-
cient number of men together for the
drill, and consequently do not care to
make the cruise The naval militia OF
Virginia which was the next organiza-
tion to drill, according to the original
schedule, also has withdrawn it's accept
ance of the Departments offer The con-
sequence of these Withdrawals is that
months time is lost in the seasons pro-
gram. and there will be no practice cruises
from now until June 22nd next when the
Pennsylvania Naval militia will embark
on the Prairie at Philadelphia.

WELLINGTON SPEAKS FOR THE Bo ERs
Rouses Lodge by Reference to Secret Under
standing Retwsen United States and England,
lBy the Associated Press.


Washington, May 2S.-In the course of
a speech in favor of the adoption OF
resolution expressing the Senate's SYM
pathy for the Beers today, Mr.. yelling
Ton (MdD referred to a secret under
standing between the United States and
Great Britain When Mr. Lodge (Mass.)
demanded proof that such an understand
ing existed, Mr.. Wellington said that, in
the circumstances. it was difficult to pre-
sent tangible proof, but he believed the
proof could be found in the secret ar
chves of the State Department. Mr..
Lodge replied that under our form of
government no such understanding could
exist, and as the Secretary Of State had
emphatically denied the existence OF any
alliance or understanding, he believed
the country would accept the statement
as true.
The reading of the Sundry Civil Appro-
priation Bill was completed, but not all
Of the committee amendments have been
disposed of. A lively debate was preci-
Ditated over the proposition to continue
the life Of the Industrial Commission un-
til October 31st 1901. Charges were
made that the commission was being
used as q Republican campaign machine
and that important testimony had been
suppressed The committee amendment
however, was agreed to.
Mr.. Hale presented partial report of
the conference report on the Naval APP
preparation Bill the armor plate question:
the course of instruction OF cadets at
Annapolis and insular coast surveys yet
being in dispute.
Mr.. Butler IN Co. inquired what had
been done about the proposition to au-
thorize the Secretary of the Navy If he
deemed it advisable, to move the Port
Royal naval station to Charleston.
MIR. Hale replied that it had been agreed
to by the conferees.
Mr. Butler objected to the report, in
sistine that the question of location ought
TO be left open, with view to securing
the best harbor on the Southern coast
for the station. He maintained that Will
mington was better harbor than Char
lesion.
Mr.. Clay (Ga) urged, too that the
question bel eft open, in order that Sa-
vannah's claim might be considered.
After some debate Mr.. Hale's motion
that the conference report be agreed to
was carried--35 to II.
THE ALASKAN BILL PASSED.

oution and bill reported by the judiciary
Committee would be considered Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday of this week
