Washington, April 18. -Criticism
o f lavish entertainment by rich Am
erican diplomats in order to estab
lish a nodal »'tending abroad was
heard In the house today In the
course of the consideration o f the
diplomatic sind consular bill.
The
occupation o f Dorchester house, I*on-
don, by Ambassador Whitelaw Held,
anil a similar display of wealth In
Berlin by Ambassador Tower, were
particularly emphasized In that con
nection.
As one means of counteracting the
effect of th«dr ostentation It was
urged by many that America slfould
own Its legation buildings.
Ttu- charge that Emperor W illiam
based his objections to Dr. Hill as
Ambassador to Berlin solely on that
gentleman’s lack o f fortune was re
peated by l.ongworth o f Ohio. He
made a strong plea for the mainten
ance by the government of suitable
legation buildings at the various for
eign capitals.
The’ diplomatic bill was passed un
der suspension of the rules. It car
ried an aggregate o f $3,520.283.
After having been In continuous

after being read, was immediately
put on its passage.

Washington, D. C., April 14.—
The message of the president In sup
port o f his plan for an appropriation
for four new battleships, concerning
which there has been so much specu
lation, was received today by both
houses of congress. There was con
siderable delay In the reading of the
message in both the senate and the
house; In the senate because Senator
Foraker was engaged In making his
Brownsville speech whed the docu
ment was received; and in the bouse
because that body was in committee
of the whole on the naval appropria
tion bill.
That the message was designed to
influence the house to increase the
number of battleships provided for
in the naval bill from two to four
was generally understood, and the
dispatch of the message was intend
ed to be so timed as to reach the
house just before taking up that pro
vision.
It was enthusiastically received by
the advocates o f a larger navy. The
‘ ’antis” later gave vent to their feel
ings by authorizing a petition from a
number of citizens of New York City,
which was read at the instance of
Mr. Tawney, protesting against "th e
extravagance of spending over $60,-
000,000 for four battleships.”
On an objection by Williams, Hob
son was prevented from reading a
memorial from laboring men favor
ing the building of more ships.
The message was a brief but vigor
ous contention for the rapid devel
opment o f the navy. China was held
up as an example of the "peace at
any price” doctrine, and Great Bri
tain as having the naval policy to be
emulated. It was contended that the
result of the last Hague conference
made it plain ¿hat the nations would
not, for sometime, if ever, agree on
a plan of limitation of naval arma
ment.
Washington, April
17.— Injunc
tion against the enforcement of state
laws can only be Issued by a major
ity of three federal judges who are
to pass upon them If a bill that
passed the senate today becomes a
law. The bill was drafted in the Judi
ciary committee from a number of
measures under consideration. It was
reported by Mr. Overman and its
provisions were-explained by him to
the senate. A substitute by Mr. Bur
kett was disagreed to.
The Overman bill was opposed by
Mr. Heyburn on the ground that the
great distances between the federal
court in the west would operate to
delay the granting of necessary in
junctions. Mr. Knox favored passage
of the bill and opposed Mr. Hey-
burn s arguments.
The senate discussed at length the
bill to appropriate the proceeds from
