RIVER AND HARBORS.
The senate committee on commerce to-
day commenced the consideration of the
river and harbor bill Action upon sew
eral amendments heretofore adopted has
been reconsidered and various house pro-
visions recast until the total appropria-
tons have been reduced below that made
by the house. The Nicaragua canal
amendment was voted down today.
The committee caused the reduction in
the total of the bill by horizontal cuts on
all important items, these reductions
amounting to cne-fourth in all appropri-
atoms of over $50, 600 in immediate cash
appropriations, and one-third in all APP
preparations in excess of $500 900 for con-
unu1ng contracts. These reductions were
made in all sums above those amounts
whether they were as the bill passed the
house or as it had been amended by the
senate committee. In some instances the
committee had increased the amounts
provided by the house, and in cases of
this kind the reductions amounted in
some instances to a practical return to
the house figures. There were also some
entirely new items added by the commit
tee. All were reduced The bill, there
fore, is practically a new measure as to
