aoRMAN's wARSISG WORDS.
wAsmsGToN. Feb. 2l.-Mr. German
uttered significant words In the senate
to-day while AN amendment to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill involv-
ing an appropriation for pub
lie huiIdinp in Vermont was pend
ing lie said that there was already
ell, 200, 900 authorized TO be ex
pended for public buildings, and CON
tinued: "We are in front Of condition
serious and alarming and which had
brought senators together last Saturday
TO provide against disaster. | am firm
believer that we have only touched
the borders of this trouble and that
the real trouble is that the revenue
laws do not produce sufficient money
to pay the expenses of the govern
ment as now fixed. And believe that
before July next extraordinary action
will have 10 be taken by the men who
control the financial establishment OF
the government to meet the emergency
or else congress will have TO reassemblC
and meet IL 10y making adequate
provision. This body, in opposition &c
the earnest recommendation Of the
committee on appropriations, increased
the appropriations for rivers and har
bors nearly $4,000 swelling the
bill SO that 1t already amounts TO Si4,
900, O00."
The amendment was, however
agreed 10.
