MOVE TO RECOMMIT
R. and L. BILL
ISN'T VOTED On
Hastings Withdraws Mo-
ton, and Senate Increases
Two Items.

Washington, May 26.-An attempt
by Senator Hastings of Wisconsin to
have the $43,OO0,OOO rivers and harb-
ors appropriation bill sent back to the
commerce committee, to be cut in half,
was deferred today, despite declara-
ton by Senator Clarke, in charge of
the measure, that he was willing to
have a test vote of the senate senti-
ment taken at once.
At the request of several senators
who desire to offer amendments, Sen
ator Hastings withdrew his motion,
with the understanding he would re-
new it tomorrow or early next week.
Senator Hardwick's amendment, in
creasing from $4,000 to $4,000 the
appropriation for the Altamah, Ocosee
and Okmulgee rivers, in Georgia, was
adopted, as was an amendment by
Senator Clarke to authorize accept
ance Of a fund to erect a plant for
lighting the Statute of Liberty every
night in the year.
Two plans were submitted today,
designed by the authorities to prevent
future contests over the rivers and
harbors bill. One by Senator Shat
froth would provide that no appropria-
ton be made except with the proviso
that the community to be benefited
should pay at least 20 per cent of the
cost Of the project. The other, by
Senator Poindexter, would authorize
a special investigation on all pro-
posed work, on which report would
be made direct to the two houses of
congress.
Senator Clarke said that while he
would vote against the Shaffroth
amendment, the ideas expressed were
worthy Of careful consideration, and
might ultimately be adopted. He ad-
mitted that the present plan of appro-
priations on recommendations by the
army engineers had proven faulty.

The wake of the torpedo was observed to pass the stern of the vessel so close that it is looked upon as nothing short of a miracle that the steam CT was spared. The submarine neither gave nor attempted tI rom vieW immediately after dis charging the torpedo.
