Speak for Amendment.

Messrs. Cushman and Jones of Washing ton, spoke for the amendment. MT. Cush- man asked MT. Williams to reconcile his opposition with his own vote of a million dollars to destroy "cotton worms" In the south.
 MT. McDermott of New Jersey enter tained the house by five minute speech proposing that all the ships provided for in the bill be built in the state of New Jersey. New Jersey, he said, was one of the original thirteen states, and therefore more entitled to consideration than Call fornia.
 Tt is so situated he continued, that when you look from one side of 1t, you see the great city of New York New Jersey is so situated that when the great navy yard needed to construct these ships is built, the people of Pennsylvania. and New York can come there in the early morning and remain until the sum- mer's sun goes out of sight watching the progress being made on those ships. So you will have the eyes of three states looking upon these ships in the course of construction, to see that they are prop erly built Qaughter), while nobody but the Chinese can watch the progress of such work at San Francisco.
 Another Reason Given.
 There is another reason why these ships should be built. in New Jersey. It Is reason that appeals to economy and perhaps to charity. The receiver of the great shipbuilding trust is now a resident of New Jersey and its principal yard is there. What are you going to do when you find property owned by men who thirteen months ago were known as princes of finance, today lying prostrate {; boys Jumping over the machinery; the wood going to rot and the iron going to rust in the great Nixon shipyards in New Jersey.
 May I not then with a voice more pregnant than that which comes from California, appeal to you all, democrats and republicans, to come to the rescue of that trust and have your ships built there?'
 Long applause and laughter followed MT. McDermott's remarks. MT Humph- iey's amendment was defeated-76 to 3S
 An amendment was offered by MT. Rob- erts of Massachusetts, increasing the number of torpedo boats authorized from two to five but without acting on 1t the house at 5.05 D. m. adiourned

be built in government yards, one on the Pacific and one on the Atlantic coast.
 Mr Williams of Mississippi, favored constructing all of the smaller craft for the navy in government yards. The Bell amendment was modified to provide that one collier should be built in govern ment yard and was adopted.
 Mr. Humphrey of Washington, offered an amendment granting a preferential of 4 per cent in favor of Pacific coast bids for the construction of the ships author ized in the bill
 MT. Williams also declared himself greatly astonished that such a provision eyer had been carried in naval appropri- ation bill It was degeneration of reason and disease of imagination" developed by the republican policy of protection he de- clared, which could extend that protection to a local industry in one port of the Unit ed States against another part of the country.

HOUSE STILL HAS - UP THE NAVAL BILL Fight on the Measure is by No
 Means Over CRUISERS ARE DISCUSSED McDermott Makes Humorous Plea to Have All Vessels Built In New
 Jersey Instead of
 California.
CRUISERS ARE DISCUSSED

Washington. February 2E.-The building programme of the navy as contained ID the pending naval bill, occupied the at- tention of the house throughout the day and the fight is by no means over. The minority members of the naval commit tee, under the leadership of MT Meyer or Louisiana first gave their endorsement to the measure, are campaigning for re- duction in the number of ships to be au- thorized.
 The amendment to strike out the or dered battleship yesterday, made by Mr. Burton of Ohio, was defeated. The cruis- CTS were then put to the test and enough friends for them were found for their retention. The construction of the ships in government yards proved to be fruitful topic for discussion, and an amendment by MT. Pell of California, re- quiring one collier to be built in gov ernment yard was amended.
