to be Added to Sundry Bill.

WASHINGTON. March 10.-The Sen
ate Committee on Commerce reported
adversely on all proposed amendments
to the sundry' civil appropriation Dill
provi ling for river and harbor improve
ments under the continued contract
system, and for which estimates have
not been made.
This decision had the effect of ruling
out all the amendments of this char
acter except the one offered by Sena-
tor Mcbride, providing for the improve
ment of the Yaquina Harbor, in Ore
gon, and appropriating $50, 600 for this
purpose. On this favorable action was
recommended.
Senator Frye. Chairman of the Com
mittee, afterward explained the ad-
verse action to the Senate. and the
House amendments and various amend
ments for rivers and harbors We're laid

NAVAL SUPPLIES.
A Resolution Providing for Their
Admission Free of Duty.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Chandler of New Hampshire of the Sem
ate Naval Affairs Committee to-day In
PRODUCED a joint resolution providing for
the temporary admission, free of duty,
of naval supplies procured abroad. Fol-
lowing is the text of the resolution:
That such guns, ammunition and
other naval SUPPLIES as may be purchased
abroad by this Government for the ma
tional defense prior to January l, 1899,
shall be admitted at any port of the
United States free of duty"
The resolution was introduced at the
request of the Secretary of the Navy,
who, in Letter to Senator Hale says:
Under the existing law a varying but
considerable ad valorem duty on articles
falling within the category of naval sup
plies is imposed. The effect of the reso-
luton, if adopted. will be to remit all
duties upon guns, ammunition and other
naval supplies which it may be found
necessary to purchase abroad. The
temporary remission of duty on these
supplies is deemed important, inasmuch
as without some special enactment of
this nature such portion of the apprO-
priation made by Congress for the pur-
pose as may be expended abroad would
be very materially reduced by the re-
duction therefrom of duty amounting in
some cases to nearly one-half of the
purchase price"
Allison of Iowa called Chambers at
tention to the fact that resolutions and
bills of the character of the one pre-
scented ordinarily originate in the House.
Chandler admitted that that was true,
but said that he had introduced it with
the idea of having it referred to the
Finance Committee. He was willing. he
said, to trust to the wisdom of that com
mittee TO make proper disposition of the
resolution.
AT his suggestion the resolution was
referred to the Committee on Finance.

A LOST CHILD.
