priations tomorrow. 1t provides Al
appropriation of s14, 1923, 1876, being So
1896 ,404 less than the estimates, and
81 ,565, 238 less than the appropriation
for the current year. This is the
amount agreed upon for the compile
ton of -four steel cruisers, proposed by
the secretary of the navy. Nothing is
given, however, for the completion Of
the monitors, for which SO, 500 600 is
asked.
The withdra wal Of the trade dollar
was discu ssed to-day by the committee

the sub committee having charge Of
the subject, reported the bill. The

postponed until tomorrow.
The house went into a committee Of
the whole, with Cobb in the chair, on
the pleuro-A eumonia bill. Lapha m
strongly opposed the bill as endanger-

industry in which Texas is especially
interested. His opposition WIS not in
spired by the apprehension that there
exists to-day within his state a single
case of pleuro-pneumonia. Why had
not the committee seen ht to restrict
the operation to the states in which
the plague existsP There were IN this
measure evils and dangers infinitely
worse than the cattle plague. He criti
cised certain provisions of the bill, and
especially the section which provides
for a division of the expense of eradi-
eating the disease between the United
States and the state in which it exists.
He predicted that the $3.50, 00o proposed
to be appropriated, would not be pocket
change compared with the vast sums
that will be needed.
