that cadet at Annapolis from each

controversy IL another meeting is or
dered The conference developed the
fact that the representatives Of both
houses are willing to make mutual con-
cessions, and IN reality an agreement
was practically reached. though 1t was
decided to first report disagreement to
both houses in order to test the feel
ing.
The agreement eliminated all inland
and coast work. confined the survey to
the ocean. eliminating all reference to
lakes and to photographic surveys"
and reduces the 100000 appropriated
by the senate amendment to $4,000.
The amendment. as agreed upon, viii
read as follows:
For ocean survey. including the wa
ters OF Cuba and the Philippine archi-
pelago, but not the coast thereof, and
for the purchase Of nautical books,
charts and sailing directions and
freight and express charges on the
same, $4,000.
This is compromise in all respects.
The original provision in the house
bill was for ocean surveys only. and
it appropriated 100000. This settle
ment is said to be satisfactory to the
superintendent of the Coast and Geode-
tic Survey
