Legislature of California. The repre-
sentatives Of California came here,
went before the committee, came be-
fore the House Of Representative and
before the Senate, pledging the amount
Of $3.50, 600 out of the treasury of Cali
fornia to carry out this plan of i'm
provement whenever the Government
Of the United States would provide for
the other half; and this Act, this
amendment, is intended only to make
effective the effort made by the last
Congress to carry out that general
purpose.
Mr.. Cannon-Now, then, what would
my friend say, if California is willing
to do this, and not only willing, but is
bound to do it, and without any power
in Congress to compel it to do it, and
it does not do it; what objection would
there be to agreeing to this amend
ment with an amendment that this ex-
penditure of $250,000 should not be
made out of the Federal treasury until
a contract was entered into that Cali
fornia should give its $3.50, 600?
Mr.. De Vries-That would simply Gre
ate an unnecessary embarrassment.
The money has been appropriated by
the State, which is more anxious to
enter into a contract than the Gen
eral Government is.
Mr.. Cannon-Then it will do no harm
If this goes back to conference with the
understanding that such provision,
aptly drawn, shall go into the Act as
agreed upon.
Mr.. De Vries-But the gentleman does
not seem to comprehend that that
would tie the hands of the War De-
partment in doing the work that they
are doing.
Mr.. Cannon-The War Department is
not expending any of this money.
Mr.. De Vries-But it will at an early
date. / do not think there is any evil
dence of lack of good faith on the part
of California. We have appropriated
the money and the money has been
lying there for two years, under diff
ferent State Acts, for this particular
improvement. And not only that. but
for improving the lower Sacramento
River, which is a part of the complete
system of this Improvement, the State
of California has, in advance of Con-
gress, made appropriation of $30O,OOO,
that is waiting the appropriation on the
the part of Congress of similar sum
to meet the same. No imputation shall
be cast upon our State in these mat
ters for she has repeatedly and consist
emily done not only her share of public
improvement, but also borne a large
proportion of the burdens which a
tardy Congress made necessary.
Mr.. Cannon-I will take the gentle
man at his word, because I have not
access to the California statutes. 1t
iS not mart Of fha h,,SinoSS of the An
preparations Committee to study these
matters. This is put on here by force
in Senate amendment, and your con-
ferrees have to deal with matters over
which they have no jurisdiction. We
have to catch up knowledge of it just
as we are catching 1t now. Now. then,
taking the gentleman at his word, and
have no doubt Of the good faith and

which can not be used without this en-
abling Act.
Mr. Cannon-Then it is an enabling
Act. as the gentleman says, and as the
California delegation seems to agree,
and these words are legislation that will
enable California to do this at her dis
cretion?
Mr. Hilborn-There is no discretion
about it.
MI. Cannon-There is nothing COM
pulsory.
Mr.. Hilborn-The money has been
specially appropriated, and is lying In
the treasury of the State.
Mr.. Cannon-But the Attorney Cen
eral has held it can not be used.
Mr.. Hilborn-It can not be turned
over until the United States does the
same. This straightens out the propo-
Sition.
Mr.. Sayers-Mr. Speaker, it seems TO
me from the statement made by the
gentleman from California (Mr. De
Vries) that if the amendment be con-
CURED in no harm can come to the
Federal Government. Even If the
State of California should refuse to pay
the $25O,O0O that is already appropria-
ted for this purpose it will not put the
Federal Government in worse posi-
ton.
Mr. De Vries-Why, certainly not.
Mr.. Maguire-Let me make state
ment with reference to that legislation
California, through her Legislature, de-
string to have this scheme of improve
ment, involving an expenditure OF
$500, ,OOO carried out, passed an Act ap-
10 11n
purpose whenever a similar appropria-
ton should be made by the Federal
Government to carry out the work. The
Federal Government has attempted to
avail itself of that California appro-
priation, but under the limitations I'M
posed upon the War Department on the
one hand and imposed upon the Legls-
lature of the State of California by its
Constitution on the other, there has
been a failure to make the fund avail
able for the work.
Mr.. Hilborn-A deadlock.
Mr. Maguire-A deadlock. Now, the
proposition here is to make that fund
available for the scheme of improve
ment provided for in the River and
Harbor Act of 1896. In the payment
of that $25O,OOO by the State the State
is paying one-half Of the expense Of i'm
proving a navigable river that would
otherwise be improved; under the gen.
eral practice by the Government of the
United States out of its own funds
alone. California is interested in hav-
ing the Improvement made, made
speedily, and it made an offer to pay
half Of the expense. That such offer
was sanctioned by the Legislature and
made to the Federal Government by the
The record-union., 1898-06-17

there is no appropriation Of S250,OOO for
this purpose, or Of any other sum, in
this bill.
Mr.. Barham-It does not make any
appropriation. The appropriation is al
ready made.
Mr. De Vries-It does not appropriate
a cent.
Mr.. Barham-It is already made.
Mr.. De Vries-Made in 1896.
Mr. Cannon-Very we'll. Now you
want this legislation touching the ap-
preparation made in the Act Of 1896?
Mr.. De Vries-It does not affect that
appropriation one iota; it affects and
makes available the State appropria-
ton only-does not affect the Federal
appropriation.
Mr.. Cannon-Then what is the use
Of it?
Mr. De Vries-It enables the Federal
Government to use the money in the
treasury in the State Of California to-
day, and 1t does not affect this appro-
priation one iota.
Mr.. Barham-This is to make avail
able the $3.50, 900 which has been con-
tributed by the State Of California, and

the Disagreement of two others.
Near the corner of ST. James and Duval
streets a certain discordant faction got
together and proceeded to stast a row.
Knives and bricks were used without 1e-
gard to their effect on the personal aP-
pearance of others, and William Robinson
got more than his share in his whole

in attempting to cut up Robinson.
