NEARLY EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE M

tBYTELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEEI
WASHINGTON, juno 17.-After a session which
lasted nearly eight hours, the House passed by
vote of 10 to AZ the River and Harbor bill, which
appropriates $17 .367, ,s75 Adding other appropri-
ations Of like character made earlier in the scs-
sion, the whole amount forrvers and harbors verges
Congress ever thought of appropriatng in one year
until seven eight years ago.
No material amendments were made to the bill.
One item of $25, 900 was added for the benefit of
the great maritime State of West Virginia A great
many amendments were offered all of which were re-
iected by rousing majorties. The House almost
as ntoerant in respect to debate asst wasin regard
to amendments. The proposition to give the Mis-
sissppi River Commission authority to expend
nearly five million dollars-every dollar Of it for
building levees if they think best--was adopted
without modification, and the friends of the bill
very grudgingly allowed hour of debate on
amendments to 1t.
Three or four months ago when the Appropria-
tions Committee proposed that part of appropria
tOn for the relief of sufferers by the Mississippi
floods might be expended in hiring some of the
sufferers to strengthen levees, which were in immi
nent danger OF breaking and adding to tho distress
of the people, the House promptly rejected it. de-
claring that precedent should be set which could
be cited IN support of the policy that the General
Government should Duiid repair levees. To-day
the same House adopted n provision which commits
1t to policy which will cost the General Govern
ment tens OF millions of dollars for leYee-bulldIng.
Powerful indeed are the modifying Influences OF
seyenteen-millIOn-dOllar River and llarbor bill,
with its fat items for every State aud almost every
Congressional district.

NEW CONVENTION SPOKEN oP-THE NDEPES-
DENTS DIsTRUsrFCL
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l


TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WAsHINGToy. June l7.-InformatiOn has reached
Washington which leads a number of Independents
to believe that Senator Cameron and the candidates
on his ticket are considering proposition of some
sort to the Independents for a new convention.
Senator Cameron mas left the city, and there IS some
uncertainty as to his whereabouts, owing chlehy
to the fact that he told one prominent
Republican that he was going to New-lork' ana
told another acquaintance, so that gentleman says
that he was going to West Virginia. 1t Is inferred
that he is in neither of these places 1t Is SAID Dy
some that he is probably i'll Philadelphia advising
with his friends 1t is known that several OF the
candidates on his ticket have privately expressed
willingness to have n new convention called ana IL
is believed that these ntimations have been given
with his consent.
There has been a rumor that the President had
finally brought Cameron to see the wisdom OF such
n movement on his part. Certain Senators. who are
on close terms with the Administration, have shown
marked anxiety to SEQ a settlement of the PennsyVa-
MA troubles Senator Mitchell, when asked tonight
what his views would be regarding such a PROPOSE
ton said the question could only be met when 1t
arose and he must decline to go into a premature
discussion of it, Talk with other Independent Re-
publicans here of less note shows that they are sal
exceedingly dIstrusful of Cameron, having no faith
in his sincerity and believing that all he ever in
tends TO do will to be outwit them, if he can,n some
matter of practical detail in party management. and
so trap the party back under his control again.
They point to the fact that it will be exceedingly
difficult in the first place to determine whether tho
Independents generally in favor of
a new convention. They have no boss"
to speak for them. The point is also made that
the party machinery, the control of the primaries
which would select delegates to a new convention,
etc. are all in the hands of Camerons men. who
could not be trusted by the Independents. These
and many other practical difficulties are suggested,
and are believed to present nsuperable obstacles to
a union
Ii is suspected by some that one of Senator Came
ron's stra;agcns will be to appear to demand OF the
recOnvened convention the nomination OF a Con
gressman-at-Largc. while his managers, in accord
ance with a secret understanding With him, cause
the convention refuse this and to take steps to-
ward new convention, thus giving the body an
appearance of independence of his dctaton. lt ls
thought also that the convention may adjourn over
for several mon ths without nominating a candidate
for Couuessnan-at-largc. 1t is not known whether
in this case Senator Cameron Will furnish the del
egates with autographed certificates OF Lille mein-
beIshiD.

IRISHVIEW OF THE IRISH CRISIS
THE CASE AGAINST ENGLAND.
BY JUSTIN MCCARTHY, NJ. p.

III.
7. justin Mccarthy, esq, member of Parliament
for County Longford, resumes to-day his sum-
mary of the Irish crisis from an Irish point of
view. In his first paper he defined the two
great issues of the movement with which ho
is identified, Home Rule and the Land Ques-
ton, and presented historical outline of tho
rise of the present Irish party in Parliament.
He contended that under the leadership Of DR..
Butt neither Home Rule nor the Land Ques-
tion had taken a commanding position,
and contrasted that leaders Ineffective
annual debates with Mr. Parnels resolu-
tion and persistency in creating an abb
solutely independent party, which, sns-
tained by tho force Of Irish public opinion,
should compel the House OF Commons and tho
English people to listen to the demands of tho
island Taking up the argument at the point
where it was dropped on Sunday last-the
elections of 1SSO-Mr. Mccarthy concludes his
retrospect of tho events of recent years.
Among the strong points of this second paper
are his defence of Mr. Parnells course in
taking the Opposition benches; his summary
of the results of the short Parliamentary ses-
sion of 1880, which convinced the
Irish members that the influence of Whig and
Tory landlords rendered it impossible for any
Government to do much for Ireland; his COM
prehensive account of the Land League as tbs
81 Irish occupiers out on strike; his deDuncla-
ton of the doctrine Of constructive treason as
unfolded in the abortive State trials, and his
unsparing condemnation of the phrase treason
ably suspected which was an epitome In two
words of the Coercion Act; and his general
conclusions on the two measures forced through
the Commons last year and the subsequent ar
rest of the Irish members. In his third paper
Mr.. Mccarthy will give his ideas as to the
prospect of improvement in tho relations OF
England and Ireland.
