Battleships.

Washington. April 15.-In spite of
the presidents urgent recommendation
contained in his special message sent
to congress yesterday, that four bat
tleshlps be provided for in the naval
appropriation bill. that body is not
likely to authorize more than two at
this session.
"The naval committee will make
provision In the naval bill for only
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs. in an interview. THAT num-
Der is sufficient and there is a posi-
bility that only one may be provided
for before the bill is finally passed.
Ihere is a strong sentiment at both
ends of the capitol in favor OF onIv
one ship, although, as 1 said before
appropriation will probably be made
for two. but no more"
John Sharp Williams said that more
than two-thirds of the Democrats
would vote against four battles hips.
ana the Republican leaders appear
conhdent that at least half Of the RE-
publicans will do likewise.
