Pictures Of sorrow and Joy. objects
Of bloody conflict and gentle peace,
were hung in startling arrangement on
the ambient atmosphere OF the House
of Representatives yesterday.
There dangled from every skylight in
spectacular profusion. sketches of bat
ties and cannonades and highly coIored
drawings Of calmness and peace, gentle

Hobson Begs for Ships.
Hobson, clamoring for four warshIps
big enough TO level the mountains Of
Japan at a vOlley, pictured the world
as a smoldering mass of anger incar-
nate and hatred unspeakable. and the
United States as the helpless mark for
every gun manufactured outside OF this
country He spoke Of dying thousands
and bleeding millions. He mentioned
war in tones that made the members
think It was about TO blow through the
main door Of the House. Then he sat
down, called a page, and put on his
Overcoat TO keep himself from catching
cold, thus demonstrating that he be-
lieved in arming himself against any
enemy.
Burton, declaring that only one new
warship was necessary. drew a picture
OF the world that made II look like a

pleasure that peace and equanimity
reigned in the House. despite the fact
that war clouds hoated by and the world
was soon to be one fire. He predicted
that the clouds would not settle until
after the House had nEtshed the naval
appropriation bill. The Ohioan spoke
OF Roosevelt as great because OF his
having brought peace between Russia
and Japan and added that with a big
navy and the consequences which nee
essarily follow, these warning nations
would not have had the confidence in
the fairness and impartlality of the

Senator Dolliver expects to call I'd in
the Senate this week the bill for the

reasons one of them is the fact that
when the bill IS taken up IL Is certain

HEARING TOMORROW
ON ARMY PAY BILL
Difference in Senate and
House Measures Cause
of Interest.

The conferees on the army apprOpri-
alton bill VIII hold their frs meeting
tomorrow. In view OF the fact that the
Senate increased the House bin nearly
Sl5.000,000. and because Of the differ
ences between the House and Senate
bills on the subject of increase Of army
pay, no little interest attaches TO the
meeting Of the conferees-
Senator Warren will head the Senate
conferees and Representative Hull viii
be at the head Of the House conference
committee. The House bill provides
for increase in the pay Of the enlisted
men only. while the Senate bill pro
vides for increa sing the pay OF both
officers and men. The Senate bill, so
far as officers are concerned. provides
for increases that range from per
cent IN the case OF a lieutenant general
10 . per cent in the case OF the officers
of the lowest graLes.
