Washington, April 17.-Injunc-
ton against the enforcement of state
laws can only be issued by major
ity of three federal judges who are
to pass upon them If a bill that
passed the senate today becomes a
law. The bill was drafted in the judi
ciary committee from number of
measures under consideration. 1t was
reported by Mr.. Overman and its
provisions were explained by him to
the senate. A substitute by Mr.. Bur-
kett was disagreed to.
The Overman bill was opposed by
Mr.. Hepburn on the ground that the
great distances between the federal
court in the west would operate to
delay the granting Of necessary in
functions Mr.. Knox favored passage
of the bill and opposed Mr.. Hey
burns arguments.
The senate discussed at length the
bill to appropriate the proceeds from
the sale of certain public land to the
reclamation of swamp land, but
made little progress toward its pas
sage.
Washington, April 1.-THE army
is practically assured of an increase

ment on this item of the army appro-

graded the authorized increases ac-
cOrding to the various branches of
the service.
No agreement has been arrived at
on the amendment to the appropria-
tions for barracks and quarters,
which has increased to the extent OF
81 .472,5S0 by the senate, making
the total $4,500,000.

MONDAY April 10

Washington, April 13.-Unlooked-
for progress was made by the house
today. 1t considered the naval ap-
preparation bill When it was laid
aside for the day it had been only
half disposed of, and the advocates
of the four battleships were aligning
themselves, in preparation for the
fight on that subject, which prob
ably will occur tomorrow.
The hopes of the officers of the
navy and marine corps for an in
crease in pay were dashed to the
ground when, on a point of order by
en- out of the bill the provision for
such increase. On similar point by
Mudd of Maryland an amendment by
Bartholdt of Missouri forbidding
naval or marine bands accepting pri-
vate employment in competition with
civilian musicians was lost.
When the provision relating to the
naval station at AlOngapo, Philippine
Islands, was reached, the old contro-
versy over the fortification of Subig
and Manila Bays cropped out. Hob
son declared that any one who would
choose between the two would not
choose Manila Bay. The whole ques-
ton, he said, was simply one of de-
Tense.
I'VE cannot hold Subig Bay ten
days" he said. I'VE can hold Manila
Bay 90 days.
Washington. April 13.-The brief
session of the senate today was de-
voted to the transaction of routine
business and the delivery of speech
by Scott. of West Virginia. chairman
of the committee on buildings and
grounds Scott appealed to the SEN
ate to make adequate appropriations
for public buildings in Washington
City, so that official business might
be transacted with the greatest eff
cheney and economy.
Senator Foraker today introduced
an amendment 10 the railroad rate
law passed June %, 1905, providing
that the commodities clause shall not
apply to properties owned by the
railroads prior to the passage of the
law. The effect of the amendment
would be to permit railroads to con-
tinue to transport articles mined or
manufactured by them and which
they own wholly or in part, If that
ownership existed al the time the
rate bill became a law.

Washington, April 15.-By a vote
of 1919 to SS the house of represen-

presidents program for four battle
ships and adhered to the recommen-
dation of it's committee on naval af-
fairs for two vessels of that type.
This result was reached after de-
bate which lasted for four hours and

sion of the naval appropriation bill.

last section of the bill, the measure
was practically concluded with the
disposition of the provision. The
committee of the whole concluded its
work and it will report to the house

sage.
