The conference report adjusting diff
ferences between the Senate and House
on the Navy Department appropriation
bill was adopted late yesterday by the
Senate and sent to the House after q
! threat of filibuster had given leaders
another scare.
House approval of the report will send
the Navy bill, carrying $12.370,000 fol-
starting the cruiser program, to the
White House. Senator Blaine, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin, forced the report aside
! in the Senate carly in the day. but
when 1t came up later, the opposition
collapsed
Faced with an apparent filibuster
leaders had armed themselves with a
petition to invoke the seldom used
cloture rule shutting off debate. But
with night session appearing as a
possibility. the opposition yielded and q
vote was permitted
The naval bill provides 100000 fo,
starting work at once on the first five
of the Is cruisers. Another 100000

First Intellectual
Inventory Made by
Society in l795
Survey by Philosophical
Group Includes Schools
and Peach Decay.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
| PHILADELPHIA, February 28.-Al-
though hailed by press and public as an
innovation, the intellectual stock-tak-
ing now being conducted by the Amer
lean Philosophical Society is not with
out precedent it was stated yesterday
by DR.. Francis X. Dercum, president.
DR.. Dercum quoted records of the
society, the oldest learned society in the
Western Hemisphere, which disclose
that as long ago as 1895, under the
presidency Of David Rittenhouse, the
same organization was engaged in an
enterprise similar to that under way
today. An adequate public school sys-
tenn, more efficient pumps for sailing
vessels, better and cheaper methods of
heating rooms and the prevention Of
decay in peach trees-subjects which
| today seem proSaic-those were the
problems which cried to science for solu-
ton century and a quarter ago and
on which the American Philosophical
Society conferred its attention.
1T Is true" said DR.. Dercum, that
| the stock-taking of that day was
much more limited in scope and more
materialiStic in intent than the one
we are now embarked upon, yet its pur-
| pose was the same-to ascertain the
| days needs and to develop a program
| designed to help meet them"
The society's first stock taking, accord
ing to DR.. Dercum. was authorized at
the meeting of February 6, 1895, as is
| shown by the following excerpt from
the minutes of that date:
Council recommended to allot GER
tain sum to be disposed of in premiums
to the authors of the best essays or
performances on certain specific subjects

OIL LEASE INQUIRY
SHIFTED BY SENATE
Salt Creek Matter Turned
Over to Justice Depart

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate lands committee yester-
day turned over the investigation into
the leases of the Salt Creek, Wyo.. oil
fields to the Department of Justice with
a reservation to reopen its own inquiry
If the situation demands.
This decision ended four-day con-
test within the committee over the reso-
luton of Chairman Nye, seeking to con-
tinue the committee inquiry. The re-
suit was regarded as a compromise
between those who wanted to end the
hearing and those wanting further in
veStigation by the committee.
Thomas Sterling, counsel for the
committee, recently reported after six
months of study that In his opinion the
leases on the Salt Greek field we're valid.
Senator Nye was dissatisfied and asked
further investigation.
After days of wrangling Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana offered the
resolution to transmit the Sterling re-
port and other evidence by the commit

tee to the Department of Justice for its
study. Chairman Nye alone voted
against this, hoping to get a separate
committee inquiry.
The committee then unanimously
adopted a resolution to continue the
authority of the committee into the
next session. but providing that further
investigation should be undertaken only
upon a majority vote.
