TWO APPROPRIATION BILLS.

GENERAL INDIFFERENCE TOWARD ONE AND INTER
rsT IN THE oTHER-PLANs OF THE MANAGERS
OF THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUSE
WASHINGTON Feb. 9.-The Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial Appropriation bill passed tho
House of Representatives to-day substantially as
reported by the Appropriations Committee Probably
not one member in ten has ever read this important
bill or knows what it contains; but probably every
member of.tbe House IS familiar with one or more
items in the River and Harbor BILL which it is cx-
pected will he again brought forward tomorrow,
unless it's friends shall be Outvoted by those who
prefer to discuss the Reapportionment BILL There
is every probability that the River and Harbor bill
will be taken up, however, and It's friends are
sanguine that it will pass without amendment.
They are preparing this evening for a great parlia-
mentary stroke, by which they hope to succeed in
rulinp out on points of order every amendment
which proposes to increase the amount of appropra
ton recommended by the committee.
Under the new rules of the House, the Committee
on Commerce has the same rights as to the River
and Harbor bill that the Appropriations Committee
enjoys in regard to any other general appropriation
hill The Appropriations Committee has been uni
formy sustained in its points of order against
amendments to increase appropriations, unless such
amendments were recommended by the committee.
The Committee on Commerce expect to be
tanned In this position and thus to prevent the over
leading of tho bill I; but such course as this is
likely to excite bad temper. and members who want
appropriations which they are denied " WI be likely
mite in opposing the bill with those who are OPP
posed to il because Of its extravaganza and other
vicious features they can make the struggle very
lively and interesting one.
There was some talk among members OF the COM
mittee TODAY in favor of accepting several amend
ments tn the bill in order to gain some votes and
this nlan NAV be adopted, although the Commerce
Committee profess to feel confident that the bill
be passed tomorrow in its present form.
