Under the head of "miscellaneOus" is in
cluded one half the proposed appropriations
for public buildings. private pension bills,
etc. In addition to the foregoing sum of
$356, ,6OO. 600 there will be added before an
adjournment is reached $40,OO0,OOO for 8
service pension bill and $7,00O,O00 for
prisoners of war pension bill. T'he district
tag bill has also been favorably reported
and is now on the house calendar, but its
fate is somewhat uncertain.
f.however, nothing be done with it the fact
remains that the amount which the house
has appropriated and will appropriate at
this session aggregates the enormous sum of
S403, 600, ,O30.
Estimating the revenues of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year at $45O, ,0OO, 900,
and adding thereto a surplus for the same
period of 30,O0O,0O0 more, it will be seen
that the gross income of the government for
the year ending June 30. 1891, will be only
$77, ,0OO, 600 in excess of the expenditures. If
from this be subtracted the $4,000, 600
called for in the direct tax bill there would
remain but $G0,000000. This would be.
however, wiped out completely should the
Mckinley or a modified tariff bill reducing
the revenue $50, 100000 annually become a
law at this session, as now seems probable"

John Burns Wanted in Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 4.-If something unexpected
does not occur tomorrow every cooper en-
ployed about the packing houses at the
stock yards with the exception of a couple
of houses, including Armour's, will go out
on strike. Their request for eight hours
and decrease in wages of 10 per cent,
bringing So a day men down to 1910, was
ignored by packers and the result is de-
termination to quit work. At mass meet
ing to-day, at which over 200 persons were
present, committee was appointed to
correspond with John Burns, who recently
won the big dock laborer's strike in Lon
don, the object being to enlist him in their
cause with the packers. 1t is the intention
to bring the famous leader to Chicago,

to the notice of the house in strong. forci-

gave but little heed. Since that time Presi-
dent Harrison has been doing little fgur-

are true, he is considerably worried lest the
extravaganza of his party leaders shall
bring about deficit before his administra-
tion is a year older.
I asked Mr.. Peters to-day if the appro-
priations for the past two months were
above or below the estimates made by him
in his speech last February. He replied
that they were in excess of what he had
outlined. Mr.. Peters thereupon prepared
for me the following list showing the sums
of money which will be disbursed under
the regular appropriation bills. It should be
stated by way of explanation that the per
manent appropriation of $lO8 yOOO,OO in
cludes the usual addition of 81 4,5OO, 600 to
the sinking fund, while the remainder is
designed to continue certain work for which
appropriations have been previously made:

A Procession OF 10000 Men
Who Demand an Eight
Hour Law.
The Greatest Labor Assemblage In Lon
fdon Since 1866 Tho Proceedings
Quiet and Orderly.

LONDON, May 4.-To-day's labor demon
strations in Hyde Park were magnificent
success and excelled in point of numbers
and orderly enthusiasm all working class
gatherings since the great reform assembly
of 1856. A splendid organization of differ
ent sections taking part in the PROFESSIONS
brought together in the park half million
people who met, went through their busi-
ness and dispersed without single incident
occurring of disorderly character. The
leading sections were trade councils, which
included eight groups, representing
leather trades, metal and cabinet
workers, and shipping, clothing,
printing, paper and building trades.
These bodies, in which were numerous re-
lated trades. mustered in specified districts
of the metropolis early in the forenoon,
and marched, headed by their leaders, and
with bands and banners, toward the
Thames embankment, the central point
whence the marshalled array was ordered to
start for the park. The gigantic procession
moved off at o'clock amid thunderous
cheers and the blending music of many
bands. The route toward the park was
along Bridge street,, St. James park and
Bird Cage walk, which were lined with
spectators. Masses of artisans joined the
paraders on the way until on entering the
park the estimated number of men in line
was 10000. simultaneously with the ap-
pearance in the park of the trades columns,
sections of the social democratic
federation began to enter. Some Of them
had Joined the main body on the Thames
embankment, while others marshalled in
distant suburbs from different points con-
verging toward two platforms in the park
especially allotted to socialistic speakers.
The Railway Workers union also had
special professions, some of which swelled
the embankment columns, while others
marched in isolated groups towards the
platform centers. The total number taking
part in the various professions is estimated
at 10000, and these were almost lost In the
vastness of the assemblage gathered around
the thirteen platforms upon which labor
day advocates held forth. After the parad-
ers had gathered around the platforms
speaking commenced. shortly after
O'Clock.
Resolutions demanding eight hours as a
days work were put and carried, amid thu
acclamations of the multitude and by fv!

in line the assemblage began to disperse
Half million is a moderate comput atiol

Congressional Representation.

1t is likely, since the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the Republicans, that
they will press the passage of the
reapportionment bill at the next ses-
sion of the present Congress. This
apportionment is based on 10000
population to each Member, giving
the House 345 Members. The pre-
sent Congress has 325 Members, on
basis of 1922.
The increase under the new census
is one Member each to Alabama,
Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina,
New Jersey, and two in Texas-a
gain of seven in Democratic States;
also, a gain of one each in Colorado,
California, Kansas, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Wis
consin, and two each in Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Minnesota, and three in
Nebraska, a total of II in States con-
,sidered Republican. South Caro-
lima, Tennessee and New York will
each lose a member. But, at the
recent election several of those States
went Democratic, and of the II
Members to elected the Democrats
will get seven or eight, which, added
to the seven from the Southern
States will give them majority of
the "a new Members. But, should
the Republicans elect the entire Ii
from the States they claim, it would
have very little effect on the Demo
cratic majority in the House.
| Bat, if the Membership of the
House remains unchanged in num-
bers and the ratio increased to 1885,
900, as is proposed, New York will
lost two Members, and Tennessee,
Virginia, South Carolina, Indiana
and Iowa will each lose one; while
Nebraska will gain two, and Kansas,
Arkansas, Texas, Minnesota and New
Jersey will each gain one
However, Congress has no power
to make a new apportionment of
Representatives until the census bu-
resu officially reports the population
of all of the States. To make this
increase take effect in the Fifty
second Congress, which meets in
December, 1891, the Senate will au-
thorize special elections to be held in
those States in November, 1891. The
Representatives elected last week do
not take their seats until December,
1891.
The census just completed gives
the population of the country at
62,671,56O. Of this number, 1921
live in the Territories, and are not
entitled to vote. They elect Dele.
