New York, 29.-TImes' editorial: The
Senate finds itself in o dilemma when it
undertakes to amend or correct the''g gen.
sral legislation" attached by the House
to the naval appropriation bill. The ab-
surdity Of the situation was strikingly
presented, yesterday, by Senator Miller,
Of California, 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 ss general legislation, and not
germsEe to the appropriation bill, bat
when the Senate proposed to make
changes IN the general legislation at
tachsd to the bill By the House, j. found
itself confronted by the same rule under
which Miller's proposition was declared
out Of order. II 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
tons added 10 the bill by the House
without changing them in the least, or il
must strike the whole Of the extraneous
matter from the bill. The Senate does
not like to afront tho House by adopting
this latter course, and 60 it adjourned to
thiHk it over.
