Friends Of the river and harbor bill ex-
hibit some alarm as TO the ultimate sue
cess OF that measure. The senate has
made many important changes in the bin
since it left the house, involving largely
increased expenditures. The addition OF
the Hennepin canal alone will ultimately
require an expenditure Of $1,000, 000 al
though the item provides for an immediate
appropriation OF but 100000. The opin-
ion prevails, and there is strong founda-
rion for it, that the president viii return
the bill to the house without his approval,
upon the ground that no public necessity
requires the expenditures of the large sums
OF money voted for certain points.
