CONGRESS WILL MAKE PROVI
SION FOR NEW SHIPS.
Washington, Dec. 29. — Senator
Hale, chairman of the committee on
naval affaira, says that it is the in
tention to make provision for another
liberal addition to the navy during the
present session of congress. He saya
that when the additions already au
thorized are completed the United
States will have a more powerful
navy than any other nation except
Great Britain.
Senator Hale’s declaration that it
is the settled policy to expand the
navy on liberal lines accords with the
wishes of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Moody, and correctly repre
sents the attitude of some of the
most influential leaders in both
houses of congress. The house com-
mlttee on naval affairs has already
begun preparation of the naval bill,
and it is probable the recommends-
tlons of the secretary of the navy in
regard to the expansion of the naval
establishment will be carried out fully
and perhaps exceeded in the provi
sions of the house bill.

San Francisco, Dec. 29.—At the Al

teachers sat pupil-like at the feet of 1
Gamaliels from afar and absorbed
new ideas touching the application <M
their art. The occasion was the as
sembling of the thirty-seventh annual
session of the California Teachers’ |
association.
The procedure of the
first day was so business-like and en
thusiastic that W. H. Langdon, super
intendent of schools, remarked at its
close that the state association had
never held a session so largely at

It is believed that unless Russia

such a step will not necessarily mean

St. Petersburg, Dec. 29.—The con
census of opinion associated with the
government, but not responsible there
for, is that the czar is so peacefully
disposed that he will make such con
cessions to Japan as are necessary
to prevent war, provided no unfor-
seen events force the hands of the
governments concerned.
At the same time the czar, it is
pointed out, agrees with those who
believe that preparation for war is the
best safeguard for peace and that ap
parent willingness to allow matters
to be submitted to the test of arms
is more likely to lead to a satisfac
tory compromise than an exhibition
of overmuch peacefulness.
