greater part of the senate session the

under consideration. The naval ap.
preparation bill occupied the attention
OF the house. Mr.. Dayton of West

Strengthening our naval battle line
and others strongly advocated the
building of war ships in the govern
ment navy yards. The debate took
a wide range at times.
Washington, May 16.-An effort was
made by Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets in the senate to induce the mi
nority to fix the time when a vote
might be taken on the Philippine gov
eminent bill, but Senator Dubois of
Idaho, speaking for the democrats,
did not desire to specify the date
for vote. Senator McLaurin of
Mississippi concluded his speech in
opposition to the present Philippine
policy. The senate passed the bill pro-
viding for an additional judge in the
eighth judicial circuit, also the bill
marking food and dairy products as
to state or territory in which they
are made or produced and the bill
regulating interstate commerce in
falsely branded goods In the house
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois and Mr. Hep,

by criticising the extent to which
