At THE NATIONS CAPITAL
Some Interesting Happenings Briefly
Told.
Naval Bill Agreed To.

The Naval Appropriation bill, car
rying $100,727,S07, was passed by
the Senate in 80 minutes. All the
committee amendments were agreed
to.
The only amendments adopted dur
ing the consideration added $780,
600 to the item for coal and trans
portation and $4,000 for power
plant at the Norfolk Navy Yard.
Senator Culberson noticed that
the Senate committee had doubled
the amount for coal He asked if
these items had any reference to the
gathering of large fleets, as the Pres
ident was in the habit of doing, or
to the forthcoming Exposition at
jamestown. Senator Hale replied
that the expenses of the navy for am
munition in times of peace were
large. He did not believe that any
considerable amount of the fund
would be used on account of the
jamestown Exposition, although he
said that Exposition seemed to be de-
veloping into a more of a military
show than anything else.
Senator Stone said he had ascer-
tanned that the annual consumption
of powder by the army and navy was
about 100000 pounds, that it cost
the Government 70 cents a pound
and that the Government could man
ufacture this powder for about half
that amount. He had intended to
address the Senate at some length
in advocacy of Government manu-
facture of powder; but would con-
tent himself with submitting several
letters from certain powder manu-
facturers of Kansas City, Peoria, ILL.,,
and York, Pa.
Senator Carmack offered an amend
ment appropriating 100000 for a
castiron and steel foundry at the
Washington Navy Yard, but this was
rejected on a point of order made
by Mr.. Hale.

Washington. D. C. Especially -
Mr.. Reed Smoot, the senator from
Utah, for whose expulsion from thee
United States Senate ten millions of
American women have labored for
four years, sparing neither time, eff
fort nor money, was confirmed in
his seat by the votes of Republican
members. The resolution declaring
him not entitled to his seat was lost
by a vote of AZ to %, majority
of IA. The result was heard in the
galleries, crowded with women, in
absolute silence. Evidently they.
were mindful of the stern admonition
of Vice President Fairbanks given to
them when they had applauded Sena-
tor Burrows address urging Mr..
Shoots defeat than any manifesto
ton from the galleries would be
punished by having all the galleries
cleared. Possibly they felt, in the
bitterness of their disappointment,
some slight measure of satisfaction
that the ma jority was, after all, only
IA.
For more than a week they must
have known that they were to be
beaten, and that for once in Ameri-
can politics the voice of the Ameri-
can women was drowned by the de-
mands of politics. 1t was believed
that Mr. Shoots majority would be
anywhere from Is to 20, but at the,
very last moment, three Republican
senator's changed their minds
Messrs. Clapp, of Minnesota; Kilt
redge, of South Dakota, and Hemen-
way. of Indiana, who had been
counted among the Smoot followers,
voted not only that he was not en-
titled to his seat, but that he should
have been expelled. Had they voted
with their. party, as was the general
expectation, Mr.. Smoot would have
retained his seat by a majority of 20
Immediately after the announce
ment OF the vote Mr.. Lodge moved
an executive session. and the CALLER
les were cleared. The ladies found
themselves in the corridors, where
they were free to express their in
dignation, which they did.
With Tact And Diplomacy.
Mr.. Smoot, is must be said. acted
with the tact and diplomacy which
has helped him so much to his VIC
tory Had the Senate voted four
years ago, when he presented him
self at the bar or the Senate, he
would have been overwhelmingly
defeated.
