"SEC. 2. That all surviving officers and enlisted men, including marines, militia, and volunteers of the military or naval service of the United States, who served in the late war of the rebellion, and who were prisoners of war for a period of thirty days or more, shall receive the sum of $2 for each and every day they were held in confinement as prisoners of war, to be paid by the Secretary of the Interior."

IN HOUSE-FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS, FIRST

1890, April 10-Pending H. bill 8909, the Navy Appropriation bill reported by Mr. BouTELLE containing these provisions for "Increase of the Navy:"

"That for the purpose of further increasing the Naval Establishment of the United States the President is hereby authorized to have constructed by contract three sea-going coast-line battle-ships designed to carry the heaviest armor and most powerful ordinance upon a displacement of about eight thousand five hundred tons, with a coal endurance of about five thousand knots on the total coal capacity at the most economical rate of speed, and to have the highest practicable speed for vessels of their class, to cost, exclusive of Armament and of any premiums that may be paid for increased speed, not exceeding four million dollars each; one armored cruiser of about seven thousand three hundred tons displacement, at a cost, exclusive of armament, not to exceed two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to have a maximum speed of not less than twenty knots; and in the construction of all said vessels all of the provisions of the act of August 3, 1886, entitled, "An act to increase the Naval Establishment," as to materials for said vessels, their engines, boilers, and machinery, the contracts under which they are built, the notice of any proposals for the same, the plans, drawings, specifications therefor, and the method of executing said contracts, shall be observed and followed, and said vessels shall be built in compliance with the terms of said act, save that in all their parts said vessels shall be of domestic manufacture. And in the contracts for the construction of each of said vessels such provisions for minimum speed and for premiums for increased speed and penalties for deficient speed may be made subject to the terms of this bill, as in the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy may be deemed advisable. In making proposals for contracts for building the vessels authorized by this act it shall be required that one of such vessels shall be built on or near the coast of the Pacific Ocean or the waters connecting therewith, one of them on or near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the waters connecting therewith, and two of them on or near the coast of the Atlantic Ocean or the waters connecting therewith, and at such places on or near such coasts or waters as the Secretary of the Navy shall approve: Provided, That if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the President of the United States, from the biddings for said

contracts, when the same are opened and examined by him, that said vessels can not be constructed at a fair cost on or near the coast of the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, he shall authorize the construction of said vessels, or either of them, elsewhere in the United States; and if the Secretary of the Navy shall be unable to contract at reasonable prices for the construction of any of said vessels, then he may build such vessel or vessels in such navy-yards as he may designate.
