1t shall be lawful for the Minister OF
Finance to continue to make payments
IN accordance with the appropriations
authorized by Section of this Act, until
the 31st day OF July, A. d. 1892, unless

out, and the following substitute section
be passed: The Minister OF Finance shall

Section OF this Act, the payments un-
der the Civil List, Permanent Settle

tlement and criminal expenses of the /

31st day OF July, A. D. 1892, unless new
appropriations are made before that date.
Minister Brown stated that it had been
held that the section as in the bill gave
the Minister too much latitude The
substitute section would remedy that.
Noble Widemann moved the substitute
section pass. Carried.
Sec. Z 1t shall be lawful for the Min
ister of Finance to continue to make paw
ments in accordance with the appropria-
tions authorized by Section OF this Act
until the 31st day Of July, A. D. 1892,
unless new appropriations are made be-
fore that date Provided that no pay
ments shall be made on account OF any
such item beyond the sum by this Act
appropriated.
Minister Brown moved it pass.
Noble Widemann moved it be stricken
out. 1t was absolutely unnecessary 1t
would involve the same evil which the
Minister had just mentioned. The House
would not know what had been spent,
because money would be spent ali the
time after the House was sitting.
Minister Brown said no amount could
be spent beyond that appropriated. Some
public works could be stopped, but there
was no need OF striking this out after al
tering Sec. g. 1t might cause a good deal
Of embarrassment.
The section passed as in the bill.
