WASHINGTON , Fob. 25 A long and somewhat exciting debate over the question of river and harbor appropriations was pre cipitated In the house today during the con sideration of the sundry civil aproprlatlon bill. U was practically agreed by all those who participated that there would be bo no river ci d harbor hill at th'fi ' session ot con gress , and this led Mr. Moody ( rep , Mass ) to attack the contract Items carried In the sundry civil bill. Ho selected no appropria tion of $15,000 for Hockland , Mo. , and his remarks In denunciation of what he termed favoritism approached the sensational. Mr. Dlngloy denied that ho ever suggested the appropriation to the committee on ap propriations , or to any member of the com- tnlllcc. It was Intimated that there was a plan to defeat all the provisions of the bill , so as to force the river nnd harbor bill , but this was not berne out by the vote on the amend ment on which the debate rested. Mr. Uerry ( dem , Ky. ) succeeded In se curing Iho adoption of an amendment In creasing the appropriation for the Kentucky river from $150,000 to $350,000. Only four pages ot the bill were disposed of today. The senate amendments to the army ap propriation bill were agreed to without de- bale Quite a dpbato developed on a motion to strlko out the appropriation of $133,000 for work at Oakland , Cal. , Its opponents alleging that no contr.iPt had jet been made for the work and assorting that a river and harbor bill was to be suppressed and n favored few- given appropriations In the sundry civil bill. ATTACKS MU. DING LEY. Mr. Moore ( rep. , Mass ) made a sensational attack upon a provision In the sundry bill of $100,000 for Rockland , Me. , harbor , which Is In Mr nlngle > 's district. He nattl ho was willIng - Ing to submit lo economy and to high lead ership , hut for one ho lebelled against the leadership ihal gave an appropriation to Uockland , Me , an Insignificant poit tha * could bo burled In Boston haiTior. Mr Grcsvenor ( rep , O ) , attacked the np- pioprlallon and declared if the house al lowed Iheso river and bailer ilcms lo go Into the sundry civil bill there would/be no river and harbor bill Ho was amazed , he said , at the action of the appropriations com mittee , and Insisted that all the members should bo on an equality. Mr Cannon replied to the attack , declar ing that eomo of the most vicious river and harbor Items ever reported came from the commltloe when ho ( Gosvenor ) was a mem ber of It. Ho said that from 23 to 3T per cent of the money appropriated by a bill he helped to report had been worse than thrown aw ay. Mr. Dlngloy answered the personal attack made upon him. Tha Rockland Improvement ho said was not simply an Improvement. It Included provision for a brcalcwater and a harbor of refuge Just such another as was being built at Sandy Hay In Mr. Moodi's dis trict , and on whlcn $30,000 had been spent. Ho Indignantly icpudlated the Intimation that he had over suggested or Intimated that this appropriation should be made In this bill. Ho presumed It had been made on the recommendations of the corps of engineers , In the public Interest. Mr. Catchlngs ( dem , Mies ) , defended the action of the appropriations commltlee. The Oakland harbor appropriallon re mained In the bill by a vote of IIS to 1C When Ihe Hem appropilatlng $400,000 for San Pedro , Cal. , was reached Ihere waa some debate , In the course of which Mr. Cooper ( rep , WIs ) review c-J the whole history ot the ptotracled contest between San I'edro and Santa Monica , characterizing it as Iho most astounding cl apter In our legislative hiitoiy.

There was an Informal discussion of the necessity of these two additional regiments to man the coast defenses of the country , and some gen eral opposition was expressed by Mr. Cox to Increasing the army. He contended that In the event of war the volunteers could man these guns Ho also expressed the opinion that reporting this bill , which has been be fore congress for several years , at this particular time might bo misunderstood by the country. Ho thought It might be con strued as a direct action by congress In preparation for war. On the other hand It was contended by these who declared that they did not 'believe ' that war was Imminent that refusal to report the bill might also bo misconstrued.

Chairman Mott pre sided nnd dcvotknal cxcrcbca were con ducted by Bishop Hargrcavo of Nashville , Tenn. , end president ot the Epworth league board of the MolhodUt Episcopal Church South. The first speaker was Bishop Nlndo of Detroit. Ho said the present tendency was to decry the money making spirit In men Instead he would have such a talent encouraged and , rightly guided , It may prove a great power to reclaim the world. Btahop Nlndo mid If the statistics of the wealth In the hands of profecsed Chrlstltiis were known they would startle the world. Most of the wealth of the world Is In the hands of Christians. Referring to the small gifts of the sclf-snerlflclng people , the speaker said : "Many of the charitable works ot this country are can led on by associated pov erty. " Rev. A. F. Schaufllor , D. D. , vice president of the New York City Missionary Tract so ciety , was the next speaker. The who in in says "Money nnswcrcth all things. " Thla Is true. Money Is a won drous fling. In a true sense money Is jour- self stored up for tuturc use. A boy earns $10 per week ; when ho Is paid nna suits the money In his pocket ho poekets a week's worlh of himself.

It was almost stopped and was heading northeast. It had four masts and two fun nels. Regulation lights were burning , hut no signals were displayed. Mr. Bocaude , the Now York agent of the French line , said the description of the sloamor sighted by Captain Nlnnes fitted that of the La Champagne precisely , Ho was ot the opinion from the fact that no signal for afcfilstanco was shown , that whatever breakdown was sustained by It , was not ot a serious character , possibly ono ot the cylinders had broken , necessitating slow speed , Mr , Docando explained that the on- glnea of La Champagne- , which is a slnglo screw steamer , were triple expansion , with three cylinders working on the same shaft , BO if even two cylinders gave out there would still be ono to drive tbo vessel along.

After the miihleal demonstration subsides to the ordinary nightly iiolsr-8 the house becomes perfectly quiet , and then without waining there Is a bombaidmont that seems at times as If the house would fall about the listeners' cars.
