The River and Marbor Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 1st.-The river and
ha1bor bill, as agreed upon by the committee
of conference and finally passed by both
houses of Congress to-day, contains all the
increased California appropriations heretofore
reported in these dispatches, as the result Of
Senator Farley's amendments, namely, $780,
600 for the Sacramento river, instead of $780,.
900 originally voted by the House of Repre-.
sentatives; $40 900 for the San Joaquin river,
instead of 0,000; new item of $40, 600 for
Humboldt bay, and sSS. 600 for Wilmington
harbor, instead of $1,000. The increase
in each instance is up to the full
amount of the engineers estimate that can
be advantageously used during the next
fiscal year, and Senator Farley, who OBJ,
tanned the increase by the Committee on
Commerce, and as member of the Confer
ence Committee secured their retention in
the bill, is of the opinion that considerably
larger amounts would have been granted by
Congress for California if the local engineer
authorities had made as large an estimate
proportionately as the Atlantic coast engi-
neers are in the habit of making. The fact
is that the bill, as it came from the House,
granted as large a percentage of the engi-
neers' estimates for California as il granted
the engineers estimate for Eastern improve
ments. Many of the latter seemed to
be Of greater consequence, simply because
more was officially asked for. The conference
committee did not retain the Senate amend
ment to the House proyiso concerning the
Oakland harbor appropriation, and eonse-
quently the condition attached to the ex-
penditure OF money for this object remains as
fixed by the proviso, which is, however, identi-
cal with that of last years bills, and Attorney
General Devens's opinion overcoming the
difficulty raised thereby, will doubtless be
considered sufficient by the next Secretary of
War to authorize continuance of the pres
ent operations The conference committee re-
tanned the Senate's amendment appropriatiug
$50, coo for Coos Bay, Oregon. All the Pa
cifc.co items not mentioned above remain
in the bill without change from the amounts
originally voted by the House of Representa-
tives.
The Chinese Treaties.
WASHINGTON March 1st.-Senator Eaton,
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Re
lations. said tonight in reply to question
as to the prospect for action on the Chinese
treaties this session, that he has at last sub
stantially abandoned ell hope of securing
their consideration during the short remain
ing time before the 4th of March. 1t is only
fair to add that it now seems to be practically
certain that the treaties shall go over to the
special session. The delay will not be due to
any lack of good management or faithful effort
on the part of Senator Eaton, who has charge
of them, but must be attributed to the
pressure of previously accumulated business
and to several unforeseen occurrences, such
as the announcements Of the deaths of two
of the House OF Representatives
and of Senator Carpenter, which, on three
saperate days recently caused an early adj
journment of the Senate and prevented the
holding of executive sessions, at which, ac-
cordiDg to previous arrangement, the way
would have been clear for discussing and
reaching action on the treaties.
