IN THE SENAT E.

In the Senate today a molten to pro-
ceed to tho consideration of the Presi-
DENTS veto of the river and harbor bill
was made by Mr.. Vest, Democrat of Mis-
souri,. This motion was antagonized by
Mr.. Pettigrew, Republican of South
Dakota, who desired to proceed with the
conference report ON the Indian appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Vests motion, however. was agreed
to, yeas 3S, nays 10, and therefore the
veto WAS presented and read. The mega
tive votes were given by Senators Bate,
Brown, Chiffon, Harris, Morrill,, Palmer,
Pettigrew. Pritchard, Teller and Villas.
The. vioe-president stated the question
to be on the passage of the bill, the OBJ
jeotions of the President to the contrary
notwithstanding. Mr.. Vest discussed
the Presidents message in detail, and
pointed various inaccuracies in it.
. Among these is the statement that tho
bill appropriated directly about..$ IA, O00, :
900 and coversd continuing contracts to
the amount of $62, 600, 900. The former
sum exceeded the actual figures by
81, 800 600 and the latter by 80. 343. 900.
The President, Mr.. Vest said, ,rhetorically
charged Congress with extravaganza. IT

harbor bills enacted in the last six years,
ne would have discovered that, consider
ing the size of the country and the de-
mands Of internal commerce, the bill
was comparatively economic. Then it
had to be remembered that the appro-
priation was not'for year but for two
years, 50 instead Of an appropriation OF
ABOUT $4,000. 600, as the President said,
the amount to be- spent In the next fiscal
year would not be more than &c, 0o0, QUO.
As to the Presidents intimation that
the payment of $685. 00O, 600 covered by

suggested to the President "that thers
