WashingtOn.-The river and harbor

to the house on Wednesday by the
committee on rivers and harbors, car
ries an appropriation aggregating $685.
466,13S OF this sum $34,6O1, 612 is ap-

$48,834,526 is authorized for contin-

fixed as to when it shall be expended.
The bill will probably not be con-
sidered by the house until next Mon
day. This bill is record-breaker in
size, exceeding by many millions the
amount allowed for river and harbor
Improvements in any other congress.
In spite of the fight made for an ap-
preparation to continue work on deep
waterway between Chicago and st.

request, and the appropriation OF
100000 for a survey of a deep water
way between st. Louis and the gulf,
which Chairman Burton insisted must
precede any expenditures for a deep
waterway in Illinois, Is the only con.

New York-Two little tots, Nellie

younger, told Magistrate House In the
Harlem police court how their STEP
mother, Mrs. Kate Cravius had brand
ed them with a red-hot stove litter
when in play they had made too much
noise. Twice during the recital, the
prisoner, woman Of intelligence and
of pleasing appearance, not more than
Is years of age, tainted.
When restored the woman admitted
that she had burned the children, but
said that at the time she was pos
sessed by an nuaccountable mania.
The two girls, she said, had been play
ing with their dolls until the noise
and confusion robbed her of her rea-
son and left resistless impulse to
punish the little ones. Selling the
stove-lid litter, she pressed the glow
ing end upon the back of the right
hand of each child, causing scars that
the little ones will carry to their
graves.
A peculiar feature of the case was
the apparent affection for the children
felt by the prisoner, that attachment
being reciprocated.

which, after recounting Senator AL
