ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS.
The 'BlIlion Dollar Congress" Was Just
what Its Name Implies.


WASHINGTON, March s.-The contro-
versy as to the comparative expendi-
lures OF the "Billion Dollar Congress"
and the last one is still on, and though
she clerks OF the Committee on Appro-
priatiohs OF the two Houses have COM
pletsd their statements, they do not
agree. The Senate committee con-
fines itself to the absolute ap-
propriations made, while the House
committee in its total appropriations OF
the fifty-frst, or as IL was called the
"billion dollar congress-" includes what
are known as indefinite appropriations
made necessary it is claimed by the
legislation of the Congress. 1t is upon
these two matters that the committees
do not agree although the actual figures
On direct appropriationsare the same.
Mr.. Allison, chairman OF the Senate
Committee, has prepared statement
that shows that the appropriations for
the first session of the Fifty-frst Con-
gress amounted TO S463, 800, SO, and for
the second session S525. 01s,672 making
a grand total for that Congress OF $685.

600, ls6, for the second session s5l9,
22l ,s6l, making total OF 81, 026, 500, ,047.
This shows an increase OF appropria-
tions by the last Congress over the Re-
publican Congress Of S3s, 404,065.
Mr.. Holman, chairman OF the House
committee, in remarks which he is pre-
pairing for publication in the Congress
sional record concerning the appropria-
tions of the Fifty-second Congress shows
that the appropriations OF the session
lust closed amount TO S5l9, 22l, ISL.
From his point Of view, the appropria-
tions Of the Fifty-first Congress aggre-
gated S1,O35, $50, ,921, and that those OF
the Fifty-second Congress amount to
s.. .O26. s22, ,049. or Ss.s6s,s ,s72, less than
those of the Fifty-frst Congress.
Mr.. Holman will preseut statement
of appropriations made by the Fifty
second Congress ss charged against It
under permanent appropriations, ID ac-
cordance with the requirements OF the
law enacted by the Fifty-frst Congress.
These include sums aggregating in all
s154.l72, 040. Judge Holman states that

COLUMBUS. o., March s.-The Senate
to-day passed Workman's House bill
providing for State Board OF Arbitra-
tion for settling disputes between lab
orers and employers. The law does
not propose to force compliance with
its findings except as public opinion
will do that. 1t seeks simply
to investigate snrikes and make the
arbtrators findings a matter record.
The board will consist OF three MEM
bers, appointed by the Governor, who
will receive S. per day while in actual
service. Either party to such labor
dispute may set the arbitration ma
chinery in motion, or mayor or pro-
bate junge may do so.
The bill to submit proposition TO the
voters 10 change the Constitution so as
elect all members OF the General Assem-
bly, by single districts passed the House
to-day. In the larger counties that are
now entitled to more than one Repre-
sentative and Senator they are all

New ORLEANS, La, March S.-Ihe
battle Of middeweights is over.
The March carnival OF pugilifm mas
become prize ring history, and its rec
ord is before the country.
1t is important because one OF It's
fights was for the largest purse ever
fought for in the ring.
A magnificent crowd in point OF size
and personnel saw the great battle TO-
night, a victory won and defeat sur
fered.
The scene was the most sUperolY ap-
pointed fctic arena in any land, an
arena that has grown like the legendary
beanstalk, almost in a day.
The interest tonight was not as great
by many degrees as on the occasion OF
the battle for heavyweight supremacy
last September, when the ponderous
pugilistlc idol Of the country was laid
low by the modern prize ring David, but
the fight tonight was nevertheless the
most important and most general sub
ject of conversation this evening on the
streets, In clubs, in saloons, and in par
lOrs.
The story OF how often the pugilists
were nearly matched, what they said OF
each other and how their matches tei.
through, would make book Of reason

New ORLEANS, March S.-Fitzsim-
mons, with his trainers and baggage,
arrived this morning and was met at the
train by representatives Of the club.
There was a crowd OF curiosity seekers
to see him alight. He was driven in a
carriage TO a Canal. street residence,
where he remained until evening.
He looks to be in splendid condition,
and though as taciturn as usual, su-
premely confident of his ability to win
with comparatively as much ease as has
marked his other battles in this city.
Shortly after arriving this morning he
got into carriage with Judge Lazarus
and his trainer and drove to the Grim
inal Court building. His entrance caused
a commotion and court business was sus-
pended. FitzSimmons is we'll known and
a crowd followyd up the stairs anxious
to know what business brought him to
the court. They did not have long to
wait before they learned his mission.
Fftzsimmons wanted TO become an
American citizen so that he might
Justly wear the stars and stripes.
Judge Lazarus represented him and ex-
pressed his desire 10 be naturalized.
He was duly accorded the privilege,
and Australia will no longer claim the
middle weight champion for her own.
Some one asked Fitzsimmons where
he intended to vote, and he remarked at
Bay st. Louis. He spoke confidently Of
his battle.

me as ten to one shot. About 10
o'clock this evening they will be sorry

Gordon was drawn about the building be-
fore the day had been absorbed by night.
