River and HarbOr Appropriation
RfTI Rocomaa o law

River and Harbor Appropriation
Dill Becomes a Law.
Washington, Aug. 20.-The river and
harbor bill, carrying $11,470, $50, be-
came law at midnight Saturday night
without President Cleveland's sigma
ture, the legal limit of ten days having
expired within which he could sign or
veto it. 1t Is the third time during
Mr.. Cleveland's two terms that a river
and harbor bill became law without
his approval, the only other bills of this
kind submitted to him having been
vetoed. Fears were expressed up to
a late hour that the present bill would
be vetoed. Aside from the amount car
ried by the bill, the sundry civil bill
also carries SS,4OO,0O0 for river and
harbor contracts, making a total for
this class of work of $40 9,S78, 1870. This
is about $2,0O0,000 less than the
amount given for river and harbor
work at the first session of last con-
gress. An important feature of the
new bill is that it authorizes no new
contracts.
