DR.. Miner was called upon. Had not said
all he would like to say There is no topic
relating to human welfare which would not
be appropriate to the centenary year. All
enterprises require outlay. 1t is expend-
ture first, then return. This is true in reli-
gious effort as in everything else.
There must be religion as well as money,
but together they produce organized effort.
Hon. E. f. Pillsbury was the next speaker.
He said that many people call giving what is
only investing. He deemed his property in
public buildings and works and enterprises as
much his own and as important as his private
property. What is given to, schools comes
back again, yielding rich returns. The i'm
provement of men morally is far more i'm
portant than any physical relief. He beaut-
fully illustrated the far reaching effects of
giving for good cause.
Rev. G. w. Quinby read letter from Hon.
A. P. Morrill, regrcttng his inability to be

WASHINGTON, May 10.
House. Mr.. Kelsey of n. Y, a member
of the Committee on Appropriations and in
charge of the bill, explained its provisions.
He said the bill appropriated 1888, 0F, which
was Sl77 ,697 less than for the current year.
The appropriation for a mission TO Paraguay
was omitted. because there was no govern
mcnt there that the United States could rec
ognize. The appropriations were omitted
for consulates at Odessa, Revel and Moscow.
the consulates at those places being useless,
or nearly The fees collected there last
year are as follows Moscow $500; Odessa
9l,20; Revel nothing. He said he would
offer a proviso to the item for contingent cx-
pcnses, requiring vouchers in all cases to be
presented to the proper accounting officers of
the Treasury. The certificate of the Pres
dent would not be deemed as proper vouch-
ers. He explained this at some length,
referring to the expenditures of the secret SER
vice fund, and read a certificate from Presi-
dent johnson, authorizing an allowance of
Sl06 go. which he was informed and be-
ieved has been spent in connection with the
st. Domingo treaty and S9S, 2SO of it was
paid back to the Treasury. He was also in
formed that a like certificate from President
Grant mad recently been given for nearly
100000. for the same purpose. The Amer
than they wanted Alaska an act but one de-
gree removed from actual insanity.
Mr.. Kelsey proceeded with his argument
against the acquisition CT St Domingo, and
the whole system of making estimates, and
appropriating the public money which he
characterized as q defective loss AMI extravi-
gance.
Mr. Banks of Mass, Chairman of the Com
mittee on foreign affairs. opposed the with
drawal of the Consulate from Odessa, that be-
ing very important grain post He also OPP
posed the withdrawal of the mission from Par
aguay, as a Minister was necessary there
now. That Brazil preparing to swallow
up that republic to watch the events and to
report the facts to his govt He was also OPP
posed to the proposition requiring accounts to
be furnished of the expenditures of the secret
service fund. As to St. Domingo he said
that the non-possession by the United States
of naval station in the late war, prolonged
the war, and thereby sweled the expenditures
of life and treasure.
The Committee then proceeded to consider
the bill by sections, for amendments, and af-
ter a long discussion the House adjourned.
