HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mr.. Robson, from the Committee or
Appropriations. reported back the naya
appropriation Bill recommending non-con.
currence In all the Senate amendments ex.
cept TO the amendments numbered 60
and CO. The amendment numbered GA il
that relative 10 monitors, delaying their
completion until a report has been made 10
Congress by the Advisory Board. The
committee recommends concurrence in
this amendment with an amendment pro-
viding that q report shall be transmitted
to Congress by the Secretary OF the Navy.
The amendment GO was verbal amend
ment in the clause providing for the
launching Of monitors, and concurrence
IS recommended with an amendment add
ing the words "with such necessary
attachments and appliances as will
render the redocking OF the ships I'M
necessary" Mr.. Robson explained the
report. The Senate had in its wisdom
seen fit TO strike from the bill many OF the
measures OF reform which had been in
augurated by the House. II had also
thought It proper TO delay until next De-
cember the completion OF the monitors,
and a. that only necessitated delay OF four
or five months, he had no special objection
to that action. He had no objection TO
those ships being subjected to hundred
boards, such was his confidence in them.
He concurred more readily in the amend
ment because he was anxious to strip the bill,
so far as he was concerned, OF all personal
considerations and OF all idea that he had
any pride OF opinion, or that he desired to
enforce in the House or elsewhere any
proposition which was not ascertained to
be Tor the real. substantial good OF the
country.
The consideration OF Senate amendments
seridtim was then proceeded with. The
amendments relating to items OF approprla-
tons were concurrcd in, and those striking
out the legislative features OF the bill were
non-concurred in.

OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs, sub

files intact. 1t also declares that nothing
was adduced in the testimony TO implicate
any foreign minister or official OF the
United states, or senator or members OF
Congress in any improper effort to nau-
ence official action in the interest Of any
claim against Peru.
