by the receipt from the Secretary OF the Treasury OF
deficiency estimates for the current and prior fiscal
years amounting to about s5,151 900. 1t should be
remembered that the appropriations for the current
fiscal year exceeded the estimates by moro than
sss 900 900 and that the regular ANNUAL approprs
ton to say nothing of deficiencies, exceeded the resu
lar annual estimates by nearly 100000 vi course
Chairman Randall and his colleagues have not forgot
ten these facts and they do not enjoy tho prospect OF
being compelled TO explain to the House why IL Is that
so large deficiency must be met after such enormous
appropriations. After excluding the permanent an
nusl appropriation and the regular an
nusl appropriation the appropriations for deficiencies
for the current fiscal year amounted to 1907 100000
The largest items In the deficiency estimate are
s2oiso0o for the Post Office Department and 81 1885,
600 for the Navy Department, and 5000 900 for ne
