UNITED STATES NAVY
SENATE RETECTS PROGRAMME \ BIG VOTE AGAINST 15 SHIPS
WASHINGTON, Saturday.
The Seriate to-day defeated the Navy Bill which provides for the construction of 15,new cruisers, and one aircraft carrier, by 44 votes to 22.
There is little likelihood that the measure will again come up for consideration this session of congress, for the Senate on Monday will consider the House of Repre- sentatives' resolution asking for Congressional adjourn- ment next Tuesday.
The bill was received, but had little consideration.
