DISTRICT BILL HANGS FIRE
Missionary Work Being Done in Be-
half of Some Rejected Items.
Wide Difference of Opinion as to the Appro-
priations for the smalpo Hos
pital and Laboratory.

The conference report on the District ap-
preparation bill may come before one OF
both branches OF Congress tomorrow long
enough TO ccme TO terms upon the points OF
| disagreement, or to send 1t back to con-
ference. Nothing at all was done with il
Yesterday
Senator Cockrell said at 2 O'Clock that
when the Indian bill was disposed of the Dis
trict bill might be called up, but the eonsid-
GRAFTON of the Indian appropriations con-
tlnued till p. m, then a number OF
resolutions were offered and immediately
the sundry civil appropriation bill was taken
up.
number of persons interested Gin items
that have been changed were active yester-
day trying TO secure better treatment. Some
of these made arguments to the members of
the conference committee. some went to
their personal friends among Congressman.
and others made preparations for presenting
reasons on Monday.
Among the items now entirely out of the
bill for which work is being continued are:
500. for the Business High School; S13,-
GOO Tor the WaIiach School; S25. 900 for the
harbor boat, and IS. 600 for grading Penn
sylvania avenue extended. and $1,000 for
paving Michigan avenue from First street to
Harewood Third street extended).
The item upon which there is the widest
diversity of opinion is the $4,000 for the es-
tablishment of n ARCHAEOLOGICAL and anti.
toxine laboratory and disinfecting service.
The fact that the q is much controversy as
10 the usefulness of the remedies proposed
based upon the failures of Koch Pasteur
and others, together with the crusade against
vivisection has caused several OF the con-
ierees to stand out firmlv against the appro-
priation.
The smallpox hospital comes next in the
Intensity of opposition to it. 1t is argued
that there may not be need OF a smallpox
hospital again for years and the $50, 900 pro-
posed would be put into building to be
taken care of, while the hospital for con-
tagious diseases such as scarlet fever Iiph-
cases occurring every month in the year.
would be neglected.
strong effort will be made to have the
appropriation changed SO as to provide
money FOR hospital for diseases of the
commoner form. 1t may be that changes
will be made providing for caring for small
poX In the same locality. and that patients
suffering from consumption shall be sent to
the hospital for contagious diseases. AS
matters now stand. this hospital would be
erected upon the site at Pleasant Plains.
The provision for the raising of the dam is
accompanied by appropriations for testing
the Hoxie-Lydecker tunnel and n report is
to be made upon this when the Fifty-fourth
Congress assemblies next December.
