for obstruction. The military and med

discomfort with the sentences imposed
at Kieff and with military law gener-

claTed its conviction that the students

Washington eb. 1S.-Thc senate COM
mittee on commerce today concluded
the consideration of the river and har-
bur bill. Action upon several amend
ments heretofore adopted have been re-
considered, and various house prOvis-
ions recast until the total appropria-
tiOns have been reduced below that
made by tie house. The Nicaragua
canal amendment was voted down to-
day The bill will b. reported TO the
senate tomorrow.
The committee caused the reduction
in the total Of the bill by horizontal
cuts on all important items, these re-
ductiOn amounting to One-fOurth in all
appropriations of over $4,000 in imme-
date cash appropriations, one third in
all appropriations in excess of 5000, coo
for continuing contracts. These reduc-
tions were made in all sums above
those amounts, whether they were as
the pill 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 re
auctions amounted in some cases to a
practical return to the house figures
There were also some entirely new
items introduced by the commit tee. All
were reduced. The bill, therefore, is
practically a new measure as to
amounts. The totals We're not care
Iully aScerJdlned by the committee, but
they approximate $50. coo 00e.

ment on the River and HarbOr Bill.
Appropriation Is Urged for Improving Terminus of the
New Salt Lake Road.

The bill to define the word con
spiracy'' in the Sherman antitrust law,
10 avoid the possibility of its being held
applicable to labor organizations, was
defeated by almost q two thirds vote.
The sundry civil bill was under con-
sideration late in the day, and Mr. Can
non took occasion to make 81 detailed
statement of the appropriations of the
present congress. He was led to do this,
he said, by many criticisms of the reck-
less extraVagance of this congress. The
situation, he said, was quite bad enough
without exaggerating it.
Mr.. Cannon presented a detailed ia
Bile which showed grand total of 1894,
llS,595, emitting the $50, 600 sinking
fund. This grand total is $26, 255, 209 be
low the estimates, which aggregated
S720, ST4, S04, exclusive of the sinking
fund
The detailed amounts of appropria-
ton bills was given as follows:
Agriculture. 81. 4SS, 500; army, $117, 547.-

and harbor, $22,S02,7l1; sundry civil,
$59.7O3, 254.
Explaining the statement in detail,
Mr.. Cannon said:
/. THE statement indicates an apparent
increase of appropriations at this ses-
sion over those made at the last session
of $50 967, 1872.
Three of the regular annual apprO-
priatiOn bills and the river and harbOr
bill show substantial increases which
amount to more than the whole appar-
ent increase, namely, the army bill, So

pOstofice bill, SIC, $50: the river and
harbOr bill, so, 242.701. A total of S49,

yesterday afternoon, the members re

by vote of SO to y. an unexpected
circumstance was the absence of de-
pate This may be accounted for. how
ever, by the fact that the house has
talked itself hoarse in previous argu-
mentS over the measure
me veto came up as a special order
at O'Clock. Mcmillan at once moved
that the word public be stricken ont
OF the title, so as to make it appear
that the board Of health should not
nave the power to exclude unvaccinated
children from any schools. The amend
ment was adopted without dissent and
then, when a proposition was made to
place the bill on its final passage. Axton
made point of order.
1t was that, as the bill had been
amended, it must go to the governor
again. The speaker declared the point
of order well taken and stated that he
would entertain motion to reconsider
the vote by which the amendment was
inserted. Hewlett, who hadn't voted at
all on the motion, now moved to recon
slider. The motion was adopted.
Now, f I understand this question 9"
said Homer, this bill has been passed
and vetoed. Now any change we make
will have to go through the house and
the senate ana to the governor and
then back here. 1t seems to me that
any amendments out of order, and the
only question we can consider is as to
whether or not the veto of the governor
shall. be sustained"
Bill is Passed.
Speaker Glasmann held that Homer's
point was proper, and he ruled that the
motion before the house was on the
sustaining or rejection of the veto. The
rollcaH was demanded and, without q
word of comment or explanation the
surprises came when Holzheimer and

expected to side with the executive,
took the contrary position
