garded as significant have been noticed
by the treasury officials in the estimates
submitted to the secretary by the heads
of the various departments and by him
transmitted to congress. Secretary
Gresham failed to include in the state de-
partment estimates $30, 600 for the bureau
of American republics. An estimate of
this amount was Incorporated in the
state department estimates for the cur
rent year and its absence now is looked
upon as indicative of the purpose of the
secretary to disintegrate or abolish the
bureau, at least so far as the United
States is interested in its maintenance.
Secretary Morton, in accordance with
the suggestion contained in his annual re
port, failed to incorporate in the agricult-
ural department estimates the sum of
S120, 900 for the forty-eight agricultural
experiment stations, one for each state
and territory. Ever since 1888, it is
