SPENT BY CONGRESS. njtn as flhom by Statement Pre pared hy Mr. Allison, ef Senate Coin m It tee, and by Mr. Cannon, of Bonn Coinnilttee, Washington, (Bpeolsl.) -A carefully pre pared statement on the appropriations of tbe session was mad by Senator Allison, cbalr man of tbt Senate Committee on Appropria tions, and Chairman Cannon, of the House Committee on Appropriation!, In accordance With custom. The statement says; "The appropriations made by the first ses alon of the Fifty-sixth Congress amount to 705,729,478. This turn Inoludes ( 131,247, 15S eetl mated to be on account of or Incident to the late war with Spain, and deduotlng It tbe remaining amount ( 78.4R3,821 repre aentii tbe ordinary appropriation made for the support of the government during thin "It will be obierTed that, after deducting the amounts estimated to bare been appro priated on account of or Incident to the war with Spain, for tbe ensuing, tbe current and tbe last fiscal years (which cover the period elooe tbe beginning of tbe Spanish war), tbe appropriations for tbelflv fiscal years, In cluding tbe two immediately preceding the war, area follows: IK 97, t515.H43.194: 1898, 528,785,079; 1899, 1632,871,688-, 1900, 554, 278,866; 1901, t578,482,821. "This shows an apparent excess In the ordinary appropriations at this session for the fiscal year 1901 of 149.747,242 over tbe appropriations for the fiscal year 1898, which Immediately preceded the Spanish war. Tbe chief Increases In ordinary expenses for 1901 over those for 1898 are: Increase of the navy, 7,081,916; pensions, 3,981. 350; postal ser vice, exoluelve of newly acquired territory, 17,782,900; twelfth census. tB.000,000; per manent appropriations (Including 2,000,000 for requirements of sinking fund and (4,000, 000 for redemption of national banknotes), 6.684,000. Tbe total of there increases In 50.202,826. "These Increases In federal appropriations need no defense, and but a word of explana tion. "The amount for the Department of Agri culture is only a proper compliance with the natural demands of tbe agricultural Inter ests of tbe eountry. "For pensions the amount simply repre sents tbe natural Increase ot the pension roll. "For the Increase of the navy the excess over the appropriations of 1898 Is necessary for tbe construction, armor, armament and qulpmentof battleships, cruisers, gunboats v.nd torpedo boats heretofore authorized, and Is no more thnn Is absolutely necessary toward placing the navy expeditiously in tbe proper condition universally demanded by tbe people for the national defense. "Much of tbe actual Increase Is attribut able to tbe Increased volume of business In the Treasury, War and Navy Departments, Incident to tbe war with Spain, although no part of it is Included in tbe table which Is submitted of Increased appropriations on account ot the war. "Under permanent appropriations, aside from 0,0(0,000 for Interest on the war lonn, two considerable Increases appear; one for 4.000,010 for the redemption ot circulating notes of national banks out of funds de posited with the Treasury for that purpose tbe transaction being purely one of book keeping and In no way affeotlng tbe public funds. The amount of estimated redemp tions out of bank funds Is simply (4,000,000 greater than In 1898, and by process of book keeping that amount is added to the appro priations for 1901. "An Increase of (2,000,000 Is made In the amount estimated to meet tbe requirements of tbe slaking fund for 1901 over tbe sum estimated and Included In the appropria tions tor 1898. This Increase Is on account of the Spanish war loan of (200,000,000. "Tbe approximate amounts, as nearly as they can be arrived at, appropriated on ac count of or Inoldent to the war with Spain during each of the three sessions of Congress held since the beginning of that war, are set forth In detail. The umounts thus appro priated during the two sessions of the last Congress, covering tbe period to the close of the fiscal year 19.0, aggregate (4S2.562.0f3. Ot this whole sum It Is estimated by the Treasury Department that to June 3J in stant, the totul expenditures will not exceed (392,000,00, leaving a surplus of (90,000,000, after meeting outstanding obligations, to be covered into the Treasury. Thus, for the conduct ot that momentous war and its re sultant effects Congress amply made appro priations, and the administration has wisely and prudently made expenditures from the liberal sums thus placed at Its disposal."

END OF CONGRESS, INTmfKTIMJ CI.ONINO M t:I.S IN IIOIH II018K. THE NAVAL BILL IS PASSED losing c-n-s In lloth C limnbers- Sena tors Were (liave and lilgnlHed, Much More So Than I mini, Hut Congress men Joined In a llevel nt Song and Merry-making. Washington, (Special.) Congress ad. journed at five o'clock Thursday, a little more than a day behind schedule lime. The fault of tbe delay rested with Mr. Cannon, the chairman ot the Appropriations Com mittee. In his stern determination tbat the Navy Department should not supersede the Coast and Geodetic Survey In the work fixed by law for that bureau, Mr. Cannon fought the Naval Affairs Committee and the Naval Supply bill so vigorously that Its representa tives were removed In disgrace from all further conference with tbe Senate Naval Committee, and Mr. Cannon and two asso ciates from tbe Appropriations Committee substituted. ' Tbe House by a vote of 118 to 90 refused to uphold Mr. Cannon, who then turned tbe bill back to the Naval Committee, from whose bands It bad been taken. Mr. Foss laughed like a happy child at the turn ot events. Under bis direction tbe House then hastened to surrender on every point of contention between the two bodies, and at three o'clock the Speaker announced tbat eveiy appropriation bill had now pased. It was now only necessary to kill time enough to permit the printers at tbe Govern ment rrlnting Office to set up the naval bill, print one copy and hurry it baok to tbe Cap itol, where the Speaker of the House, tbe Acting President of the Senate, and tbe President of tbe United States would sign In tbe order named. The resolution for Dual adjournment called forth a division. Mr. Sulzer attempting to put the Republicans on record by making them vote down bis pro position, that final adjournment be post poned until tbe Senate bad acted on the Anti-Trust bill recently passed by tbe House. But the members were too eager to go home, and the adjournment resolutions were adopted by 115 to 73. As the roll proceeded some anxiety seized the leaders, for it seem ed unlikely that a quorum would vote. The resolution for final adjournment must be adopted by a quorum, unlike all other mo tions for temporary adjournment. It was certain that Mr. Sulzer would avail himself of this parliamentary advantage, and mes sengers went skurrylng all over the huge Capitol bringing In absentees from tbe cafes at both ends of the building and breaking up little parties In committee rooms. As it was, the resolution was adopted by a safe majority. W'ith final adjournment only a matter of less than an hour, the House lapsed Into boyish pranks. Mr. Henderson, seeing the mind of the members, suggested the pro priety of a recess until ten minutes before five, and the motion was promptly adopted. Then for nearly an hour the House of Rep resentatives converted itself Into a huge social club. Mr. Denny led tbe House iu singing "Star-Spangled Banner." Here a One bit of patriotism showed Itself. The galleries were crowded, but as the first strains of the nation's hymn werebenrd every man, woman and child arose and joined in tbe chorus, until the mighty sounds rolled through the building to the Senate end. But tbe enthusiasm evoked was not to be compared with the remarkable demonstra tion which followed when, in a clear, ring ing tenor Mr. Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts, started tbe national anthem with the inspir ing words. "Through the dawn's early light." In nn Instant all the men, women and children In the gallery were on their feet joining In The singing. The House spent tbe Inst ten minutes of the session listening to a long list ot pension bills to which Mr. McKinley bad applied his signature just In time to save the bencfl clarles. There remained, then, only tbe announce ment from Mr. Payne, the leader of the House, tbat a committee of tbe House and the Semite, having waited on the President to learn If be bud further business tor Con gress, had been notified that be bad no fur ther message to send. The bands ot the clock appronohed the hour ss Mr. Henderson arose and addressed the House briefly. He congratulated the members on the work done by them In the session about to close, and thanked them for their thought fulness and tbelr courtesy. In the beat of debate. In their earnestness as legislators, In their zeal as partisans, none bad ever fallen below the dignity of true men, a sentiment which won the heartiest applause. Then as be brought down tbe gavel and declared the House adjourned sine die, the House again cheered him to tbe echo. The Senate speut the whole day awaiting tbe surrender of the House on the contested points In the Naval bill, It met from time to tlmo to take a fresh recess. Atodd inter vals there was an executive session, lusting only one or two minutes, just long enough to confirm some late appointment, Most of the time the senators spent visiting each other in little groups, exchanging hospitable welcomes and discussing plans for the summer. On every hand senators who bad fought each other with every bitterness of political rivalry now communed in sweetest harmony. Shortly before live there was a first execu tive session to confirm a constituent ot Sen ator Cullom's as surveyor general of Alaska. Then, at five o.clock, the Senate listened to a few polite phrases from Senator Frye, and then, with great dignity and solemn silence, adjourned. Sentenced to U lliinged. Wheeling, W. Va..

After Home fighting the burghers retreated and tbe llrltl.h followed until they found themselves under n heavy fire from eoi -cealed cannou. It was another "trap," bi.t on account of Lord Roberts' vastly superior numbers it did not succeed. After an artil lery conflict tbe Boers retired, taking their connon safely -away. Tbey next tried to turn the British left, anil made some pro gress, but General Hamilton arrived with reinforcements and the Boers Anally re treated. Tbe fight bad continued until dark and tbe Invaders encamped on the battle field.
