WASHINGTON, June 27.-In the House,
the Appropriation Committee, by a vote OF
8 to 7, Hancock OF Texas and Ellis of
Louisiana (Dems.) voting with the Repub-
licans, against other Democrats headed BY
Randall and Holman, which agreed to re-
port q bill appropriating 100000 for
Notifications and other armament for the
next fiscal year. Randall and Holman
protested strenuously, but Horr of Miehi-
gan, who has been engineering the move
ment for months, quietly dropped 5000, 900
out of the torpedo clause, reducing the
total appropriation to S3,07O,0O0, and
securing the continued support Of Han
cock and Ellis. This forced the bill
through. The fight in the committee was
very hot. Finally, Randall was outvoted.
and could only say that Holman and he
protested strongly against this unusually
large appropriation, and would present a
minority report. The usual bill providing
for the continuance~of existing work ON
some torpedo and gun experiments, at a
total cost Of about 5000, 600 was agreed
upon. 1t ~appropriates Sl,OOO,0 900 for the

dred thousand for submarine and river

than $500, 900 of the first years appro-
p~riation is to be used for such
l2-inch rife mortars, or guns, az immedi-
ate exigencies may seem to require. Amer
