Washington, Alareh 21. The House
Committee on X'aval Affairs, by a vote
cf 7 to 4, today adopted a resolution
concurring in the conclusion of Presi

agitation of the Schley controversy, in
definitely postponing all bills and 'reso
lutions on the subject. The report of
the sub-committee as adopted gives all
the various resolutions which have been
introduced, and says:

attracted wide public attention and has
been the subject of four official inqui

Court of Claims; by the Naval Court of
Inquiry, asked for by Rear Admiral
Schley, and by President -Roosevelt on
appeal from the finding of the Naval
Court of Inquiry.
"President Roosevelt concluded his
finding in the following words:

their numbers give them confidence,
while the block house system has not

What is possible has been done, con
