Mr. Coke moved to amend the resolution by re- quieing: jhotice of the investigation to be given to lose Officials, and that witnesses as be sum- moned in their defense. He had no objection to this lavestigation; but he knew that the informa- ton on which 1t was based was absolutely false. All that there was in it was that some of the wit- nesses summoned to Washington were afterwards subpeenaed to appear before the grand jury at Austin; had been brought there and testified, and ‘were now in Washington. Mr. Hoar sent to the clerk's desk a communtca- tion from the Department of Justice, including copy of a telegram trom the district attorney of Western Texas to the Attorney General asking him to have the chairman of the committee wire to him “the names of important government wit- nesses Who refuse to return to ‘Texas aud hold them until subpenaed.” Mr. Coke explained that telegram to mean the compelling of all the witnesses here to appear before the grand jury at Austin. The district attorney was simply pertorming his duty actively and fairly. Mr. Hoar moved to lay Mr. Coke’s amendment on the table, A PARTY VoTE. ‘The motion was agreed to—yeas 30, nays22—a Party vote, Mr. Hoar’ resolutién was then adopted by a Party vote—30 to 19. ‘Mr, Stanford addressed the Senate in favor of @ plan Yor industrial co-operation, ‘THE TEN NEW CRUISERS BILL PASSED. ‘The Senate then resumeu the consideration of the bill to increase the naval establishment—the ten crutsers bill, ‘Mr. Maxey supported the bill. He was not only 1n favor of building war vessels, but of the fortifi- cation of every seaport in the country. He knew that this was going tocost money, but if there Was any force in the maxim “In time of peace prepare for war,” this was the time for putting tt, in practice, when the Treasury was overflowing and when the money was being absolutely wasted, ‘The question was taken on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Hale, and it was adopted without division. Other amendments were adopted and the Dill passed. TO INCREASE THE NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT, ‘The Senate then took up the bill to provide for the increase of the naval establishment. Mr. Butler moved to amend by inserting after ‘the words “heavily armed vessels” the words “for sea service,” and spoke in support of the amend- ment. Mr. Hale opposed the amendment. He admitted that it there were to be great sea fights again, lke ‘Trafalgar, the great armored vessels pos- sessed by ‘some of the Kuropean governments would be found to be most destructive. He spoke of the immense sums expended by those govern- ments in experimenting on the various styles of armored vessels. In abil, framed for that pur- pose he would not object to providing for half a dozen such ships asthe Senator from South Caro- Ina destred to provide for in his amendment; but half a dozen such ships (to put the American navy in a respectable attitude as compared With forelgn navies) would cost from thirty vy titty million dollars. ‘This bill was confined strictly to defensive, not aggressive es, He was for defensive pun first; and, after chat, i armored ships were desired, hé would favor them. But the two features’ on which Congress was how proceeding were the fast crulsers (making 1t Gangerous for other nations to engage in war witn the United stat wuse thelr commerce would be the prey of these cruisers) and the coast de- fenses, to prevent foreign fleets from bombarding the great cities of the United States and laying them under contribution by having such engines and naval structures as would beat and scatter those fleets. ‘Mr. Ingalls expressed his bellef that the float ing batteries provided for in this bill would be practically useless, He rather favored the ‘construction of fast. cruisers to prey upon the commerce of the enemy. ‘The Senate had been, within the last few weeks, appropriating millions on millions—not for tribute, but for defense. Wealthy men, who cared not how the money was to go, had been doing so. He hoped that the Senate would pause in itsheadlong career Jong enough to have some tangible information as tohow much money there was in the ‘Treasury and how far these bills would affect the surplus, about which there was so much agitation.
