THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION
BILL


Austin Tex April Specially
The house tore It's way through about
twenty pages Of the general appropria-
ton bill in one day thir week Before
that II had been a month and more con,
slderng sixteen pages
The course of The house In regard to
this bill has been without precedent. Not
only has it taken action i'm regard TO the
salaries Of the department clerks calcu-
lated to make lem look upon their
position rs biennial lotteries, with good
chances for loss ON their part. but they
have hung onto the bill and chcwcd IL
around the edges for weeks beyond tie
usual time leaving the department TO be
run on credit. There has been no pay
day In ~ long now that the clerks are
getting into sad disrrputc among the
boarding house and storekccpcrs
Then thr amendments that hnve been
hcpp-d upon the bill. Dozens. scores and
hundreds Of them. and one of the most
peculiar features Of this Wholesale bonn
bardmeut Of amendments Is that many
Of them-some say most of thciu-huvu
come from the finance committee. whose
creator the bill is who would naturally
be- supposed 20 have perfected the bill 90
the best of their ability before they pre-.
scented 10 20 the house, and whose chief
business would Lave been supposed 90 be-
TO stand un for its defense in that per.
footed condition before the house. in.

The general opinion Is that the senate
will accept but few Of tie amendment
the Louise has so luvishly attached Ia the
hill aud IL will come back from ia,
inevitable free conference committee IN
very different condition from what n
leaves the house. That viii not affect

Who Received tho iiiggcst
Plum OF All.

A few minutes after noon yesterday Gov.
Richards appointed Loa Mantle. Of Butte,
aa United States senator to fill IL vacancy.
As soon as the governor affixed his sigma
ture to the credentials n telegram was sent
to M. Mantle ut Butte. notifying him of
the governors action. The credentials
were sent by mail yesterday via the North
ern Pacific to Washington addressed to
Mr.. Mantle in caro- of the senate chamber.
BY a curious coincidence Col. Sanders was
on board the same train bound for tho ma
tional capital. tho credentials being in a
mail car and tho War Horse in O Pullman.
Mr.. Mantle will leave Butte to-day for
Washington, travelling over the Grent
Northern railway. After tho appointment
was announced the executive office, which
has been the Mecca OF oiIicesaekers for
weeks, resumed its normal condition md
for tho first timo since his Inauguration
Gov. Richards was as!s to devote some
time to u meeting of one of the state
boards.
The executive office was flooded with rec
concentrations of the several candidates
and quite n strong pressure from influen-
tial sources it is alleged was brought to
bear upon Gov. Richards to resign and
nllow the appointment of himself. One Of
the strongest arguments used for the APP
pointment of IN east side man was that
such action would mean that Gov. Richards
himself would be selected two years hence
