Washington Special: Although the Forty.
eighth congress has been in actual session
onlv fourteen days, and there has been bat
one call of States in the house, the bills
already introduced would, if enacted, absorb
an the surplus revenues Of the government
for several years to come. No regular appro-
nriation bill has yet been reported, but
nearly every measure presented contains an
concentration direct, indefinite, implied OF
ohfoue. Bills have been introduced to au-
thodze the purchase of ground and the cree
zion of sixty public buildings in thirty-three
States and Territories, including the District
~ Columbia, the cost of which, so far as in
dieated, will be upward Of $12, 900, 900.
The larger items are: $500, 900 for a site for
md 5000 DOC to the construction
If a congressional library in Washington;
$500. 600 for a building for the general land
9fice: 5000, 600 for a hall of records, and
100000 for an army medical museum. An
annropriation af $777, 5SS. 90 is also asked
for to complete sRe capltol terraces ana star;
WAYS and $4,000 TO remove the Bartholdi
fountain, making a total of $2,6S2, 5SS. 9S
FOR the national capital. The sum of
81 200. 600 is required to establish a mint in
New York; 100000 to purchase a site for a
nostoffice courthouse, etc, in San Francisco;
S950 600 for a building to accommodate the
United States courts, postofice, pension
office. etc. in Manchester, N. H.. $3.50, O0O
each for similar buildings in Lexington, KY,
and Fort Smith, Ark, and 5000, 600 each

SOME PRIVATE BILLS
The bills for the relief of individuals and
cornorations call for about $40, 900, 900, but
tbis does not include a large number OF
claims. virtually vutlawed, which it is pro-
nosed TO refer to the court of lain for adj
indication: neither does it embrace claims
for pensions, arrears of pay, bounty, etc.
that have been rejected by the executive de-
partments. Altogether it is probable that
S25. 600, 900 will barely cover the demands
az relief so far presented to the Forty-eighth
congress-. Some of the relief bills are what
florists would call "hardy p~erennials." Nc
amount of freezing out impairs their vitality.

amounts to be asked for at the next session:
