SECURITIES CASE.
Bankers Preparing for Decision by
 the Snnrama Court

baukerS Erepaf1ng TOT Oec1s1on Dy
 the Supreme Court.
 New York, Feb. 2S.--While bankers here do not generally believe that the Unit ed States Supreme Court will render its decision in the Northern Securities case immediately upon the re-convening af- ter It's brief vacation, the near approach of that event is causing much discussion in financial circles.
 James J. Hill, president of the Securi- ties Company, has been actively engaged of late comforting with the various bank CTS interested, and 1t Is now said ten- tative plan has been agreed upon for use in case the Supreme Court decides ad- versely to the company. MT. Hill has refused to discuss the subject in any way, but one of the bankers associated in the enterprise is quoted by The Her aid as follows:
 We do not in the slightest fear for the fate of the Northern Securities Com pany. no matter what the finding of the Supreme Court may be. The two prop critics. the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads. will in no event pass out of the hands which now control them. How this end will be achieved am not at liberty to state, but 1t will be accom- plished, nevertheless. If the Supreme Court finds the present manner of hold ing the securities of the two roads to be illegal, 1t will indicate what shall eonsti- tute a legal manner of holding them, and that manner of retaining them will be pursued.
 'If the decree of the lower court should be affirmed in all particulars there would be trouble as to some other roads, but not so much to the Northern Securities. which has been preparing to meet the outcome"
 In a general way 1t is understood that in the event of an adverse decision and a sweeping decree the Northern Securi- ties Company will turn over the control of Northern Pacific stock to other inter ests, either to a railroad corporation in no way associated with the merger roads, or to a voting trusteeship. The joint gua- rantee of the Burlington bonos by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific will not be disturbed. It Is presumed that this plan eontemplates the reduction of North ern Securities stock by the equivalent of the amount issued by Northern Pa cific stock

 The motion of MT. Jones was not caf- ried
 An amendment was proposed by Mir. Tate (Ga) and opposed by Mir. Dayton w. Val and Mir Foss to give the Sec retary of the Navy authority to consoli- date the various bureaus and plants in navy yards.
 Mir. Tate's amendment was defeated 1 99 to 1o5.
 Mir. Cooper (wis) reserved a point of order against the provision in the bill for naval training station on the great | lakes and proceeded to criticize the delay in the report of the commission author ised to select site.
 Mir. Cooper intimated that the site known as Lake Bluff, situated, he said. in the district represented by Chairman Foss of the Naval Committee will be the one purchased.
 l MT. Fcss rose to make an explanation of the matter. but Mfr. Cooper declined to be interrupted, stating that he would ast. unanimous consent for Mir. Foss te make as long a statement as he chose Mir. Cooper then continued his criticism oi the commission. He said 1t had not visit. ed the Racine site in daylight. but in its final report had mentioned this site as 6 desirable one in view of the price asked by the owners of the Lake Bluff site This price, he said. was $500 an acre, that at Racine was s2S0 while the Aiilwauket

SMALL PROGRESS MADE
HOUSE CoNsIDEREDs NAVAL
 APPROPRIATION BILL.
Fight over Proposed Naval Station on the Great Lakes is Begun and Promises to Be
 Heated.

Washington, Feb. 23.-A1though the House devoted the entire day to a con- sideration of the naval appropriation bill under the five-minute rule, small progress was made. Amendments were offered in profuslon for the perfection of the meas ure from a Democratic standpoint but all save an appropriation for the Charleston navy yard were rejected. This was up- held in forcible manner by MT. Legare of South Carolina, and amounted to a total of $606, 500 to carry on the work on existing contracts and was agreed to af- ter Chairman Foss had stated that otha only question was whether the appropria- tion should be made this year or next.
 The fight over the proposed great lakes naval training station was begun during the last half hour of the session and promises a lively debate tomorrow.
 The naval appropriation bill was taken up in the House today, MT. Foster of Yer mont being made Chairman of the com mittee of the whole and the reading of the bill for amendment continued.
 In endeavoring to get the amount foE the New York navy yard increased by $3,000,000, MT. Fitzgerald of New York de. clared that by no other Committee of the House was the cohesive power of public plunder So remarkably exemplified.
 In opposition to the Fitzgerald amend ment Chairman Foss declared that since 1895 900 had been appropriated fol the New York navy yard. MT. Foss in cluded Mir. Fitzgerald among that clas: of gentlemen who believed in putting al of the navy on land.
 After a somewhat heated colloquy be- tween Messrs. Foss and Mir. Fitzgerald the amendment was defeated.
 MT. Fitzgerald offered another amend ment for the New York navy yard whscf was also defeated.
 On a motion to strike out the appropri' ation for a naval station at Olongapo, P l., Mir. Jones (Va.) spoke against making such large appropriations for the Phil ippine Islands. He declared that before this naval station was completed 1t woult cost from twenty to thirty million dollars and this in the face of statements that VI were to give up the islands as soon as th' people were educated enough for self government.
 Mir. Brandegee (Conn.) argued in favol of this provision of the bill. Even if w

 Washington, Feb. 9. Strong probability that Major B. M. Harrod of New Orleans will be chosen by the President member of the Isthmian Canal Commission, which was indicated in these dispatches yesterday, has given much concern to the friends of Mississip- pi River Improvements on account of the prospective loss of so useful a member and excellent an engineer. Already there is much discussion as to the probable suc- cessor for Major Harrod on the River Commission, the names most seriously discussed being those of Major Henry M. Richardson of Louisiana and T. c. Dab- ney of Mississippi. There has been some local opposition manifested to the ap. pointment of Major Harrod in Louisiana. but he appears to be highly esteemed as entirely fit for the Isthmian Commission position by Louisiana members of Con- gress. who know him we'll.
 Both Major Richardson and MT. Dabney have done much service in local capaci- ties for the Mississippi River Commission and are highly competent engineers There Is much comment among Southern members of Congress over the fact thai of the seven members to the Isthmiar Canal Commission only one is to bt from the South. and yet in order to gel Southern votes for the canal treaty, ad' ninistration partisans constantly argued that no part of the country would derive so much benefit from the canal or was sC immediately interested.
