Washington, Mutch 8. The Congres
slonul Record tomorrow will contain u
statement made by the chairman ot the
house committee on appropriation!), Jo
Keph O. Cannon, of Illinois, relative to
the impropriations made by the Kifty-
fourth congress. .Mr. Cannon's state
ment Is In part as follows:
Tin- total appropriations or the two ses
sions of this congress uggregatu $1,013,
437.01S. 'J'lui appl epilations of the Fitt.v
thlrd congiess, which was Democratic 111
both branches, with a Democratic execu
tive, amounted, according to the olllclal
tables, to $!S9,230,205.U!i. To this sum, how
ever, should be added ?l,4'.),000 on account
of Interest anil sinking fund charges tor
bonds Issued by the Democratic udmlnls
tuitlon which weiu nut Included In the
estimates ot peimahent appropriations
submitted to congiess and stateil In the
tables, which brings tho sum total of up
proialatlons for all objects by the Flfty
thlid congress u) to $'.''.,03'.i,203.0!i, or ?W,
T'JT.Ml! less than the uppi epilations, In
cluding dellclencles, made by the present
congress.
In explanation of this apparent excess
of appioprlatlons by the Kitty-fourth con
gress over those of the Fifty-third eon
Ijress, It should ho stated that the Flfty
fourtli congress made Increases over Its
Immedluto predecessor on account of for
tllicatlons In the sum of 512,303,10"; on ac
count of river and harbor works, Includ
ing contlacts therefor, In tho sum of
fv!.47G,n'Jt: on account of the construc
tion of public buildings, none of which
were authorized by the Fifty-fourth con
cress In the sum or $2,313,394: for the
postal service In the sum of $ll,43l,",u,": for
'lie imvnl establishment In the sum of
?S.!U7,K3 and on account of permanent ap
propriations, mainly to meet interest and
sinking fund charges for the bonds is
sued by tho administration just leaving
power, $21,933,741, or a total of $G2,"i;:S,939.
REMEDIES PROPOSED.
Mr. Cannon admits that the appro
priations exceed tlr legitimate de
mands of tho public service, but this
results, he says, from conditions grow
ing out of the rules of the house, the
fo-called courtesy of the senate and
the excessive estimates submitted to
congress, The record shows that In no
instance during many years past, have
the appropriations made by congress
measured up to the full amounts rec
ommended and asked for by the admin
istration. Sir. Cannon condemns the
practice of the senate in recent years
of amending appropriation bills, not
ably the general deficiency 1)111, by In
corporating provisions to pay claims
of every kind and character outstand
ing ngalnst the government, claims
that have no status In many cases,
other than perfunctory reports from
committees, mere findings of the court
of claims and recommendations and re
quests from the bureau ollleers and
other olllcials of the government. The
remedy for this evil, he says, Is the es
tablishment of a tribunal of llnal juris
diction whither these claims may be
sent for full and Intelligent considera
tion. He joins Mr. Dockery in con
demning the present arrangement of
dividing the appropriation bills among
a number of committees.
MH, SAVER'S VIEWS.
Mr. Sayers, of Texns, another mem
ber of the committee on appropria
tions, will also make public, under a
leave to print, ,hls views respecting the
appropriations for the Fifty-fourth
congiess. He says:
I believe In the continuing contract sys
tem as applied to river and harbor im
provements and other necessary public
works, but not to the extent to which
It hna been entered upon by this con
gress. In the river and haibor act passed
at the hist session under a suspension of
the rules, without thu opportunity of dis
cussion or amendment, thirty-seven works
were authorized to lie placed under con
tractu, involving a total expenditure of
S!Vj,G10,40l, After critical examination of
these contract authorizations by the com
mittee on appropriations at this session
il litis developed that one of these works
uuhoilzed to be prosecuted under con
tract fors $1,000,000 wus so absolutely des
titute of merit that tho war department
had refused lu take any steps whatever
looking towuid the prosecution of tho
work. In another ease authority was
BlU'ii to enter Into contract for an import
ant work on the Atlantic coast to the
extent of more than $l,Snu,Ojo, for whose
prosecution a proposal lias been made and
accepted Involving leas than one-half that
sum. As to thice other Important works,
the estimated cost on -uhlcli authority
to enter Into contracts for their com
pletion was based, proved to be erroneous
and insulllclent by abuut S3 per cent. In
each case. These illustrations show that
the praotlco ot uuthoiiselug contlacts for
public work should not only be carefully
considered In the light of the condition of
the treasury, hut only after the fullest
investigation as to the real merits of
and necessities for the Inipiovenients con
templated, and only on the most cure l id
ly prepared and absolutely accurate es
timates of probable cost.
One of tho causes for the enormous
growth In uppioprlatlons of late years
has been the lnereusw of our navy. Since
that work was Inaugurated in IWtf, seventy-seven
ships of ull classes have been
constructed or authorized to be construct
ed at a cost of more than S130,ouo.oo0.
Already the number of ships authorized
would require, It is said, twice the pies
cnt number of authorized ollleers mid men
In tho navy to keep them all In commis
sion. Tho cost of their dully mainten
ance ulone is a severe draft upon our dim
inishing revenues. Home of tho most ex
pensive of these great ships arc already
classed by naval experts as obsolete, It
would have been wiser If we hud heeded
Hie udvlco urged by many In tho begin
ning of tho construction or our new nuvy
to conilno our appropriations within
lines simply sutllclent to keep puce with
the progress of modern naval architec
ture. I .a(r

the Fifth Avenue hotel. In an Inter
view today he said that he expected
that before the adjournment of the ex
tra session of congress that legislation
would be enacted levying a tariff sulli
clent to meet the expenditure of the
government. He declared that the
house could pass a tariff bill in two
weeks, but he said that its passage
would no doubt be delayed In the sen
ate and, therefore, the extra session
would not come to an end before July 1.
He predicted better times as a re
sult of the enactment of the new tariff
bill. He was In favor, he said, of a
very high tariff on luxuries. Mr. Grow
characterized Mr. Cleveland's foreign
policy ns Infamous and especially crit
icised his policy with regard to Hawaii
and Spain. He refused to express him
self with regard to the distribution of
patronage or Senator Quay's recent
visit to the white house.

A PECULIAR PURCHASE TO WE WAS' THIS
You will judge, perhaps, on first thought, but when you know the price
you'll not be surprised. Twelve years iigo thess Spanish Scarfs were in great
demand and were worn extensively as a neck and shoulder ornament. And
they are good today, as many of our friends who have already bought them tell
us for head-gear, if you are going out in the evening, or you can take one of the
wide, extra long ones, and make a waist or bodice over a covered ground.
This lot we have are strictly all silk, and many of them are big enough
for a shawl. . The actual value is from $1.50 to $4.50 each.
