not be the fault of Senator Gray. as ha
has dona everything in his power to
accomplish the desired end.
On Saturday the Senator won't to
Washington and brought the matter to
the Secretary of War aud detailed to
him the apparent intention OF Congress
10 making the appropriation. The de-
tails were fully explained and when the
Senator left the Secretary OF War the
latter had thorough history Of the
appropriation and the action OF Con.
gress. and at the conclusion of the con

alton.
reverse the decision recently given, as
it is the general opinion OF people
familiar with the matter that il waa
undoubtedly the intention OF Congrass
in granting the appropriation to make
IL available at once, regardless of any
former Legislation.
In presenting the case to the Secre-
tary Of War and the Comptroller OF the
Treasury on Saturday Senator Gray
produced data to show the feeling of
Congress- while the bill granting the
appropriation was pending.
The appropriation was made in an
amendment to the Sundry Civil bill,
whils the Inter was pending In the
Senate. II was suggested by Senator
Gray, but was written by Senator Alli-
son at MIR. Grny's request. There was
no debate 10 the Senate, M the arpro-
priatiUn COMMITTEES, knowing the great
need for improvement in this harhor.
the matter having been fully explained
by Senator Gray, unanimously agreed
to the amendment
When the bill went to the House
there was sumo discussion regarding
the amendment, and it was fully un-
derstood before the vote was taken that
the money was to be made available ut
once on account of the government
work being done 10 this city.
AS the Secretary of War and the
Comptroller of the Treasury have
promised to give the matter immediate
consideration, it 10 expected that some
thing will bu heard from them in few
days, and II the recent adverse decision
10 reversed, Senator Gray is entitled to
the credit of placing a different phase
on the situation.
