the Conference Committee on the Deficiency
bill, submitted a report and proceeded tc
explain it in regard to certain claims, 10,
income tax paid by nonresident aliens
which had been regularly estimated for,
and which the House had partially and the
Senate entirely put in the bill. 1t had
turned out in conference that there were
objections to some of those put in by the
Senate and the conferees recommend that
these items be referred back to the Secre.
tary of the Treasury with instructions to
report the facts to Congress at the next
session. MI. Hale, explained as to the
item for the Brazil Steamship Company
appropriation that it struck out one clause
and substituted another directing the Post
master General to report at the next SEES.

out. Mr.. HOar asked how the a%ppropria-
tion bills of this session compared with those
Of preceding sessions with regard to the
omission OF House, items for appropriations
absolutely necessary for the operations of
the Government. Mr.. Hale replied that in
his opinion this practice Of the House was
becoming worse from year to year. The
Senate found bills sent over from the House
fractional and incomplete. 1t would find
for example on pages of regular estimates
one-third OF the items which had been left
out, while there was no difference in point
OF merit between those omitted and those
included. While it was q fact the Senate
was very careful to put in nothing but
what was necessary to the running OF the
Government, there were impatient utter
ances at. being charged with these increased
appropriations, and he was bound to say
for the Committee on Appropriations that
in dealing with this subject it had not been
treated as a party matter, the Democratic
member having manifested the same i'm
patience as the Republicans.
MI. Edmunds read from the Book OF Es-
Inmates the items of the Deficiencies esti-
mated for by the heads of departments az
y~regating more than s., 600, 600, and said
it was just as well known when the regular
appropriation bills were passed last year
that the sums appropriated were made
quate for the necessities of the Govern
ment as it was to-day, but they were not
increased because an opportunity was
wanted to tell thedear people the working
ingmen) how economical Congress had
been. The report was agreed to. Mr..
Allison from the Committee on A%pprcpria-
lions reported back a JOINT resolution ap-
prOpriating $4,000 additional for the
purchase of land for a site for the Congress
sional Library. Mr.. Plumb objected to it's
present consideration and it was placed on
the calendar. Mr.. Allison reported back
the House resolution to continue the ap-
preparations temporarily. Mr.. Plumb and
Mr.. Edmunds objected to the present con-
s~ideration, Mr.. Allison asked that the
objections be withdrawn and stated that
ii the resolutions were not passed
all employees whose compensation is
provided for in this Civil bill would not be
paid for the time intervening between
the last day OF July and theday when that
bill would receive the President 9 signature.
Mr.. Plumb declined to withdraw his OBJ
lection, being willing, he said. to leave with
the House the responsibility for it's tardi.
ness in sending the Appropriation bills to
the Senate. H said the change OF the rule in
the House by which seven or eight OF the gen-
eral appropriation bills were taken from
the Appropriation Committee had notgone
deep enough. Mr.. Allison, from the same
committee, reported back the House ad-
journment resolution with an amendment
changing the time from the twenty eighth of
July to 4 p. m. the fourth OF August.

to the passing OF this or any
other adjournment resolution until the
Senate had considered the bill reported by
him from the Judiciary Committee on April
nineteenth, for "Inquests under National
authority" He referred to Louisiana,
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and
other Southern States, and stated that in
every one of those cases, 80 far as was
shown to the peopleb by the press, the Negro !
and Republican was the victim, and the /
Democrat and white man the aggressor. If
any OF these outrages had been perpetrated |
on any American citizen in Mexico OF

would 60 into the campaign as a bloody
shirt campaign document, with fraud on it,
carried free through the mails, for the pur-
pose OF ~agitating the sectional sentiments
and feelings, which SO far as he was con-
cerned were dead and would remain so for
ever. Mr.. Salisbury expressed surprise
that a Senator with the experience of the
senator from Massachusetts would have
10 lar departed from all legislative proprie-
lies as to inject into the discussion of an
resolution the virulence of
'uch a speech.
