Representative Rixey said to-day he
would press to the utmost his resolution.
now pending In the Committee on Naval
Affairs, providing for all Information in
the possession Of the Secretary OF tho
Navy concerning the Naval Academy to
be sent to the Congress. Secretary Bona
.parte was before the committee for some
time this morning and discussed the af-
fairs OF the academy freely. He espe-
cially urged that the Congress give him
the authority to dismiss Il midshipmhn
from the academy for cause. without the
Intervention of court martial trial.
Mr.. Rixey is strongly opposed to this
change in the law. and will fight It. Sec
retary Bonaparte would not indicate very
plainly whether he favored the adoption
of Mr.. sRixey's resolution. but made 1t
rather clear that he thought 1t unwise
to send to Congress at this time the in
formation sought. The secretary displays
as keen interest in the affairs of the
academy as any of his predecessors has
Snowman interest due In part. no doubt,
to the fact that 1t is located in his own
State of Maryland. While he believes
honestly that 1t would be for the best
interests Of the institution to giN him
the absolute power to dismiss from the
academy. Mr.. Rixey, who has for years
been the most influential Democrat on
the committee. is convinced that the
granting of so much power to one fndi-
sviduul would not be for the good of the
service.

BRIEF RECESS
Body Adjourns Until Monday in

Day.

MANY BILLS ARE OFFERED

After rather breezy and extended ses-
sion yesterday, the Senate adjourned un-
til Monday in honor of Lee-Jackson day,
and the House adopted a resolution pro-
viding that when it adjourns to-day it
be in memory of the distinguished Con
federap~ leaders.
Important and interesting measures
were offered in both Houses. In the Sem
ate, Mr.. Machen presented bill to pro-
vide for printing daily record of the
proceedings of the Assembly, and there
was one by Mr.. Phlegar to abolish all
gates on public roads.
Perhaps the most interesting measures
in the House related to the subjects of
insurance and cigarettes. The latter was
by Mr. Ould, to prohibit, under heavy
penalty. the sale or gift Of cigarettes or
cigarette papers
There were two insurance bills offered
One was by Mr.. Cation, to create bureau
of insurance. and the other by Mr.. Rev
of Accomac, to require life companies
to distribute the surplus among share
holders annually.

controversy which continued through TWO

engineers had declined to accept employ

The committee demanded the names OF
! such engineers and Mr.. Bigelow declined
to give them on the ground that to do
so would be to violate a confidence and
subject these persons to embarrassment.
He intimated that the displeasure of the
administration would be exhibited in such
manner that their Populations would be
worth nothing after the official replies
had been concluded"

Two opportunities to answer were
given to Mr.. Bigelow, but he persisted
in his refusals. Senator Morgan. who
