courage American shlp building, which

Oi free ships and protection to Ameri-
can ship builders"
The Dill TO provide for the punishment

Unusually rapid progress was made
with the river and harbor bill in the
the house during the past week and as
aresuIt the sundry civil bill will proba-
bly, be taken up tomorrow afternoon.
Like the river and harbor bill, the sun
dry civil bill is long measure, contain
Ing many items OF local interest to con.
gTeSsmcn, and OF necessity its consider
alton vii! require several days. More
over the sundry bill is not satisfactory
to all the members OF the appropriation
committee, the Republican minority
objected TO number of items OF appro-
priatlon as insufficient so that it will
not be surprising ii it takes nearly if
not the entire week to bring the bill 10
final vote.
Chairman Hatch, OF the committee
OIL agriculture, will make an earnest
effort to secure consideration for the
anti'optIons bill rs soon rs the sundry
clvl! bill Is ont OF the way. The anti
options bill is, however, vigorously op-
posed by MAN. members, who will use
AL the devices known 10 parliamcntar-
'ans to keep the measure in the back
ground. The fortifications and post
oillcc appropriation bills are also on the
calendar, and Mr.. Breckenridge, OF
kentucky, will antagonizc the anti-op-
lions blil with the first named measure.

priation bills remain 10 be reported to
