URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL.

Same of the Amounts Needed to- Square
Uncle SANS Accounts.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.- The sub-com-
mittee of the house appropriation COM
mittee has been considering the urgent
deficiency bill. which it is expected will
be reported in few days. Many OF the
items which We're included in the def
cheney bill, which failed to pass at the
extra session, are not included in the
present bill. as the house takes it for
granted that as the previous bill l1fill
in conference, it may be passed.
Commissioner of Pensions Loci
has appeared before the committee and
urged an appropriation of 100000 for
special agents and examiners to investi-
gate pension frauds.
The public printer has sent in requi-
sition for 5000, 900 for the deficiency of
the government printing office.
The treasury department wants $780,
0C0 for deficiency on collection of Gus
toms. 1t has been the rule of congress
to appropriate 81, 800, 900 for the service,
together with an indefinite appropriation
for fines, penalties, etc. which may
accrue to collectors. This has amounted
to 81, SOC, 900 or s., ,00O, 900, but in recent
years it has been cut down to less than
81 200, 900. While this indefinite appro-
priation has been cut down it has been
necessary for congress to appropriate
from $4,000,O00 to $4,000, 900 for def
ciencies. If the present amount asked
for is not appropriated the treasury de-
partment will be obliged to curtail it's
customs service. as the department is
not willing to create any deficiency.
Another item asked is $4,000 for the
transportation of silver coin.
For Special Agents.
| The commissioner of the general land
office asked $4,000 for special agents.
| This appropriation asks $50, 600 for con-
| tingent expenses. The last congress ap-
propriated $500, 900 for registers and re-
ceivers and provided that enough land
offices should be consolidated to make
this amount sufficient, but the offices
have not been consolidated, ahd if the
$50, 900 is now appropriated it will be
tantamount to changing the law, so rs
to increase the last appropriation to
$4,000. 1t is anticipated that appro-
| priation for clerks for the senate during
the recess of congress in 1890, will be
attached to this urgent deficiency bill,
i'm the extra session of congress, and that
it will be one of the contentious of the
| session
