THE MEASURE A INDUSTRIOUS
SNNINDLE.
SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The River and
Harbor steal was concurred in by the
House of Representatives yesterday. The
report Of the Conference Committee, as
approved by the Senate on the day pre-
vious, being adopted by a vote Of III TO
81. Owing to the absence on Tuesday Of
members who were parties TO the opera
ton, by which the job was put through
Congress, the House refused to agree to
the report of the Conference Committee
on Tuesday night. .Absentees were
drummed up, and the result was as stated.
There is reason to believe that the bill
will be vetoed by the President, although
nothing positive is known. The Cabinet,
on several occasions, has condemned the
bill, and while none Of the members have
said that they favored g veto, the general
sentiment among them is that the meas
ure, as a whole, is a monstrous swindle
that should not receive the Executives
approval. There is no doubt that there are
many items in the bill Of q worthy cEarac-
ter, and that the appropriations for the
majority Of the Improvements are just and
necessary, but at the same time the
defects in the measure are so numer-
Gus and the increased expenditure that
will be required in future years TO COM
plete the unnecessary items provided for
in the bill, is so great that the President
is reluctant to approve it. He feels, how
ever, a dislike to veto a measure that is ap-
proved by both Houses of Congress, and
political considerations NAV not be en-
tirely disregarded. Whatever action the
President may see fit TO take upon the
bill. it is probable that a decision one way
or another will be reached at the Cabinet
meeting on Friday; for, if the bill be
vetoed, the message Of ~disapproval will be
sent to Congress il time to allow that body
time to pass a new bill, from which the
disgraceful features OF the present bill
shall be eliminated.
