NAVAL PROGRAMME FOR 1910
Adopted by House and Naval Appro-
priation Bill Passed.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Exactly as re-
ported by the committee, the naval
programme for the fiscal year 1910
was adopted today by the house of
representatives and the naval appro-
priation bill was passed. The op-
ponents Of increases for the navy
found themselves in a hopeless minor
ity. The only vital alteration made
in the measure was elimination Of the
provision restoring marines to naval
vessels. The aggregate amount ap-
propriated by the bill is s135, 900, 900.
AS has been the case in the past, the
increases in the naval estimates gave
rise TO long and heated debate, in
which members had an opportunity to
air their views on the japanese ques-
tiOn. The advocates Of peace were
much in evidence in opposition to such
increase, but the supporters Of the in
creases were alive to every effort to
cut down the number Of vessels au-
ahorized.
