new bill. 1t is doubtful whether it will sue
eeed in beating an honorable retreat. The
members OF the House are not disposed to
help the Senate out OF its embarrassment.
The few who were at the capitol to-day
laughed whenever the Senate was mentioned,
but so many members of the House have gone
away that 1T is doubtful whether the House
will have a quorum when it meets on Wednes-
day. Those who are present will probably
refuse to act upon the Senate bill, and the
matter will be no nearer disentanglement.
The fact is that both houses are in bad temper.
Each thinks its prerOgatives are invaded. The
House resents the interference of the Senate
with appropriation and revenue bills. The
Senate resents the interference Of the House
with treaties. It would not take much GER
tainly to make the House refuse to approve
any OF the legislation requisite to the proper
execution Of the reciprocity treaties.

HALE ON THE BIG SPLIT.
THE STORY OF THE CONTRO-
VERSY TOLD IN DETAIL.

Nothing but Conservatism Seen In the
Senate's Course by the Gentlemen in
Charge of the Bill which Made the
Mischief-The House, of Course,
ShOuldered with the Blame.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hale. who
has charge Of the navalappropriation bill In the
Senate as Chairman of the naval sub-commit-
tee OF the Committee on Appropriations. was
asked to-day by a reporter of the Associated
Press to state the position Of the Senate in the
present issue with the House, and the reasons
which underlie its disagreement with that
body. He said: "The controversy at this
session arose out of the fact that at the last
session the House of Representatives refused
to go forward in the work of rebuilding the
navy. The Senate, by considerable
majority, favored an increase of the
navy. felt in managing the bill
that while IL was proper for the Senate to
MAINTAIN ITS ground, aud while it was very
desirable that the work of rebuilding the
navy should not be delayed, still, under the
rules that govern the two bodies. the Senate
could not IN the end cCerce the House. The
session expired, the bill, with all the Senate
amendments, was left in conference, and the
two hOdles passed what Is called an emergen-
cy bill, giving the Navy Department fifty per
cent. of the appropriation of last year to run
until Jan. !, 1885.
THE PRESENT STAND.
"This session the attitude of the Senate has
neen that the regular appropriation bill for
the current year ending July l, 1885, should be
taken mp and considered by the two houses,
ueductlng from its appropriations what had al
ready been given for the first half of the year.
By TINS the items for the heads OF the several
bureaus of the Navy Department would all
be given under estimates made for the pres
ent year. The House blindly insisted on an
other SIX months temporary provision, going
back To last years appropriations and giving
80 per cent. of them. The Senate insisted
that such a way of appropriating is not a
good one, that each years apprOpria-
tiOns should be considered by themselves,
and presented to the House conferees
for thelrconsideratiOn the regular bill for the
present year, as prepared by the House and
amended by the Senate, including the pro-
visions for cruisers and monitors and all ex-
traOrdinary appropriations for rebuilding the
navy. The House cOnferees declined even to
consider this amendment. The result of that
attitude on the part of the House has been
that no appropriations have been made, and
that the Navy Department, after Jan. l, will
find itself without actual appropriations.

DO.
