CONGRESS- NAVAL FIGHT.
THE SENATE APT TO PRECIPI-
TATE AN EXTRA SESSION.

Appropriations for the Remaining six
Months of the Fiscal Year Made Re-
d1culOusly Small by the New BIZ of
the Upper HOuse-The Money Practi-
cally Only Sufficient for Three Months.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The Star this even
ing, foreshadowing the course of events in
Congress during the remainder of the session.
says: 1.-The House will take no action on the
bill making appropriations for the naval SER
vice for the succeeding six months which was
passed in the Senate just before the holiday
adjournment, and the House Naval Commit
tee VIII not recognize it in their consideration
of the subject. The bill has been sent to the
Secretary of the Navy, however, with a de-
tailed comparison between it and that for the
nrst SIX months. This shows it to be practi-
cally an appropriation for three months in
stead OF SIX, as 1t appr0priates no more than
would probably have to be used bV March t.
ana some OF the Democrats IN the House say
Jnat III was the purpose OF the Senate to make
an Appropriation to last Just that long and
leave the navy without money when President
Cleveland comes in. If the money should thus
be all expended on March the navy under
the new administration would be without
money until July l unless an extra session
was called to provide for the deficiency The
statement furnished to the Secretary of the
Navy shows that this bill would give the navy
S6OO,OOO less than they had for the first half of
the year, and $1,000 less than they would
nave mad for the half year if the original bill
of the House haG passed.
REPAIRS AND EQUIPMENT.
For the first half of the year the Bureau of
Equipment and Repairs has had S4OO 900. This
bill provides that they snail have but $298, ,0OO
For Che Current Expenses Bureau $751; 900 was
appropriated for the first half of the year,
while the Senate now proposes to give them
but S25 900. For the Bureau of Navigation
$4,000 was given. The Senate now proposes
$2o,OOO. Ihe Dill for the first SIX months ap-
ppopriated $5O0.0OO for the expenses of the
Bureau of Steam Engineers, while the Sen
ate's bill for the last half appropriates but
S25e 600. The members of the House Commit
tee say that the expenses of the navy bureaus
are uniform the year through, and that if the
appropriation for the last six months were so
much less than that for the first it would be
all expended before the year is up. The i'm
preston prevails that if the Senate does not
recede from its position, the House will sim
ply pass appropriations for the next fiscal
year, and after March an extra session will
have to be called.

gal and void, and its collection was perpetu-

that by the transfer of the road on which the

awarded stock IN the latter road. and the
court held that as no consideration was al
lowed, the tax was not valid. An appeal to

RANDALIIS TRIPS,
His Object to Try to Maintains What
Little Following he Had

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Inasmuch as his
large Republican and comparatively small
Democratic following are making much
ado over Mr.. RandalP5 Southern trip
in which holiday entertainment some of
his revevenue reform opponents are also
engaged, it may not be amiss to indi-
cate " hat is the opinion of Democrats very
high just at this time in the cOunsels of the
party regarding the object of this widely
heralded excursion. This. opinion is simply
that Mr.. Randall realizes that he can neither
be Speaker of the next House nor a member
of the next Cabine'; that he feels that in
consequence thereof he is in imminent danger
OF losing his grip on very considerable per-
sOnal following he has hitherto had in the
Democratic ranks; and that he recognizes
the necessity of obtaining new recruits in or
der to enable him to retain the prominence IN
national affairs which he has hitherto en-
jOyed. It Is already known IN Democratic
circles that as member of the next House,
Mr.. Randall, if he chooses to oppose the tariff
bill which Will be brought in, could not COM
mand the support of some of the men who
stood by him at the last session, for opposi-
tiOn to tariff reform legislation will be oppos-
tion, not only to the dOminent sentiment of
the party in Congress and in the country, but
also to tbS aims and purposes of a Democratic
administration. Next winter the situation
will he quite different from what it was last
winter.

A BALL FROM THE CLOUDS.
Speculation Whether a Fielder Can
Catch Ball Thrown from the MOnu-
ment's Top.


Catch a Bali Thrown from the MOnu-
ment's Top.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-People interested
in base ball have been talking for several
days Of wager, said to have been made by
Superintendent Mclaughlin of the Washing
ton Monument, that Paul Hines, the well
known fielder, recently with the Providence
nine, could not catch base ball thrown
from one of the windows at the top of the
monument. Mclaughlin said o-day that he
had made no such wager, but that he was
perfectly willing to do so. He said that he
did not believe Hines, or anybody else,
could catch ball thrown from
the, top of the monument. He would
probably have no difficulty in stopping
it, fer the engineers of the monument calcu-
lates roughly that the ball would descend in
about five and half seconds, with a speed at
the bottom equal to about $50 feet per second.
The ball would not be going more rapidly
than many that are easily caught on the ball
field. The trouble would lie in the com bined
difficulties of seeing the ball and determining
its probable position at the ground. 1t is
probable that the monument will be utilized
by some OF the scientific bureaus of the gov
ernment for experiments in velocity.

Danger of too Much Indiana Brains

The Indiana papers agree that Presi-
Dental Cabinet without Mr.. j. Mcdonald
would be very much like the play OF
''Hamlet'' with the role of 'sHamlet'
omitted. Wouldn't this be preferable to
the play of 'Hamlet' with the role of
"Hamlet" doubled? There is a grave
likelihood that this republic will get
rather too much of Indiana during the
next four years. The manner in which
Mr.. Hendricks starts out has led good
many thoughtful people to suspect that
one Indiana pill is a dose. Indiana is
very like limburger cheese-a little of il
goes long way. There is danger of over
loading the national stomach with Indiana
