WASHINGTON, Feb.-During tn,

WASHINGTON, Feb.-During the
week there was an illustration Of how
the Senate can do things In minutes
that consumes the time Of the House
not only hours but days. During a
night session the naval appropriation
bill carrying money supplies aggre-
eating more than s1O1.000.OOo. was
passed in eight minutes less tain an
hour and the rivers and harbors was
put through the Senate In an hour and
twenty-five minutes later. The latter
measure carries total Of more than
100000. In the House Of Repre-
sentatives both these bills were the
subject OF protracted debate. Much
developed against some of the naval
bills opposition particularly that
providing for the construction Of
battleships. The rivers and
narbors bill Of course, known
among members as the pork"
because of the widely spread improve
ments for, is always the occasion for
congratulation on the one hand and
condemnation on the other. Those
members who believe they have been
neglected or who have not received
all the pork" to which they think
their districts are entitled, invariably
raise their voices in remonstrance and
cry for more.
The Senate is essentially body
where routine legislature is managed
by committees. When a bill Is called
up If a democrat thinks it is objection
able he demands to know what po-
sition the minority members Of the
committee took in the committee on
this. If the Senator in charge Of the
bill states that the minority is agreed
to the bill as reported, and there
should not be majority member Of the
committee in the chamber at the mo
ment, the statement is accepted
without question and the bill
passed upon. Of course there are
times when individual members have
their own amendments and opportu-
nifty is given the Senate to act upon
them. 1t was because Of this proce-
dure that the Senate at this night ses-
sion passed supply budgets in about
two hours at the rate Of about one mil
