chase of Army Plate for the
New Wmrships.

WISH NGTON. April f7.--Without pre-
liminary business, the house today resum-
ed consideration of the naval appropria-
tian bill.
Dayton CIV. Va, member Of the naval
committee, the first speaker, contended
that tho naval programme outlined IN the
bill was not an extravagant one. He said
1t was not as LIBERAL as 1t should have
been, and predicted that larger appropria-
tions would be required in the future. lie
opposed the building OF warships In gov
eminent yards.
wheeler (Ky) asked VI there was not a
lobby to defeat the proposition to build
ships In government yards.
Il never heard of such a lobby" replied
Dayton. "The only lobby / have seen
was the lobby of naval constructors. II IL
could be called a lobby urging In favor
OF the proposition | oppose"
Dayton also opposed the establishment
OF n government aTmor plate factory. The
government had as well so into production
OF any other production which It must
buy.
Nandever also member of the naval
committee. who signed the minority re-
port, advocated n government armor man
ufaetory and the building OF ships In sov-
eminent yards.
Fitzgerald IN. W argued in favor sof
building ships In government yards.
Wheeler lKy). u member of the naval
committee, concluded the debate for the
day He criticised severely the rule Of
the house which prohibited members from
making public on the floor what was done
and said behind COMMITTEES doors, and de-
clared himself in favor Of compelling COM
mittees TO open their doors TO the press
The most vicious legislation was Matched
behind closed doors, He had no inllnua-
ton TO make against the committee OF
which he Was q member, he said, but he
thought the practice a had one.
He also opposed. he said. the appoint
ment Of men with special interests to
serve on committees. Their desire to
serve their constituents he said out
weighed their duty to their county
Wheeler said he was opposed on conylc-
ton TO a government armor plate fac
tory and the building OF ships In govern
ment yards. but when Il came 20 surren-
cering some OF hts convl, lions or submit
ting TO highway robbery, he would lot
some OF the former 80. He was convinced
from what ne had been able 60 learn that
the profit Of arnor plate was from $50 to
2ou per cent Wheeler said he had In his
possession letter 70 prove that krupp ar
NOR could be produced cheaper than Har-
veyixed armpr bat he was not at liberty

Wheeler created sonnet hing Of scnsa-
ton by expressing the opinion that an o.

He did not name the officer, and was not
questioned as 20 whom he meant

THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey i'm Amer
lea and England Recommends
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

No jockey has ever appealed so strongly
TO public favor as Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his. most
noted predecessors ever attempted, and
stands in a class by himself.
Not satisfied with his successes IN his
native country. he went to England, and
now his fame as a successful horseman is
on the tin of every tongue not only in this
country and England. but In every section
of the glooe where racing has found favor.
When Tod first went 70 Engiand rls , te-
merity was openly laughed at. but the lit
tie American played sSittles with his Eng
fish rivals and his victories made all Eng
land gasp.
Having the stamp of royal approval. So
cfety both at home and abroad "ionize"
him, and he is feted and petted TO an ex-
tent that would turn an ordinary mortafs
head.
The great jockey was in such demand
socially and dined and wined to such an
extent that II was feared his healthwould
give way. Too much society anu the ner-
vous strain OF racing told on him.
A two weeks trip to America made him
acquainted with Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets and their remarkably restorative ef-
fects on a depleted digestive apparatus,
and he recommended them in unstinted
terms TO a friend. saying "Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are the best thing ! know
Of for keeping the stomach in condition
end appetite In good repair.
Thousands of former dyspeptics can
vouch for the truth 81 Tod Sloan's words,

come q HNusHlHiu NREA III AfftGlcdt ana
few families are without them. One or
two taken after meals keep the stomach
sweet by causing prompt and healthy d.
gestion Of the food.
Perfectly healthy people use them after
heavy dinners to keep their good health
and to make sure that no III effects win
follow an unusually hearty meal.
Your druggist will tell you, or your doc
tor, either. that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are composed only Of digestive fer
ments. Aseeptic Pepsin, Hydrastis, fruit
acids, etc, and for the strong stomach, as
well as the most delicate, constitute a
safeguard against Indigestion and stomach

Alaskan Bill Resumed.
Consideration was resumed OF the Alas
kan civil code bin, the pending question
being the amendment offered by Hans
brough as to alien location, holding and
transfer of mining claims, Srooner. in an
extended legal argument, vigorously OPP
posed the amendment. He maintained tina (
aliens had ample authority TO locate min
Ing claims In territories OF the United
States and pass a good title 10 them. He
protested against the proposition that
claims heretofore located and assigned to
American citizens by the locators should
be rendered nun and void by act OF con-
gress. and urged that matters In contro-
versy should be determined by the courts.
Carter, In charge OF the bill, announced
HIS opposition TO some portions OF the
Hansbrough amendment, and offered as a
substitute for It one which he said would
protect the citizens of the United States
in the location of mining claims and give
them the first right to locate them in the
territory OF the United States.
Without reaching conclusion the sem
ate went into executive session, ana at
