German coast line by the Danish fleet.
1t fell to the lot of a non-Commis-

to bring his genius to bear on the
problem of how to act secretly against
h Danish fleet and prevent the
havoc and hardship that a rigid
blockade always imposes on coast
towns.
"'Several influential citizens backed
up the ideas of Corporal Bauer, with
the result that a submarine was laid
down in the yards of Mcssrs. Schuffcl
& Hovald at Kiel in 1880. She was
hastily constructed Of sheet iron and
was launched under the name of Sea
Diver. The moral effect of n suhma-

Fire Marshal Nicholson today inves-
tigated a fire that broke out in stor-
age building and lumber shed at Wash

morning shortly before / o'clock. When
the fire was discovered the fire COM
pany at the barracks turned out, but
so much Roadway had been gained that
it was necessary to call upon the city
fire department for aid.
The fire marshal found that about
$4,000 worth of lumber was destroyed.
while the damage to the building and
sheds amounted to $1,000. He learned
that some men were near the sheds.
where they had constructed an oven OF
bricks and were enjoying fire. Sparks
from that fire. the fire marshal sug-
gested. probably caused the trouble.
Members of the fire department pre-
vented the FIRE from spreading, to
structures other than the one In which
it originated An investigation is be-
ing made by the military authorities to
determine who is responsible for the
fire.

Fight Over Appropriations.

The big fight this next session will
be over the appropriation bills, Sem
ator Overman predicted today, partic-
ulary the army and navy bills and the
question of national defense. Senator
Overman said that he was in favor of
materially strengthening the navy, but
that he was opposed to the creation of
a large standing army. He said that
he would favor, however. legislation
increasing the military and naval acad-
emies for the instruction of officers Of
the army and navy, and also for train.
ing larger bodies Of young men through.
out the country in military tactics.
Outside Of the appropriation bills the
two subjects which promise to loom
large in the next session of Congress
are the rural credits bill and the ship
ion, the question Of revenues for the
government will have to be met. He
said that some of the democrats were
seriously in favor of keeping a reve-
nue. tax upon sugar, which next year
was destined to go on the free list
uader the present tariff law.
October is the subcommittee Of the
Senate judiciary committee appointed
to revise those statutes not covered
in the more recent >revfsions Of the
judiciary and criminal laws will meet
in Washington. Senator Overman is
chairman Of this committee, and the
other members are Senator's Walsh,
Montana. and Sutherland of Utah. The
laws which will be revised. are those
dealing with fee systems, salaries OF
clerks of federal courts, court pro-
cedure and several other important
subjects.

One of Reasons for Session.

One of the reasons for which u spe-
cial session Of the Senate has been adj
vocated was for the purpose of taking
up a cloture rule. But undoubtedly any
attempt to put through a cloture rule
will meet with such resistance that if
the democrats are determined to put
such rule through they will have to
give up all other matters for weeks,
possibly months, in order to get a vote
on the proposed cloture rule.

and other senator's that Congress will
be able to complete its work by June
