Washington, Feb. 2S.-It can be
stated positively that TO River and
Harbor Bill will be reported at
this session OF Congress. The
House leaders are opposed to a
River and Harbor Bill, and the
friends of the bill on the committee
believe it would be better 10 wait
until the short session, after The
congressional elections next fall,
when a complete and comprehen-
sive bill can be reported, rather
than attempt to pass an inadequate
bill at this session.

BAD DAM NEWS.
No River and Harbor Bill
Likely 10 be Passed.

Washingion, Feb. ga la9g
and somewhat exciting debate Owe
the question OF river and harbor
appropriations WIS preclpltated IN
the =ouse today during the eonsid-
GRAFTON OF the Suudgy Civil Appro-
priation Bill. 1t was practically
agreed by all those Who pgriicira-
ted that there would be no river
and harbor bill al this scs,im of
Congress, and this led Nr. Moody
to attack the contract items carried
in the Sundry Civil Bill. He So
lected an appropriation Of $J50,000
for R0ckland, Ne, which Is ia Mr..
Dingley's district, aud his remarks
in denunciation of what he termed
favOritism approached the s,nsa-
tional. Mr.. Dingley denied that
he had ever suggested the appro.
priatiOn to the Committee on APP
preparations or to any individual
member of the committee. Itwas
intimsted there was a plan to de-
feat all the items in the bill so as
to force consideration Of general
river and harbor bill, but this init.
nation was not borne out by the
vote upon the amendment, upor
which the debate rested.
