 The decision of the caucus to side track the bill has alarmed members of the house, who see in it the de- feat of the bill. It is feared that the bill will be defeated and leave the engineers without funds to con- tinue Improvements already under way. In this connection Represen- tative J. Hampton Moore of Phil adelphia, said yesterday: "The fail- ure of the river and harbor bill, in stead of saving money for the gov ernment, will result in great damage, delay and financial loss. We can not stop work on great river and harbor improvements without waste of time and money, the consequences of which are not to be calculated. Some of us are not yet convinced that the bill will not pass
 General Exodus Predicted.
 Those opposed to the bill, how ever, say they are willing to remain in Washington indefinitely before bill to become a law, and it is the general opinion that as soon as the presidents antitrust bills are passed there will be a general exodus from Washington and the river and har- Dor bill will be lost sight of.
 In his remarks yesterday on the bill Senator Burton gave list of rivers under improvement upon which the traffic had declined. Among others he mentioned the Connecticut river below Hartford where the aver- age traffic from 1890 to 1895 was 1.041.o00 tons per year had declined so that during the year 1912 there was but 617,9S1 tons, 8 decrease from the average of 423,091 tons per year. The traffic on the Paucatuck river between Connecticut and Rhode Is- land declined from 167,66S tons in 1905 to 55,522 in 1912.
 The Connecticut members of the house expressed the belief that the bill will become law at this ses- sion.

Washington, July 25.-The de- ision of the caucus of democratic Fnators the other night to lay aside he river and harbor bill in favor of he administrators antitrust pro ram, as was foretold by Senator
 randegee last Tuesday, has almost |Dnvinced the friends of that mea- nre that there is but slight chance pr that bill to be enacted at this 'ession of congress. notwithstanding he assertion of Senator Simmons of Forth Carolina, majority leader in he senate, that consideration of the 5ver and harbor bill would be re- umed following the passage of the
 -ust program. When this statement las repeated to Senator Burton. who
 leading the fight against the bill,
 e said that Senators would be wear hg fur caps and overcoats before the tver and harbor bill would be passed y the senate.''
 Senator Burton declares that the
 ending measure is of the pork bar el'' variety and carries large appro-
 riations for communities, prin- Rnally in the south and southwest, hat have little or no real merit. One f the projects that Senator Burton .ttacked viciously is the Trinity river .f Texas. Parts of this stream are ny and it was shown in the debate hat 8 trolley company wanted a DOT ton of the river bed for a right of kay, and that the district army en- 1ineer recommended drilling of ar Fsian wells to supply water for the Imposed stream.
