CONGRESSIONAL More River Approprirtaions. Congress Does the Handsome Thing for the JVIississippi, Washington, May 12. Considera tion of the senate auicndmonts to the sundry civil appropriation bill was finished by the house and the bill sent to conference. President Cleveland's forest reserva tion order was subject to much de bate and the house voted not to con cur in the benatc amendmont to annul the order, with the understand ing that the conferees should have the same eUcct. C.innon oilered an amendment to make available $2,503,32:1 for the Im provement of the Mississippi river for the fbcal year of 1897-8, of which $500, 000 should be deducted from the p proprlatlon of 189S-9. The effect of the amendment was to expend half a million a year before it could' other wise bo available, and It wa agreed to. Lewis, of Washington, made a plea for the senate amendment for 510,000 fora survey of the Improvements pro posed ft 0111 Salmon bay to Smith's cove, explaining that warships might bo anchored in Lakes Union aud Washington when the project was completed. The house voted to non concur. The most Interesting debato was on the appropriation of $30,000 to im prove Pearl harbor, In the Hawaii is lands, which was rejected by a vote of 85 to 53. IN THE SENATE. Mantle, of Montana, introduced in the senate two amendments to the wool schedule) of the tuilff bill, - liu explained that one represented?- the Views of the Natioual Wool-growers' association, while the other had been agreed to by a number of senators on the Republican side, . The amend ments weie refetied to the finance committee. Gear, of Iowa, chairman of the Pad lie roads committed, said he would notptess his; motion to proceed with the Pacltlo railroad bill, bUt would urge it Thursday. The Morgan Cuban resolution was taken up as soon as' routine business was out of the way. Morrill, of Ver mont, spoke In opposition. The sena tor said the purpose4of all Cuban reso lutions, including that of Morgan, was to wrest from the executive the right he alone hitherto had exercised of recognizing the bellgerent rights or Independence of nations. Morrill de clared congress had no such power and It would be contrary to all prece dents. Beligcrent rights of royolters should not huvo recognition based merely on sympathy, It must be based on justice and law. Senator Foraker, speaking on the resolution and favoring its reference to the committee on foreign relations, said be khew the administration had its policy on this question. Allispn asked, what the policy of the adminls taatlon was. Foraker replied that It was to ascertain beyond preadventuro the exact situation In Cuba. It had sent an authorized' and accredited agent there to Investigate the condit ion end report. The house continued the legislative day g yesterday and gtook- up the subject of forest reservations again. Underwood, Democrat of Alabama, spoko briefly and was fdllowed by Ellis, Republican, of Oregon.
