VAR ON SHIP BILL RENEWED
REPUBLICANS AND INSURGENTS
FORCED BACK ON DEFENSIVE.
Administration Forces Declare Meas
ure WEI Not Be withdrawn
No Thought of Yielding.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Administra,
ton forces of the senate succeeded in
forcing the Republicans and Insurgent
Democrats back to the defensive in
the fight over the government ship
purchase bill.
Accepting the inevitable leaders of
the opposition at once renewed their
unrelenting oratorical war on the bill,
to be continued if necessary until ad.
journment on March 4. General de.
bate was resumed in another protract
ed session which continued until a
late hour at night.
Democratic champions Of the bill
asserted emphatically that the bill
would not be withdrawn and that the
great appropriation bills would be left
untouched should the opposition in.
sist upon preventing q vote on the
pending measure. The president init.
mated to White House callers during
the day that there was no thought of
yielding to enemies of the proposed
legislation. Such situation, it gen.
orally was conceded, was almost Ger.
tain to lead to an extra session of
congress. VA
Debate Is Renewed.
The only way to obviate this, it was
suggested, probably would be for the
senate to adopt some form of cloture
to force a vote on the ship bill, but
even the administration leaders deem.
ed this to be very unlikely.
Republicans and Democratic insur.
gents had to renew the debate when
Senator Fletcher offered a motion to
recommit the bill with instructions to
the committee to report it with amend.
ments forthwith.
When he sought to get vote on his
motion an effort was made by the
opposition to recess until today This
motion was lost by vote of 48 to A.
with Senator Kenyon the only absen
tee Senators Norris and La Toilette
voted against the recess, while Sen
ators Clarke, Camden, Bankhead
Hardwick, Hitchcock, O'Gorman and
vardaman, the seven Democratic re
] VOTERS, stood solidly with the Republi
can minority.
Unable to recess or adjourn, the op
position again took up the task Of
talking the bill to death. Senator
Lodge opened the discussion, declar
ing that no vote on the Fletcher mo
ton would be permitted If it could b,
avoided.

tanned by British.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 9.-The steamer
Dacia, cotton laden, from Galveston,
was held up on the second stage Of

1T has just been shown what the
strength Of these expeditions might
be, as we'll as the time required for
any one Of them to develop its whole
effective force. Hence it can be seen,
when we take into consideration the
possible two months delay provided
by the navy, that our system should
be able to furnish 100000 trained and
organized mobile troops at the out
break of the war and to have at least
500, 900 more available within 80 days
thereafter. Here, however. it must be
pointed ont that two expeditions alone
will provide force large enough to

must be remembered that unless the

only by adding a mobile force to the
