1t Provides for Two BattIeships and
Six Cruisers-NO Price for ArmOr.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The animated
controversy over the naval appropriation
bill, which began yesterday, was resumed
to-day, and after brief consideration this
important bill was passed.
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, whose fill
buster had brought affairs to a temporary
standstill. explained that there was no pur-
pose to delay but merely to insist that
time be given for consideration, and that a
vote be taken on the government armor
factory proposition. Mr.. Vandiver sub
mitted this proposition in a motion to re-
commit the bill. with instructions to the
naval committee TO frame a provision for a
government factory. The instructions were
ruled out and subsequently the motion to
recommit was disagreed to without divi-
sion. The bill was thereupOn passed with
out a record vote. AS finally adopted the
measure provides for two battleships, three
armored cruisers and three protected
cruisers. The $545 figure on armor is
stricken out.
After p. m. the House devoted itself to
eulogies on the late Representative Settle,
of Kentucky.
