CANNON WAKES ELOQUENT
Graphically Describes How Agreement
Was Reached and Other Matters
Pertaining to Appropriations

The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill was presented to the
House at 2 o'clock this morning. Mr..
Foss said it carried a total Of $Sl. .S77. 600.
the largest amount ever embodied in a
naval bill It was not only the largest.
but the best bill ever passed, making
provision for the largest program OF
construction Congress has yet author
lied in a single measure In all impor-
tant matters the contentious of the
House conferees were yielded to-
The conference report was adopted by
a vote OF 173 to IS.
Mr.. Cannon's Earnest Talk.
Mr.. Cannon then called up the confer
ence report on the last appropriation
bin. the general deficiency. which was
read. Mr.. Cannon told the House. with
much feeling, how the agreement was
reached.
Describing the practice governing leg
islatlon on appropriation bills which re-
qaired the body proposing new matter
TO recede on demand Of the other body
in conference. he said the trouble was
all about an amendment TO pay the state
OF South Carolina $i7 600 on a claim
which the accounting officers Of the Gov
ernment found TO amount to 81 cents.
The Senate added the full face of the
claim to the bill and the House con
ferees found such O condition in the
Senate that satisfied them that unless
the $4,000 gift was made 10 South Car
olina the bill would have been talked TO
death. They found themselves com
PEELED either 20 submit to this lepisla
tion blackmail or face an extra session.
The state Of Vermont had claim for
Slj0000 in the dill. and as to that the
Senate conferecs readily receded. but
they could not he moved respecting the
$47. 900 proposition.
