The House Appropriations Committee Meet
and Map Out Their Work for the Next Scs.
sion OF Congress.
The house committee on approp rlations met
yesterday Mt the capitol to map out their work
for tho next session Of congress Chairman
Randall and Messrs. Ellis, Townshend Follett,
and Ryan were present, and Mcssrs. Keifcr,
Holman, and Forney were represented by
others. The estimates for six of the annual
bills, namely, the postonce, Indian, consular
and diplomatic army, navy, and Military
academy were placed In the hands of suboom-
miuoes, ana II is expected that one or more of
these measures will be in readiness for consd-
Grafton by the whole committee when the scs.
sion begins next Monday. The subdivisions OF
the committee as agreed upon yesterday are as
follows:
on the legislative, executive and judicial
bill-llulmnn Hancock, and Cannon. Sundry

Mr.. Randall will have conference with
| the secretary of the navy to-day on the subject
of navy appropriations for the final six months
of the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1888.
IL is thought probable that last years appro-
priations will be continued for that PERIOD rs
was done last session for six months from July
/, and that thus the question OF making an
appropriation for the proposed new cruisers
on which the two houses came to deadlock
last session will bO left for the next congress.
Mr.. Randall, however, would not express an
opinion ON this subject or IA TO any part of the
policy of the committee, rcmOrking simply
