MAY VETO NAVAL BILL.
President Will Insist on Appropriation
for Rattieships.

Washington, April 22.-President
Roosevelt will veto the naval appro-
priation bill should the Senate, as did
the House, fail to make any appropri-
alton for the two battleships which
are authorized in the measure.
The prompt announcement or TINS
fact to Senate leaders Wednesday is
regarded as responsible for the an
nouncement by Mr.. Hale that he
priating $7,0oo,o00 toward the con
struction of those ships.
The President stated his position
on this point with usual emphasis and
suddenness today. upon learning that
the bill as passed by the house was
simply paper" provision for naval
increase. Authorization of the ship
was made, but no money carried to
make the provision effective.
Such legislation as this, the Presi-
dent made known to his numerous
congressional callers, was a travesty
as to effectiveness, as we'll as bearing
all the earmarks of legislative leger-
demaiu, intended to make ridiculous
his campaign for the greater navy.
That the Presidents quick and Wig
orous action is to be effective is evi-
denced by the action of Chairman
Hale, of the Senate naval committee,
in announcing that at the proper time
he will propose the $7,o00,0o0 amend
ment.
AS to his threat of veto, the Presi-
dent made it plain that should the wis
dom of Congress result in the passage
of bill providing for no naval in
crease whatever. he would have no
ground whatever upon which to veto
t.ie measure. Any attempt at what
he regards as a travesty on legisla-
ton by authorizing and not appropri-
ating for ships he declares he will
defeat by the exercise of his consti-
tutional power to veto.
There is not the slightest indication
that the President has ceased his
fight for four new battleships. ac'
cording to the evidence of senators
who nave talked with him. Senators
who are with the President in his
fight on this proposition admit tonight
that careful survey of their strength
in the Senate gives but vote of &c
in that body in favor of the Presi
dents naval program for four ships.
Significance is attached to this poll
of the Senate in that it is said to show
loss to the President of some of his
heretofore stanchest supporters in
that body.
Senator Lodge is understood to have
quit the fight for the full naval pro
gram advocated by the President, and
to have given his reasons personally
to the President for so doing. The
loss of the influence of the Massachu
setts senator is regarded as RESPONSE
BILE for the weakness shown by the
poll, as it is believed by those favor
ing the program that had the Presi
dents senatorial supporters entered
the fight with the vigor he has evi
dencad, his desire in this direction
might have been realized

Cattle Dipping by inspectors.

Denver.-No cattle dipping will here
after be allowed in Colorado unless it
is done under the supervision of
state or government inspector. This
is the order just issued by the State
Board Of Stock Inspection as an amend
ment to that which has been in force.
The action of the board has been made
necessary by the attitude Of the gov
ernment, which refuses to recognize or
give q clear bill of health to any cattle
that has not been dipped under the su-
pervision of one of its own inspectors
or one employed by the state. State
Veterinarian Lamb will appoint large
number Of inspectors to cover all dis.
tricts, selecting those who will work
without charge.

BROWNSVILLE ORDER JUST.
Senator eorah UphoIds Order Dis
charging Negro Soldiers.

Washington.-The ARRAY at Browns
.ille. Texas, again called forth the
most intense interest in the Senate
Monday
Senator Borah of Idaho, taking the
ground that the testimony showed con-
lusively that the negro soldiers of the
rwenty-fifth regiment shot up the
own. gave a careful analysis of the
fence in the case.
:. lere was an unusually large num-
er of senators present on both sides OF
he chamber and they carefully fol
owed the arguments presented by Mr..
B.1.ah.
The speech was made notable by
many striking passages Of oratory and
attracted general interest. Besides
containing an analysis of the testimony
taken in the Brownsville case, it was
in reply to Senator Foraker's recent
discussion of the same subject
During the speech Senator Borah
took occasion to express strong disap-
""oval of any effort to secure leniency
for Harry Orchard.
Mr.. Borah made very clear his be-
lief that the evidence established a
conspiracy on the part of some OF the
negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment to shoot up the town.
Il contend" he said, that the evil
dence in this case is simply overwhe!m-
ing and conclusive against the colored
soldiers, unless you resort to the prop
osition # conspiracy which manufac-
tured the evidence, and that is evi-
IDENTIFY the view taken by the defense
The morale of the army. he said, is
paramount to any mans right to re-
main in it. II any man in the Twenty
fifth regiment participated in the riot
and if others connived the crime, by
concealing knowledge of it to shelter
the guilty parties, then both were
guilty alike, he declared.
Mr. Borah called attention to Mr..
Foraker's suggestion that the citizens
Of Brownsville might have shot up the
town to secure the removal of the ne
gro soldiers.
Now, l confess" he said, that there
might possibly have been a desire to at
tack the soldiers, but it seems that this
conspiracy, IL it had existence. would
not have turned its guns upon it's OWN
people"
Mr. Borah reviewed at length tho tes-
timony in the case and then announced
his conclusion that "it discloses the
guilt of certain members of the Twenty
ifth infantry as participants IN tie
Brownsville affair beyond reasonable
doubt"
Mr. Borah dwelt at some length upon
the accomplishments of the negro race
since The abolition OF slavery, and
found much cause for congratulation !;
but, he said, this fact could not ex-
cuse individuals from punishment for
crime, even II such leniency should be
In the interest of the race. which 1t
would not be.
