 the Matter.
IS NOW IN THE SENATE
Bill Comes Before the Senate Com merce Committee on Thursday
 Next.

rLittle Rock, Ark, Feb. 1S.-In the national rivers and harbors bill, re- gently introduced in the lower house of congress, the Arkansas river plan for dredging the river from Pine Bluff to Ozark does not appear
 This information was obtained to- day from Senator James P. Clarke who is now at home on visit to his son, who has been ill for some time, and the senator will leave Sunday night. by way Gf Chicago, to reach Washington in time to sit with the senate committee on commerce on that day, at which time the con- sideration of the bill will be started.
 Senator Clarke today received a ~message from Senator F. NJ Simmons, North Carolina, who is a Demo- straffc memser cf the committee. also to the effect that the bill will today ( be read the first time in the commit tee and t9fyf on Thursday of the con- Ing week # will be considered by the committee.
 s Cause of Absence.
 & Senator Clarke today stated that Athe leaving of the Arkansas river pro- Meet from the rivers and harbors bill lis prohaly due to the fact that he has #introduced in the senate bill cover Ming this matter some time ago and q that it is probable that those who framed the house bill considered the Arkansas river item as senate find ings" as it is called in congress.
 The senator called attention to the fact that the report of the engineers who made the survey recommended the incorporation of the Arkansas river project in the bill and that this bears out his idea as to the reason for the absence of the item from the house bill.
 Senator Clarke says the attitude of congress toward new enter- prlSes of this kind is that of expert mentation, to ascertain the probable results of further improvement and that should the improvements con- templated at this time show that there is sufficient commerce to jus tify the further outlay there will be not great deal of difficulty in SC curing additional appropriations
