BOX RXE'S MYSTERY SOLVED ISuns Third-Term Utorary Bureau in Obscure Place. ORMUON1AN NKWS Ft'RBAl. Wash ington, April 16. For the past month Senator Hourne has been myaferiously disappearing every day aoon after the Senate, convened. He would not be in his commtttee-room nor at his apart ment. It waa discovered today that he h:u1 opened press-bureau headquarters at No. $ Grant Place, an obscure neighbor hood consisting mostly of cheap boarding houses, and from there he is composing and mailing vast quantities of aix'ond-cleetive-term literature, having several olearks and stenographers employed. He has been busy there several weks and his location was so out of the way that no one would have known where he was spondinc hla time had not neigh bors beetime inquisitive reiranling wagon loads of printed matter that went from this house daily. When Senators heard what Mr. Rourne was doing, they accused him of running a literary blmg pig. Mci'usker IKkx Not Seek Office. ORFXiOXIAS NKWS Bt'RKAl", Wash ngton.

AGAINST BIG NAVY ("Concluded From First Page.) $titi,641.471 lose than Knglnnd with an army of 204,300 men and a navy of lUfl.ooo men; that the Vnited States Is expending for this purpose in excess of the amount ex pended by Franco with her army of 550, uoo men and her navy of 56.285 men, Ki.tiWt, 3: Should Kcly on Patriotism. Maintaining that navies are btillt for National defense, Tawney said that it was not Intended and could not be Justi fied upon the ground that they are neces sary to satisfy an ambition to compete with other nations in time of peace in isize or number of fighting machines. He argued that in the I'nlted States the pres tige of power of the Nation did not de pend upon the "size of tho Army and Navy. The country had eighty millions patriotic people "and it is in those that the strength of our Nation exists and not In our standing army or our permanent naval establishment. He contended that our strength lay not In the size of our army but In the patriotism of the people, who should not he tatwrht to rely on a standing army and navy Jarge enough to compete with those of the world. If thore was any reason to apprehend war. It had been withheld from Congress. The geographic isolation of the United States was a more valuable means of defense than all the navies we could build. Need of Auxiliary Xavy. He then condemned the lack of an auxiliary navy, saying a more disgusting spectacle was never witnessed than the fact that the voyage of the fleet to the Pacific was only made possible by 38 for eign vessels. He concluded: It may be that this great mistake is due to the fact that a collier, which 1 as essential to the efficiency of the Navy as a battleship, is not so at tractive, does not involve the expendi ture of so much money and does not afford the opportunity for the same pyrotechnic display upon the ocean or nt the Summer resorts along the Coast and for that reason we have made the mistake of building a navy that to day, in order to make its voyage from one ocean to another, is obliged to rely upon vessels belonging to other na tions. Humphrey Tells True Motive. Humphrey of Washington read a brief note addressed to him by the President, dated April 1.1. expressing surprise that any one should oppose four more battle ships, and Humphrey, waving his hand toward both sides of the house, said that everybody knew at the bottom of the opposition to battleships was a design to create campaign material. Hayes of California said that he voiced the desire of the people of his state In speaking for four battleships. He de clared that there "is a race question on the Pacific Coast, an acute race question, and we of the Coast shall insist upon our right not to be submerged by the hordes of the Orient who are streaming across the Western sea. coolies and la nor era, to take possession of America west of tho Rocky Mountains." Parker of New Jer.ey held up the ter ritorial isolation of Alaska as one argu- 1 ment for a greater Navy. Threat Met AVlth Threat. Willett of New York asserted that a few days ago "the President said to a committee from this House who called on him at the White House said it in the presence of other people, with his customary vehemence and facial distor tions, 'that unless you give me four bat- tleships I will veto your public building bills. That's the trouble with this situ ation. Mr. Chairman. The President at tempts " Willett s was interrupted by Tfobson. who. speaking with much feeling, said: In justice to the President I wish to In firm the gentleman from N'ew York that I saw him a minute aftr he said that. He told me that he was forced to ray It be cause knowledge hart roachd him of a threat circulated In the Houae that, unless the naval prorramm was cut to two ships, the leader in tha House would to it that there was no public buildings bill at all. Vote Against Big Navy. The voting on the amendments on a regular division disclosed 79 ayes and 190 noes on Hobson's proposition to have four battleships. Hobson then demanded tellers, and the cotint prevailed by 79 ayes and 17s noes. Tawney then offered his amendment, reducing the number of battleships to one, but it was defeated by 26 noes to 65 ayes. Insisting upon some concession, Hobson devised an amendment providing for three battleships, which was voted down, 20R to 4, a larger majority than any de veloped on any other vote taken. Goldfolgle (?. Y.) moved to amend the bill by making mandatory the building of one battleship in a navy-yard, giving the Secretary of the Navy the discretion In the building of the others, either in a navy-yard or by contract. The sugges tion was adopted. Build Ships in Navy-Yards. An amendment by Toud (Mieh. provid ing for two fleet colliers of 16 knots speed and 12.500 tons capacity, costing Jl.JW.OOft each, with an additional amend ment by Maynard Ova.) stipulating that one of them shall be built In such navy yard as the Secretary of the Navy shall direct, was adopted. For this purpose $1,500,000 is appropriated to begin con struction. The provision requiring the construction of one of these vessels in a navy-yard was inserted in face of a state ment by Foss that the cost would be in creased about 10 per cent over the cost in case of construction by contract. The bill was then reported fe the House and a vote mill be taken tomorrow at 11 o'clock. The bill as it stands authorizes expenditures of $127,000,000. KOOSEYELT'S POLICY WISEST Paris Paper Says America Must Maintain Large Navy. PARIS. April 15. The Temps today expressed enthusiastic approval of President Roosevelt's reasoning in favor of providing additional ships for the American navy, especial I y the af firmation that the TTnJted States would Jose rank as a great power, not only .if she was feeble, but if she had the rep utation of Weing feeble. "France should meditate on this," the paper says. Continuing, the Temps points out that, whether the United States likes it or not, the great change In American politics of teh last ten years, as well as the inevitable march of events forc ing her into the active politics of the whole world, in which she must play her full part. Tf America wishes to avoid war with Japan, she must have a fleet perma nently In the Pacific. The American people are at present con fused as to the proper course to pursue, but Presi dent Roosevelt's policy suggests a lu minous and wise path whieh the coun try sooner or later will follow.

Clever Chinese Gun-Play. Boston Herald. One peculiar fact developed in the course of the trial in the Superior Court of nine Chlnamencharged with the mur der of one of their countrymen, and that is no Chinaman when using a revolver levels it straight at a person or at an object, but rests the muzzle of the "gun' on hia left forearm and, with the right hand holding the butt, discharges tha weapon. Counsel wanted an explanation, but could not obtain It. and later a member of one of the tongs in the corridor was asked for a reason. "Don't know why a gun Is used ' in that manner," was the response, "unless It insures more secrecy than the Ameri can way. For instance a Chinaman may wrap the gun In the folds of his sleeve, leaving only the barrel hole free. Then a shot may be fired, when It would appear as though the one who discharged the weapon had his arms folded. There would be no glint of steel and nothing but a curl of smoke to tell who dis charged the weapon." Tr.
