Appropriation Measure Carrying
Over Forty Millions Adopted by
Upper House by Margin
Of Three Votes.
THIRTY.FIvE TO THIRTY-TW0
It Will Now GO to a Conference
of the Two Branches
of Congress.
KENYON SAYS IT IS THE LAST


Washington, May 29.-Thc senate
passed today the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill carrying about $43,.
100000 by a vote OF IS to 81, after
adding many amendments.
The bill will now 80 to a confer
ence of the two houses The fight
against it, begun by Senator Kenyon,
Iowa, and Senator Sherman Of llli-
nois, gained strength until final ef-
fort to displaee it with a substitute
appropriating lump sum of'$30000,.
300 was defeated by only one vote.
Senator's Ashurst, Gore, Hollis,
Husting, Lane, Newlands, Pittman,
Pomerene, Jaggart, Thomas and
Thompson, all democrats, voted with
the republicans to send the bill back
TO the committee.
Just before the final vote was taken
Senator Kenyon predicted it would be
the last Of its kind 10 pass all Amcri-
can congress.
you arc voting at least $20000,00O
into this bill that is absolutely unjus-
fihable," said Senator Kenyon. you
are dumping thousands OF dollars into
streams where commerce IS rapidly
disappearing and into streams with
less than foot of water in them.
You have had an opportunity TO
correct some OF these abuses, but you
would not. Your motto IL let the
people squeal' | have done my best
and / want to say that if the price Of
holding my scat in the senate is to
vote for bills Of this kind the seat may
20. Some day a congress will be
here which will not consider that the
greatest Statesman is the man who
.an get the greatest amount OF money
out Of the federal treasury.
at is a pity that the whole blame
Tor this extravaganza must rest upon
III. democratic party, because the bill
never could be passed without repub-
lican votes.
THE people are awakening to the
;act that votes arc cast in congress
very largely in order that reciprocity
may follow fawning. We have lost
the fight here, but it is not ended. We
appeal now from congress drunk with
extravaganza to a people sober, medl-
tative and very discriminatory"
Shortly before the bill was placed
upon its final passage the Newlands
amendment to create national water
ways commission, which should be
accepted, was stricken from the bill
on a renewed point of order made by
Senator Gallinger Of New Hampshire.
Senator Kcnyon's motion to sub
stitute for the bill resolution au-
thorizing an appropriation OF $25,-
100000 for continuing work on all ex-
isting projects, the distribution to be
left to the army engineers and the
secretary of war, was defeated, 81 to
23 Democrats who voted for the sub
stitute were: Ashurst, Gore, Husting,
Lane, Pomerene, Shafroth, Taggart,
Thomas, Thompson and Tilman.

egram. Representative Lobeck took
up with Secretary Baker today, and
requested from Adjutant General
