THE R YER AND HARBOR BILL
UP IN THE HOUSE.

Mr.. Blanchard Takes the Ground that
it is Better to Get a Drop in the
Bucket Than None at All-Mr. Grain
Threatens to Offer Substitute for
the Committee Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The House to-
day went into committee of the whole on
the river and harbor bill Mr. Blancharis
request that the first reading of the bill be
dispensed with was objected to by Mr.. Kerr
of Iowa. The bill having been read, Mr..
Blanchard said that there was no dispos-
ton on the part of the members of the
committee on rivers and harbors to discuss
the measure unless some member might
desire informatian.
Mr.. Kerr of Iowa expressed desire for
information as to why so many appropria-
tions were made for the Improvement of
rive and harbors which he had never
heard of before.
SHOULD STUDY UP.
Mr.. Spinola told Mr. Kerr that he could
not pass civil service examination, and
Mr. Blanchard referred him to the reports
of the engineers for the information he de-
sired Mr. Blanchard stated that every
item of appropriation in the bill had been
in the bill of last year. The bill appro-
a little less than one-third # the amount
recommended by the chief of engineers.
Mr.. Grain of Texas said his objection to
the bill was that it did not appropriate
enough money to carry on the work of in
ternal improvement.
DOWN ON THE DRIBLET SYSTEM.
He made a long speech condemning what
he termed the driblet system Of appropria-
tion for public Improvement He said he
would, at the proper time, offer as sub
stitute for the measure practically the same
bill which had passed at the first session of
the present Congress, although, personally,
he would prefer to pass bill appropriating
exactly the sum estimated by the chief of
engineers.
Mr. Blanchard said that the gentleman
from Texas occupied the unique position of
opposing the river and habor bill, because
the aggregate amount carried was not large
enough.
IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE ALL.
1t had previously been opposed because
it appropriated too large an amount. He
sympathIZed with the gentleman from
Texas in the position he had taken. He,
himself, would like to see larger amount
appropriated every year than it was found
practicable to appropriate. The gentle
mans theory was beautiful, but impracti-
cable. If the committee had brought in a
bill for $22, ,000,0 600 it could not have been
enacted int law
Pending the debate the committee rose,
and the House at AS o'clock adjourned

BUCK AND THE CABINET.
The Willy Colonel Wisely Says that He
is Not Candidate.

WASHINGTON, Dec ia. E. Buck of
Atlanta, who has been mentioned for the
cabinet, announced o-night that he did not
desire to be considered a candidate for
cabinet place. He said he felt honored at
being mentioned, but was not candidate.
Although Gen. NJ ahone got the confer
ence of southern republicans to meet last
night and had a ma ajority of those present,
so that he captured the organization, his
lieutena nts were not able to get a resol ntion
passed harmoniously indorsing blm as the
candidate of the south for a cabinet place,
as they had hoped to do. They could have
had tue resolution passed, but it would have
split the conference in two. SO they con-
tented themselves with a resolution dec ar
ing that the south was entitled to repre-
sentation in the cabinet. and authorizing the
appointment of a committee of represen-
tative sout hern republicans to communicate
with the leading republicans in the south
for the purpose of selecting some man upon
whom they could all unite to present to Mr..
Harrison for appointment to the cabinet.
They then adopted another resolution recon-
mending such policy toward the south as
to secure fair count at elections, to place
the party on a strong footing by putting the
best men in the offices and indorsing the
Blair bill and similar propositions. This
resolution concluded with reiteration Of
the claim of the south to a cabinet position.
Gen. Malone, it is believed, will be selected
as the man to be recommended. John 5.
Wise, who is here, is, howeve &. working to
prevent this through his ieutenants. He
himself is a candidate for attorney general.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The Clyde steam
ship Saginaw. which arrived here from
Hayti yesterday, put in at her dock, at
r. ooklyn, this morning There seems to
be great doubt in the minds Of the members
of the firm of W. p. Clyde & Co., whether
the bombardment of Cape Haytien, as re-
por ed by the Saginaw's passengers yester-
day, did actually occur.
CAPT. KELLY MUM.
Capt. Kelly of the vessel has as yet made
no official statement of the incident TO his
employers. A story is published this morn
ing that the bombardment did not occur,
but that the fire from the Cape Haytien
forts drove away the ships after few shots.
and that little or no damage was done
either on shore or at sea.
NEW YoRK's sYMPATHIEs.
The sympathies of all the New York mer-
chants doing business in Hayti are with the
people of tue )rth. 1t is thought that the
ultimate result Of the trouble will be the
establishment Of tw separate governments,
one at the north and 9 other at the south
end Of the island. 1t is also the opinioo of
many merchants In the city that settle
meut of the difficulty between THIS govern
ment and Hayti can ly be brought about
by Admiral Luce and his cruisers.
