STEWART APPROVIS SUBMARINE SHIPS Venture the Opinio That the War Monster will goon Become a Thing; ( the Paat. WASHINGTON, April 2& Tb senate to day paajed a bill to provide for an asso ciate Juatlo of the United State aupreme court of New Mexico. Senator Cullom gave notice that he would address the sen ate tomorrow on the subject of foreign re lation of te United States. A conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill. In which all differences were adjusted, except a to the police court and muniolpal buildings, wa presented and agreed to. A further con ference waa ordered. Mr. Hale called up the conference report on the naval appropriation bill eliminating all differences between the two houses. In making a statement ort the report Mr. Hale criticised the modern battleship. Continuing, he said: I must say that If I were secretary of the navy, In the present condition, I should not dare tn id an. and commit the government to the building of another im mense battleship costing 8,0ii0,UiO. The lessons of war between Russia and Japan thus far go to show the vulner ability and unsafely of these lofty battle ships, and tha undenlrablllty at present of committing ourselves to, it ha further con struction of them. The great and salient evils of the war show how Incomplete as an engine of war Is one of these enormous high-turreted battleships. If It is struck beiow the water line and the cenier of gravity Is disturbed It turns over Tike a urtle and everybody on board is drowned. If an exDloslon takes Dlace throuah hur ried firing In a turret ' It Is more than likely to Ignite tnermagAxtne and the whole ship Is blown Into the air and everybody on hoard killed. Aside from the occurrences in the east, where the large Russian bat tleships have been disabled and put out of service, wo have had three explosion on our own battleships within a year. Believes la Submarine Boata. Mr. Stewart' expressed the opinion that the battleship will soon be an engine of the past and a submarine craft will take their place. Continuing, Mr. Hale sold he thought congress should legislate the char acter of battleships for the navy and not leave It for the department. Mr. Allison said the discretion given to the president to defer action for a year was a wise one, because of the fact that a test of battleships was going on in a pretty lively way In the far eaat. The oonference report wa agreed to. A bill wa passed to create the Davenport division of the southern Judicial district of Iowa. Mr. McCumber called up his reso- utlons for the revision of the pension laws.

Can tha senator give the name of the companyT' aaked Mr. Aldrlch. "He haa said he would give concrete cases.' I can give the name,' and later will do so," replied Mr. Bacon, who then read a letter from Charier M. Schwab to H. C. Frick, giving tho cost' of manufacturing steel rails, by which Mr. Bacon showed that the "trust" needed the brotectlon against English steel manufacturer.. .The letter aald rails could be sola at a profit of H per top. .. . .,' ...... I' -!. Schwab' Statements Questioned- "It would be . very difficult to convince pig Iron producer of 'Alabama and sur rounding states who have been receiving 1S and 20 for. their Iron," suld Mr. Al drlch, "that the statement Is correct." 'That la information given . by . Mr. Schwab , in a private.-letter," said Mr. Bacon. ' "I don't care how ipiivat it is," ex claimed Mr. Aldrlch. '!He can b mistaken as well- as anyone else whut he states there is absolutely untrue and absurd." The general deficiency appropriation bill was sent to- conference with Messrs. Hale, Allison and Teller aa eonferees. The military academy appropriation bill was taken up and Mr, Hale made a point of order against the amendment of the reorganisation of the medical and ordnance department of the army." ' . The senate' at this point paid tribute to the memory of the late Representative Charles W. Thompson of Alabama. Eulo gies were delivered by Messrs. Morgan, Dolllver, Berry, Hopkins and Pettus.
