AMENDMENT TO NAVAL B1lLL
VOTED DOWN IN SENATE.
AFTER LONG DEBATE.
Newly Elected Senator'S Vote in Favor
Of Four Battleships- ajority Fa.
vors ~, Two " Y; Reveridge ana AldrIch
Come Together.

Washington, April az a. BY an over
whelming vote President Roosevelt's
four-battleship program failed in the
senate just as it did in the house. The
amendment for four battleships was
introduced by Senator Piles, and the
fight for Its adoption was led by Sen
ator Beveridge. Twenty-three votes
were cast for the increased program,
the number largely being made up Of
recently elected senator's. Fifty SEN
ators voted to support the house and
the recommendation Of the senate
naval committee also, being only two
battleships.
The debate on the battleship amend
ment lasted three days to the exclu-
sion Of all other matters. 1t was be-
gun by Senator Beveridge with an elo-
quent appeal for the support OF the
president and q suggestion that the
larger navy might be needed for war.
Members Of the committee upbraided
the Indiana senator for this veiled
hint Of war with another country, and
sought to make him admit that he
meant Japan.
Smith Protests.
At times the discussion came near
being acrimonious, and especially the
sharp exchanges occurring between
Senators Aldrich and Beveridge. The
formers reference to Mr.. Beveridge
excited Senator Smith Of Michigan to
protest against the senate chamber
being made a slaughter house for the
young senator from Indiana
It was developed by Senator ALI
son during the debate that there is
an understanding among the senate
leaders for the authorization OF two
battleships each year until the Ameri-
can navy is regarded as suflcient to
meet any demands that may be made
upon 1t.
AS finally passed the bill carries ap-
propriations aggregating $123, ,115 ,659,
and provides for the construction OF
two battleships and two colliers and
the purchase Of three additional col
liers, the construction Of submarines,
and other necessary craft and in
creases the pay Of officers and enlist
ed men, as we'll as increasing both the
pay and the strength Of the marine
corps.

sage President Roosevelt had pre-
pared and planned to have read in
that body today. It was found impos-
sible to untangle the snarl Of motions
to get the house out Of committee Of
the whole, and finally to cover the
point Of no quorum long enough to
have the presidents message receiv.
ed, much less read. His secretary,
Mr.. Latta, who had waited for an hour
in the corridor. was turned away with
the message under his arm and made
his way to the senate. n
Y It was with an eye to political capt.
tai that the house proceeded through.
out the day. The little that was &C.
complished was made the vehicle f,r
political discussion. A resolution was
PASSED authorizing the news print pa
per investigation, but not until the ex-
pediency Of that investigation had
teen discussed. Mr.. Williams, the
minority leader, characterized It as .
method Of delay. while republican
speakers maintained 1t was being
made in good faith and that a report
would be made at the present session
should the democratic flibuster per-
n.tt members Of that committee to do
their work.
Currency Bill Criticised.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was then taken up and three Of the
eight hours decided on for general de.
bate were used. In this time Mr..
Tawney showed that the house had
cut the appropriations $110. 100000;
Mr.. Rodenburg Of Illinois held the
democratic record Of the past few
years up to ridicule. and undertook
to show that material progress had
been made under republican rule; Mr..
Marshall Of North Dakota criticised
the Aldrich currency bill; Mr.. spight
Of Mississippi urged congress to re-
fund to southern states the $50 ,000. 900.
collected IN cotton taxes during the
civil war. ana Mr.. shackleford Of Mis-

armament Of Nations,

Washington. April 27.-Two battle
ships year is what President Roose.
velt says he has accomplished through
his fight for his naval program. Had
he been victorious in having four such
ships authorized at this session the
United States could have dictated
terms Of disarmament to the nations
Of the world. This statement, made
tonight following the passage by the
senate today Of the naval bill calling
for two new battleships, is understood
to reveal the presidents source Of
strength IN the naval fight which has
been waged so strenuously.
Furthermore, the two ships thia
year. with the promise Of two ship:
each year to follow, which the presi-
dent has accepted as . bona fide stip-
ulation on the part Of the senate,
means simply program which will
place the United States In the front
rank Of naval progression, but which
fails to place It in the position Of die
tating cessation Of naval aggression.
Can Dictate Naval Policy.
That the president on the whole
is pleased with the result Of his ef.
forts with congress on this subject
was made manifest tonight; that he
firmly believes in the ability Of the
United States to dictate the naval pol.
Icy Of the world In the future. through
demonstration OF ability to over.
whelmingly outstrip rival construc.
tion, is equally manifest.
President Roosevelt wanted four
battleships this year. He got two.
With the two he obtained the prom
lse that two more would be forthcom-
Ing each year. This means. consider
ing the dimensions Of the battleships
which modern construction dictates,
that the United States shall keep fully
abreast Of the naval armament Of any
other nation.
The friends Of the president arr
flushed tonight with what they regard
as q signal victory for his interna'
tional policy ana the details Of thia
victory are freely given and declared
to reflect the exuberance Of President
Roosevelt.
