from commissioners of pensions in reply TO
a house resolution calling for information
as to what amount of appropriations would

American steel Is the very best. His views
on this question accord with those of other
builders who have appeared before the
committee John Roach also expressed an
opinion that steel Is better for ship'building
than IRON
The committee on rules this morning
agreed to an amendment TO the rules chang
ing the name of the committee on leyccs
of the Mississippi river, to committee on
improvement on the Mississippi river, and
to add two more members TO the commit
tee. 1t is generally understood the
new members will be appointed from
states north of the Ohio river. Members of
congress from the Mississippi valley, are
being much disappointed with the action OF
the committee on rules. They wanted the
committee to be empowered to report all
appropriations for the Mississippi river
The members of the committee say they
are determined to continue the fight for
power over the appropriations for the Mis-
sissippi river.

should be allowed, but leaves the matter to
be fixed by the committee. In view of
the criticism OF exorbitant charges which
would probably be presented by attending

understood that DR.. Bliss, authorized by Drs.
