There was a very strong suggestion of the state of affairs that might exist in time of actual war, in the busy scenes presented at the navy and war departments. There was an almost unbroken succession of conferences between officers and officials of various degrees, and throughout both these branches of the war establishment the greatest activity was exhibited. Secretary Long liefore 10 o'clock had been obliged to retire to his private office and deny himself to ail callers, in order to hold a conference. Senator Lodge was present, as well as Chairman Hale of the senate naval Chairman itoutelle of committee; the house naval committee: Cap tain Hradford, chief of the equipment bureau; Captain Hrownson and Assistant Secretry Roosevelt; Chief Constructor II itch born and Admiral Mutthewcs, chief of the bureau yards and docks, were also called to the conference by the secretary, to deal with special phases of the question under consideration. The conference had to do with preparations for putting the navy at the highest state of efficiency. Secretary Long found time during the progress of the conference to talk a moment with Mr. Lane, whohaa submitted to the department proposals for the sale of certain warships now building in Europe at private shipyards. What passed between them is not known, but Mr. Lane hastened immediately to the cable office at the conclusion of- - the conversation to communicate directly with his principals in Europe. That affairs are nearing a crisis Is believed, and emphasized by the fact that Commander Hrownson, a trusted officer, 1ms been selected to go to Europe to examine warships which are building there and which may be for sale. He will view Marshal Fiorina and Marshal de Ordors. building for Itrazil, which it is understood.the government has been importuned to buy. In addition to European boats, Japan lias two now building in the United States, one by Cramps at Philadelphia, the other at the Union Iron g Works at San Francisco, which can be completed in ninety days. Overtures looking to their acquirement by the government have been made. In case of actual war, should Japan refuse to sell, the right of eminent domain would permit the United States to take the two cruisers without reference to Japan's rights. This contingency lias also been discussed, which is but a straw showing the state of feeling in official circles and the thorough mn oner iu which preparations for defensive, if not aggressive action are being made.

In a spirit of patriotism, with eloquent words ringing in their ears, every member of the house of represen tatives-todaresponded to the president's first call to meet the Spanish situation by casting his vote for a bill plucing in President McKinley's hands fifty millions of dollars, to lie expended at his discretion for the national defense. Party lines were swept awny, and with an almost unanimous voice, congress voted its confidence in the administration.
