Washington. - Appropriation bills
will be passed, the tariff question con.
tinued, the Lorimer case debated and
other legislation discussed in Con-
gress this week. Every effort is be-
ing made to get the supply measures
through on a right-of-way understand
ing in both houses. SO that they may
lie secured regardless of time for

ulative.

alton bill will be precipitated in the
Senate probably late in the week. with
indications favoring the administra-
tion's two battleship increase pro-
gram.
The matter will be voted on by the
Senate committee on naval affairs.
The committee has tentatively
added to the House bill 100000 ap-
preparation for the establishment of
coal and other fuel depots for war
ships. This is considered by the Navy
department as absolutely necessary TO
carry out its scheme Of providing coal
stores at such strategic points as
Pearl Harbor, Caballo Island, Tiburon.
Narragansett Bay, Guantanamo, Bos-
ton, New York and Hampton Roads.
The next project to be taken up will
be to provide for store of coal of
100000 tons at the Norfolk navy yard.
which is to be made one Of the most
important coal depots on the Atlantic
coast.
The appropriation for Pearl Harbor
dry dock has been increased by the
committee so as to make the total lim-
1t of cast $3,4S6,5OO.
The committee, as far as it has pro
ceeded, favors an amendment to re-
establish the grade of admiral at $12,-
900 year. SO as to permit the COM
manders of the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets to have an admirals rank and
pay, and the grade Of vice admiral,
with 100000 pay. to be conferred on
the second in command of each OF
these fleets.
The committee will recommend .au-
thority for liberal expenditures by the
navy to test the practical working
value of hydro-aeroplanes in fleet op
erations.

T. G. Disney, of Muskogee. Okla.
Disney felt called upon to make
a speech just outside the doors of

this morning. 1t was a fine
speech, dealing with the chances
Of a Roosevelt man getting a fair
break from the committee, and
finishing up with Disney's per-
sonal opinion of Victor Grant, U.
S. marshal, and Taft delegates
from Oklahoma.
Victor swung hard right to
the Disney mouth. The punch
brought the claret, the police and
Senator Dick of Ohio, peace
maker extraordinary.
Pat Dore, another Oklahoman
and Roosevelt booster, saw his
friend Disney taking the count,
and he landed on Victor's jaw,
narrowly missing Dick.
For FIVE minutes the place was
in an uproar, with police, national

sergeants-at-arins and Francis J.
