Ignorance OF Senators.

An amusing debate took place IN
the United States Senate yesterday
over discussion as to where the dry
dock Dewey was built. All the Sena-
tors present thought the huge drydock
was built at League Island Navy
Yard. Senator Lodge was sure 1t was
built there, when in reality the drydock
Dewey was built at SparrOw'e Point
near Baltimore. Senator Rayner was
not present during the debate.
until the citizens in general had an
opportunity of examining into the
matter.
While the members of the delega-
tion have not definitely expressed
themselves it is very clear that ia.
vorable report on the measure is most
unlikely. 1t is possible that it may
be reported favorably but with most
of its important provision left out.
Another proposition was that the Leg
islature be urged to pass the bill with
a provision that il should not become
effective until the qualified voters Of
the city should give their assent to 1T
at special election called for that
purpose.
Some time was devoted to the dis.
cussion of the proposed annexation OF
the Germantown section. among 1he
residents of that section who spoke
were Mr.. Henry b. Myers, Justice
William d. X. Lee aud Mr. Fred.
Gelhaus. While they did oppose the
principle of annexation they all
argeed with the other speakers that
the terms of the proposition were not
| sufficiently known in order to form an
| intelligent opinion on the subject.
Shortly after the conclusion Of the
hearing on the proposed charter the
| Delegates took up the matter OF tbs

| proposing to raise the limit of indebt-
| edness of the City of Annapolis and
| empowering the Council to borrow
money and issue bonds for certain
