Washington.-Two more disputes be-
tween the President and Congress
were revived Friday when the House
committee on appropriations reported
the sundry civil appropriation bill. One
was in regard to the limitation of the
use of the secret service of the Treas
ury Department. The other was the
appropriation for the examination OF
accounts of railroads under section 20
Of the Hepburn rate law. The bill, the
largest of all the general supply bills,
carries an appropriation of Sl37.O22.
OO7, or $26.OOO,O0O less than the est-
mate.
The committee incorporated In the
bill the same Limitation on the use Of
the secret service operatives as was
last winter. 1t was this Limitation that
drew forth the severe criticism Of the
President in his annual message last
December. For the enforcement OF
section 20 of the Hepburn bill $350.000
is appropriated. the same as last year.
The sum of $35O.o0O was voted
year ago only after the President had
written the speaker and had called
several members to the White House
to consult on the subject. Testimony
taken by the committee showed that
during the seven months of the pres.
ent year only $4,000 OF the fund had
been expended and In this amount
was included the salary Of thirteen ex-
aminers for whom maintenance was
suggested by the committee a year ago
from another fund.
In the bill the President Is author
lied with the consent Of Cuba to invite
proposals for removing the wrecked
battleship Maine from Havana harbor,
and to communicate with Congress rs
soon as may be practicable estimates
based upon the proposals received
Hereunder.
The bill carries authority for the
construction of building at Washing
ton at a cost of $2.500.000 to accommo-
date the geological survey. the recla-
nation service. the general land office
and the Indian bureau.
The largest item In the bill Is for
continuation Of work on the Panama
canal. For this purpose s33. .G3s. 900 is
appropriated. or Si.000,000 more than

Another large item is $lS,GlS.GiG
for the construction OF public build
ings. For the cost of maintaining pub
lie buildings already erected there is
appropriated $1,9O2.OOO for custodians
and janitors.
The bill also recommends at the ur-
gent request of the secretary OF the
interior the appropriation OF s1.000,0O0
for the protection OF the public do
main and the investigation OF entries
of public lands with view of deter
mining their validity. This amount
was increased at the last session from
