RIVER AND uAUH0R RITZ.

The House river and harbor committee expected
to complete their bill today, but they got into a
discussion In their meeting this morning which
consumed so much time that ft is uncertain when
they may agree upon the whole bill. The total
amount OF the appropriation has been estimated at
little over Sl2 but the question under dis
cuSSion to-day Involves several millhS that the
estimated total may be greatly changed before the
Dill gets out OF the committee. The appropriation
for the improvement OF the Washington harbor
has not yet been taken under consideration except
to listen to the arguments OF citizens. One OF the
committee said to-day that the bill might be de-
layed for while yet, il such discussion that OF
to-day occupied the committee.
sNUBBED COMMITTEE.
The House committee on public land grants con-
siders it has been snubbed by the House. Some
days ago Mr. Ellis introduced resolution In the
House referring some OF the land grant forfetures
recommended by the committee on public lands TO
the judiciary committee for their decision upon the
law points In the case and il passed without oppo-
sition. Such an action was very unusual and there
Is very bitter feeling in the public lands commit
tee over the matter, though they say that the
House passed the resolution without noticing what
Ii was The Judiciary committee now have the
matter under consideration. provided by the
oluuion, and Mr. Ellis and number OF railroad at
torneys representing the Backbone" New Orleans)
interests argued against forfeiture. Mr.. Lewis,
or the public lands committee argued the law
points In defense OF the action OF his committee
1t Is looked upon as an unprecedented thing that
one committee OF the House should sit in judgment
OF the actions OF another, and all the feeling d.
rected against Mr. Ellis.
