In one case nine insurgent sympa

Mr.. Burton, chairman of the Commit
tee on Rivers and Harbors. who is in
charge of the bill. made an elaborate
explanation of its provisions.
He said the Sundry Civil Bill would
carry about IS 900. 900 on contracts pre-
viously authorized. The total of direct
appropriations for rivers and harbors
for the next fiscal year would therefore
aggregate $32. 900 900.
Mr.. Burton produced figures TO show
that the enormous tonnage carried up

.ensive appropriations they had re-
ceived. He explained that the Missouri
