have potent influence IN the forth
coming contest in the senate over
the naval appropriations. which
were increased 500, 100000 by the
senate naval committee, and indif-
ference with the house IN case the
appropriation bill passes the senate
with its augmented total.

It was said authoritatively, express
ed himself as desiring a cOntinua-
ton Of the present naval building

tion.
