SENATE INCREASES FLEET.
Upper Body Adds Eight Millions to
Naval Measure and Passes 1t.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Congress
worked away steadily today and to-
night on its task of cleaning up sup
ply bills, which must be out Of the
way before adjournment on March
4. The senate passed the naval bill,
s152,000,000, the Notifications bill,
s6,000,00O, and the diplomatic bill,
S4,200,000, while the house spent the
day debating the general deficiency
measure, with Interruptions now and
then to dispose of conference reports.
The senate added about sS,000,000
to the naval bill as it passed the
house, providing in the two battle
ship construction programme for five
sea-going submarines instead of one,
for sixteen instead of eleven coast
defence submarines. for gunboat
and for a hospital ship, and adding
s1,000,o00 for an armor plant and
100000 for projectile factory.
Senator Smoot vainly sought to
have authorized the construction of
fifty sea-going and twenty-five coast
submarines, declaring that no man
can tell when the European disturb
ance will involve this country in diff
fculties." This precipitated gen.
eral discussion of the war.
Fortifications Bill.
The fortifications bill was passed
without amendment, so it now goes
to the president for his signature.
Some s25O,000 was added to the dip
lomatic billand a paragraph calling
on the president to collect from
Cuba $500, 200, the expense of the
American army of pacification, was
stricken out on a point Of order.
The house agreed to most Of the
senate Amendments to the army bill,
but refused to accept several, includ-
ing one eliminating the prohibition
against stop watches and other
"speeding-up" methods in army
shops. For the item of $4,000 to
be spent by the president in connec-
ton with the formal opening of the
Panama canal, the house substituted
s50,O00 in the legislative. executive
and judicial bill, and instructed it's
conferences to insist upon that
amount.
