London, June 30.-During a discus
| sion of the naval estimates in the
house OF commons yesterday, Ed
mund Robertson CiberaD, former civi
| lord of the admiralty, asked further
| information concerning new battle
SHIPS. Prettyman. secretary OF the
admiralty, replied lengtnily, claiming
the highest efficiency for the navy I'm
der the new scheme. He declined fol-
strategic reasons to give the particu
lars of the new battleships, but said
that Great Britain proposed to lead
and not to follow tne otner nations il
naval construction.
Sir John Colomb conservative saio
he did not agree with the opposition
speakers in saying the time had come
when the naval expenditures might be
reduced. On the contrary, Sir joan
said everything pointed to the neces-
sity Of keeping up the naval strength
of Great Britain. The real question
now was who is going to rule the
Pacific?" President Roosevelt said
the United States intended to rule the
Pacific. The United States is giving
every sign that this is her intention by
an extraordinary increase in naval
power.
Sir john declared that in the not dis
tant future questions would arise in
the Pacific affecting the policy OF ia
pan, the United States and Great
Britain. He asked what Great Britain
is doing against the time when her in
terests ceased to be Identical with
those of the two great powers whose
naval bases were in the Pacific. No
one. believed the AnglO-Japanese alli-
ance. would last forever. Great Britain
looked with dread and horror to a rup,
ture with the United States, but couIo
not shut her eyes to the fact that rup-
lures had occurred between tne most
friendly nations Sir joan asked what
the government. was doing to remind
Canada and the British colonies or
the great responsibilities they would
incur when the seaports and immense
interests in the Pacific were imminent
ly threatened. r
Secretary Prettyman, replying to
Sir John Colonnb, said That Great Bri-
tain did not desire the mastery OF any
sea beyond. securing equal opportunity
for British trade interests without fear
or favor. To say that Great Britain
desired the mastery Of the Pacific or
any other sea might give. false i'm
preston.
Prettyman added that British war
SHIPS in the Pacific were sufficient for
the needs of British trade interests at
present and, as far as could be forseen,
for a long aime to come
| With regard to the new battleships
Prettyman said the lessons taught by
the naval warfare In the far east were
closely taken to heart by the admiral
ty.. The contemplated changes in the
plans of warship construction were
largely based on those lessons.

WALLACE GOES OUT.
And Treats the Government in a Very
Shabby Manner.

Oyster Bay, Jun 30.-The resigna-
ton of Engineer Wallace of the 18TH
milan canal commission has been ac-
cepted. Resignation was rendered at
a conference in New York between
Wallace and Secretary Taft. Wallace
received while in Panama, the offer
of a position with a great corporation
the name of which is withheld, at a
salary Of $4,000 per annun His sal
cry as chief engineer of the canal was
$25,0 year. There is no conceal
ment by the administration of it's
feeling regarding Wa1lace's action. 1t
is felt that he has not acted fairly to
the government in accepting, compare
lively recently the responsibility of di-
recting the canal construction and now
offering his resignation at time
which is regarded as crucial in the
work Of the canal. 1T is said he not
only accepted the position as chief en-
gineer but sought it and expressed en-
tire satisfaction with the salary given
him by TIE government
