of bill making temporary provision for
the Naval service.
When the bill had been read, Mr.. Con
ger inquired whether this was meant to
be Il wiping out Of the American Navy.
He was very unwilling to consent to the
passage of such bill. lie inquired who
it was that opposed the passage of Il reg
ular Appropriation bill. The country,
he thought, had right to know that
Debate followed.
On motion Of Mr.. Miller, of Cal
ifornia, an amendment was agreed
to, continuing the appropriation
for engines, machinery, etc, of the mon
itors, and the clause shutting OIL that ap-
preparation was struck OIL, and the bill
as so amended was passed.
y message was received from the
House announcing that it had concurrcd
in the Senate amendment relating to the
contingent fund of the Senate, including
the provision for Senator's clerks. The
report Of the Senate cOnferees on the
same bill was then presented by Mr.
Allison and agreed to, thus dispoSing of
I the only remaining subject of difference
on that bill.
At ii O'Clock, Mr.. Allison called up the
! diplomatic and Consular appropriation
bill, and moved that the Senate rccedp
/ from its amendment, only one in con-
trOVCrsy between the two Houses, an
prOpriating $2j0,OOO for the Nicaraguan
water way project. He said he made
the motion because he believed the
House would not agree to the amend
mcnt.
Mr.. Miller, of California, said the pur-
pose of the Senate amendment had been
TO secure to the United States
t" lsthmus transit. He desired
to have it distinctly understood
that the responsibility for whatever
might happen, whatever advantage
other nations might gain over the United
States for the failure Of the appropria-
ton did not rest on the Senate.
The motion to reCede was agreed to,
which disposed of the only remaining
| subject of difference in the bill.

! session, and when the doors were re-
/ opened, adjourned to l0'o'clock Monday.
