HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.
Tho Appropriation nilI Passed hy the
United stntes Senate.

Tho Appropriation nilI Passed hy the
United states Senate.
Without word Of discussion of the
merits of the measure, the United
States Senate Monday PASSED the
River and Harbor bill, carrying in
appropriations about $40, 600, GOO So
thoroughly had the bill been considered
by the commerce committee that every
Senator was content that it should
pass Us reported from the committee.
Soon after the senate convened con.
sideration was begun of the River and
Harbor bill, committee amendments
first to he considered The bill was
read at length. At , o'clock the I'M
finished business--the Philippine Gov
eminent hill--was laid aside in order
that the River and Harbor bill might
he completed. All of the amendments
Of the COMMITTEES were agreed to in
the course Of the reading of the
ntasure.
In response to an inquiry by Mr.
McComas, Mr.. Frye, in charge of the
bill, said that no appropriation had
been made for dredging the harbor at
the Annapolis Training School because
the aggregate appropriation carried by
the measure was already large, and
the committee was of the opinion that
Annapolis could wait. Mr. Warren of
Wyoming, felt that fair appropriation
ought to have been carried by the bill
for the construction of dams in the
West for the conservation of water for
irrigation purposes; but he yet had
hope that the House would pass the
irrigation measure passed by the
Senate. In view of the tendency of
that bill he would offer no amendment
to the pending measure. Mr.. Mitchell
of Oregon, made a statement OF the
proposed improvement of the Columbia
River, reviewing the work already done
looking to that improvement. He said
| that no more important proposition
was involved in the bill than that re-
lating to this improvement, and he
urged that the conference committee
should insist upon the amendment in
sorted in the measure by the Senate
committee. The bill was passed with
out further comment
The bill carries an appropriation OF
S10O,000 for the Wilmington harbor,
SO, 900 for Smyrna River and $15, 600
for other streams in the State. OF the
Wilmington appropriation SIS, 600 is
for immediate use, beginning July LIST,
S25, 600 contingent upon the city TAX
ing care of any sewage flowing into the
Christiana River, and $50, 600 for a
new survey for Il permanent project.
Congressman Ball writes that he be-
lieyes the conference committee will
approve the bill, after which the House
of Representatives will take up the
amendments, and no serious opposition
is anticipated there.
