$631,000 will be approved by the Sen-j
ate. It may experience difficulty in
getting the House to agree to reten
tion of the full amount, but it is be- i
lieved that a compromise can be ef-!
footed increasing tho original sum!
by not less than $200,000.
(Vhcr items included in the Army
supply bill, according to the cable
gram received from Colonel Steese,
are $140,000 for maintenance and op
eration of the government telegraph
system and $1,500,000 for a new
cable and certain Rivers and Har
bors projects. In the latter is the
Wrangell breakwater proposal.
