lutions for Investigation.

Show Gross Irregularities-Ex-
orbitant Expenditures.

Representative sulzer OF New York.
who is a member of the Committee on
Military Affairs, yesterday introduced in
the House a resolution to provide for
a Congressional investigation of the
transport service between San Fran
cisco and the Philippine Islands.
Mr.. Sulzer declares that the reports
of officials who have made inquiry into
the conduct of the station In San Fran
cisco have developed gross Irregular
tiles. and discovered that the Govern
ment has suffered from exorbitant and
unnecessary expenditures in connection
with the purchase and fitting out OF ves-
sells for the transport service.
Mr.. Sulzer, as member of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, has been
looking into the subject. and asserts
that Congressional Investigation will
reveal frauds and corruption.

to Report Measure Be-
fore Adjournment.
MALL STRUCTURE UNLIKELY Y
Understanding Expected Whereby
Building Operations Under Act of
1901 Will Be Deferred Pending Action
by Congress Early Next Session.

AS heretofore stated in The Times
the House will not act upon the union
station bill at this session of Congress.
Chairman Babcook, Of the House Dis
trict Committee, said yesterday that
his committee would not be able TO re-
port upon the bill before the adjourn
ment.
Even If the committee were able to
go over the entire matter and make
& report. it would be practically i'm
possible for Mr.. Babcock to have day
set aside by the House for its con-
Iteration, as the session is now so
near 4 close. Owing to the import
ance of the measure it would be neces-
sary to have it under consideration for
a full day.

Text of Resolutions.

Mr.. Suffers resolution is as follows:
Whereas the allegations of made
quate and scandalous conduct Of the ar
fairs OF the United States transport
service between San Francisco and the
Philippine Islands made by the Exam
iner' and other leading newspapers, have
been sustained by the official reports to
the War Department by Special War
Department Inspectors Col. John l..
Chamberlain and Col. Marion p. Maus;
and
Whereas no action commensurate
with the gravity OF the conditions shown
to have ex.>.ed has been taken by the
Secretary OF War;
Resolved, That the working of the
transport system be investigated by a
Congressional commission to consist OF
three members of the House and three
members of the Senate, which shall
have power to send for persons and
papers. and to make report at the next
session of Congress:
Resolved. That three thousand copies
of the reports of Colonel Chamberlain
and Colonel Maus blouse document 531,
parts and p be printed for the in
formation of Congress;
Resolved, That the House be in
formed of the reasons why there has
been an unreasonable delay in the fur

Item for Construction of
Barracks Increased to
S3,35O,OOO.
HOUSE CLAIMS The VICTORY
Amends Measure as Compromise-Sen-
ate Recedes From Position = Mr..
Richardson Resents Charge That
Democrats Do Not Want to Care for
Army.

After six weeks OF controversy the
Senate and House have at last reached
an agreement upon the army appropria-
tion bill. The result was accomplished
by compromise, in which the House
leaders claim the victory.
The Senate recedes from the position
which it assumed. and the House in
turn voted yesterday TO increase its
appropriation for the construction Of
barracks to $780, 900, which the Senate
will accept.
The original appropriation was for
s., ,O00, 900, which was increased in the
Senate TO $4,000, COO When the bill
came back to the House Mr.. Cannon,
the chairman of the Committee on Ap-
propriations. moved to instruct the con-
ferees not TO agree to this amendment,
and after considerable opposition the
motion was finally adopted.
Since that time the conferees have
been struggling with the question, and
each house refusing to yield until yes
terday, when the compromise was ef-
sected.
Called Up in the House.
Chairman Hull called up the confer
ence report in the House yesterday,
which settled all save Two questions in
dispute He moved that the House
agree to make the appropriation for
barracks $3.50, 900, which, he said, the
Senate would accept.
He explained that the House had
come out victorious in the con-
troversy, as the Senate had receded
from all legislative questions In the bill
which had been obnoxious to the House.
MIR. Hull said that the Democrats OPP
posed his motion because they were not
in favor of taking care OF the army.
Mr.. Richardson Dem. Tenn denied
this statement and said that the minor
ity had simply followed the leadership
OF Mr.. Cannon. who had made the mo-
tion to instruct the conferees not to
agree to the Senate amendment increas-
ing the appropriation for barracks.
Mr.. Cannon thought Mr.. Hulls motion
should prevail, as it would dispose of
the matters In dispute TO the satisfac-
tion of the House.
Mr.. Hay Indignant.
Mr.. Hay Of Virginia characterized
Chairman Hulrs statement that the
Democrats opposed the amendment be-
cause they did not want to care for the
army as a malicious slander made for
cheap political purposes. Mr.. Slayden
dem, Tex was recognized for one
moment and spoke in the same vein.
Mr.. Hulls motion was agreed to by
a vote OF 130 TO 20.
The bill was then returned to con-
ference and later the Senate agreed
to yield and accept the compromise.
The Washington times., 1902-06-26
May Not Be Considered.

The bill will be left as it now is in
the hands of the committee until next
session. There is no probability that
it will even be taken up in committee
for discussion at this session. and it
is certain there will be no more hear
ings accorded.
Many persons have been asked to be
heard upon the subject. and this is one
of the reasons why action will not be
had at this session. There Is strong

Refuses to Accept Senate
Amendment Providing
for Five Vessels.
BILL Sent BACK TO CONFERENCE
Views of the Committee Strongly OPP
posed-Type of Warship Commended
by Mr.. Kitchin, Mr.. Sulzer, and
Others.

By vote of ninety-ive to sixty-three
the House yesterday refused to accept
the Senate amendment to the naval ap-
preparation bill. providing for the pur-
chase OF five additional submarine boats
OF the Holland Tyre.
Mr.. Foss called up the conference re-
port on the bill yesterday. and an hour s
debate was devoted TO the question OF
submarine vessels. Mr.. Loudenslager
(Rep., n. j. offered a motion that the
House concur in the Senate amendment.
Mr.. Kitchin Dem.. n. c., member
of the Committee on Naval Affairs,
strongly advocated the amendment He
declared that submarine beats were
valuable as a means of harbor defense,
and that he'd there been two such yes
sells in the bay of Manila, Admiral Dewey
would not have been able to have sailed
in and destroyed the Spanish fleet as he
did.
Mr.. Sulzer for the Amendment.
Mr.. Sulzer Dem.. n. " also contend
ed that harbors should be protected by
this type of vessel. He declared his
opinion that they were more essec..re
than land batteries and gunboats against
a hostile feet. While the navy was be-
ing equipped with great battleships, he
believed that there should be more OF
the smaller craft of this character
Mr.. Cowherd Dem. MOI and Mr..
Roberts (Rep.. Mass.) argued in the
same line. The latter declared that the
Committee on Naval Affairs, of which
he is a member. had taken snap judg-
ment upon the question.
An Experimental Stage.
Mr.. Foss. Mr.. Cannon. Mr. Clayton of
Alabama. and Mr.. Tayier of Ohio, op-
posed the amendment. contending that
submarine vessels were yet in an ex-
perimental stage, and that officials of
the navy were not in favor of purchas-
ing additional boats of this class.
After the rejection of the amendment
the bill was sent back to conference.

Will Be Acted on Today.

Chairman Hepburn's report on behalf
of the House conferees was made shortly
before the recess last night, but went
over until this morning in order to have
it printed. II will probably be considered
and agreed to shortly after the House
meets.
The report reads:

struction of a canal connecting the

(HAIRMAN HEPBURN YIELDS
RESULT Due Largely to Action of Sen
ator Morgan - Urged Acceptance of
Senate Bill Rather Than No Canal
at All.

The conferees of the House and Sen
late yesterday afternoon reached unani-
nous agreement on the Senate bill pro-
Iyiding for the purchase and construction
: Aof the Panama Canal. When the House
Saccepts the recommendation of its con-
kferees the measure will go to the Presi-
dent for his signature.
The conference committee held one
meeting Tuesday and two yesterday. Al
the final session, Chairman Hepburn, au-
thor of the bill passed by the House
after first having made an informal can
vass OF that body, announced his pur-
{pose to recommend the abandonment OF
the Nicaragua bill and the concurrence
/ of the House in the Senate amendment
known as the Spooner substitute, or the
Panama bill.
The Washington times., 1902-06-26
Mr.. Morgan's Persuasion.

This result was largely due to the ac-
tion of Senator Morgan, who for years
has been the foremost advocate of the
Nicaraguan route, in urging the Ala
bama members OF the House and other
Democratic members to accept the SEN
/ ate bill rather than have none at all.
| The effect of this movement was to
break the Democratic opposition in :he
House to the Panama bill. and to give
Chairman Hepburn ample assurance that
his motion to recede from the disagree
|. ment 10 the Senate amendment would
be carried.
The Senate conferees at the early ses-
sion yesterday were urged to include in
the Senate bill an amendment to limit to
six months the time for obtaining salts
factory title to the property of the Pan
anna Canal Company. after which the
ANicHraugan route was to be used. They
(einted out. however, that that PROPOSE
tion has already been voted down by the
Senate and furthermore that any amend
ment recommended by the conferees
might lead to such extended debate that
the bill might fail at final passage this
