mittee OF the Senate and House over the diplomatic
and consular bill, which has passed both branches
is over an amendment attached by the Senate ap-
propriat1ng 10000 for secret-service expenses
under the State department. The item is an in
terest1ng one in view OF the alleged statement Of
Secretary FrelnghuySen TO certain Senators that
the money was needed to meet expenses incurred
South America against the right Of TINS govern
ment to control iSthmtan transit It seems that
the department learned that kurOpean agents are
efforts M and 10th other ea do tSs
best service, and it became necessary for the de-
pertinent TO protect this government By similar
TIE the outlay and the Senate conferees SO strongly
sanction it that there seems to be prospect OF .
failure to agree.
