DISCUSSING NAVAL BIII
Facilities of Government Yards Prais
ed by Several Speakers.

Yesterday practically the entire day in
the House was spent in discussing the ma
val appropriation bill.
The Brooklyn navy yard is in Mr. Fitzser-
AIDS district, and in the course OF his speech
he explained the fine equipment Of that
yard for the construction of warships
comparing this with the meager equipment
Of private yards which do a large amount
or government construction.
Mr.. Metcalf (Cal.) presented comparisons
between contract and repair work done in
government and in private yards showing
better results and less cost in the govern
ment establishments.
Mr.. Elliott Is. c. made an extended
speech in support of the proposed Appa-
lachian forest reserve.
Mr.. Rhea Va) devoted his attention to
the Philippine question, severely arraign-
ing the administration for the present pol
icy, and in particular criticising some Of
the recent methods of warfare against the
islanders.
Mr.. Maynard (Va.), who represents the
district embracing both the Norfolk navy
yard and the Newport News shpbuilding
plant, spoke in strong support of govern
ment construction. He asserted that the
hundred millions in government yards rep
resented an enormous investment which
yielded only pitiful return in repair work
The naval bill then was laid aside. The
conference report on the Cuban diplomatic
and consular bill was agreed to- and at $50
pm. the House adjourned.
