committee of the whole, Mr.. Stevenson in the
chair on the state of the Union. The first bill
on the calendar relative to the navy was that
providing permanent construction fund for
the navy.

bill, thought it rather dangerous precedent to
institute a permanent construction fund, on
which the secretary of the navy could draw
without limit.
Mr.. Harris moved to fill the blank in the bill
SO as to provide that not more than 81, ,000, ,00C
shall be expended out of the permanent con-
struction fund of the navy during any one fs-
cal year without authority of Congress.
Adopted.
Mr.. Atkins moved to strike out the word
permanent" wherever it occurred. Agreed
to.

rep IT to the House. The next bill on the cal.
lender was that to authorize and equip an ex-
pedition to the Arctic seas, and 1t was also laid
aside with favorable recommendation. The
committee then rose and reported the bills to
the House. and the maiu question having been
ordered upon them the House adjourned.

up Wabashaw at the upheaval of dirt by the

the notion that the company was putting down
two tracks. The property owners con-
suited together to get out an injunction, which,
however, was needless, as 1t was quickly ascer-
tanned that the company was only relaying the
old track and extending it from College avenue
