A sort of antagonism has sprung IN he
tween the Senate and the House. of which
the present Squabble over the Naval Anpro-
priation bill Is REGARDED As merely visible
symptom. The House reseuts the encroacb-
mCnt Of the Senate upon Its preg0gatIyeS
and relations between the two bodies have
become somewhat strained. The House is
not likely to pass the Naval bill in the
shape in which ii has met the approval Of
the Senate committee.
