GAMBLING BILL IS DELAYED
Passage BY Senate To-day, How
ever, Said to Be Assured.
DemonstratioB Following Foraker's
Speech shuts on Further
Business for Day.

The District OF Columbia yesterday had
its last dose Of race track gambling. but
the bin to prohibit in future this practice
did not pass the Senate, as it was expect
ed TO do. The remarkable demonstration
IN the Senate following Senator Foraker's
speech on the Brownsville case was re-
sponsible. having practically compelled an
early adjournment.
Senator Carter said last night. however.
that the bill would come up to-day. prob
ably in the regular order Of business. He
said that IL it did not come up in regular
order an effort would be made to take #
up by unanimous consent
There is no question in the minds Of tba
Senators who are behind the bill that IT
will pass easily when it comes up for
consideration. There might have been
some objection TO immediate passage on
the part OF tender-hearted Senators had
the bill come UP last week, as there was
some disposition to allow the meeting
which has Just closed at the local track
10 reach its end without having the bet
tors and the bookmakers interfered with.
II is realized. however, that race-track
gambling has seen its day, not only in the
District Of Columbia, but practically
throughout the country. There Is little
likelihood that objection will be raised
when the bill comes up for passage.

WILL KEEP SUBIG BAY BASE
House Debates Merits of Philippine
Naval Station.
Amendment TO Strike Out S100,O0
Appropriation Lest After
Some Heated Talks.

Tho old question OF the relative impor-
/ tanca OF Subig Bay and Manila was pre-
! sented in the House yesterday, when Mr..
Jones, of Virginia, made a motion to
strike out an appropriation of $4,000 for
Subig Bay. Several members of the Com
mittee on Appropriations opposed the
/ idea Of making a naval station on that
/ bay, and members of the Committee on
Naval Affairs insisted that that was the
/ only proper place for the station.
! High naval and military officials, the
Joint Army and Navy Board, and other
| authorities were quoted on one side or
the other. Finally Representative Foss.
chairman OF the Committee on Naval At
fairs. read a letter from Admiral Dewey.
who had been called by both sides. in
which he said:
'Subig Bay has already been fortified
in considerable strength. There have
been mounted twenty s-ineh, four 4-inch,
and ten 6-pound guns These arc suffi-
cient 10 protect Subig Bay from any at
tack from the sea, except one made by
heavy vessels in heavy force. The float
ing dock is moored at Oiongapo, finding a
sufficient depth of water. There is no
similar place at which It could be moored
in Manila Bay.
If placed near Manila or Cavlte it
would have 10 be moored some distance
from shore and in the open bay, an i'm
practicable situation not only as regards
weather, but also as regards the admin
istration and management Of work in
connection with the docking Of vessels
Iu~
bookings since its arrival at Olongapo in
July 10, 1906, for naval vessels.
Capt Hobson supported Mr.. Foss in
his claim that the defenses of the Phil
ippine Islands was a matter of control
OF the sea; that without the navy the
army could not exist in the islands six
weeks. There never would be a hostile
army there so long as We controlled the
sea, and our army, therefore, would
never be called upon 10 protect Subig
Bay from an enemy by land. He quoted
Admiral Dewey as having said 10 him
over the telephone only this morning that
now and for all time Subig Bay is the
place for q naval station"
Representative Sherley heatedly told
Hohson that without intent to criticise |
the Admiral, 1T would have been more /
dignified for him to have made his dis /
sent 10 the joint board, ana his opinion, !
therefore, would have been Of more value /
to Congress than to have uttered It by 4
telephone"
And / will tell the gentleman" fairly 1
shouted Hobson, working his arm and /
forefnger with the rapldity Of a Calling |
gun. that if the Admiral had expressed /
his dissent TO the gentleman's committee. /
he and everybody else who have made /
study Of the situation would have been 4
criticised for raising a war scaref'
Mr.. Jones withdrew his amendment in /
favor OF one by Mr.. Crumpacker, OF /
Indiana, prohibiting the expenditure of /
any Of the money for the establishment !
of a permanent naval base at OiOngapO."
After further debate, the amendment /
was rejected, y to 20

able that this amendment will be left in
the bill and the Senate will decide wheth-
Ter 1t shall be retained.
Commissioner Macfarland spent much
time yesterday before the subcommittee
and Capt. Oyster. president Of the school
board. was also heard. Mr.. Oyster asked
that the committee Increase the allow
anee for school purposes TO the amount
asked for by the board. a considerable cut
in these items having been made in the
House.
Mr.. Oyster said after the hearing that
he hoped his statement before the Sen
ators would have some weight in securing
an increase in the school appropriation.
Others who appeared before the subcom-
mittee were President Hamilton. OF the
Capital Traction Company, and President
Martin, of the Washington Terminal Com
pany.
