RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL
FAVORED BY SENATORS
Committee on Commerce Expected
to Take Definite Action on
Measure Saturday.

Sentiment in favor of the passage OF
rivers and harbors bill this session de-
veloped In the Senate committee on COM
merce this morning.
At its regular meeting today the rivers
and harbors bill. which has passed the
House. came up for informal discussion.
No action was taken, but majority o.
those present seemed to be in favor OF
such a bill. 1t will be taken up for
definite action Saturday.
Much will depend on the decision of the
committee as to whether there shall be,
in the future. an annual rivers and har-
bors bill or one biennially. The bill which
passed the House was framed with "A
view to having an annual bill. Should
the Senate committee agree to that policy
1t will favor a bill carrying about the
same amount as is provided in the House,
bill. If a biennial bill is favored 1t is
likely that a bill for larger appropria.
ton will be reported from the commit
tee to the Senate.
The bill requiring passenger steamers
to be equipped with wireless apparatus
came up for discussion this morning. The
subcommittee to which it was referred
made a partial report, and action was
postponed until next week. The commit
tee. however. is believed to be generally
favorable to some such legislation.

Tribute to southerners.

I'VE have reached a time in history"
said the President, when even those
brave men who led the southern army
are willing generally to concede that the
result as 1t was is better than the result
would have been had their great efforts
been successful. But, my friends, when
the war was over We had but reached
one stage in the dreadful battle which
had been fought in the excelsior of the
cancer which was necessary from the
body polite Of the United States. There
remained then the union again-the re-
union of the feeling of the people of the
north and the people Of the southland it
is to the soldiers of the Union and the
Grand Army Of the Republic that we
turn to find the first great generous feel
ing toward their old foe whose bravery
they recognized.
II want to testify to the virtue of the
Grand Army Of the Republic in making
that feeling throughout this country per-
manent. You have no quarrel that the
followers of the lost cause, with senti-
ment and love for the bravery of those
who fought for it, still cherish sweet
memories Of the virtue and the courage
that they showed in that fight. You know
you were triumphant, and that that
which happened was for the best; but
you would not respect them as men
worthy of your steel il they did not
cherish the men who led them in that
fight brayely."
