WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-At the request
OF the Committee on Ways and Means
Mr.. J. c. Courts, clerk Of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations. has submitted
to the committee a statement Of the
appropriations exclusive Of miscellaneous
matters made by the House this session.
II shows an aggregate Of S5l373}05, and
this amount has been increased 10 $jl9.-
I3,4i7 by the changes made in bills by
the Senate The following is a statement
of the appropriations contained in the
bills according to their present status ::
AS agreed upon in both houses: Army,
&225,639; Notifications. 22,2l0G5; Dis
trict Of Columbia, S,4l3, ,223 conference
report agreed 10, but not yet adopted
as passed by the Senate); diplomatic and
consular I.570,047; military academy,
$S42.556; sundry civil. SiS.934,475. as re-
ported 10 the Senate: legi lative. s2l90S. .
S2S; navy, S22.0S2, l3l; pensions, $lGG.56l 80.
0atter passed Senate to-day; as passed
by the House, agricultural. S3.294.3o0; In
dian. T,0sS,6l5, postofice, $50 90i,3l4; gen.
eral deficiency. $2l ,20,e3s. a comparison
between appropriations and estimates for
the past five years shows that contrary
to what has been the generally accepted
opinion, the appropriations have exceeded
the estimates. averaging $500 more per
annum. The reason for this is found in
the fact that appropriations have been
made for Indians and for rivers and har-
bors. which were not included ia the
estimates. BY an amendment to the
Sundry Civil bill, il is provided that in
the future river and harbor work must
be regularly estimated for.

THE sUNDRY CTYIL BILL.
Indications That 1t " i'll Pass without the
Sherman Amendment.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 27.-Two
views relative to the Sherman hond
amendment obtained in the Senate The
indications are however, that the SEN
ate will .'ecsde from Its amendment in
this particular, and that the result Of
the struggle will be that the Sundry Civil
bill will be passed without this amend
ment attached to il. There has been
a quiet canvass going on for the past
two days, and the opponents Of the Issue
Of bonds say that they have ascertaincd
that certain Senators voted for the pro-
position under a misappreh snson, and
will hail with delight any means that
will permit them to change the record
as il now stands
1t is also said that word has come
from Mr.. Cleveland that he would rather
see the Sundry Civil bill law than have
it imperilled by the attempt to force
the bond question. No one in the Senate
however, processes To speak for Mr.
Cleveland in this matter, and indeed
those who stand closest TO him say that
there is no difference in the situation
at all. a well-known Senator who en-
joys the confidence OF the President said
to-day that there was no reason why
the bond amendment should not prevail,
and he believed il would in the end,
for the reason that II was a clean-cut
business proposition that could result
in nothing but saving Of expenditure

istratiOn was in favor OF the amend
ment in the event of the contingency
that made such an issue necessity.

be defeated.
