UPBUILDING OF THE NAVY
Strong Opposition in the House to
Providing Funds for New
Battleships.

Washington. Feb. 15.-The question
Of what the policy of the government
should be with respect to the upbuild-
ing of the navy was again threshed out
in the house today during the consid-
Grafton of the naval appropriation bill,
the debate developing much opposition
to the proposed addition of two battle
ships TO the naval establishment. AS
on yesterday, the defense of the Phil
ippines played an important part in the
discussion, while the events of the war
in the far east from a naval point of
view were given prominence by the adj
Vocates of an increased navy. The
house met an hour earlier than usual
and. with the exception of a brief pc
Rod, the entire time wasf consumed
with the naval bill.
