Naval Appropriation Bill.

The Naval Appropriation bill was re-
ported to the Senate to-day by the Appro-
priations Committee. AS reported II carries
items aggregating about s31, 548,65i, or
s435,O0 more than the amount allowed
by the House.
The Senate committee allows the appro-
priation of S2,750,000 for protected
cruiser TO stand, but it makes no original
provision for any new vessels: The most
important new provisions added by the
Senate committee affect the Pacific Coast.
An item Of 5000 is inserted to enable
the President to cause sounding5 to be
made between San Francisco and Homo
lulu for laying cable connecting these
places. For the purchase of land and the
establishment OF dry-dock on Puget
Sound or the Columbia River (the site to
be determined by the Secretary of the
Navy the committee allows S225 200, Of
which $4,000 is to be used for the pur-
chase of the site.
Two naval commissions appointed un-
der authority of Congress have reported
in favor of establishing dry.dock and
naval station at Port Orchard, Washing
ton, and an amendment appropriating
100000 had been submitted by Senator
Allen to carry out the commissions rec
ommendation at once. The committees
provision ignores the recommendation of
TIE COilIulsSlOL, anu ltdNtS W tilt CtCIt-
tary Of the Navy the option of selecting
site on either Puget Sound or the Column
bia River.
The other additions made by the COM
mittee are: For dredging, repairing, new
buildings, ETC., at Craney Island, Va,
$4,000; for the purchase OF a floating tug
crane to be used in transporting in New
York Harbor, $50, 600, and for continuing
work on the coaling station at Port Royal,
An item of 5000 for the purchase of
Calling guns for the Marine Corps was
struck out.
The committee inserted a provision au-
thorizing the Secretary of the Navy to
sell one of the old single-turreted mont
tors, the price to be determined by anaval
commission appointed by the Secretary.

In Favor of the Paddock Pure Food
Bill,

tons of the Nebraska House of Represen-
tatiyes against the passage of the Conger
Lard bill and in favor of the passage of
the Paddock Pure Food bill. The resolu-
tons declare that the former bill
would, If enacted into law, inflict great
losses ON the cattle industry Of Nebraska.
Mr.. Paddock took occasion to allude to
certain statements circulated in reference
to his position on those measures and de-
nounced them as false.
