sition. Flo does not think the committee
has agreed upon any specific amount but
he is very hopeful Of the outcome Of their
deliberations. 5j
#l"I shalt not DO satisfied with any
amount less than the three millions for
which wo asked, he said to-day. WI me
wo would, OF course, be glad to receive
an appropriation OF two millions. wc do
not think that an exposition commensu-
rate with tho Importance Of the event In
American history which IL is proposed
to commemorate could be held If the APP
preparation given us amounted to only
two millions, and IL the committee should
recommend that sum should cndeavor
TO have the House increase It to three
millions. But. as l said the committee
has not agreed upon two millions as the
sum to be appropriated and Will mot
agree for some days when the bill will
be reported. expect the bill to come
from the committee one day next week. y
Fl UNvER1FTED4 REPORT.
Tho report that the committee has
about agreed uron4 two millions as the
sum to be voted tho exposition has
never been verified as stated In this COR
lrespondence at the time 1t was pub
lished, but there is believed to be no doubt
that a fairly good appropriation will be
recommended whether the three mil
lions provided for In the original BILL be
voted or not.
Mr.. Maynard has been somewhat criti-
clsed for failure to obtain appropra-
lions for the Improvement of Norfolk
harbor, the criticism being based upon the
fact that appropriations have been made
this year for Improvement OF rivers and
harbors elsewhere, while nothing has
tGen done for Norfolk. There have been
no appropriations made for work of this,
character this year. except such as was
provided for in the river and harbor bill
which passed the House and Senate three
years ago.
Bills for the Improvement Of rivers and
harbors recommend the expenditure of
Committee on Appropriations reports
bills which provide the money for the
work These bills are not reported and
ready to begin the work of Improvement.
The bills which have passed this year
making approximations fo- the improve,
called for in the Last river and harbor
bill which got through Congress.
VALUED THESE IIARBORs.
MIR. Maynard calls attention to the fact
that the last bill for the Improvement of
rivers and harbors provided for the ex-
provement of the harbor at Norfolk and
Newport News. He does not think there
has been any failure on the part Of the
of Hampton Roads and he said to-day
he was sure thai when another river and
harbor bill gets through Congress- Nor
harbors will be taken care Of.
Representative Glass Is about to re-
ceive a distinct promotion in the way
81 by Represenatve w Vii Dt the
Democratic leader OF the House. for the
vacancy on the Committee on Banking
and Currency, caused by the death cath =, OF
This is one of the most important com
mttees of the House. and Mr.. Glass is
glad to give up his place on the Commit
on the Banking and Currency COMMITS
tee. He is also a member of the Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Postot1ce De-
partment.
There is going to be a great fight in
the Conference Committee on the pro-
vision in the postotiice approximation bill
which provides that rural carriers may
act as agents for newspapers and perl
odicals, and may do an express business
for hire. The House refused after long
debate to allow this feature to be enacted
in the bill, but he Senate very promptly
put it in. and also agreed to the House
provision which Increased the salary OF
tho rural carrier, from $50 a month, TO
$50 a month. It Is said That there mas
been much trouble caused In some sec
lions because of the carriers acting as
agents for certain publica lions and -, dis,
eliminating against certain others. some
posed the feature when It was up innthe
House, but many papers of the West
fought for it.. The House refused to nj
low the carriers to act as ,; ase ~, sa anr
ate yielded, and now the fight VIII nave
to be finished In the Committee of Con-
ference from the two houses.
