preparations.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Representa'
tive Joseph q. Cannon, of Illinois, the
senior republican member of the pres
ent appropriation committee of the
house ard who was chairman of the
appropriations committee during the
Fiftyhrst, or Reed congress, has
prepared statement which he will
submit to the house, setting forth
comparison from his standpoint of the
appropriations for the present and the
Fifty-hrst congress- 1t is captioned,
Pension appropriations Reduced S29,-
O99, 504. Total Of Other Appropriations
increased
Mr.. Cannon says: "Mr. Cleveland, by
his estimates, asked congress to appro-
pirate for the public service for the
coming fiscal year, including perman-
nent appropriations $500, 662, $40, and
congress has appropriated for such
service $49O, COS, 369. This, in round
numbers, is $4,000, 900 less than the
president asked for the public service.
large part of this $30,OO0, however,
will be appropriated next winter by
way of Deficiencies.
"A comparative statement of appro-
priations made at this congress for the
fiscal year ending June 30 next with
appropriations made at the first and
second sessions of the last congress
(the Fifty-secOnd congress) and at the
first and second sessions of the Fifty
first. commonly known as the 'Reed'
congress, shows. and such is the fact,
that the appropriations this year are
greater by S27, ,26S, ,S5S than were those
made by the first session of the Fifty
first, or Reed congress. The state
ment also shows that the apprOpria-
tions made this year are S26, S35, 9S9 less
than those made at the second session
Of the last, or Fifty-secOnd congress.
This reduction is covered by the item
for pensions alone. There was apprO-
priated this year for pensions S29, ,099,
504 less than was appropriated last
year.
1T will be noticed therefore, that
the appropriations this year, excepting
pensions, are greater than the appro
priations made last year 1868, SIS. The
total appropriations for the Fifty-first
or Reed congress, two years, were
1888, AT, 1873; those for the Fifty-second
or last congress, two years, Sl,O27, ,1o4,
547.''
Mr.. Cannon then read the statement
issued by the treasury department OF
July 2, giving the expenditures and re
ceipts of the government for the past
year and those of the previous year.
Mr.. Cannon's statement then contln
ued: '"This statement does not include

WAS SEWARD FOUND GUILTY?

dict IN Against the Colonel.

It is stated on presumably accurate
authority that the court-martial Sc.
lected 20 try Col william Seward on
the charge of disobedience Of orders, pre-.
ferred by Brig.-Gen Louis Fitzgerald
has found the gallant veteran COM
mander of the Ninth Regiment guilty,
with a repr!mand.
This result is a great surprise to
National Guardsmen. for Col. Seward
has been looked upon as model soldier,
and the order which he "disobeyed" was
worded so that any reasonable interpre-
tation OF 1t, according to g,Iardsmen,
would give to Col. Seward complete dis
erection regarding his action under 1t.
AS the penalty imposed is said to be
only a reprimand. 1t is plain the court
martial did not look upon the offense as
a very heinouS enc, and in fact, the
findings OF the Court were arrived at,
not unanimously. but by bare majority
vote. Col. David f. Austen and Col
Alexis C. Smith are reported as opposing
any penalty whatever.
