acquitted by jury II IS impossible establish any
system OF reviewing the Judgment which viii en-
title the government TO place the accused upon trial

From The Philadelphia Record
The mass OF the people OF the United States how

clrrence in the greater part Of its recommended
tons, and IN the greater part Of the preaching with
which M Roosevelt interlards his state papers.
Because Of the lack OF bristling Partisanship lie

the preiudices of the other half. The tone is too
imparialistiC, but that viii be overlooked the
outflow OF a self-ccnfdence not inconsistent with
an undiminished popular faith in the Presidential
good intent.

Washington, May S,-The house of
representatives devoted the day to the
naval appropriation bill and accom-
plished the reading for amendment of
the first fifteen pages. During this time
several topics incident to the measure
We're discussed including the difficulty
of obtaining enlisted men in the navy,
the location of the naval taraining sta
ton on the great lakes, the cost of
somkeless powder, and finally the un-
necessary expenditure of 100000 year
for chains for ships, This last matter
was under consideration when the
house adjourned.
Representative Rixey of Virginia was
unsuccessful In getting an amendment
through limiting to sixty cents a pound
the amount which may be expended for
smokeless powder. He stated that the
price now paid was rs cents pound
but that the inquiry made by the naval
committee showed that it actually cost
but S5 cents to manufacture the pow
der.
The amry appropriation bill was sent
to conference with all the senate
amendments disagreed to.
