NAsmNeToN, March 6.--When con

how much money had been
voted. Senator Carlisle said the total
was about 1926, ,0O00, 600. Representa-
tive Dockery placed II az $50, 900, 600.
Mr.. Carlisle is on the finance committee
OF the senate. Mr.. Dockcry Is on the
appropriation committee OF the house.
These two committees ought 20 know
II anybody how much had been voted.
But they were $4,000, 600 apart
In their estimates. II Is the custom
just before sine die adjournment
20 have a statement made In the senate
and house OF the amount OF money voted
for the session just closing. In the
house Mr.. Cannon, chairman Of
the committee on appropriations, omitted
the usual statement In the senate Mr..
Allison said he would have u ask the In
diligence Of the senate, and would in a
few days, furnish a showing Of the
money voted The fact is the business
was In such confusion when adjourn
ment came that the committee had lost
the run OF the amounts carried Ia the
various appropriation bills Talk about
totals was simply guessing. Everybody
knows that tn the three-months' session
more money has been voted than In any
session OF congress since the war But
nobody call tell within millions justwhat
the aggregate Is.

planters as overseers,a and with some
negroes who will be taken there To teach
the natives. Possessed Of the imperial

whether he thought many French exhio-
Itors would make displays at

whether the French government would
be well represented officially at Chicago,

pirate a good snm for this purpose, and
when the measure comes up In the sen
ate IL will meet with no opposition
Then we will send a creditable delega-
tion, as we did To Philadelphia In 1875.
I may add In a general way that official
circles always keep in mind the prompt
and generous way in which the Wash
ington government came 10 our support
in 1889. And II there was any danger of
this being forgotten should be- the first
