The river and harbor appropriation
bill was passed yesterday by the house.
The bill has been under consideration
over n week. aud has been assailcd
from man quarters. but It's friends
have stood solidly by IL and defeated
every amendment 10 which the river

The bill passed practically rs 1T came
from the committee. IL carries slightly
less than 500. 600. 900, OF which S23 ,000,-
600 is in direct appropriations.

The house went into committee %
tine whole yesterday aud took action
on several bills. A motion to adjourn
early in the afternoon was made and
lost, after which the members decided
to 20 TO work in earnest the remain
der of the day. The committee of the
whole killed "a bill 10y Crockett, of
Knox. providing for three days notice
of appraisal Of lands on sale by order
of the court. A bill was favored pro-
viding for an appeal in forcible entry
and detention cases and extending the
matters that u bond in such cases must
cover, The bill permitting the APP
po%intinent Of a dcputy county attorney
in Lancaster county was also gotten
through the committee of the whole
as was IA bill providing a penalty for
all persons voting illegally when not
having established a residence in their
voting precinct.
There was some difficulty about Sc
curing consent To an adjournment till
Monday. A motion was carried to ad-
iourn when the honse should stop bust
ness, till this morning. This was later
reconsidered.
After the house adjourned several
committee meetings were held. The
committee on counties and county
boundaries agreed to report favorably
upon II bill making county commits.
sioners in Lancaster and Douglas
counties elected by the county at large
instead of by districts. This was made
necessary in this county because the
census brought the classification IA de-

The committee On finance, ways and
means agreed TO a bin appropriating
$1,000 for the purchase of medals for
the soldiers of the recent war. This
was authorized by the last Legislature
but no appropriation was then made.

Just before q o'clock last evening the

ing originated in the senate the final
question was not upon its passage. but
upon agreeing To the senate amend
mcnts. They were agreed to by "A vote
Of fo~rty-three to twenty-three. While
party lines were drawn on the measure
four democrats voted for IL. Senator's
Lindsay, McLauren, Morgan and Sui.
Ivan. Senator IIoar. who was de.
tanned at his home here by illness, was
paired against the bill with senator

Every effort to prevent the increase
in the strength OF the army was de-
feated by II decisive majority. As the
bin originated in the senate IL now
will go directly to the conference COM
mittees, appointed by the two branches
Of h congress.
Many amendments changing the bill
in minor particulars were offered, but
as q rue they were rejected without
division. The measure having origi-
mattel in the senate, the question then
was upon agreeing to the bill as
amended.
