General LegisIatiOn,


New York, 29.-TImss' editorial: The
Senate finds itself in dilemma when it
undertakes to amend or correct the'' gen.
erAl legislation" attached by the House
to the naval appropriation bill. The 40.
surdity Of the situation was strikingly
presented, yesterday, by Senator Miller,
Of CAlifornis, who proposed to amend the
bill by adding clause providing for q
special commission, to which proposed
changes in the personnel Of the navy
shall be referred. This was promptly
ruled out of order under the rules Of the
Senate IS general legislation, and not
germsEe to the appropriation bill, bat
when the Senate proposed to make
changes in the general legislation at
tached to the bill By the House, j: found
itself confronted by the same rule under
which Miller's proposition was declared
out Of order. If the rules forbid the in
PRODUCTION Of general legislation By the
Senate when an appropriation bill is
under consideration, they certainly for
bid the correction of any such legisla
ton proposed by the House in the bill.
Therefore the Senate must adopt the Sec
tions added 10 the bill by the House
without changing them in the least, or it
must strike the whole Of the extrRneous
matter from the bill. The Senate does
not like to sdront tho House by adopting
this latter course, and so it adjourned to
thiak it over.
