DEBATE ON NAVAL MEASURE
FITZGERALD SPEAKS AGAINST
 INCREASED NAVY.
half 9 mile

Declares There Is Conviction fn All
 Parts of the Country That Roosevelt
 Win Involve the County in War
 Presiden,'s Object Is to Have Larger
 Navy Than Germany.
 Washington, Feb. 19.-The house to- day began consideration of the naval appropriation bill, ten hours being al- lowed for general debate. During the general discussion MT. Fitzgerald, dem., of New York, declared that our naval programme was to procure 3. na- val force greater than that of Germany. He further said:
 Tn all sections of the country the conviction, rightly or wrongly, is firm that the present occupant of the White House is likely to involve us in war with some other nation," adding that the same belief had been had with re- spect to the head of another great na- tion, which may account he went on, flor the fact that at a dinner on Lin- coln's birthday at Grand Rapids, Mich, the highest compliment that Baron von Sternburg thought that he could pay to President Roosevelt was to declare that he very greatly resembled the Emperor of Germany"
 Mir. Fitzgerald said further that if the prevailing belief issjustified, and if the president is to be given four years of power in his own right, now that the great representative of the conservative force of the republican party, the late senator from Ohio (Mr. Hanna), is gone to his reward, it may be wise for us to outdo even Great Britain in our naval programme. Should he (the president) not be made to feel that the sentiment of the country is for peace, and not for strife?''
 MT Foss made an urgent appeal for the upbuilding of the navy. enphasiz- ing the necessity of ship construction in times of peace with the query
 What would Russia give to-day if she could call back some of her sunken ships?" He said in conclusion that when it became necessary for his government to strike it should be prepared to strike a blow like that struck by Dewey at Manila.
 MT. Foss was strongly seconded by Mir. Meyer, of Louisiana, the ranking democratic member on the committee, who combatted the statement that the navy was topheavy, as charged, and declared it indispensable that we should have 8. strong navy. Referring to the Panama canal he said he was for the canal and also for navy to safeguard if

That Death Was Due to Asphyxiation
 Mrs. canneid Is Now Seriously III
 Herself
 Bridgeport, Feb. 19-After thorough investigation by the police authorities and an autopsy by the medical examin- CT it has been officially decided that Joseph B. Garfield. superintendent of the Garfield Rubber company, and Vim da Anderson. a maid servant in the Canfield home at $40 Colorado avenue, me. their death early this morning by asphyxiation. Any suspicion which may have been held by the police that poisoning caused the deaths was dis pelled by the autopsies performed on the bodies. These autopsies showed no trace of poison. but on the other hand several evidences of asphyxiation were sound.
 Mrs. Garfield is no longer under sur veillance by the police. Her own condi- tion is more serious than was at first supposed, and tonight it was said that she was seriously i'll.
 The autoosies were performed late this afternoon, and the several physi- clans who assisted Assistant Medical Examiner Godfrey were of the unani- nous opinion that death had been caus- ed by asDhyxiation. There was not a si@n of poisoning in either bdoy. In each body evidence of asphyxiation of the kidneys and lungs was found. to- gether with a depression of heart action. Superintendent of Police Birmingham was notified of the medical examiner 8 report and he announced that so far as the police department was concerned the matter was ended. No further ac- ton would be taken by him, and the surveillance of the Garfield residence would cease immediately
 The arrangements for MT. Canfelds s Funeral will not be completed until his parents return from Florida tomorrow.
 Tonight it is said that the condition of Mrs. Canfield is quite serious. She is conscious only at periods, and her phy- sicians are not at all certain of her re- covery
 One incident in connection with the case has been cleared up. The police were undDle 10 understand why MT. Canaeld. who is well known locally as an athlete. should succumb to the coal gas fumes while his wife, who has not been in good health, should survive. It has been learned that MT. Canfeld did l not spend the entire night in his wife s room. He entered it late in the night complaining of the atmosphere in his own apartment The police now. believe that he inhaled great quantity of coal gas in his own room before entering his wise's apartment. The window in the latter room having been open eight inches the coal gas did not have the same effect on Mrs. Garfield as it did on her husband, the window of his room
 having been only slightly open from the 1 top.

Election Frauds in colorado Not Maim-
 Iy by Them.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Former Con- gressman John L. Shafroth, of Colora- do, who resigned his seat because of election frauds in Denver, denies that these frauds were committed mainly by women. In an interview to-day MT. Shafroth said:
 ''Of the persons implicated very few were women, not more than on in ten at the outside. The incident was not characteristic of the womens voting in Colorado, and it is preposterous to make it an argument against woman suffrage. In Colorado the women vote as generally as the men, and fraud is much rarer among them. As rule, their election methods are honorable, and the influence of woman suffrage upon the state has been distinctly for good"

RUSSIA ENDS CENSORSHIP

step Regarded in some Respects as the Most Important since the Emanolpa- ton of the serfs--Undsr Regime of Perfect Freedom to Foreign Press 1t 1. Belisvsd That Constant Under- ground Attacks vui cease.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-The Russian government to-day abolished the cen sorship upon all news and other tele- grams going abroad.
 The lifting of the embargo, which ex- isted for generations, upon the free transmission of news from the Russian empire came as a direct result of con- sideration of the subject by the czar himself, and in some respects this aboli- tion is regarded here as the most i'm portant act since the emancipation of the serfs.
 Under a regime allowing perfect free dom to the foreign press it is believed that Russia will soon cease to be con- stantly subject to underground attacks and that she will see herself through honest spectacles. For years" said a prominent official to the Associated Press to-day, tour country has been the victim of eevry imaginable islander and misrepresentation because it was known that telegrams addressed to for eign news sources went through the hands of the Russian censor Any story, no matter how baseless or exag- gerated, that was sent surreptitiously across the border, was greedily accept ed abroad, especially by the Russo phoes, as true because the government would not put it's official stamp upon it.

LEGALITY OF STATE IN FISHING
CASE is MUCH DISCUSSED
BY ATTORNEYS AND
POLICE.

The case OF the japanese who were
arrested at honolulu for fishing on
the ranch waters caused considerable
discussion among the legal lights at
the Police Court this morning. The
statute under which the arrest was
made-Section 1860 of the Penal
Laws of 1S97--reads as follows:
Every konohiki or other person
who shall wilfully deprive another of
any of his legal rights to fish on any
fishing ground, which now is. or may
become, free to the use of the people,
or who shall wilfully exact of anoth.
or. for the use of any private fishery,

or otherwise, shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding 800 for every such
onense. in the discretion of the court,
and in default Of the payment OF such
fine be imprisoned at hard labor not
exceeding three months"
The common opinion Is that this law
IS not holding now except In such
cases where'the rights have been spe.
officially established. The honolulu
