The River and Marbor and TariG Hill


Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
WASHINGTON, April l5.--Fears are en-
tcrtained by the friends Of the river and
harbor bill rs to the fate Of that measure.
The committee reporting the bill have
been making an effort 10 secure its passage
under suspension Of the rules on Monday,
30 far there does not seem 10 be much
hope of this being accomplished, Usually
the consideration OF a river and harbor bill
occupies from ten days TO two weeks.
Having this in view, the Republicans say
they will vote with the river and harbor
committee TO take up the hill on Monday,
il il is allowed TO take its regular course,
Were this 10 he done the consideration OF
the tariff bill would I've postponed for at
least two weeks, and this the Republicans
are only too anxious 10 accomplish. They
appreciate the fact that in the face OF the
popular demand for a revision OF the tariff,
IL would be u bad party policy 20 obstruct
the way OF the Mills bin, but II they can
induce the Democrats to do so by bring
ing up some other measure, they would bc
ovcrjoyod. Ii the river and harbor bill
cannot be brought up on Monday, IL will
have TO wait until the tariff discussion has
run It's course, and then take lis chances
with the other appropriation bills.
