n.
Washington. March 21.-The House
to-day passed the river and barber bill,
which haze been under consideration

eral minor amendments were adopted.
not single dollar was added to the
measure and as passed it carried ex-
actly what it did when it came from
the committee-$6OS SIS, 267, including
authorizations. Mr.. Sulzer of New
York made an effort to force a record
vote on the final passage of the BILL
but only three menbers-Messrs Smith
of Iowa., Fitzgerald of New York and
Cochran of Missouri-supported him.
Something of a furry was caused by
an amendment offered by Mr.. Gaines
of Tennessee to an amendment which
was presented and adopted yesterday
on motion of Mr.. Richardson of Ten
nessee, to permit the Secretary of War
to grant leases to the owners of land
abutting lock and dam No. 1 at Nash
vile, Tenn, for the use of the water
power created by that dam, to allow
the construction of inlet and outlet ca
mails, etc. Mr.. Richardson's amend
ment met with no opposition yesterday.
Mr.. Gaines amendment to the
amendment provided that the lease or
grant of this water power should be
to the highest bidder.
Mr.. Richardson explained his con-
nection with the original amendment
in which he said he had no personal
interest.
He said that last summer at the re-
quest of some constituents of his, who
desired to obtain the privilege of using
the water power at Nashville, he and
Senator Carmack came to Washington
to see the Secretary of War about the
matter. The Secretary declined to
grant the request for the use Of the
water. saying it was a matter which
Congress should pass upon. There the
matter rested until a short time ago,
when his constituents asked him to call
the matter to the attention of Con-
=ress and he had done so. st had no
further interest in the matter" Mr..
Richardson said, than to do my duty
by my constituents, who had asked
me to come here, and who had paid
my way"
Mr.. Gaines insisted that the rights
to be given away under his colleagues
amendment were exceedingly valuable.
He said that a New York concern had
offered 1885,, 900 for similar rights at
Chattanooga. AT the War Depart
ment. he said. it was estimated that
the water rights at Nashville were
worth several million dollars.
After some further discussion the
Gaines amendment, modified slightly,
was adopted.

French Government Given n Slight
Check in Chamber of Deputies.

granting of amnesty to imprisoned
strikers, was adopted by a big major

in the balance.

Copenhagen, March 21.-The fate Of
the Danish West Indies treaty, ac-
