The Senate adjourned yesterday short
" after 1 o'clock until noon to-day. This

Some little misunderstanding followed
the agreement fixing the hour for vste.
Senator Aldrich had submitted the re-
quest for unanimous consent. but when

It Was Settled by Law Purely for Ne-
 cessary Defense.
 Berlin, March 23-Herr von Schoen, the secretary of foreign affaira. in a speech in behalf of Chancellor won Buelow before the budget committee of the Reichstag today. explained that during the informal exchange of notes which has occurred between England and Germany. concerning the extent and cost of the naval programs of the two countries. Great Britain gave Germany to understand that she was ready. to enter into an understanding on the subject but in the course of informal conversation. authoritative English and German officials never made any direct proposition which could be regarded as a basis for of- ficial negotiation. Therefore Germany never took up a position in the .mat- ter.
 The foreign secretary said Count von Bueiow's statements on December 10 last to the Reichstag made clear Germany's position on the question of the universal limitation of naval arma- ments and his remarks still hold good as between single powers. Germany naval program was settled by law and was purely for necessary defcnse and no threat whatsoever.
 The members of the budget com mittee unanimously expressed the hope that German and British relations would continue to develop in a friend ly spirit and not to be disturbed by the existing excitement over the na'- val construction. Herr von Schoep said this also was the desire of the whole German nation. f, -'' T
 The budget committee of the Reich stag has decided to. report the gov ernments naval estimates to the house No changes. have been made in the main features of the estimates, which provide for three dreadnaughts and one large cruiser.
 Referring to the subject or inter- national restriction of naval arma- ments, Chancellor von Buelow said in the Reichstag last December that Ger many always regarded such restriction as extremely desirable but the gov ernment doubted the feasibility of the idea, and it did not believe the pres ent was an opportune time to carry on a fruitless discussion of Germany naval armament The chancellor ex- pressed the opinion that from the very moment Germany decided to reduce her military equipment below the level re- nuired by her position in Europe. the foreign relations of the empire would become grave and peace would be seri- ously threatened.

Troy. March 23.--(Special )-Troy had one of the biggest fires about 2 o'clock this morning that has ever oc- cured here. in the burning of good part of the old fertilizer plant.
 The lint and seed buildings were de. stroyed and a part of the other build- ings were damaged. .- .L
 The loss will amount to about $50.- 900 pr s7o.oo0 but is fully covered by insurance.
 The factory was located just outside Of the city limits, but the Troy Fire Department responded to the call and did valiant service in preventing the spread of the flames.
 There are a number of small store houses and dwellings near the factory, which were in great danger for awhile. but all of them were saved.
 The lire will not interfere at all with the business of the fertilizer company. as none of their fertilizers were lost and they will continue to deliver fer tilfzers as usual. | Nine gins, complete electric light plant. ofiice fixtures and ofice records, thirty tons of cotton seed and 500 tons of cotton seed hulls were destroyed.
 Fire caught in the lint rooms and the flames spread, so rapidly that 1t was impossible for the favtory fire fighting brigade and the city fire de- partment to get 1t under control.
 A brick wall prevented a spread of the fire to the of and fertilizer de- partments. ' ,-
