The question of what the policy of
the government should be with respect
to the upbuilding of the navy was again
thrashed out in the House Wednesday
during the consideration of the naval APP
preparation bill, the debate developing
much opposition to the proposed addition
of two battleships to the naval establish
ment. The defense of the Philippines
played an important part in the discus
sion, while the events of the war in the
far East from a naval point of view
were given prominence by the advocates
of an increased navy. The House met
an hour earlier than usual, and with
the exception of a brief period the entire
day was consumed by the naval bill. The
Senate continued, but did not conclude,
consideration of the bill making appro-
priations for the support of the govern
ment of the District of Columbia. While
the bill was before the Senate Mr.. Ell
kins took exception to an item for the
construction of a local bridge as in the
interest Of spectators. and made a gen
eral plea for economy in the matter of
appropriations. The Swayne impeach-
ment trial held the attention Of the SEN
ate for two hours.

the indianapolis district. The father
was man of strong parts and of illus
trious ancestry.
In his youthful days Lewis Wallace
displayed tendency to neglect the op-
portunities which his fathers position
gave him. He hated books and schools
and remained at school only so long as
it was impossible to avoid. In this
manner he acquired but little real
foundational education.
Previous to the outbreak of the Mex
| lean War Wallace had undertaken the
study of law. When the call for SOL
diers came he was among the first to
enlist. He was not vet 20 years old,
but his services were so meritortous
| that he came back from the war a lieu
tenant. At the close of the war he
married. Susan A. Elston, widow of
pioneer of Crawsfordsville. Their
tastes were congenial, Mrs. Wallace
herself being an author who acl ieved
success in several books which she has
published
Activity in the Civil War.
At the beginning Of the Civil War
he was appointed adjutant general of
Indiana and soon after colonel of the
Eleventh Indiana Volunteers. He
served il West Virginia and became
brigader general of volunteers in Sep
TENDER, 1861. He commanded at Dou-
elson, was made major general, led a
division at Shiloh and prepared the
defense of Cincinnati in 1868, saving
the city from capture by General Ed
mund Kirby Smith. Later he saved
Washington from capture.
During the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison he was appointed terri
torlal governor of New Mexico. From
1881 to 1885 he was minister to Tur-
key. As diplomat he was eminently
successful.
"Ben-Hur" was, written in 1880, af-
ter Robert G. Ingersoll had given Gen
eral Wallace his first impetus toward
acquiring the biblical lore necessary to
its creation. His other works were:

Boykood of Christ 1889; 1.-THE Prince
