While a serIes or amendment to give extra compensation to various employes of the house was adopted Mr. Dlngley . republican or Maine , protested mildly against the prodigal liberality. Mr. Tracey , democrat or New York , offered - tered an' amendment 10 give the employes at gve the house ' and setiale an extra month's pay. ' Mr. Sayers attempted to amend this , proposl- 'ton , by excludIng from the benefits of the amendment those employes who bad been voted extra compensation , but this motion was voted down. Mc LivIngston , democrat or Georgia offered - rered another amendment to that of Mr. TraclY to give an extra month's pay to the IndIvidual clerks to members. Mr. Sayers , chairman at the committee on appropriations . protested against the Livings- , ton ( amendment , whIch , he said , proposed to i give to members $100 for extra cleric hire. ' "There are members " saId he . "who do not payout $25 a month for clerk hIre. " "Who are they ? Name them ! " shouted a chorus of members. "Both Mr. Turner ant Mr Black or Georgia , I understand , do not pay more than 25 a month for cleric hire " $5 11r. Decker , democrat ot MissourI , In the same tone declared that It was an appropri- aton to members at an extra $100. Mr. WillIams . democrat cr MississippI . be- loved the amendment was just and declared his intention of supporting It. Mr. Tracey democrat of New York , ap- Ilealed to members to vote the amemlmenl own. "If It Is carried anti reported to the house , " said he , "a roll call would be do- le- mmianded , and we all appreciate the difficulty of obtaining a majoriy for such a large ap- prollrlaton where members have to go on record. " ( .aughter. ) The LIvingston amendment was carried 87 to 70 , and as amenle,1 , the Tracey amendment - moot was also arled , 93 to 61 . Mr. Dockery gave notice that he would demand a yea ant nay vote In the house . In a brief speech he warned time democrats or the house that the appropriations were amounting up to near the billion limit , anti unless a halt was caled they would exceed those or the Fiy.frst congress.

' Speculation n8 to the J'om1 that the New Vrf",11 wIn Take. WASHINGTON Feb. 23.-The acUon of the house In accepting the recommendations ' or Secretary Herbert lookIng to the addition to our navy of three battleshIps and twelve torpedo boats i has stirred the department of- dais to an : uluua ! degree , or 'actiyity. ' for "It the means much worl fet hem during coming s mmer. Already they hnve begn to outline roughly time main features or the vessels , and while there can be no official plans untIl the board 01 burechlet have been Instructed by Secretary Herbert to con- sIder the subject It Is already apparent from the expressions ot the officers who will have to design the battleships that , Uiese will . In general , be patterned after IhO Iowa the largest - est and most powerful of our new ships , which Is now rapidlY nearIng completion. The department has always strIven In each design to profit by the experIence or other vessels or like typE and to avoId slavIsh copyIng or models , and while this wil be the course pursued In the casa oC the nw battle- chips , It Is believed that the varIations tram time erlglnal model of the Iowa will be fewer than Is ustaly the case. The reason for thIs belief Is that there has been no marl.ed novelty or design here or abroad within the last two years In the case or battleships . and any changes In the Iowa's plans are likely to be In maters of detail generally rather than In the whole. Probably the fne.t battleships . ships In the world arc those or the Royal SovereIgn ! class , which Great Britain Is just putting afloat , and It Is safe to say that t conditions admItted our new ships would \ on their lines. But tfle Is scarcely pcsslbie for at least two geed reasons In the first place , such a ship would cost more than tht limit fixed by congress , anti , secondly , I could . uot . enter ' more . than two , harbors .on our Atlantic coast Tne Iowa uraws weney . four feet of water , while the Royal SovereIgn typa draw twenty-seven feet. The.e British ships art or a great size having a dlsplac2- met or 1,000 tons or as much as time great Atmte : liners , whIle the Iowa's displacement Is 11,410 tons. The naval designers believe ( rom their experience wIth the torpeo boats , for time building or whlcn proposals have just been received that whit the money which Is allotted for the new ships they w'l bo able to build them somewhat larger than the Iowa , Increasing the le'gth and beam without altering the draft. ' i MaterIal amid labor Is , cheaper than when the Iowa was contractell for and there are sIgns that the competition among ship builders for these t new ships will be much keener than herelofore , so that more can be accomplshed with time aame allowance of mooney . In case It should thus be posible to increase the size oC the ships , the ordnance officers . are contemplating adding a hevler battery to them , uslnthlr IHnch guns Instead . stead or twelve-Inch guns for the mal bat- tery , and con lderably Increasing the number or steel rapid-firing and machine guns which are rlorted to have clOne such great execution In the Japanese naval fighting. I the new process ot treating armor comes UII to ex ectalrns It Is also probable that the thickness of armor 01 the skies of time ships will be IlmlnlsheJ and the armor protection extended to cover thC ends or the vessels , the Intorlance or which was also shown by the ( experience or the Japanese army , NO v.\USI IOJt L'gisuIE. : Wlrk , or Mare hlalt Navy Yard Ucrcodrd ly Nmtvmit ( ) tlm'IutIp' .

DUEW TIUlm OF A 1IND. Congress Gets n TrIo of "elcs trout the l'r.'sidemmtlmil Dciii. WASHINGTON , Feb. 23-The president today sent to congress three veto messages. One vetoed a house hill to Incorporate Ute SocIety of American 1lorlsts. On this hill tile presIdent comments as follows : "No sufcIent reason Is apparent for the Incor- porton or this organIzatIon under federal laws There Is not the least difficulty In the way or the , accomplIshment under slate Iuvs : by the Incorporators named In tim bill or every purpose which can legitimately belong to their corporate existence.

" Another veto bill was one authorizing the Kansas City , Oklahoma & Pacific Railroad company to construct and operate I railway through time Indian reservations In the In- dIan territory and the territories or Oklahoma - homa and New Mexico. The president says ot thIs measure that It conlalns concessions more comprehensive and sweepIng than any ever presented for hs : approval , and It seems to him the ' rights and Interests or the In- , diana ali the government are tIme least pro- tected. The route alJparenty Ieslred Is described - scribed as Indefinitely as possible ; there Is no provisIon for obtaIning the consent ot the IndIans through whose territory the rairoad may be located . and though I 18 proposed to built ! time road through territories hav- Inl convenient local courts , all controversies arIsing are to be passed upon by the UnIted States circuit and district courts for Kan- aas "and suCh other courts as mar be an- thorlzed by congress " In conclusion the pl'caldent says : "In constructing legislation or thIs description It should not bo forgotten that the rights anll Interests or tIme Inelana mire Important In every view and 8hould bo scrupulously protected " The third vetoed bill granted a pension to Hiram n. lUmen , whose nlme , the president says , was removed rrom the pension rolls after he hall fraudulently received a pension for nearly tweoty-two years , and the presl- dent ala atenton to a letter . written In 1892 hy the commissIoner , or ponslons , denouncing - nouncing Hhea's claim as a barefacell and Impudent fraud , supporled by deliberate per- jury.
