THE FEATURE of the session of the
House of Representatives yesterday was
the speech delivered by Mr.. Rixey, who
represents this district, in opposition tC
the extravagant expenditures ofthis gov
eminent in building ships for the navy.
He could only get thirty minutes time
in which to present his arguments, but
he made a most forcible speech, which
was listened to with the closest attention
as Mr.. Rixey has for some years been
the senior democratic member of the
committee on naval affairs, and is re-
garded as the best informed man on the
democratic side on matters pertaining
TO the naval establishment. Mr.. Rixey
in his speech showed that he has made
the subject he treated close study, and
his arguments we're virtually incontrovert-
ible. The cry for an increased navy is
egged on by those who make millions
out of the construction of war vessels.

Dangerous Individual.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Edward Relgar,
whose persistent efforts TO see President
Roosevelt resulted in his arrest at the
White House, is known in Chicago. p.
S. Whiting says the man is his nephew,
Frank Coe, and is dangerous. Accord
ing to Mr.. Whiting, Coe or Relgar, has
been suffering from mental trouble, the
result of fall sustained IA years ago.
Mr.. Whiting also said: "Three years
after that Coe was sent to the detention
hospital in Toledo, but he was soon dis
charged and went TO Springfield, Ohio.
He worked there until four years ago,
when one morning he shot his wife and
himself. His wife died but he recovered
and was sent to the penitentiary for one
year, after which he was sent to the in
sane asylum at Toledo again. He es-
capped and went to New York, coming
to Chicago over year ago. Late in
March, 1903, Coe wrote to me saying be
was going to Washington to get a bill
passed to revolutionize the spelling of
proper names. am sure it was my
nephew who attempted to get the spell
ing Of the Presidents name changed"

The Kaiser's Ambition.

Manchester, Eng, Feb. "a tele-
gram from a London correspondent Of
the Dispatch says: 81 have received posi-
tive information that the character ofthe
affection in the Kaiser's throat is really
malignant" Commenting on the infor'
nation the correspondent sees in it pos
sibilities which will affect the world. He
says, in his opinion world danger lies
in the Kaiser's desire to realize his am
bition before he dies. This ambition will
probably take the direction of Selling the
present opportunity to realize his long
cherished desire to Germanize the world.

War Fleets Concentrating.

Constantiuople, Feb. 23.-Great &C.
tivity prevails among the vessels of the
Russian Black Sea feet and at tho dock
yards of Seyastopol and Odessa. 1t is
also stated that British warships are con-
centrating along the Greek archipelago.
This activity, it is believed, is not due
to Russia's desire to take her feet east,
but rather preparations by both powers
to be in position to take a strong line in
the event of Balkan crisis.

A DISPATCH from Richmond states
+hot there is serious talk there of extend

DAVIS after the expiration of the regular

constitution, should the legislature re-
main in session beyond the regular time,
the members must serve without pay,
and modern Legislators are seldom guilty
of such indiscretions; perish the thought

Wall of water Stops Spread of Flames.

New York, Feb. 23.-The explosion
of three tanks containing nearly five
million cubic feet of gas and the enor-
nous loss of life and property which
wonld result from such catastrophe
was averted today in novel manner.
Flames from burning factory opposite
the gas tanks were blown against the
huge receptacles until it was feared that
any moment they would explode. To
prevent this, Chief Croker built a wall
Of water between the tanks and the fire
and averted disaster. After the fire had
been burning for some time the whole
front wall suddenly shot out into the
street, and many fremen narrowly es-
capped being buried in the ruins. When
the wall fell, the flames swept across the
street and Tapped up against the sides of
the heavily charged and thin iron tanks,
and it was found that they had already
become so hot that the water was turned
into steam. If one tank went, all
would undoubtedly 90 and the
conclusion would be so great that
every building within mile or more of
the spot would be RACED to the ground.
Chief Croker then ordered all streams Of
water away from the burning building,
which was now hopeless wreck, and
so concentrated them, with the nozzles of
several watertowers, that when the nozzles
were elevated they formed a huge and
perfect curtain or wall of water in the
centre of the street. This curtain was 50
long and so high that it completely
blanketed the fire from the gas tanks.
Gradually the fire was burning itself out
and in half an hour the great danger was
past. The damage is roughly estimated
at $500. 600.

CAPTAIN NIcoL, of the French cruiser
Pascal, who was at ChemulPo, Korea,
at the time of the recent naval battle in
which the Russian cruisers Variag and
Korietz we're sunk by Japanese cruisers,
in his account of the battle says:
The foreign naval authorities in the
harbor twice protested against the course
OF Admiral Uriu, he Japanese COLI
mander, claiming that his course was a
violation of Korea's neutrality. The
Russians, however, against the advice of
these officials, twice went out to unequal
combat against six japanese cruisers,
and eight destroyers. The Russian
sailors went TO their death like heroes.
This is the evidence of disinterested
witness and shows that the Russian
sailors are worthy the steel of any foe.

Fifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 20.
SENATE.

In accordance with the agreement
reached yesterday, the Senate met at II
O'Clock this morning, and, after the in
PRODUCTION of few petitions and reports
from committees, morning business wa:
laid aside on motion of Mr.. Teller and
the consideration of the Panama treaty
was resumed. Mr.. Bacon took the floor
to explain his position. He said he did
not like the way in which the Panama
revolution had been accomplished and
was not satisfied with the action of the adj
ministration in connection with it; but be-
cause the people of Georgia were anxious
to have the canal begun as soon as pos
sible he proposed to vote for the treaty.
Mr.. Berry, of Arkansas, who followed,
said that if by the defeat of the treaty
it would be possible to restore the former
conditions in Colombia he would vote
against it. But this being impossible
he would support it. Mr.. Teller opposed
the treaty because he believed lock
canal feasible, and said that it would
not be satisfactory, but he wished to an
nounce that when the treaty had been
ratified he would DO all he could to aid
in the proper and rapid construction OF
canal.
Mr.. Simmons, (dem. N. o. declared
that he had not changed his views AND
reiterated his intention of voting for the
treaty.
The Senator denied the declaration
made in Chicago by ex-Secretary Of War
Root that votes in favor of the canal
treaty were defense and vindicstion Of
the Presidents policy toward Panama
and Colombia. eff Endorsement of the
Presidents policy was in direct issue, +"
he said, "the canal treaty would be de-
foated overwhelmingly. If there was sin
in the Panama revolution Mr.. Root was
largely responsible for its existence"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Simmons
remarks, at 1890 O. clock, the galleries
were ordered cleared and the doors closed.
Consideration of the Panama canal
treaty upon which vote is to be taken
before adjournment was begun.
In executive session the consideration
of amendments to the treaty was begun,
at once, but they were voted down.
Senator Morgan then proceeded to
make long speech outlining his oppo-
sition to the treaty generally.
The Senate ratified the Panama treaty
at p. m. The vote was sc to IA.
HOUSE.
In committee of the whole the House
today resumed consideration of the naval
appropriation bill. The reading of the
bill for amendments, begun yesterday,
was continued.
Mr.. Fitzgerald (dem. N. W offered
an amendment appropriating $3v, 900 for
improvement in the New York navy
yard. He attacked the House naval
committee, saying that it exemplifed the
Cohesive power Of public plumber"
more than any other committee Of the
House.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's amendment having
been defeated, he offered another. APP
81, 500, 900 for the improve
ment of the New York navy yard,
which was also defeated.
