formation obtained is so full and specific
as to render further investigation and in
quiry unnecessary, especially in view Of
the fact that the alleged frauds in connec-

DISPUTE BETWEEN coNFEnEEs.
Many Items of Difference In the Naval
Bill.

A rather unusual deadlock is in progress
on the three submarine boats Of the naval
bill. The House conferees decline to report
disagreement, holding that the Senate
must first pass on the matter. The Senate
conferees are equally insistent. Much per-
sonal feeling has been excited with intima-
ton that the naval bill would be allowed
to fail. Owing to the lively character OF
the controversy. Mr.. Foss the senior House
conferee. who has been sick at home, has
determined to come to the Capitol and re-
inforce the House contention against the
boats. There are fourteen items in the bill
still in dispute.
