Is now believed that II the present prog
ress Of construction continues tho VIZ.
ginia, Nebraska, Georgia, New Jersey and
Rhode Island will be completed.
1t is then shown In the report that In
order to complete all the ships authorized
up to the present time, including construc.
ton and machinery, armor and armament
and equipment, win cost $86.O63. 825. Or
this sum the committee recommends in the
bill introduced today 80, 41O,6S3 for con-
struction and machinery and $18.OOO,OOO for
armor and armament, and $S45 TOT
equipment. making in all tota! OF ~
2a5,633, which leaves a balance OF $3,6O1.-
S92 remaining to be appropriated. The re-
port says:
When the present ships now under con-
struction or authorized are completed we
will have in all twenty-five flrst-class bat
tie ships, one second-class battle snip.
twelve armored cruisers. one armored ram,
ten monitors, twenty-three protected crufs-
ers. three unprotected cruisers three scout
cruisers, forty-hve gunboats OF different
kinds. sixteen torpedo-boat destroyers, thir-
ty-ive topedo boats and twelve submarine
torpedo boats, without considering supply
ships, hospital ships. converted yachts. sail
ing ships. scouts, etc, which are regarded
as having very little. If any, fighting
value"
The committee says that the total cost Of
constructing the two battle ships recon-
mended by the bill will be 5.550,O0O the
appropriation of which will extend over
three years. The Navy Department re-
ported to the committee that to build a
collier on the Pacific coast as authorized In
the last naval appropriation bill would cost
about 500 600 to equip the yard. and that
the cost of building the collier would be
u per cent more than on contract basis.
The committee says in conclusion
1.-THE committee firmly believes that the
policy of Congress to build up the Amer1-
can navy should be continued notwith-
standing the fact that we are now build
ing a large number of battle ships and
cruisers, recommend what in their judg-
ment is a reasonably strong program for
the coming year-a program which they feel
assured will meet with the approval of the
American people. Our great national poll
cies the construction of the Panama canal.
the insistence upon the Monroe doctrine,
the protection of American citizens, the
support of our foreign policies, the great
work of the regeneration of the Philippines
and our national defense. all demand that
the building up of the navy shall go on.

NEAR A DEADLOCK
PRESIDENTS RECOMMENDATI0N
LIKELY TO FAIL IN CONGRESS:

It begins to look as If President Roose-
welt might have to rely upon an extraor-
binary session OF Congress to secure the
legislation he desires upon several sub
jects considered by him to be important.
There is almost complete deadlock at this
time in Congress over the Presidents sew
eraI recommendations and the prospect OF
Affirmative action is at present very I'M
favorable. Some of the administrations
supporters in the Senate and House are
not discouraged, however and think 1t
may yet be possible to bring order out or
chaos and secure action in modified form
upon some of the recommendations of the
President.
The most discouraging outlook confronts
the railway rate legislation. Well-nformed
men in the Senate have almost come to the
conclusion that action of materially bene-
fetal nature is not likely at this session.
The House committee on interstate and for
eign commerce is so badly tangled over the
railway rate bill that nothing practicable
seems to be in sight.
1t is not assumed that a bill can receive
the sanction of the House leaders If 1t is
opposed by Chairman Hepburn, and Chair
man Hepburns bill has not found sufflclent
advocates in committee to promise its be-
ing reported to the House. Even after
bill gets through the House it still has the
most QlffIcuit portion OF the TOdu To tTdfei,
namely, through the United States Senate.
and a number of bridges are likely to be
down at different stages of the journey.
The President had of course, to abandon
some time ago his desire for tariff legisla-
ton and the words tariff revision" are
never heard at the Capitol these days. 1t
seems probable that the President will be
frustrated in his efforts to obtain action on
the arbitration treaties. The naval pro-
gram of the administration certainly Is not
to be passed and the Navy Department
will have to content itself with great deal
smaller establishment than has been pro-
posed.
The President is known to be deeply IN
terested in the increase of the navy, ana
is said to have experienced keen disap-
pointment at the action of the House COM
mittee on naval affairs reported in yes
terday's Star
The situation is the cause of considerable
gossip a the Capitol. although the relations
between the White House and the big
building on the hill have not yet become
in any way strained.
Congress seems to be showing diSpo-
sition to use its own judgment in legisla-
ton and it perhaps is only a coincidence,
it is said, that the judgment of Congress
runs contrary to the Presidents upon SO
many projects in which the President is
known to be interested.

TWO ATTEMPTS AT ARSON.
Repeated Efforts to Destroy Big New
York Tenement

NEW YORK. January 2s.-Occupants of
a five-story tenement house in 18th avenue
which has just been rebuilt after being de-
stroyed by fire with a loss of twenty six
lives less than three months ago. were
thrown into a state bordering on panic ear
ly today by two deliberate Attempts to
burn the building. Both attempts were
frustrated by fortunate early discovery of
the fires in the cellar. but after the second
attempt none of the nineteen families
which occupy the building dared return to
their beds.
The first fire was discovered by the jani-
tor about l O'Clock this morning. He ex-
tnguished 1t and retired. Two hours later
a man living on the third floor smelled
smoke. He started to investigate and
found that the kerosene lamps used to
light the stairways had been removed. The
alarm was sent through the house. In both
cases pile of kindling and other infamma-
BILE material piled against the wooden wall
was found ablaze, The police are investi-
eating the case.

A Fearless Fighter.
He was fearless and ready fighter; he

which fell like a whip and left a scar be-

nursed no grudges. AS the shadows length
ened he softened. and grew ever gentler
and more tolerant. The caustic wit gave
place more and more to the kindly humor
which was one of his greaest attributes. In
the latter days he would fain be at peace
with all men, and he sought for that which
was good In everyone about him. He died
in the fullness of years. with his affections
