The naval appropriation bill, with a three-year building programme, including the im mediate construction of four dread noughts, four great battle cruisers and 58 other craft, passed the Senate late today by a vote of 71 to 8. It carries 1315,826.843, or 45. 857,588 more than the total as the measure passed the House. Many proposals to curtail the enor mous buildinir increases written into the measure by the Senate naval com mittee weij defeated overwhelmingly and as soon as final passage was an nounced the Senate voted to insist on its amendments and send the bill at once to conference. The House is ex pected to insist on its building pro gramme and a long struggle is In pros pect before an agreement is reacnea. Leaders of Both. Parties Agreed.

As it passed the House, the measure made no provision for a continuing building programme, and authorized only 72 ships, including five battle cruisers and no dreadnoughts. Administration Considers Outcome. Administration leaders regard it as practically certain that in the confer ences between the two Houses at least four battle cruisers and two dread noughts to be contracted for at once will be agreed on.

Later, however, Mr. Lillis complained to George Dennis, local agent of the North Bank, of not feeling, well, but said he believed his condition was due to something he had eaten and ventured the opinion that he would recover in a few hours. At about 8 o'clock he and his family went to the Strand Theater. Not feel ing well enough to sit through the performance, he asked his wife to meet him outside after the show. Soon thereafter he was picked up in an un conscious condition and taken to the City Hall, where T3t. Van Vlerah, of Seattle, and Dr. Van Dusen, of Astoria. attended him. For a time no one knew Mr. Lillis Later, however, George Dennis identi fied him and had the patient removed to his home, where Mr. Lillis died early this morning.

Although both- Oregon President, Horvever, Thinks Greater Renlts Can Be Accomplished by Broader Discussion. WASHINGTON. July 21. Official an nouncement of the course to be fol lowed in seeking a peaceful solution of the problems arising from conditions along the Mexican border probably will be made either tomorrow or early next week. It appeared certain tonight that the Washington Government was prepared to accept the commission plan1 proposed by General Carranza in his note of July 11, made public yesterday in Mexico City, but there are indications that President Wilson would prefer a more far-reaching discussion than this com munication suggested. The note of July 11, as published in Mexico City, would limit the proposed commission to discussion of three spe cific points withdrawal of American troops from Mexico; arrangement of a reciprocal agreement under which the troops of either government might cross the border In pursuit of bandits. and investigation of the bandit raids on American towns to determine what Interests promoted them in an effort to force intervention. While it now is certain the V ash- ington Government has no objection to discussion of any of these questions, there have been intimations that Presi dent Wilson hoped much greater re sults could -be accomplished toward restoration of tranquillity and stable government in Mexico than this limited field would permit. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 21. Having demonstrated, with the assistance of one of the lead ing hatters of the country, that Jack- rabbit fur is suitable for the manufac ture of felt bats. Representative Sln nott, of Oregon, intends now to inter est various other hatters in this local source of raw material, in the hope of building up a widespread demand for Jackrabbit fur next Winter. Unfortunately nothing can be done before Winter, as the fur of jackrab bits, to be available for felt hat man ufacture, must be taken in the Winter months, when it is thickest and at its best. During his trip through East ern Oregon late this Summer and Fall Mr. Slnnott intends to arrange with various interested persons for the col lection of jackrabbit skins and he also will endeavor meantime to arrange with various factories to make experi ments. Mr. Slnnott Now Wears Hat. The first consignment of rabbit fur sent to Mr. Sinnott from Oregon was enough only for the production of one hat. This hat Mr. Sinnott now has in his possession and when the weather is not too hot he wears it proudly around Washington. Since Mr. Sinnott donned his jack rabbit hat he has been an object of envy among Western Representatives representing districts where the jack rabbit has become a pest, and not a few of these members have taken the hint and intend to follow his lead. The specimen hat was made by the John B. Stetson Company, from rabbit Bklns supplied to Mr. Sinnott by Ivan Oakes. of Jamieson, Malheur County. Widespread interest has been shown in the jackrabbit hat. as disclosed by Mr. Sinnott's mail. Every day he re ceives one or more letters, not only from Oregon, but from other Western states, from men who desire to know more about the possibility of market ing Jackrabbit fur or who want to know more about the hat. He al ready has received several applications for sample hats. This demand he has been unable to meet. A few days ago the Oregon Histori cal Society wrote Mr. Sinnott asking that he donate the first Jackrabbit hat to the society, but the member is too proud of his possession to part wlth.it until be has had one good year's wear out of it, Market Must Be Developed. Mr. Sinnott is confident that he has discovered a real market for Jackrab bit fur: that is, he thinks the market ia there, if it can be developed, but like any other innovation, he admits that felt hat manufacturers must be con vinced of the suitability of rabbit fur before they can be induced to substi tute th fur of Western jackrabbits for the imported rabbit fur they have been accustomed to use in the past. If only the hat industry can be de veloped, Mr. Sinnott believes there will be a profit in the fur and with the profit there will be an added incentive for wiping out the Jackrabbit pest that is prevalent in so many states of the West.

The messages, which are identical, are addressed to the King of England, the President of France, the Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Germany and the Emperor of Austria-Hungary.

A Nation-wide movement to arouse the business men of the United States to the significance of the British government's action in blacklisting American firms was begun heretoday at a conference of about 60 members of firma which appear on the lists. Leopold Zimmerman, head of the banking firm of Zimmerman & For shay, presided. The conference lasted three hours. It was decided to appoint a committee of five to plan methods of procedure. One of the first things the commit tee will do. it was said tonight, will be to go to Washington to see President Wilson. There was talk at the confer ence today of holding mass meetings in New York and other large cities to put before the public what was de scribed as the "far-reaching and inju rious effect the boycott will have on American commerce. i - PLEA IS MADE FOR BASE BLACKLIST IS CRITICISED Continued From First Pase.

In 1891 another act was passed mak ing even mora stringent the prohibi tion regarding trade with the insur gents. Under these statutes many British firms, especially in the Bahama Islands, were prevented from transact ing business. It is the contention of the British authorities that they have the same right to employ this .method of pre venting aid and comfort from reaching their enemies as the Union did half a century ago. Exteaalost of Blacklist reared. The President, however, has deemed it necessary to act not only because of the taboo placed upon the firms blacklisted, but because of apprehen sion that other firma will suffer a like fate unless the United States - adopts firm attitude. Further, it has been represented to the President that In the midst of a - political campaign it is hignly desirable for him to show a purpose to oppose all attacks on Amer ican interests, from whatever quarter they may come. The pro-Germans In the United States have sharply criti cised Mr. Wilson on the ground that be haa seized every epoortunity to bring the central powers to book and has deliberately .-disregarded violations of international law committed by the allies. Ho has been charged with ob serving a week-need policy In con nection with the British blockade and with writing notes which have pro duced no results. The "blacklist" incident, some of the President's advisers argue, provide him with an excellent opportunity to prove that he Is neutral.
