The River and HarbOr Bill.
The committee of conference on the river and
harbor appropriation bill as the result of several
prolonged sessions have agreed upon report
which will be signed and presented on Monday.
The bill, as it will be then signed and doubtless
passed, is not increased above the total of So
900, 900 to which it was reduced by the Senate
from $4,000, originally voted by the House.
The changes made are few in number and con-
sist generally in the transfer of small amounts
from one purpose to another and the reinsrate-
ment of some small House items which were
omitted by the Senate.
