politics.

Washington. Feb 23-1The naval APP
preparation bill encountered opposition
on the Republican side of the house.
Burton of Ohio. chairman of the rir-
ers and harbors committee, announced
in Il vigorous speech TINT he could not
support bill Which declares that the
United States. which in his view should
be the leader in all works for peace,
is going to double, treble and quad
ripple It's naval establishnent-al un.
der the assertion that it is done for
peace. He questioned the need of so
great a navy as the bill contempiates.
Secs No Nation Threatening Us.
He asked what was the necessity
Of so great navy; what nation was
threatening and what nation was at
lacking US, and what nation had ques-
toned the control Of the United States
over the Philippines? Turning to the
Spanish war he declared there was
ample opportunity for foreign powers
to have formed combina tons against
the United States ii they had so de-
sired, but no such action had been
taken. The facts is" said Burton,
''that the United States does not need
a large navy unless there shall be n
combination of all Europe with their
nayies against this country"
Speak. of an .Appnlilng Change
In such an event, he continued. this
country could not provide sufficient
naval force without q change that
would be absolutely, appalling a
change in the social condition. I'VE
could not build navy like that Of
Great Britain without changing the
whole framework of our society" he
said. As Burton proceeded he received
the attenuonof both sides of the house,
and was applauded frequently on the
minority side.

meaning by separating statement or

bate was quite warm, but it came TO
an end with the two senators express

the question of fact unsettled.

Vote for THE Treaty.

No Gore spilicd-Massachusett Senator 70
Vote for the Treaty.
Washington, Feb. %. Hoar Of
Massachusetts, closed a speech in the
senate with the declaration that he
would vpte for the Panama treaty, be-
lieving that the ratification would be
accomplished without any faint of ma
tional dishonor, and he experienced the
satisfaction Of feeling that he had
done something to put the transaction
on that level. In the course of his
remarks, Hoar made complaint of q
speech made by Foraker In criticism
of his previous address, and when Hour
concluded Foraker In reply said that
IL he had on the former occasion mis-
understood Hoar, he was not the only
senator who had done SO.
Foraker quoted passages from
Hoar's former speech in Justification Of
his Interpretation, and referred to the
fact that Hoar in his first speech had
quoted number of official kilograms
bearing on the situation in Panama,
declaring the conclusion that the Unit
cd States had encouraged the Pana-
ma revolution and then had taken the
spoils.
Hoar evidently was nettled by the
statement, and he interrupted Foraker
to say thai this was not his conclu.
sion, but the conclusion OF others, and
that he had mentioned the fact On
the contrary he had spoken in praise
OF the president. Foraker said the
Massachusetts senator had spoken in
terms of praise of the president. Abut

with the senator's Interpretation of the
kilograms. and that in the face of what

that it means that this country is go

the Aionroe doctrine is in no danger

Powers Of Massachusetts, replying
briefly to Burton, asked Burton what
could have been done for Cuba had
this country not expended money for

not to be construed to mean that work
should be brought 10 standstin on
ships under construction. or that the
navy should not be maintained. but
what he did mean wastha there should
