APPROPRIATIONS AND TAXES.



an increase In Tax Levy.
OLYMPIA. March Sin his biennial re-
port ex-Auditor Reed estimated the gen.
eral fund revenue OF the state for fiscal term
ending March 81, 1895, at 81, ,66S, 900. This
estimate was made on the basis of 2l< mill
tax levies for 1898 and 1894. The bill to be
reported tomorrow by the house appro-
priations committee will provide for the
expenditure of over s., 500, 600, and 1t 10
conceded that some of the items Of the bill
will have to be increased. Of the total an
preparation provided tor. the militia ap-
preparation will be taken from the mill
tary fund, and it is provided that
the general fund shall be reimbursed
to the amount of $4,000 from funds 10
arise from sales of public lands. The de.
ductions Of these sums from the total
amount proposed to be appropriated leaves
the amount of the net general appropria.
tions for running the state government
during the next two years at something
over 81 800. 900. As the amount proposed
to be advanced for state institutions and
other purposes as stated above, $500. 600.
will have to be provided for by general
taxation and loaned from the general fund
until such time as money from sales Of
public lands becomes available for reim-
bursement. 1t is plain that if appropria.
tions are made on the scale proposed by
the committee, the state tax levies for
the coming two years will have to be higher
than 2I1 mills, as the receipts estimated by
Mr.. Reed would not begin to meet the out
lay proposed. Mr.. Reeds estimate Of the
warrants drawn on the general fund and
unpaid on March 81, 1888. the end Of the
present fiscal term, was $209, ,167.6S. The
actual amount will be in excess of that.

ALLISON AND HILL oUARREr.


O1Gn1ned Senators Cnbeud and the New

NEW YORK. March 5-A Washington
City special to morning paper says: The
leading topic of conversation in political
circles today is the spicy scrimmage that
took place between Senators Allison and
Hill in the closing hours of congress and
which has just leaked out.
The trouble arose over the New York
bridge bill. Senator Hill tried to call the
bill up several times. but just when
the right moment arrived an appropria
ton would be reported from the con-
ference COMMITTEES and the bridge bill
had to give way. Finally Senator
Hill lost his temper, and. crossing the
chamber to the Republican side, walked
up to where Senator Allison was sit
ting and said sharply and angrily:
''Senator Allison. you aid Hiscock
in conspiring to defeat my bill"
Hill then took his seat. Senator
Allison felt that he had been
grossly insulted. He at once sprang
from his seat and, hurry,ng over to Sena-
tor Hills desk. declared in the most forci-
bic manner in which such . statement
could be made that the senator from New
YORK departed from the truth, and then
he abruptly returned to his seat. Today.
however, mutual apologies were made.

WAsHIyGToS UrY, March s. The senate
of the Fifty-third congress will reassembie
in special session tomorrow at noon.
Usually special sessions are perfunctory
and formal, business being confined to the
reception of nominations from the presi-
dent. but because of the peculiar affairs so
tar as the composition OF the senate itself
is concerned. with the doubtful standing
of senators who hold appointments from
the governors of states instead of cgeden-
tiais of election by the legislatures. and
further because OF the announced inten.
ton of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, to
precipi,ate q silver discussion by the in
PRODUCTION of q resolution of inquiry
directed TO the new secretary of the
treasury, it may be that this special session
will assume a degree OF importance and
excite such popular interest as has never
before been Witnessed in such cases.
