The West Point Appropriation Bill
Reaches the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The first of the
regular annual appropriation bills-that for
the West Point Academy-reached the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations yester-
day. 1t is not within the recollection of the
most experienced Senators that this has
ever before occurred at so late period in a
long session-though the records as to
dates have not been closely examined
for more than half dozen
years. In the long session of the Forty
seventh Congress six of the fourteen annual
appropriation bills, and in that of the Forty
eighth three of them had reached the Senate
committee before the middle of March. In
the long session of the last Congress the
first bill made its appearance on March 4
and the second on March "A. The record is
held to indicate an increasing tendency to-
ward prolonged sessions of Congress.
