THE PROSPECT NOT GOOD.

has sent Secretary Chandler a copy of

Client FOR the department during the re.
maindeT of the fiscal year There can
be but little doubt that the s.cretarv
will declare the amounts named
for some of the bureaus insufficient,
which fact may be used in justification
OF the position OF tho house Ia refusing
TO assent to the senate amendments.
THE sBNArK's POSITION.
Should the point be made that the
amounts proposed are too low the sem
ale commi tee will meet IL by showing
that the disputed measure In tho house
bill, prepared last session, was
upon the basis OF the estimate
and were only objected to ON u o ground
that the senate, by amendments, had
made the appropriation too high Soma
tors will moreover urge that they are

tho pending bills, but are willing to nd.
just them In conference. The CHIEF
poin tnow made on the part OF the sen

bills not based upon recent estimates
is an evil which can be justified OILY by
much greater emergencies than now
exist.
1t is also argued that II the disagree

former bills the practice will am, unit I,
a permanent annual appropriation fol
