Prospect Of Another Billion Dollar
Congress.
DEMOCRATS ARE MUCH ALARMED
Deficiencies Reported In Many Depart
Estimates Ordered to He Cut
Down-Rigid Economy In listed Upon.
Talk Of Tariff Caucus.

NEW YORK, Dec 2.-The Advertisers
of the appropriation committee. who have
spent portion of the month considering
the work that they must tako up at the
opening of the session are alarmed at the
prospect of another billion dollar con-
gress. 1t seems doubtful from present ap-
pearances II they will be able. with all the
rigid economy that they intend to en-
force, TO keep the appropriations below
the billion dollar line.
The estimates Of the treasury experts
are now made up, and will be sent to the
house on the opening day of the session.
Although these gentlemen have been eau
toned
To Cut Their Estim ates
to the very lowest possible figure. they
have not been able to bring them much
below those of former years.
There was hope some time ago that
pension estimates could be cut down, but
this is no longer regarded as possible, and
with the alarming deficiency which the
postmaster general reports likely In his
department, the hope of keeping the ap-
preparations down Is gradually taking its
departure.
Besides this, the niggardly character Of
the appropriations Of the last congress, un-
der the lead of L Economist Holman, have
made such deficiencies that an
Unusually Large Deficiency Bill
will be necessary In the early part of the
session, unless the present method Of per-
mitting bills to go unpaid and the public
buildings uncared for Is continued.
There is already movement on foot
amang those democrats dissatisfied with
the tariff bill to hold a party caucus upon
1t. The dissatisfaction of those whose
local interests are disturbed by IL Is In
tensifed by the unpopularity of the in
come tax proposition and the ad valorem
duties, which have been so much opposed
by the democratic as well as republican
secretaries of the treasury.
1t Is whispered that an effort may be
made to recommit the bill to the commit
toe for some radical changes.

TowED BY A BIG ICEBERG.
The Unique Experience Enjoyed by
the Crew of the z. o. Clark.
From the PhiladeIphia Record.

Many novel ways are pesorted to by
those in command of sailing vessels to
make time against adverse winds and
Gains, but the ingenuity of Captain
Chase, of the bark f. 0. Clark which
arrived here yesterday from Greenland,
has earned for him the proud distinction
of being the first sailing master to make
his vessel fast TO an iceberg and allow it
to pull him toward his destination with
out sail being set.
The bark sailed from Ivigtut, port on
the southwest coast of Greenland, on
June 81 for Philadelphia. She was
loa led with cargo of cryOlite She is
one of the seven vessels that are regu-
larry engaged in carrying that little-known
mineral from the far north. For three
days after leaving Ivigtut she was sur
rounded on all sides by monster iCebergs
but they soon became lost to sight in a
dense fog, and it was then that the skill
of master mariner was brought into
play and throughly tested. Capt Chase
and his crew OF ten men were kept cons
family on the alert, and the vessel beat to
and fro until the fog lifted. Then the
most dangerous ice was seen well astern,
and the ship was out of immediate dan
ger.
For six days afterward huge bergs were
in sight, but far enough away to preclude
the possibility of collision. Drift ice was
sighted on June 30, having been driven
offshore by a northeast wind. II was
driving almost in the direct course which
the Clark was endeayoring to pursue. The
vessel was soon on the outer edge of an
immense field of drift ice, which ex-
tended in a northeasterly direction as far
as the eye could reach, with an occa-
sional berg reaching high into the air.
On the other side was the clear water.
The Clark was soon caught in the drift,
and was so firmly neld in the ice that she
was carried many miles on her course, a
line having been made fast to one Of the
nearest bergs to keep her steady. For
several days all hands enjoyed the novel
experience of being towed by an iceberg,
but finally the wind began to change the
direction of the drift Then the rope was
cut, the sails were set and the vessel soon
freed herself from the icy grip, and in a
few days was clear of the Arctic current
The rest Of the long journey was devoid Of
special interest.
Nothing was heard from Verhoeff, the
Arctic explorer, or of Capt. Lawrence and
the crew of the missing bark Platina
The Esquimaux report that no white men
have been seen anywhere on the coast, ex-
cepting at the Moravian settlement,
which is a considerable distance north OF
Ivigut.

GEORGES GREAT LUCK.
Made a Fortune on a Small Invest
ment in an Alabama Enterprise.
From the New York Times

Speaking of the Alabama iron and coal
mines, little incident is worth relating
| concerning them. In 1874 young man in
Mississippi came into possession of an
estate of about $4,000. Being in the re-
gion of Birmingham he became inoculated
with the popular enthusiasm prevalent at
the time in the locality, and almost be-
fore he knew it, he had actually invested
$l2, 600 of his $4,000 in the stock of a
newly flOated iron and coal company
When he came back home and told his
friends what he had done they all with
one accord hOoted at him, quoted to him
that pleasant little saying about a fool
and his moneys soon parting company,
and made things pleasant for him in va
riOus ways. Everybody he met had a
broad grin on his face when he asked
George W. about his Birmingham prop
erty, - until he sWore that he wished the
concern-himself included-was in hades
or Halifax.
This was not the worst Of 1t. George
w. was engaged to a pretty girl, the
daughter Of local money lender of the
little Mississippi town they both lived in
The old man didn't like his daughters
lover very much anyway, for he did not
show zeal enough in money getting, and
when he heard that the young man had
actually put S12 900 in hard cash into an
Ala bama mining company, his wrath
knew no bounds. He at once told his
daughter that he wanted IAN end made
of the foolishness between herself and
George" adding his regrets that the state
of Mississippi did not provide an asylum
for such fools.
Though the girl had always obeyed him
before in everything, she did not in this,
for she could not give her lover up be-
cause he was unfortunate ana she didn't
either TIE unlucky young fellow would
gladly have taken one half his money
back and turned over the entire property,
but no one made him such an offer This
was in 1874. With the luck of some peo-
pie, the young mans investment happen
ed to be one of the most fortunate ever
made in that wonderful region. He is
now receiving s., 200 month in dividends
on his stock, and this has been going on
for twelve years. He declined an offer
of $3.50, 600 for his interest by u Nashville
and New York company. headed by the
famous president OF the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, p l. Standeford
George has Just subscribed 100000 to the
capital stock OF new national bank, of
which his father-in-law is to be presi-
dent, and is worth ten times as much as
that gentleman is. and as he himself ever
expected TO bewhen they were worrying
him about his coal and iron stock.
