What the Appropriations Made by the Pres,
emit Congress VIII Amount To.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 19.-The
total of appropriations of the present
session of Congress will exceed by a few
millions the appropriations of The first
session of the last Congress. No official
summary has been made by Chairman
Savers or the members of the appro.
priation committee, but comparison of
the bills already passed or reported,
with those of the first session of the
last Congress, shows the total Of the bills
as they leave the House will be about
$3.50, GAL ,759. The Senate usually
increases the bills materially, last
year securing increases reaching total
of 100000, SO that the aggregate for
the present session is expected to touch
1910, 900, 900. Eight of the great appro-
priation bills have already been re-
ported to the House, and three of them
have been passed. The total of these
in their present stage is 1904, 04l, 759.
This is about $15, 100000 more than the
same bills carried two years ago. The
comparison is as follows:

ZURICH is but a slow Swiss town the
size of Toledo, o., and seventh the size
Of Philadelphia; but in 1884, when Zurich
found typhoid fever in its water, this
slow Swiss town set out to improve it's
water supply, spent 500 900 on new filters,
5000 on new reservoirs, and, by using
the water power secured, set up an electric
light supply at cost of 1886, 900 and
furnished light, arc and incandescent, at
profit of $4,000. The Philadelphia Press
pertinently asks eve Americans think
we are enterprising, but how long will it
be before Philadelphia matches the work
of this slow Swiss town and reduces its
typhoid cases by 80 per cent ?"

Place in the Upper House.
WASHINGTON, July 9l.-The senate wore
an aspect of peace and serenity yesterday,
In striking contrast to the excitement of
last week. Vice President Stevenson had
returned and occupied his accustomed
seat. Among the bills introduced was
one by Mr.. Allen to provide for the issue
Of $50, 900, 900 in treasury notes to be dis
tributed pro rata among the states ''for
the relief of the worthy poor" 1t was re-
ferred to the finance committee. The re-
port of the conterees on the agricultural
appropriation bill, announcing agreement
on all the amendments but the one appro-
priating 81, 100000 for the determination
of the Russian thistle, was agreed to. The
senate formally insisted on this amend
ment, and sent the bill back to confer
ence.
Beyond the passage Of few unimpor-
tant bills by unanimous consent nothing
was accomplished by the house yesterday.
Mr.. Boutelle offered a resolution oongrat-
ulating and recognizing the Hawaiian re-
public, but on point of order IL was re-
ferTed TO the committee on foreign affairs.
Two hours were spent in an attempt to
secure the adoption of a special order for
the consideration of Mr.. McRae's bill to
project public forest reservations, but the
Republicans, by absenting themselves,
succeeded in forcing an adjournment.

And as War Had Not Been Declared the
Action Was Wholly Unwarranted-A
Washington DipIomatist Explains the
Present Attitude Of japan.
Present Attitude of Japan.

WASHINGTON, July s1.-It is the opinion
In diplomatic circles here that the Jap
anese have made grave error in sinking
the transport Kow Shing, and one that is
likely TO cost them much money in repair
alton, besides the humiliation of an
apology. The Kow Shing was one of =
line Of coasting steamers belonging to
Hugh Matheison & Co., and trading be-
tween China ports The vessel was under
the British flag when she was sunk. Al
though she carried Chinese troops to
Corea 1t is said here that she did not, in
20 doing, violate the law Of neutrality,
for there has been no declaration of war
or open acknowledgment by either China
or Japan that a state of war prevails. The
vessel, therefore, was engaged In legiti-
mate traffic and the japanese are likely
to pay dearly for sinking her and destroy
ing the lives of the ships company.
An interesting explanation of the pres
ent attitude of Japan towards China
was furnished by a diplomatist Of
much experience In Asiatic affairs. He
first pointed out the fact that internal
conditions in Japan are, and have been
for some time, very much disturbed.
There has been great friction between the
Oh Oub Slub anu bhb
and people on the other. This steadily
increased until the parliament actually
passed resolution requesting the mikado
TO remove his cabinet and replace it by
other men more nearly in accord with
their ideas, which are distinctly reaction
airy and marked by resentment of the
presence of foreigners in Japan and the
extension of modern civilization systems.
The emperor's answer came quick and
sharp in decree proroguing the parlia-
ment. This added to the popular feeling
off dissatisfaction and the government
became alarmed, The date Of election of
the new parliament began to draw near,
and some heroic measure was necessary
to prevent an overwhelming defeat, the
result of which might be to turn Japan
backward in the march toward civiliza-
tion and perhaps to overthrow the ON
peror himself.
The japanese relations with Corea grow.
ing out of the obstacles to trade with that
country, with its limitation upon the fish
cries and upon the number Of ports open
to Japanese trade, were in very unsatis
factory state, and this, with the state OF
domestic affairs, led the Japanese govern
ment to adopt very vigorous foreign pol
icy, in which it is quite sure of popular
| support.

tory of the steamship service between here

Is given by the officers of the Gaelic in the
fact that all able bodied Chinese were de-
tanned pending the outcome of the ne
