Washington, March 5.-In the sen ate today MT. Nelson continued the discussion of the statehood bill urg- ing the passage of the measure as re- ported from the committee on territor- ies
 Senator Foraker gave notice of an u-gambling amendment to that part O. the statehood bill providing for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona s one state. He said he would not ask the senate to vote on the proposi- ton immediately, but he desired to speak on it.
 In his address to the senate in sup Port of the joint statehood bill MT. Nelson gave many statistical facts in an effort to show that the conditions justify the creation of two states as provided for by the bill. An especial plea for the union of Arizona and New, MexXico was made by the senator. who contended tnat the American eIe- ment- in Arizona would do much D improve conditions favorable to state hood in New Mexico.

THE HOUSE.

Washington, March 5.-Legislation by unanimous consent and under sus- pension of the rules occupied the house today and resulted in the pas sage of several bills, some of consid- erable importance
 The adoption of a resolution of in qulry as to whether any criminal pros ecutlons have been begun against in d1viduals in the Northern Securities company furnished the text for a speech of criticism by MT. Williams. the democratic leader, directed against the administration. Brief an sNers were made by Mr. Jenkins of Wisconsin and MT Grosvenor of Ohio. Jenkins showed that the statute of limitations mad run against any action that might be taken in this case and that any effort at prosecution would be useless
 Fault was found with the rules of the house and the concentration of power in the speaker by MT. Shackle- ford of Missouri, who took occasion to address the house upon a bridge bill

Washington, Mar 5. - President Roosevelt sent message to congress today accompanying the plans for coast defense prepared by a joint board of army and navy officers in which he emphasized the necessity for further defenses and reviewed the his tory of the defensive works in this country.
 The president called attention to the recOmmendation that the entrance to Chesapeake bay be added to the list of places in the United States to be defended. He says the. insular pos sessions can not be longer neglected if the United States desires to hold them
 Defenses are recommended for Ma nila bay, Pearl harbor. Guatanam1 D. Guam, San Juan and Honolulu. be- cause of their strategic locations. De lenses are recommended for the en- frances to the Panama canal.
 The message says: The insular po- sessions can not be held unless the principal ports, naval bases. and coal ing stations are fortified before the outbreak of a war. These considera- tions have led me to appoint a joint board of officers of the army and navy to recommend the armament fixed and llpdlillS- HloDlle IOIDeuOeS. SuDnarlno mines and all other defensive applf- ance that may be necessary to com plete the harbor defenses with the most economical and advantageous ex- penditures of money: the board was further instructed to extend it's exam nations so as to include estimates relative to the defenses of the insu- lar possessions and to recommend the order in which the proposed defenses shall be completed so that all elements of harbOr defense may be properly and effectively co-ordinated.
 ''The necessity for a complete and adequate system of coast defense is greater today than twenty years ago for the increased wealth of the country offers more tempting inducements to attack and a hostile fleet can reach our coast in a much shorter period Of time. The fact tmat we now have a navy does not in any wise diminish the importance of coast defenses; on the value and the necessity for their con- struction. It is an accepted naval maxim that a navy can be used to strategic advantage only when acting on the offensive, and it can be free to

 It was due to the securely defended condition of the Japanese ports that the Japanese fleet was free to seek out and watch it's proper objective the Russian fleet-without fear of in- terruption or recall to guard its home ports against raids by the Nladivostok squadron.
