The entire appropriation made by the
bill as reported IS Sal ,559,145, an increase of
g. ,424 over the total of the House bill.
This increase does not include estimate
for paying the sugar bounty claims. The
action of the committee with regard to
the payment of the sugar bounty claims for
the years 1898 and 1894 does not appear in
the report made on the sundry civil bill
for the reason that it was agreed in COM
mittee that it should be offered mat
ter independent of the report on the bill
by an individual member of the committee
IT, after seeing Senator Cullom, it should
appear that majority of the committee
was favorable to the payment of these
claims. Mr.. Cullom was absent from the
meeting to-day, and in his absence the vote
of the committee was tie on the proposi
ton to pay the claims for 1893, which had
been earned when the tariff act went into
effect, and one-half of the bounty for the
crop of 1894. Mr.. Cullom afterwards cast
his vote for the allowance of the claims
The provision for the payment of the
claims will be put in the sundry civil bill
as an amendment and it will be moved by
some member of the committee favorable
to the payment of the claims as soon as it
can be put into shape 1t is understood that
claims for 1898 aggregate s250,000 and the
estimates on the crop of 1894 make it ap-
pear that about 100000 will be necessary
to pay half the bounty for that year.
