THE NATIONS CAPITOL
River and HarbOr Bill Dis
CuSSed.
CogsVell Attempts a Reply to
BOutelle'S Criticisms.
He Thinks New England Has Her Share
Of the Appropriations.
The Latest, Freshest News from all the
Departments at Washington.
WAsHiNGToS, Apr. %.
House

The House, Saturday morning, went into
committee of the whole on the river and har-
Dor bill. Mr.. Cogsweli, a member of the
committee, replied 10 some CRITICISMS made
by MIR. Boutelle, yesterday, that New Eng
land was only given a meagre pittance in the
bill. If the gentleman had stated that the
appropriate MS for New England were mea-
gre for political effect elsewhere, he would
leave it to the gentleman himself, with that
high regard for accuracy and moderation
which distinguished him, to reflect upon in
his leisure moments, or when he was making
his biennial raid upon the people of his dis
trlct. But if the gentleman had made the
statement for the purpose of injuring the
bill, he (Cogswell) had TO say, as member
OF the committee, that the interests of New
England, had not only been fairly treated,
but had been most handsomely and gener-
ousiy treated The estimates of the local
engineers for the improvement of rivers and
harbors throughout the country aggregated
Sl60, ,000, 900. The chief engineer had cut
that amount down to $4,000, 900. The
committee had reduced this estimate and had
brought IN a bill aggregating about A. per
cent of the estimate. New England, whose
share the gentleman said was miserable and
meagre, had received "a per cent of the esti-
cent higher than the average of the whole
bill-aud the State of Maine got the enor-
nous percentage of so per cent What did
the gentleman from Maine want? New
England had been SO well treated that he
(Cogswell) had intended to keep quiet. so that
it would not get out. But the gentleman
from Maine, like the precocious child at the
table, had let it out. He paid tribute to
the fairness and impartiality of the members
of the committee on rivers and harbors.
Mr.. Boutelle commented upon the ardent
affection which the members of that commit
the were attached to one another, declaring
it was sight for the gods and men. Every
man on the committee thought that each of
his colleagues was statesmen and a river
and harbor fnancier. He reiterated the
statement that there was an inequtable dis
trbution made by the bill. He did not think
that any celebrations would be held in the
harbors of Maine because it had been
given an appropriation of Sl60,000 for a
shore line of thousands of miles.
Mr. Dibble of South Carolina moved to
increase from $3.50 900 to $500, 90, the ap-
preparation for the improvement of the
Charleston, 5. c. harbor. Lost.
The committee then rose and the House
adjourned
