 When tho Senate resiimed fextslative session MT. Proctor presented the con- ference report on the army appropria- tion bill and 1t was agreed to without debate. This bill carried the provision relating to pay of retired army officers. affecting the pay of General Miles which has heretofore been subject of controversy. The naval appropriation bill was then laid before the Senate MT. German, discussing the proposed increase of the appropriation for tho marine corps, declared there could be no excuse for such an increase in times of profound peace. Answering MT. HaIe's remarks made Saturday, Mr. German said this administration was going beyond the policy established by England more than A century ago ani at this time such expenditures were extravagant and unnecessary.
 GOrman's COmparison.
 He referred to the history of the English navy when it was used to coll lect duties from the American colonies and compared it with the position of this country in San Domingo today. T suppose if this Is to continue" he said. that we soon will have our marines in all of the weaker South American republics"
 The adoption of this policy, he said. was no doubt responsible for the in- crease in the bill and that public im- had been paralyzed by the big appropriations for the army and navy. Public buildings and rivers and harbor Improvements had been utterly sacrificed. He gave the total appropri- ations for the navy during the four years of the Civil War at $314.000,000 and the appropriations for the navy in 1901 to 1904 inclusive at $313.000.o00.
 'The time is close to hand" he said.' when the people will not tolerate these conditions at the cost of the trade interests of the country"
 MT. German predicted that the big 5000 ton battleships in ten years would tso. ha afa ring to the request for an increase to complete the proposed scout ships in order to make them as fast as those of any Government in the world, Mir. German said that "the Secretary of the Navy, who may know more about run hing a railroad than he does a navy, has applied correct business principles. The ships would have been of no use to him if he had not come to Congress for this increase. What I complain of Is that he has not applied correct bus mess principles in the number of bat tleships asked for. But perhaps 1t is asking too much to expect any of the secretaries of their departments since 1902 to exercise any duties beyond those of a mere clerk"
 Intoxicated With Power.
 Mir. Spooner asked why he specified since 19US, anu NNoi hlci ECplISu that his knowledge of national government naffirs extended back that far and that the administration of President Roosevelt was begun at about that time. MT. German spoke of the dan ger of the heads of the Government 'becoming so intoxicated with power" as to carry them into the habit of con structing great navies for the purpose of taking territory we have no use for. and thna work destruction of OUT form
