Washington, July 18.-sThe senate today adopted the enlarged building programme of the naval bill by a viva VOce vote. It provides for the con- structiOn within three years of 157 war vessels of all classes and for four dreadnOUghts and four battle cruisers to be built next year.
 By a vote of 48 to IS, the senate re- jeCtCd an amendment to require three of the new battleships to be kept on the Pacific coast. It was argued tnat the amendment would be an infringe ment on the constitutional authority of the president as commander in chief of the navy.
 Senators Jones and Phelan insisted that the Pacific coast always had been sighted in naval ships, and the latter emphasized dangers Of Japanese inva- sion. Opponents of the amendment declared that the amendment would prove a great embarrassment to the navy and declared the Pacific coast all ways would be adequately protected in the assignment of war craft
 Senator ClapD opposed the build ing programme and secuted the danger of war with a foreign power.
