Declaring that In the design of vessels of the battle fleet, the space and weight assigned to am munition has been so restricted that the ammunition on board, uuder certain con ditions of battle, would be expendod in less than an hour, Rear-Admfral Mason, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, in his annual report urges the building of two vessels of considerable size, one on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific Coast, devoted exclusively to the carriage of am munition, and he states that ultimately' there should be one of these vessels with each fleet. The lessons drawn from the war with Spain. Admiral Mason says, lead him to also recommend the equipping of an aux iliary vessel for use as a machine shop and store vessel with the fleet.. In ex plaining his estimates for a considerably Increased appropriation for target prac tice.

On the subject of armor, it is stated that the standard of quality re quired by the imreau is still met in a most satisfactory manner, while experi ments ' with high explosives such as bursting charges for shells have pro gressed far enough to justify the expecta tion that such an explosive can be adopt ed In the near future. IV BIJYCE TAKES EMBASSY Irish Affairs AVill Bo Run by Churchill or Shaw. LONDON, Dec. 14. Parliamentary cir cles here show much interest in the prospect of James Bryce's appointment to the Ambassadorship at Washington, and some of the Irish members asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if they might congratulate him.

Should Mr. Bryce go to Washington, it Is by no means certain that Winston Spencer Churchill, now tinder-Secretary for the Colonies, will take his place In the Cabinet, as has been suggested.

GOSSIP OF CAPITOL Anecdotes About Men Who Make the Laws. CULLOM'S SLENDER TEAM Horses Built to Match Slim Senator. . Humphrey and Mann's W'ord Combats Foraker Puts, Pen rose to Silence. OREGONlXN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 14. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, is probably the slenderest man in the Senate, and the tallest, with the exception of the Vice-President. One day. as Mr. Cullom left the Capitol, he noticed that the span of sorrels at tached.to his carriage was apparently underfed, and ho called the attention of his coachman to their condition. "John, what's the matter with those horses?" he asked. "'Taint nothin' the" matter with them." replied the darkey, who was himself built on the Cullom plan. "But. John," continued the Senator, as he walked around the horses, taking in their many points, "our horses are not as. nice and glossy and fat as Sec retary Taft's team." "I reckon, Mr. Cullom."' replied the darkey, ' you and me and your horses ain't in Mr. Taft's class. You and me is lightweights and don't need such heavy horses as Mr. Taft does." Humphrey and M,anti at It. Representative' Humphrey, of Wash ington, dearly loves an argument. He would be sorely disappointed if he was allowed to make a speech in Con gress without being, interrupted. Rep resentative Mann, of Illinois, loves a "scrap" just as well as Mr. Humphrey. The Washington Congressman was talking on the pilotage bill the other day, and remarked that he would like to see the burden of foreign vessels made heavier in the hope that it would aid vessels flying the American flag. The following colloquy ensued: Mr. Mann That is a. selfish motive on the part of the gentleman. Mr. Humphrey Yes, I am always selfish in favor of Anierican vessels. Mr. Mann Representing the coastwise districts. There are .some members of the House who do not live on either the At lantic or the Pacific Coast. Mr. Humphrey Yes, and there are- some members who do not seem to realize that there is a Pacific or an Atlantic Coast. Mr. Mann And there are some who do not seem to realize the Atlantic and Pa cific Coasts are not the whole" thing:. That Is something which it is difficult to make the gentlemen who iive "on the coast realize." (Applause and laughter.) Mr. Humphrey Yes, and some gentlemen, do not seem to know there Is any coast or any interest when it comes to any legisla tion hat does not directly affect the corn fields. (Laughter. ) The Speaker dropped his gavel and let it go as a drawn battle. Roland for Penrose's Oliver. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, would never be called a jovial man; he Is rather inclined to be gruff. He was discussing his resolution on the negro troop question, when he alluded to the resolution of similar purport introduced by Senator Foraker. . He violated all precedents by presenting his resolution to the Senate before the President's message had been received, because he wanted to be 'first in the field and. hoped to reap political benefit thereby. When Mr. Penrose presented his reso lution, Mr. Foraker laid his before the Senate, with the explanation that he hud not intended doing so until the jnessage had been received. The next day in his speech Mr. Penrose alluded to the "anguished tones" of Mr. Foraker when he presented his resolu tion. Mr. Foraker understood Mr. Pen rose to say "angry tones," but to be sure he rose and interrupted Mr. Pen rose. Mr. Penrose ignored the Ohio Senator, and kept on talking. Finally the Vice-President intervened and asked Mr. Penrose if he would yield. .' "I will be through in a minute,'" he skid peevishly, . "and then the Senator from Ohio can have the floor." ' It was such an impolite retort as might have been expected from Mr. Penrose. But later on Mr. Foraker made his speech, and chanced to make a cutting remark that aroused Mr. Penrose. Jumping to his feet, the Pennsylvania Senator at tempted to break in. With a sarcastic smile, Mr. Foraker turned to -Mr. Pen rose, saying: "I will be through in a little bit, and the Senator can take the floor and deal in questions of anguish or anger, as he may see fit." Mr. Penrose subsided. Same Speech Three Ycnrs After. Senator Morgan will-make Panama canal speeches .as long as ho lives. He has been talking about the rsthmiSn canal for the past 20 years, and a col lection of his various speches on the subject, bound in book form, would make a good-sized library. He used to talk about the Nicaragua canal, but whfn Congress adopted the Panama route he turned cynic and has been criticising the work ever since. He made his first canal speech of the present session the day after the read ing of the President's message.. Colonel "Bill" Sterrett, of Texas, for . many years a Washington correspondent, chanced to drop into the press gallery after an absence of three years. He rushed out immediately. "Say," he exclaimed, "old man Morgan Is still talking about the canal. The last thing I heRrd when I left the gal lery three years ago was Morgan on that same subject. Don't he ever quit?"

Mr. Busch yesterday said: 'If there were not so many stingy rich men in the United States, every man with an income would be paying his fair proportion of Government taxes. "A man with money Is so fortunate that I believe he should be respectably liberal. I have always wondered why it is that those of us who have so much of this world's goods still want to gt more and more still, and never siiar our prosperity with others. "Now, 1 don't want to decry men for accumulating money. That's what I call thrift. We can't'have too much of it in, this country. But this tiling of the wealthy man objecting because the Government wants to put on a' tax that may affect him is silly and ' short sighted." .
