June 2f. During the dlecus stcn of the navy estimates In the House of Commons today Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, conservative, scathingly criticised the deficiencies of the navy. He declared the whole admiralty system was rotten and led to great extravagance and that there was a general want of efficiency In the navy, on which depended the ex istence of the empire. Thl was the judgment of all the com missions of inquiry and had been proven a fart. Every Increase In the number of ships and every Improvement In them had been the result of outside agitation. As a rpsult of such agitation the British Mediterranean fleet was now a fourth stronger than a year ago. It was remarkable. Lord Beresford added, that both army and navy officers were com pelled to threaten to resign In order to get things righted. Great Britain had only 20.000 naval reserves Instead of the requisite 80,000, and the engine room de partments were thousands of men short. As to armament, both the t'nlted States and France possessed superior guns. Blunders would continue until a separate) business board was appointed at the admiralty and was msde responsible for the efficiency of the fleet. Treasury control was fatal to efficiency. As an instance, the speaker pointed out the case of Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who, when chancellor of the ex chequer, put bis pen (through the ammuni tion supplies after the guns had been or dered.

In aa interview to day on the subject of the forthcoming colonial conference Edmund Barton, pre mier of Australia, said hs considered that an Imperial customs union was not within the bounds of practical politics, though it might be possible many years hence. Free trade within the empire now would deprive the young communities of their main source of revenue, namely, the customs, and ren der it Impossible to carry on their Internal government successfully. Mutual tariff concessions within the empire stood on a more practical basis and he hoped to see the difficulties In the way of such conces tons removed. Ranter Probably Vnfonnded. LONDON, June 20.

ADJOURNMENT TAKEN WITHOUT 'ACTION For iVfr t raea Ilia Collcasoes to Get '" , .er In Support of Measure, Haa Broome Parly ''.irntloa. "',.. WASHINGTO. senators held Rnoi. the question of Cuban '' The republican jnce today on ,tclty and after throe, hours' dlsrussion k.Journed, subject to the call of Chairman Allison, without action. Almost all the republican senators who were In the city were present. There were eight or nine fpeeches made. In sup port of reciprocity and only two In opposi tion to the policy. This was In accord with a previous understanding that as the beet sugar senators had monopolized the atten tion of the conference on Wednesday night, their opponents today would hsve the greater share of the time. The speeches In support of the reciprocity bill were made by Senators Foraker, Beverldge, Lodge Hale, Warren, Aldrlch, McComas and Hanna, Senator Piatt of Connecticut adding a fow words to what he had said at the Wednesday evening meeting. The two speeches In opposition to the proposed leg islation were made by Senators Burton and urrows. The speeches for reciprocity were all along the same general line and without exception were pleas for legislation and for psrty harmony. Foraker PIcada for Unity. Senator Foraker opened proceedings with an appeal to his party colleagues to get together In support of this measure, which had, he said, become a party question, hav- iDg been made so by the attitude not only f the present chief magistrate, but by that of his honored predecessor. He said with some appearance of feeling that men could ot be with the party at one time and gainst it at another and maintain their prestige. He also spoke of the necessity of maintaining the most cordial relations with Cuba. Senator Beverldge dwelt on the growing importance! of American trade with the out- Ide world and eald the present opportunity to extend our hold on the good will of the Cuban people should not be loet- Senator Lodgo dwelt with especial weight on the Importance of the republican sena tors standing together at this critical point In the party's history. Much prestige and future national standing, he said, might de pend on the step now taken, for all thj world was watching with Interest our reatment of the Cuban people. He de clared that opposition would not suffice to prevent the continued presentation of this matter until success should be obtained, nd was quite positive that If reciprocity with Cuba was not secured now It would be later. Warren Favora Harmony. Senator Warren spoke briefly In the In terest of party harmony. He thought that all the resources of the republican senators ought to be exhausted to secure co-opera tion before attempting to take final action. Senator McComas declared his adherence to the senate reciprocity bill, saying that he considered It In the Interests of the whole country to enact such legislation as was outlined In that measure. Senator Hale said that It would be dis tinctly understood that in supporting this measure he did not surrender his principles aa a protectionist. He was Inclined, he said, to hesitate somewhat before accept ing the modern day reciprocity Idea, but reciprocity with Cuba he regarded as en titled to somewhat different consideration from reciprocity with other countries, be cause of the obligation we had assumed to ward that Uland. He believed that the Cuban people would secure the benefit of the proposed reciprocal relation with that country and said he was willing to set Cuba up In housekeeping. Senator Aldrlch spoke at some length. He dwelt with special emphasis on the necessity of the party's presenting a solid front at this time and with respect to this measure. Senator Hanna Talks of Aid. Senator Hanna spoke on the question of extending the proper sld to Cuba as a moral question, saying that our obligations to the Cuban people wore such that we would not be true to ourselves as a nation If we should fall to give them an encouraging hand at the beginning of their national career. He referred to President McKlnley's attitude on this subject and quoted the president's Buffalo speech as making it Imperative on thla government to enter into proper re ciprocal relations with Cuba. The meeting had almost concluded when Senator Burton of Kansas took the floor to make a brief but Impassioned and eloquent speech In support and defense of the atti tude of the beet sugar republicans. He took aa his text certain remarks which had been made by Senator Piatt of Connect icut at the Wednesday evening meeting and by Senator Foraker at today's meeting. He spoke especially with reference to an Inti mation that the beet augar senators were not loyal to the party. The conference adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman and It is generally be lieved that another meeting will occur soma time next week.

WASHINGTON, June 20. Debate on the Philippine civil government bill continued today la the house from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m. and at a session held tonlcht. The speakers were given close attention, earh side enthusiastically applauding Its respect ive orators. Mr. Jones of Virginia, the ranking minor ity member of the Insular affairs committee, concluded his speech begun yesterday. The other speakers were: Messrs. Hamilton of Michigan and Kahn of California for the bill, and Patterson of Tennessee against it. Mr. Kahn's speech was largely an Interesting personal narrative of his expeclences In the Philippines last summer. The Isthmian canal bill was sent to con ference after the senate amendment had been nonconcurred In. The house reiterated the position It had taken on the array appropriation, bill by Ignoring the action of the senate and send ing the bill back to the senate after voting to adhere to Its disagreement to the sen ate's objectionable army post amendments. Mr. Jones referred to the statement la- sued by Secretary Root yesterday, giving 1170.000,000 as the total coat of the United States of our control of the Philippines. He said that In making up the account he had no doubt the secretary of war, "the rank and the partisan of them all," had ex cluded every possible item In order to re duce the amount to a minimum. But even the astute secretary of war, he ssld, had furnished no estimate of the blood the pos session of the Islands has cost. He thought fully 100,000 Filipinos had perished directly or Indirectly as a result of the war waged against them and that 10.000 American lives had been lost or wrecked. Mr. Hamilton of Michigan, also a member of the insular committee, followed with a set speech In support of the bill. After referring to the democratic denunciation of Mr. McKlnley's "Imperialistic policy," Mr. Hamilton said: "Now that he Is dead, I venture the prediction that It will not be long before gentlemen on the other side will have appropriated his memory to their own uses and will have his picture among their own stage properties snd will be quoting his utterances as 'apples of gold and pictures of silver,' even as they are quoting the utterances of Abraham Lincoln. At tne conclusion of Mr. Hamilton's re marks Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appro priations committee, aBked unanimous con sent for the consideration of the confer ence report on the sundry civil appropria tion bill. In urglug the necessity for Im mediate action, Mr. Cannon expressed the hope that congress would be able to reach a final adjournment by July 4. Mr. Patterson of Tennesese objected. Mr. Hull of Iowa called up the army ap propriation bill. He offered a resolution to disagree to all the senate amendments. except 13, 14 and 15 (relating to army posts). As to 13 and 14 the resolution provided that the house adhere to i'.s disagreement and as to 15 It recede and agree to the umendment. It was the action of the house on this bill (In Instructing Its conferees) which caused the controversy with the sen ate regarding the right to take such sction. Mr. Kahn ef California concluded the de bate for the afternoon in a sptexa which was listened to with close attention by mem bers on both sides of the house. It waa largely a personal narrative of hla trip to the Philippines last year. He told ot a per sonal interview with Agulnaldo, at which the latter admitted that no promises of In dependence had been made to him by Dewey and Wlndman. At 5 o'clock Mr. Kahn yielded the floor and a recess was taken until 8 o'clock. REACH PARTIAL AGREEMENT Conferees of Two Homes Come to an I'nderatandlna- on Portions of Appropriation Bill.
