Fifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, Feb. ~.
SENATE.

]
The Senate today agreed to vote at
five O'Clock Tuesday on five steamboat
inspections bills already passed by the
House.
The naval appropriation bill was'then
taken up.
Mr.. German, in dsnouncing the pro-
posed increase in the marine corps, de-
clared that the administration was en-
tering upon the same line of policy
England exercised toward the United
STATES previous to the war OF the revolu-
tiOn.
"Our marines are being used to col
lect revenues" he declared, 'just as
Britain's marines previous to 1776 were
used in collecting revenues from the
United States and turning them over to
the crown"
He charged that the administration 5
naval scheme" had paraIyzed Congress
so that great projects, essential to the
prosperity of the country, were to be
abandoned in order that the war spirit OF
certain officials might be gratified. He
declared that the proposed sixteen thous-
and ton battleships would in ten years
be as obsolete as the Texas.
Mr.. McCumber said he could not APP
prove of the building OF a mighty navy
that was intended to overawe the navies
of the world.
"NO foreign government will ever
pick war with the United States" he
declared
Mr.. Dietrich said a great navy was
necessary when we we're required to COL
lect foreign debts from South American
republics.
"That is deep subject" replied Mr..
McCumber. GLOW far this government
will see fit TO go along that line can
not imagine. hope the end has al
ready been reached.
Mr.. Carmack moved TO strike out one
OF the lwo battleships provided for in the
bill.
Dir. Blackburn said that for the first
time in twenty years he raised his voice
against further construction of battleships
'for he declared" ii we never pro.
vide another warship than those
already provided for in this bill, it will
necessitate a naval force of so, 600 men,
and require an annual appropriation of
800, 900, 000.".
He declared that no nation on the
earth launched so many warships in any
one year as did the United States from
December 1904 to December 1905.
HOUSE.
The House met at eleven o'clock to.
day. Consideration was given bills of
interest to the District of Columbia.
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
caused a parliamentary wrangle BY his
opposition to the bill to permit the Sur
rattsyille Anscostia and Brandywine
Railroad to enter the District of Co.
lumbia.
He forced two roll.calls, raised the
question of no quorum, and tied up the
House for an hour and half. The bill
finally passed by a vote of 1853 to SO.
The conference report on the appre-
priation bill was agreed to, and in COM
mittee of the whole, further consiaera-
ton was given TO the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill.

PICKED UP SATCHEL.
Joha Davis of This City Had . Suit
 Case Taken.

John Davis of this city had pc culiar experience ill Hartford this week. He left his valise on seat at the railroad station and while he was away for short time man named Ira E. Abell of New York picked it up and had 1t checked at the baggage room and then strolled of. When Da- wis missed the satchel he started to look it up and finally located it in the baggage room, and although he had the key and mentioned what was in it he was mot allowed to take 1t away because the check was in possession of somebody else. The following day the New Yorker called and after turn ing in the check demanded the satchel. When questioned he didn't give a very satisfactory explanation of how he got hold of the goods and he was locked up and will have a hearing Friday. The authorities at Hartford want Davis as witness against Abell and if the police can find him he will be there. His resi- dence is given as S6S or 7S5 Bank street. He is not at either number, and as he is Lithuanian and not we'll known here nobody appears to be able to tell where he does live.
 The funeral of Josephine Yokszienc will take place tomorrow morning from her late home, 31 James street, to St Joseph's Lithuanian church. h. terment will be in Calvary cemetery.
 The funeral of Clara Bouffard, the six-months-old daughter of F. K. Bouffard of 66 Pond street took place this afternoon at o'clock. Interment was in Calvary cemetery

Canadian Captain Interviewed on
 the War In tho Far East.
 VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 5.-Captain H. c. Thacker, who was Canadian military attache with Oku's army and witnessed the actions at Anshan, Liao- yang and Shakhe. has arrived here by the steamer Empress of Japan. Cap tain Thacker was invalided after the battle of the Shakie. When he left the two armies, each being re-enforc- ed steadily, were intrenching and strengthening their position near Muk- den and preparing for battle which the Japanese proposed to give when the Port Arthur army was released, augmenting the Japanese forces so that they will be much larger than the Rus sian and capable of giving a crushing blow,
 Captain Thacker, says the Russian field gun is superior to that of the Japanese, though the lack of common shell handicaps it's service. The Japa- nese gun is better served. The Shimose explosive is very effective, but not more so than lyddite. The cavalry arm has been notably absent in all engage ments.
 Captain Thacker was decorated by the mikado with the Order of the Sacred Treasure.

BOARD OF SAFETY.
Recommended that Supsrnumerar
 Force Bs Rcd uced to Forty Hen.

The board of public safety came near holding public meeting i'll the mayors offlce yesterday afternoon. For about three-quarters of an hour the attempt was successful, but it sudden ly occurred to Commissioner Beach that the board was deviating from its usual course and he accordingly moved that the meeting be executive Up to that time, notwithstanding that ths contracts for building the proposed en- zine house on North Willow street have been awarded, the board did nothing else but discuss what kind of house was necessary there. The house is to be about twenty-five feet wide and this leaves but the barely necessary room to move the apparatus about. The mayor thought combina- ton chemical truck would be about ths right thing, but Chief Snagg thought otherwise. All kinds of plans were discussed, and then it was that it oc- cured to Commissioner Beach that the meeting was not executive.
 A number of purchases were recom- mended by Chief Snagg and approved Chief Egan presented bill for $5 from C. H. Barnes for the use of hack, with the statement that thes hack had been in use only thirty-eight minutes. The bill was returned to Mir Barnes. Chief Egan turned over to the board $13.5O, money which had been found on the streets by the police from time to time and was not called for. The money will be turned into the police pension fund
 John H. Loughlin. janitor of the City hall, rendered his resignation as callman. It was accepted and the an. nouncement made that on January 10 all candidates for positions on the call force will be examined.
 It was voted to recommend legisla, tion for the appointment of deputy to Chief Snagg. To create the office of superintendent of police and in crease the salary of the same. To re- tire officers and patrolmen on pensions, of course and to reduce the supernu. merary police force from seventy to forty members.
 The board will ask for the power to retire any police officer over 6 years if any such have been on the force twenty consecutive years. :.
 All appointments to the police force shall remain in force until removed for cause, and the board shall be the final judge in all such matters.
 Regarding appointments, the recom- mended legislation says that all ap- polntments to the police force shall be made from the regular and supernu, merary force, but this does not apply to the office of superintendent of po- lice. as was stated in the Democrat a few weeks ago. The appointment may be made from the outside; that is, ap- plicants for positions in the regular force shall undergo an examination, but for the head of the department any old kind of fellow may go. provided he has the political pull. The question of ability is not considered at all.
