It called upon the secretary of the navy to re port the cost of three additional sub- marines for the Pacific coast, two for Puget sound and others for Gray's har- bor, Washington.
 Vigorous defense of states rights in dealing with violations of civil rights or with special state elections where troops have been called into service served to enliven the debate in the house of representatives in connec- tion with the consideration of the bill to codify the penal laws of the United States.
 A number of democrats, mostly from southern states, strenuously sought by amendment to reserve to the states themselves discretion as to the quali- fications of voters or of persons to serve on juries, and to limit the pow CTS of federal judges in certain cases; but every attempt failed. The repub- licans presented a solid front and the votes all were on party lines.
 The recent issue of bonds by the secretary of the treasury for the pur- pose of relieving the financial strin- gency was the subject of an animated debate in the senate. The discussion was precipitated by an inquiry by Sen ator Culberson and was participated in by Senators Aldrich, Tillman and Bailey. It resulted in an agreement to postpone further controversy until a statement can be received from Sec retary Cortelyou. While the subject was under discussion, MT.
