THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Democratic Comparison Between This
Con1.ress aud fha In xuuses Raed.

democratic Comparison Between This
Congress and the Last Amuses Reed.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 7.-Savers of
Texas, a member of the appropriation
committee, in conjunction with the clerk
of the committee. has prepared for the use
of the speaker a statement of the appro-
priations made by regular annual appro-
priation bills. In explainining the state
ment today Sayers said:
The appropriations of the first session OF the
Fifty-rst congress aggregated $40, 26l ,o9S, with
out including appropriations OF $l0,000,000 for
the sugar bounty and 23i,367 COS for dependent
pensions, making SAC, ,367, ,605 which the present
congress must provide for. Our estimate of ap-
propriatons OF the present session is $iS5. .s20,.
499. 1t may be assumed. however, that this total
may be increased or diminished before several
bills become laws. It is believed the estimate
makes liberal allowance for all proper expend-
itures. SIpposing the appropriations of the
short session OF the present congress do not ex-
ceed those of the Senate proportionately, they
will aggregate, excluding the river and harbor
bill, S460, $50, i99, as compared with appropria-
tions of the short session of the Fifty-first
grsss aggregating $5Il 4il,672, being difference
of more than $50 0O0000 in favor of the first
sion of the present congress. The total ap?ro-
priations of the Fifty-irst congress were
sl,o0S, 600 900, and TIE statement prepared shows
that al the appropriations 10 be made by the
present congress will be less by about $685. 900 600
than those of the Fiity-frst congress. The
estimate of revenue for the fiscal year submit
ted by tine secretary Of the treasury is $i5 00o
which will mt an deficiency in revenues, as
compared with the expenditures, of about
$30,0oo,Ooo. The estimate of our appropriations
at this session includes provision for d sinking
fund of s4So00,tJ0.
Reed, commenting on the above state
ment, said:
All the above estimates are as misleading as
the Democratic platform. They cover only
items passed upon by the House and arrived at
by pinching the honest expenditures of the
government in such a way makes even the
Democrats smile among themselves, for they
know the Senate must increase them or starve
the government. There is no real reason why
Governor Sayers should not put forth any
guesses he may make, but the public should not
mistake them for facts.

TRE SURLY GERMAN EMPEROR.
Glad to Make Peace With Bismarck,
hut Still Hates His Mother,

PARIS. May 7.-[New York Herald Spe-
cial 1T is announced today on good
authority that the czarewitch will soon
become the husband of Princess Mar
garite, the emperor of Germany's sister.
According to. another rumor, which ap-
pears to be well founded. reconciliation
will soon take place between Emperor
William and Prince Bismarck, the
only difficulty in the way being the aged
ex-chancellor's unwillingness TO resume
office. The story goes, however, that he
will permit his son Herbert to enter the
diplomatic service, and that the latter will
then be appointed ambassador to Paris or
Vienna.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Queen Victoria returned to London in a
very discontented frame of mind on ac-
count OF her failure to meet Rm-
peror William during her stay at
Darmstad. 1t is certain the emperor
refused TO meet his grandmother, and in
stead of replying to the dispatch inviting

The sugar Trust Wants Duty Retained.

New YORK, May ii. B. Bonner, an ex-
pert refiner of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company, when asked by reporter
about the break in sugar certificates, said
he could not attribute it to anything else
than the threat of some of the members of
congress to take eff the half cent per
pound protection which the industry now
enjoys. This, he said. would kill the in
dustry in this country, with its $50, 900 900
investment. The result would be that the
entire sugar trade with Cuba would col
lapse and go to England and Germany.
He frankly stated that he had made ar
rangements, in case of the threatened leg
islatIon, for building large works in Ger
many.

Anti-Germsn Sentiment in Russia.

Correspondents announces positively that
the car is coming to Potsdam. 1t is GER
tain that attempts will be made to renew
the entente with Russia in the direction of
negotiating the commercial treaty baked
by the ST. Petersburg opposition, and even
the courtesy of visit from the czar would

In the meantime the anti-German party
prevails in Russia. The repression of the
German element in the Baltic provinces is
more severe than ever and the use of the
Russian language has been made COM
pulsory in the schools which have hitherto
been exempt.

Noble Does Not Refuse Evidence.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 7.-Secretary
Noble has addressed the following ex-
planatory letter to Chairman Wheeler, Of
the committee on investigation of the
pension office:
have learned from the commissioner by his
letter to me of the ID inst, received ut this de-
partment on the 4th. of his communication to
you dated on May ., in which he states that he
has been directed by the honorable secretary of
the interior to refuse to furnish the information
desired by your committee concerning certain
correspondence, upon the ground that the con-
siitution and laws of the United States repose
In him (tne secretary the power OF appointment
and removal, and that in the secre-
tary's opinion he will not be required
to furnish to congress, or one OF its commit
tees, the grounds 1pon which such appoint
ments and removals shall be made. While be-
iieving this statement OF the laws to be such as
might rely upon safely, were / SO disposed as
the head of this department, l have to inform
you that the commissioner has misappre-
hended my purpose, SO far as the investigation
by your committee is concerned have no dis
position to refuse in this instance, either upon
Il grounds stated by the commissioner or any
other, an investigation into the correspondence
mentioned ty you in your letter of April 16, but
think your demand should be more definite as
to cases and time, otherwise the labor will be
very great and the time and clerical force re-
Qufred TO perform IL more than you prOOaDiy Oe-
SIRE My intention in anything l said was no
more than that your committee should be in
formed of this fact and that you be
asked to specify, as far as possible, the
particular letters you desired, when
copies would be furnished. Had the secretary
been inquired of his views would have been
communicated to you with directness and GER
tainty am not content to have your commit
tee close its labors upon any misapprehension

ton, and beg to say that if you will convey to
me the statement of what the committee desires,
with regard to the correspondence, as special
examiners and within what dates you desire it,
will furnish copies as soon as the force at my
command will allow. Whatever may be my
constitutional rights as an officer, adhere to
tine purpose expressed when first voluntarily
appeared to your committee, that in accordance
with the views of the president wish to aid
you in your Investigation and not to hinder you.
Commissioner Raum has written reply
to Secretary Noble, in which he says As
sistant Secretary Bussey informed him
Secretary Noble had decided not to furnish
copies of the letters referred to, and di-
rected HIM to so inform the committee. In
conclusion he states that he is in full
accord with the secretary's expressed wish
to give the committee every aid in making
athorough investigation Of the bureau of
pensions. and he invites the fullest exam
ination of all his official acts in connection
with the office.

SACRAMENTO, May THE weather and
crop report ending with last night has
been issued by the State Agricultural So
ciety and says: The past week has been an
unusually cold one for this season of the
year. There have been light frosts, but no
damage of consequence was done to fruits,
grains or grasses. The rains have been a
godsend to the San Joaquin valley and the
lower Coast counties. The crops will not,
of course, be nearly as large as those of last
year because that was an exceptionally
heavy one. Certain classes of fruits near
Susanville, Lassen county. will be almost
total failure this spring. The need of
warmth and sunshine is reported from
one end of the state to the other. Southern
California was vastly benefited by the
rains. Some hay was damaged all over
the state. The season will be at least two
weeks later than usual.

We reached our destination in a day
and half, nothing of Importance hav-
ing occurred except that | had found
my pack altogether to heavy for com
fort and "Frenchy" had stepped into a
mud hole on the trail up to his middle
and could not get out without assist
ance
When we reached the shanties, be-
sides Jas. walsh we met Earl House and
Sammy Wright of this place who have
claims near there. The friends of
Walsh who have known him as the
neat, well dress ID clerk would have
failed to have recognized him in the
smoked individual in dirty overalls
with six weeks growth of shaggy beard
on his face
We spent the balance of the day rest
ing up and the next two days exploring
and cutting trails. when we reached
the shanty the evening of the second
day we found that Earl House had just
had quite a serious accident. He had
been out shooting fish with a repeating
rifle and while pumping the cartridge
in it had exploded, driving the dog of
the gun up through his hat just graz
ing his forehead and filling his face and
eyes full of powder. Coleman removed
the powder from his eyes as much as
possible cnd when we left the woods he
had about recovered.
If it was not for the little black flies
nothing could be pleasanter than the
lie in the woods. But they are pest
and no mistake. They stick closer than
a brother and are more assiduous in
their attentions than the fondest lover.
The back of Coleman's ears looked like
piece of raw meat and one morning
when got up one eye was swollen shut
and l could barely see out of the other.
In returning to the lake we made the
trip in half the time tn 1T it took going
in. We reached the lake Mon lay and
expecting that the boat would take us
off the next morning we finished what
provisions we had except a couple pie
ces of bread and some coffee. But the
next morning our hopes were doomed
to be shattered. It had rained hard
all night and was still at it and dense
fog hid everything from view SO that it
was impossible for us to make the boat
hear us or see onr signal and we only
heard them whistle in the distance as
they went by.
AS we had no provisions we could
spend no time cul'sing our luck but
started at once for Beaver Bay which is
good days walk above there. This
promised to be plea:ant trip. The
i}atter Of rain drops on the leaves fur
nished us with pleasant music and kept
time to the swish of the water in our
boots as we waded through the streams
swollen by the rain. After going about
two miles we reached the Manitou river

the brim with roaring torrent. AT
ter spending couple hours trying to
bridge it with trees which were swept
away as fast as We could fall them in we
retraced our steps to Pork Bay, whero
we arrived about noon. After partak
ing of light repast of coffee, we con-
tinued on down the lake. About half
past four we reach ID a camp where u
party from Duluth was engaged in put
ting in cedar posts where we did justice
to the cooks art.
