f Thursday's vote was IW>, 74. 17, 7. etc.
* m in all and 110 necessary to an elec
tion. Three members of the Honse and
two newspaper men were ready to testi
fy before the bribery committee but
were refused a hearing by the Quay
members. Sibley was ill at his hotel;
the Magee jury bill was laid aside; Quay
and Gov. Htone called npon Sibley and
then Quay went to Washington.
On Friday Gov. Htono tendered the
vacant Supreme Judgeship to D. T.
Watson of Pittsburg, Democrat.
Friday was a great day in the House,
Gen. Koontz's determination to appeal to
the House regarding the actions of the
Bribery Investigating committee in re
fusing to hear evidence caused tbe
(jtuy men to resort to filibustering and
gag rule. Speaker Farr adjourned the
House at 11 A M against the will of
the majority present; a rjw followed,
Farr left his seat and Ward Bliss was
selected to take his place, and a com
mittee appointed to see what can be
done with Farr. After railing the
House to order at 11:50 Farr again left
his seat, and was followed to the door
and cursed and hissed
At noon both houses assembled to
vote for Senator, and Quay lost three
votes- two from Phil'a and OIJP from
Lackawanna. The vote stood Quay 04,
Jcnks 55,-Dalzell 18. Stewart 7, Huff 8,
etc., 168 in all and Quay 18 short. The
three men gave their reasons for chang
ing their votes, and were cheered by
the Independents.
At Monday evening's session Gen.
Koontz introduced his resolution en
larging the investigating committee by
four members, and made a rattling
speech in support of it.
Chairman Kreps, of the Investigating
i Committee, undertook to defend the
course of the majority who tried to de
lay the examination. He claimed that
Gen. Koontz refnsed to go on at the
meeting on Friday. This provoked tlie
General to say;
"1 will tell the truth. The Chairman
of that Committee came to me with
trembling hands and said: 'See, I am
sick. Won't von wait.'and then Mr.
Voohees pleaded the illness of his wife."
This was more than the Quayites
could stand, and Frank McClain. of
Lancaster, came to their rescue, and in
a very politic speech hoped the discus
sion would cease and that no Assembly
man wonld stand in the way of a free
and open investigation. The substance
of the resolution offered by Gen. Koontz
and passed was that a majority refused
to hear the testimony. He proponed j
that Messrs Dixon, Fow, Rendell and
Young Is- added.
Kreps, in an indiscreet amendment,
moved that the committee be discharg
ed and the House !*• named as a com
mittee of the whole to prosecute tae in
vestigation. He declared he presented
bis amendment in g'xsi faith and not
as a joke <ien Koontz then proceeded
to pulverize Kreps
Mr Koontz's resolution calls for the
appointment of four additional mem
bers of the committee to investigate the
charges of bribery in connection with
the passage of the McCarrell jury bill
in the House The resolution, recite
that on February 34, JW, Messrs
Krejmof Franklin, Koontz of Somerset,
Voorhees of Philadelphia, Tighe of Lu
zerne and Skinner of Fulton, were "ap
pointed a committee to Investigate cer
tain newspaper charges and rumore (<f
ali*ged bribery or attempted bribery of
members of the House; that the Com
mittee organized March 1 by the ap
pointment of Mr. Kreps Chairman ami
Mr. Voorhees Secretary, and agaeed to
meet on March 2 to hear testimony:
that the committee issued a subpoena
to the Sergeant at-Arias to summon five
witnesses to appear before the commit
tee and that they were present ami
ready to testify.
The resolutions further recite that a
majority of the said committee refused
to hear the testimony of said witnesses
and by resolutions, adopted by a major
ity of tbe committee against the pro
test of the minority, refused to preform
the duty imposed upon it by the House
and decided that it wonld not act as an
investigation committee, but as a judi
cial body; that it wonld not inquire into
or investigate the charges and rumors
set forth in the resolution under which
the committee was appointed,and would
only try persons who might lie specifi
cally accused aud would only act upon
such accusations when both the accused
and accuser were present, thereby ren
dering the investigation impossible
The resolution provides that Messers.
Robert K. Young, of Tioga . Randall, of
Chester (Reps.) Dixon, of Elk, and Fow,
of Philadelphia <Dems.)"are hereby ap
pointed additional members of the com
mittee, with instructions to proceed to
hear such testimony as may be offered
pursuant to said resolutions."
Gen. Koontz, speaking ot his resolu
tion, referred to the speeches of Kreps
and Voorhees on the floor of the House.
Kreps denounced tbe anti-Qnayites as a
gang of cut throats and declared they
had filled the Academy of Music in Phil
adelphia by an appeal to the galleries.
Voorhees had spoken of committees as
whitewashing, Kreps objected that the
' General was telling matters that hap
penen in committee
The resolution was passed, the Quay
people were denonnced and rumors of
Quays withdrawal in favor of Col. Huff
of Greensburg were current, but John
Dalzell was the most talked about.
During the day the proceedings in the
legislative record recounting what oc
curred at the session on Friday after
Speaker Farr adjourned the Honse were
reinoved.it is said from tbe files of mem
bers by order of the Sergeant-at-Arms.
A rumpus was kicked up that
evening and the members were surpris
ed to find this portion of the record re
stored on their desks.
Threats were made-to remove theSer
geant-at-Arms He will hardly escape
a rebuke. Of course all this did not oc
cur without a struggle and an exciting
debate, the like of which probably ha
not been equaled in the House for
years.
Speaker Farr was very humble, will
ing to be good if the opposition would
forgive him For the present he was
not disturbed.
If this were not enough for one night,
Captain Hanson moved to discharge the
Public Buildings Committee from fui
ther consideration of his capital bill. It
was done.
Saturday's vote was light, and Quay
had 18 and Jenks 9, and Monday's was
still lighter, bnt 19 in all.
Tuesday's ballot was 101, 77, 17, 8, 8,
f>, etc., 231 in all and Quay 1"# short
That evening, at a meeting of the
majority of the members of the House
resolutions condemming the actions of
Sjieaker Farr were adopted, but as Mr.
Farr was very meek and promised to be
go»d, he was not deposed. Some bills
were passed on third reading, and
among them one increasing the mini
mum school-term to seven months.
Tlic Bribery Committee.
The new Bribery Committee inei
that evening and listened to some sen
sational evidence.
Two members of tne House, Repre
sentees John Engler, of Lycoming,
and Peter S. Criste, of Milton, testified
that they had been offered money to
vote for McCarrell bill and again to
make the motion to reconsider the vote
by which it was postponed to March 21.
All the members of the committee
were on hand except Michael J. Tighe,
who complained of being ill. The
would-be bribers were ex Senator John
•J. (»ylu of Schuylkill; Michael J.
Costello and ex Representative Thomas
Moyles, of Luzerne. At the conclusion
of the hearing Representative Voorhees
made an offer that the accused be al
lowed to appear, represented by counsel.
Chairman Fow ruled that tbe committee
was not a trial court, and the produc
tion of the accused would impugn the
integrity of members of the House who
had sworn under oath.
It was nip and tuck between the fac
tions. The Judiciary General Commit
tee room was crowded with members
and visitors. Tho committee adjourned
to meet next evening to hear Rcpresen
tative Smith. Chairman Kreps resigned,
first, because he thought the new mem
bers should have a voice in the selec
tion of a Chairman, and second, l>e
cause his health is bad . and, as certain
questions m*y n»iw, !,ii'.yjiich his deci
sion might not give satisfaction, he
would retire. His statement was final.
The other members protested, but
Kreps was determined his resignation
should bo accepted. 'John Fow wa <
then elected Chairman. Mr- Dixon
next moved that the rules adopted by
the former committee should l<e abol
inhed. It was carried. Oeorge McCain
was the first witness called. Chair
man Fow was jpft-rrogator in
chief.
McC'atn had heard rumors of corrupt
solicitation in connection with the re
consideration of the McCarrell bill.
Representative Crinte, of Northuinber
land, was one of the memls-rs he had
interviewed.
On February 15 Mr. t'riste said he
was invited into the corridor by a cer
tain man who said to him it was worth
SI,OOO to him if he would move to re
consider tUo vote to postpone. The
man said: "You can give H* yuuf ex
ense that it is done for an old friend,
an ex member of the House, who is un
der indictment."
Later Mr. Criste admitted that the
would be teuiptev warn ex-Representa
tive Thomas Moyles, a Wslk*nbarre
book agent. Moyles said later that it
would help him in his case. He is nn
der indictment for conspiracy in con
iiectioii with a School Hoard matter.
Crist'- asked Moyles to write out for
him what he wanted him U, say in
making the motion He was prepai
ing to do this when the last day for re
consideration passed. There was no
of cash no far as McCain knew.
John I* Dwyer <vaH the next witness.
He is a newspaper uttm. ll>, Identified
an article npon brils-ry that he had
written. Representative John Engler,
of Lycoming, was another man ap
proached, he £»id A man told Dwyer of
the efforts to corrupt -tout. J->igler He
went to Engler and asked him "bout it
Engler SV»IB loath to tulk, but finally
eon ;nled if hij» niiu.f. ',V""'d not Is- us
ed. Engler nilid that Mltbfl'-'l •' '
telloasked him to go to ili'.' l/ochlel
Hotel. Engler went aud was intiuflo'"
'ed to ex-Senator John J. Coyle, of
: Schuylkill.
Coyle said he understood Engler wa.«
a Catholic and that Archbishop Ryan
was interested in the passage of the Mc-
Carrel bill. Coyle said if he would
move to reconsider he would give hiiu
SSOO, and he made a motion to take the
money out of his vest pocket. He offer
ed 1200, and the other *BOO would be
I paid later. Coyle said he was in the
habit of doing such things when in the
Legislature and he would let him in on
other bills. In that way he could make
more money than his salary.
This caused a general laugh. A few
' davs afterward Costello went to Engler s
i home in Lycoming, driving into the
| country in a sleigh. He again offered
Engler SSOO to make the motion, but
Engler refused. Costello then departed,
j saying he was going to see Representa
tive Osier. Engler's family was pre
| ent when Costello called. The latter
I took Engler aside, remarking that he
j had something private to say to him.
! Nobody was present at the meeting so
! far as the witness knew. He learned
where Costello hired the sleigh. It was
from Askew's livery.
Representative Voorhees asked if
Dwyer had not talked to Costello and
suggested how he could make a bunch
of money To this Dyer replied that
Costello and he had met. Dwyer re
marked that he knew all aliout this visit
to Engler. and some arrests would like
ly l>e made Costello said: "My God.
lam not to be arrested." Costello then
said he would like to see Senator Coch
ran. He said he was close to the Quay
people and could tell him of a move
ment they intended to make.
Representative Engler was the third
witness. Costello met him at the Bol
ton Hotel with the remark "Yon are
the man lam looking for." He went
to the Lochiel on Costello s invitation,
and was introduced to ex-Senator Coyle.
He had never seen Coyle before. Coyle
asked hirn what he thought of the Ms-
Carre) 1 bill. Enger answered that the
bill was not so bad, but the circum
stances were not favorable to its pas
sage. T ,
"Ah. well' 'Coyle replied, "I used to
be around the legislature, and I took
everything that came along " He men
tioned other men and added: "See.
these fellows have money, and are now
at the top of the heap Coyle offered
him S2OO to vote to reconsider the bill
and put his hand in his pocket. He
said there would be five or six mor;
bills that he could make money on. He
added that Archbishop Ryran wanted
the bill for the benefit of laboring men.
"Costello afterward called at his
! house anil said he was authorized to of
fer him >-.>« to make the motion to re
consider. Costello said the Society of
Philadelphia was raising the money
Engler declined to do it. Costello did
not tender him the $5<K). Costello was
at his home on Snnday of the great
storm. Kreps asked if Coyle pulled
anything out of his pocket. He did not
but he was under the impression that
Coyle intended to hand him the money.
John Fow created a laugh by saying:
"Coyle was never known to take any
thing out of his pocket."
Representative Peter J. Criste was
the next witness. Thomas Movies
came to him on the day the McCarrel
bill was postponed. Moylea invited
him out to smoke. Moyles asked him
what he thought of the McCarrel bill.
(;ontinuing Christe said:
"Moyles told me Senator Coyle had
been talking to him about me and Coyle
said. 'Criste is all right ' Moyles said
if I voted for the bill there was three in
it for me What he meant by three I
do not know. I then returned to the
House and voted against the McCarrell
bill.
"Later Moyles came to me and said
he was under indictment and wanted
the bill passed to help bjm While we
were talking, Senator Coyle came up
and leaned between us Coyle said
'Yon vote for the bill and leave the
rest to me.' Afterward Movies called
me out of the House and told me if I
wonld make the motion to reconsider
there wonld be ft 1,000 in it for me. He
said I could explain that 1 did it for a
friend under indictment.
He talked so much that I told him to
write it out. When I voted against the
hill Coyle came to me and said I was
foolish. "Those f' llows over there are
well taken care 'if,' he said, pointing in
the direction of the insurgents."
This produced great laughter in the
crowd. Since the corrupt offer was
made he saw Moyles at his boarding
house, but Moyles did not speak.
Yesterday's vote was 105, 81. 17, '■>. 8,
5. ect, 242 in all and Quay 17 short.
When the name of ('apt. Bare, ,<f
Huntingdon, was called, that gentle
men arose and said "I think it is
about time this farce, that has gone on
for some time, should be etopjied. I
think we should get together and elect
a Republican. Today I will vote for
M. S Quay." Bare served notice on
the Quayites that he wonld not supi»ort
Quay after today. He paid it. is time
tnat the old man should get out of the
fight and let the Republicans ehoo
a man who could be elected.
Fate seems to have ordained that
Frank Leech and "Bill" Andrew will
have to go to work. For years they have
lived by engineering the Quay machine
When Senator Flinn started into the
present revolution he met Andrews and
Leech at the Capitol, and Andrews
asked Flinn why lie was going out of
his way to fight the "old man."
"I am determined to put you and
Leech to work," answered Minn, and
from that day until today Flinn says
the only two things involved are to put
Quay out of the Senate and make An
drews and Leech go to work
The Quayites no longer boast that
they will tnrn the senatorial trick next
week. Their only statement now is
that thty will deadlock the Legislature
and Stone will appoint Quay, No one
seriously believe* that Quay will be ad
mitted as a member of the Senate, but
there is no one who will dispute the
statement that Wtonw will appoint him
if Quay wants to be appointed.

mittee that night, right, from the
mouths of members came iucrimina

WASHINGTON.
On Thursday the House refused by a
vote of 77 to 140 to consider the re
port unseating certain Congressmen for
accepting commissions in the army, a
hilf-million dollars was appropriated
for the Buffalo Expo.; the armor-plate
bill was in conference committee.
When the Senate convened at 11
o'clock Friday morning it faced the
task of considering two of the great ap
propriation bills, those for the army
and for supplying the general defici
encies. The former carries appropria
tions exceeding $*0,000,000. and the
latter about #20,000,000. With a de
termination to complete the appropria
tion bills, the Senate began immediate
ly at 11 o'clock in the morning to con
sider these measures, and at 8 o'clock
that night the army bill was passed, the
deficiency bill having been passed near
ly three hoars before. A partial report
on the sundry civil appropriation bill
was agreed to. but the inability of the
Senate conferees to secure an agree
ment on the Hawaiian cable proposition
created a heated discussion, in the
course of which Speaker Reed was al
luded to in uncomplimentary terms.
The Toledo exposition bill carrying an
appropriation of $500,000 was passed
without debate. At 3a. m. the Senate
re-committed the river and harbor bill
to the conference committee.
The refusal of the House conferees to
yield on the Hawaiian cable was dis
cussed at length. Mr. Bntler (North
Carolina) spoke in support of the Senate
conferees and was followed by Mr.
Chandler, who expressed the hope that
the Senate conferees would adhere to
the Senate's proposition, even if an
extra session were thereby forced.
"There are some things, he said,
"worse than an extra session of Con-
At times the House was like Bedlam,
on Friday, pound as the Speaker wonld
with his gravel it was almost impossible
to preserve order, and to the casual
visitor in the gallery the proceedings on
the floor rnnst have been about as in
telligible as an exciting day in the
wheat pit wonld be to a parish priest.
The noise and confusion on the floor,
punctuated with the constant banging
of the Speaker's gavel or back grounded
with the droning voice of the clerk;
irate members facing each other and
talking at the rarae time, pages scurry
ing up and down the aisles all this was
utterly distracting. But the people in
the galleries stayed on and there were a
dozen persons in line in the corridors
waiting for every vacant seat, so great
is the attraction of a dying Congress.
The big questions in dispute between
the two Houses being naturally the last
to be adjusted were postponed far into
the night. From time to time short
recesses were taken. These were simply
breathing spells, however, and soon the
leaders were at it again harder than
During the day the President nomi
nated and the Senate confirmed George
Dewey, for Admiral of the Navy.
Hiul of tin; otfth Congress.
Saturday morning dawned with the
Senate in executive session disposing of
a large number of nominations. When
the doors were opened to the public
there were seen but a handful of tired
and haggered looking senators who
were waiting for the final reports from
the cqnferrees 011 this two bills yet in
dispute. Finally Mr. Hale appeared
with both. The deficieucv bill was
quickly passed and then came the final
and closing fight on the naval bill and
the price of armor plate and for an
armor plate factory. This was finally
over and the weary senators took a
short recess.
Upon reassembling the senate took
nn a new appearance. The chamber
hail 1 >«•*• n cleaned np and the Hen a torn
came back to the clotting meeting with
a more spruce appearance. Home few
attempts at legislation were made, but
all were unsuccessful.
Then the galleries filled with gaily
dressed visitors who wtre there to see
the final ceremonies They were not
long permitted to enjoy themselves as
an executive session drove them into
the corridors where they patiently
waited for the doors to be opened.
When this was done only five minutes
regained of the congress, bnt the hands
of the clock were turned hack ten
minutes to give time for the usual com
plimentary resolution and the address
of the Vice President.
President McKinley and hiH entire
cabinet had come to the capitol ami
were in t Vk- President's room back of
the HI -nte chamber, where the various
biiin were hurried for signaturon. Kin
ally tin; last big appropriation bill had
received the President's approval and
everything wan it.ady for thii ciose.
The resolution thanking Vice IVmidont,
Hobart and President Pro Tem. Frye
were adopted, the Viet) president re

siffing through the ground glass cell

morning Outside n fine vlrizzllng mist
was falling, completely shrouding the
top of the dome and glueing the wet
half masted tings over the two
to their staff < The red eyed members
at listlessly in their seats and the few
persons in the galleries slumbered ponce
fully .
About 7 o'clock Mr Henderson arons
the house by an ol&ctiio speech tt WHS
one f.t the most eloquent of this cs.n
gross The nnrronndings ndded lin
presslvene 'M to his utterances The dis
beveled members and the wreckage of
tbe night wore about him It was on
the onrstton of s-omtinii institutions in
the District of Columbia, provlsloh for
which had been stricken out of the dis
trict appropriation bill by the bill.
W'th force and pathos he denounced the
bigotry of the conferred, who. he said,
were willing at the behest of a secret
organization, which did its work in the
dark, to turn the homeless and friend
less into the streets. The scene was
dramatic in the extreme when Mr.
Henderson recalled the dark days of the
war when the white-capped Sisters of
Mercey were ministering on the battle
field to the stricken and dying soldiers.
, With the advent of the day the house
; began again to take on the appearance
;of life. Members went l>elow for baths
and breakfast and returned refreshed
to their stations. As early at 7:30 the
people began to pour into the galleries,
the first party to arrive l>eing a dozen
ladies who took their places in the pub
lic galleries. The important business of
the house had been virtually completed
when the houre recessed for an hour at
9:30. All that remained was the en
rollment of bills and the final ceremo
nies.
At 10:30 when the house reconvened,
the galleries were again packed to the
doors and the hall buzzed with the con
fused murmur of myriads of voices.
An American flag had l»een lowered
from the press gallery above the speak
er's chair.
The closing scenes in the house were
of more than nsual interest. After all
the bills had been passed there follow
ed the usual resolutions. That offered
by Mr. Bailey, thanking Sjieaker Reed
and the remarks of the minority leader
were of a character to lend a dramatic
turn to the proceedings. The action of
the house and the speaker's reply
aroused the house and spectators to en
thusiasm. After adjournment mem
bers and visitors joined in singing pa
triotic airs.
Pittsburg fared pretty well in the
way of appropriations by the congress
just closed, due to the efforts of Rep
Dalzell
The three rivers Allegheny, Monon
gahela and Ohio—secured oyer $2,500,-
000, as follows: Pittsburg harbor,
$110,602.00; Monongahela river. $185,-
556; Allegheny river, $15,000; Ohio riv
er, $2,085,000. Of course the amount
approoriated for the latter stream will
not all be used at Pittsburg, but every
dollar spent will result beneficially to
the interests of the city. The appropri
ation for Erie harbor is $125,000. This
also adds to the business of Pittsburg.
Botii the senate and house agreed to
all the appropriation bills. At 10;80 A.
M., each resumed sessions after a re
cess. The necessary business in the
way of messages between the houses
and the signing of enrolled bills was
then taken up. The Pacific cable
amendment failed.
In the naval appropriation bill the
house won all its amendments for in
crease of the navy and the senate
amendment-reducing the price of armor
plate to S3OO preyailed. The senate
amendment for an armor plate factory
was eliminated from the bill.
The Congress just adjourned appro
priated in all $1,566,890. The cost of the
war was $482,362,085.
On Saturday the President nominated

Merriam of Minnesota to be Director of
the Census of 1900 at $6,000 a year, and
Congress aypropriated a million for him
to start on.

(From Sunday's Dispatch.)
In return for his efforts to throw
Democratic votes to Mr Quay at Har
ris'iurg ,!o-eph Sibley has been recogn:z
e 1 a-i the arbiter of patronage in Venan
go county. This will probably lie de
nied by Quay an 1 his friends, but the
allegations are borne out by the follow
ing long distance telephone message:
"McKim's confirmation cannot be
made without Sibley s permission."
This declaration was made last Thurs
day by Colonel, now ex-Senator, Quay,
in response to a telephonic plea from a
Venango county man, as quoted by the
latter, that William M. McKim be con
firmed as Postmaster at Oil City. The
contest over this Postinastership, and
the part it played in the defeat of
Charles W. Stone in the Twenty-seventh
district, is familiar history in that lo
cality,but it is now of State and nation
al significance. The deal by which Mr.
Sibley defeated Mr. Stone is now known
and is proven by the failure of the
Pennsylvania Senators to have Post
master McKim's nomination confirmed.
John R. Robertson, Chairman of the
Venango Connty Republican Commit
tee, and ex-Representatiye Fred W.
Hays, of Oil City, have been in Wash
ington for several days past endeavoring
to secure the confirmation of McKim;
but when Congress died yesterday with
out action their indignation reached the
boiling point. They were convinced
when they came here that Senator
Quay had entered into an understand
ing with Mr. Sibley, and that for ser
vices to be rendered by the latter in the
Senatorial contest at Ilarrisburg, Mr.
Quay was to prevent Mr. McKim being
confirmed as the Oil City Postmaster, a
consummation devoutjy wished by W.
H. Longwell, who had been a contest
ant for the office, and in revenge for de
feat, it is alleged, had done active work
for Sibley in the Congressional fight.
Senator Penrose is the Pennsylvania
member of the Committee on Postoffices
and Post Roads, which has to do with
the nominations of Postmasters. Be
fore he was thoroughly advised of all
of Quay's deals in Mr Stone's district
he had promised Mr. Stone and Chair
man Robertson that Mr. McKim would
be confirmed. This promise was made
as absolutely as possible.

Under the "leave to print" granted to
members of the House Committee ou
Appropriations in the last hours of
Congress, the Congressional Record of
next day contained the following state
ment from the Hon. J. G. Cannon of
Illinois. Chairman of the committee. It
is the first complete and authentic
showing of the appropriations made by
the Fifty fifth Congress, and it reveals
the fact that the total is not so great as
has been reported in previous partial
statements made on the floor of the
House and the public press. Mr. Can
non says:
"The appropriations made at the
session of Congress just closed amount,
approximately, to *073,848,400, and
show an apparent reduction of $319,-
578.1 MM) under the appropriations made
at the preceding session. This is attrib
utable to the large expenses occasioned
by the war with Spain that were pro
vided for during the preceding session.
"The entire appropriations made by
the Fifty-fifth Congress aggregate *t,-
ii00,H1M),010.38. Of this sum
083.47 is directly chargeable to our late
war with Spain, or irindcut Uiw«u>.
l)<*<lu<*tinK tn?" f. 777. tV»V,nliuh,
amount of the appropriations, the re
mainder. $1,084,837,033.81, represents
the ordinary or normal appropriations
made l>y the Fifty-fifth Congress.
"The appropriations made by the pre
ceding Congress, the Fifty fourth,
amounted to *1,014,-'>59.378.87. A com
parison shows an increase in ordinary
appropriations made by this Congress
over those made by that Congress, the
Fifty-fourth, of *150,747,000, but this
apparent increase is more than account
ed for by increases under eight items
alone, namely, for pensions, *4,(MM),000;
for the postal service, *10,0(10,000; for
rivers and harbors, including work un
der contracts previously authorized. $3,

buildings, including the building for

and partial construction of the new
Government printing oflice. about *•">.

public expenditures, on account of the
pension list, the growth of the postal

commerce, toe Improvement of the
great waterways or the country, and
for increase of the navy, the construc
tion of needed buildings to accommo
date the Government service in the
cities of the country, the taking of the
census, the participation of the Nation
in the great exposition to be held at
Paris next year, and the payment of th"
Trench spoliation judgments anil Bow

and pressed upon Congress, aggregate
$3U, 01X1,000 more than dissipating the
entire apparent increase in the ordinary
appropriations by this Congress over
those made bp the I' ifty fourth ( on
gross.
"In addition to the first approprm
lions made at this session, contracts
wer«i authorised, subject to future up
propriations to be made by Congress
amounting to a *7O,(MM.(MM.. of
this amount *41.000,000 is Tor additional
sinp-i for the navy. *33,?>00, j is for
