NATIONS CAPITOL.
ALL BILLS HAVE PASSED
But Not Easy. Rivers and Harbor
Bill was the Last and Hardest
Problem. Pure Food Bill Definitely
Displaced.

All the appropriation bills have
passed both Senate and House. But
not easily. Conferences were many
and discussion at times ran high. The
House finally accepted the Senate pro-
vision for increase in the Marine
Corps, the last issue in the naval bill,
! and receded from the House mileage
provision, the last stumbling block OF
the general deficiency bill. The House
stood pat on the "no constructive
recess programme. The rivers and
harbors was the last and hardest prob
! lem. The House took the view that

Of feeling behind Mr.. Burton s state
ment that the two Pennsylvania Sen
ators would be held responsible if the

Senate conferees. The canal bill is
still in conference, with no promise of
adjustment. The Senate passed on
Mr.. Kitiredge's motion joint res
olution extending to the end Of the
next Congress the Spooner law. The
/ resolution reported to the House was
referred, but it is said that the COM
mittee will not meet to consider the
matter. The House bill re-instating
5he midshipmen who had been expell-
I'd from Annapolis was passed by the
Senate, and both branches adopted

out the mandates of tne county board
OF health.
The visit Of Mr. Emerys deputies to
the smelter Offices became known on the
street during the latter part Of the
forenoon and many were heard to eX-
press regret that the local smelter
smoke situation had reached such an
acute stage. II was looked upon as
the real beginning Of a long legal con-
test between the farming interests OF
the Salt Lake valley and the big con-
Germs operating the shelters at Muir
ray and Bingham Junction.
According to the notice from the
board of health there must be an lm-
mediate abatement Of the smoke nuis-
ance. This said a wen known gem
