FOR 4 GIANT BATTLESHIP
Secretary Bonaparte AdUocates One
of 19,4OO Tons.

Washington, March 22.-Secretary Bonaparte
appeared before the House Committee on Naval
Affairs to-day in support of an increase Of the
navy. He advocated an appropriation this year
for two 16,000-ton battleships and in case Con-
gress does not see 1T to provide for two such
ships, he urged the construction Of one 1900
ton battleship. In this recommendation he sur
passed Admiral Dewey, who surprised the COM
mittee by advocating 1800O-ton battleships after
the type of the English Dreadnought. Secre-
tary Bonaparte advocated the 10, 400-ton battle
ship because, he said American constructors
felt this tonnage was necessary TO carry ten
12-inch guns such the Dreadnought is to
carry.
Members Of the committee and Secretary
Bonaparte had a long discussion Of the present
types Of battleship. The Secretary said the bat
tIeship was now so highly developed that there
could not be radical changes in construction
Representative Cousin, Of Iowa, and other
members took issue with him on this point.
In the main Secretary Bonaparte's recon-
mendations were IN harmony with those in his
annual report Two scout cruisers were recon-
rnended in the report, but he told the committee
that these were not Indispensable he advocated
the building Of four destrOyers at a cost OF
SO 600 600 two submarines costing 100000 one
g7lnboat costing 100000 and two river gunboats
at a cost Of 100000. ,
The Secretary's estimates for construction
aggregate S2s 900 900. OF this sum the chief
item is SIS 600 600 for the two battleshps recon-
rnended The cost Of the two scout ships,
which Secretary BOnapaTte said were not lndlS-
pensable is estimated at 100000.

CONSULAR BILL FIGHT.
Difference Bet1oeen House and Sen
ate Endangers the Reform Measure.


Washington. March pa serious difference be-
tween the House and Senate over the Consular
Reform BILL which may prevent its enactment
at this session has arisen. In reporting the bill
to the House the Committee on Foreign Affairs
struck out a clause in the Senate bill which
authorizes the President to transfer a consul
general or consul in the same class from one
place to another according to the needs Of the
service This provision is regarded as so i'm
portant by Senator Lodge and the principal ad-
vocates of the measure that they intend to make
a stand to have It .reincorporated in the bill. A
conference has been demanded. and, although an
agreement may be reached. the present indica-
tons are that the House and Senate conferrees
will be 80 positive on the point at issue that a
deadlock may result. The Senate conferrees viii
be Senators Lodge, Hale and Culom. Repre-
sentatives Adams. DENLY and Towne viii be the
conferrees for the House.
In explanation of their action in striking out
the clause providing for transfers Of consuls in
the discretion Of the President members OF the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs say that 1t
was deemed necessary to get the bill through
the House. The provision endangered the bill,
they say, because Of the opposition 1t would
arouse from Congressman interested in consuls
at certain posts. The authors Of the bill. on the
other hand insist that the provision is necessary

CONSIDERS MR.. sTORER AMBASSADOR
Vienna Foreign Office Thinks American Pro
oedure Most Unusual.

Vienna, March 22.-secretary G. B. Rfves Of tho
American Embassy informed the Foreign once
here to-day that Belamy Storer the retiring Amer
lean Ambassador, ceased his connection with the
Embassy on March 10. and requested the Austro-
Hungarian government to agree to the appointment
OF Charles S. Francis Immediately.
This, the Foreign Office declares. Is a most IN
usual proceeding According TO European diplo-
matte traditions, Mr. Storer remains Ambassador
until the presentation Of his letters Of recall either
by himself or his successor and until this Is done
this government must regard Mr.. Storer as Am
bassadOr.
Some surprise is expressed here at the fact that
the Austro- Hungarian government not pre-
viously informed OF the facts in the case but Il Is
thought that the government OF the United States
must have good reasons for so doing.
The officials regret that the United States did
not follow the usual diplomatic precedents, esDe-
cialy Mr.. Storers recall does not interest Aus
trta- Hungary and because Mr.. Francis viii be as
welcome to official Austria as the previous Arnerf-
can representatives.

Mr.. FRANCIS CONFIRMED.
viii Be acceptable to the Anstro
Hungarian Government.

Washington. March 22.-The Senate in executive
session to-day confirmed the nomination OF Charles
S. Francis. Of New-York. to be Ambassador 70
Austria Hungary. The State Department has been
informed that Mr. Francis viii be acceptable 20
the Austro-H Hungarian government
Although it Is customary for retiring ambas-
sailors to present their letters OF recall 20 the gov
ernments t. which they have been accredited state
Department officials say that such letters may Be
presented to the ambassadors absence BY his sue
cessor. The announcement to Austrta-Hungary OF
Mr. StOrer's successor the officials say, constitutes
q notice from the President of the United states
that his ambassador TO that country has been re-
called. In this case It will fall to Mr.. Francis to
present Mr.. StOreTs letter Of recall unless the
State Department should determine that Mr..
Rivess notice Of Mr.. Storer's recall is sufficient
