APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE
Chairman Cannon Outlines the Policy OF
the Committee.

WASHINGTON. D.. c.. Dec. L.
There were a number of members OF
the house committee on appropriations
at the capital to-day. The sub commit :
tee on the legislative bill had a long
conference with the civil service COM
inissloners.
Chairman Cannon in speaking OF the
work of his committee, said:
Through the courtesy Of the treas
ury department the committee on ap-
preparations has on hand advance cop
les of the estimates covering all the
bills over which that committee had
jurisdiction. The various sub-commlt-
tees no doubt will make considerable
progress in analyziug. these statements
before Congress meets on next Mon
day.
Z What. In your Judgment, will be the
policy of the committee touching lib
eral appropriations for the public SER
vice?"'
1T Is perfectly well understood that
the revenues received by the govern
ment are not equal to the expenditures
and that the expenditures has been and
is being paid from the proceeds of mo-
ney borrowed at interest. Keeping this
condition In view, in my Judgment, the
Congress will provide by appropriation
for an effective public service, taking
care, however, to avoid extravaganza
and limiting appropriations TO the re-
quirements 'of the government econom-
ically administered"

The Fart Treating of the Cuban Question
Not Yet Completed.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 1.-There
vii be only one more regular meeting
OF the cabinet before the assembling OF
Congress and all tho members were
present at to-day's meeting to discuss
those portions OF the forthcoming mes
sage Of the President that relate to the
business of their respective depart
ments. With one exception the mes
sage Is practically complete and await
Ing only a few finishing touches. This
exception Is most Important, for 1t
concerns the treatment OF the Cuban
question. In the natural order OF
things this subject coming under the
head OF foreign relations would occupy
q most prominent place in the very be-
ginning of the message and SO might
be expected to receive early treatment
at the hands OF the President. There
Is Still gap In that part OF the mes
sage. however. Notwithstanding several
efforts have been made to close st up,
for the varying phases of the campaign
now In progress In Cuba have made It
necessary to change considerably the
views the President and Secretary Oh
ney desire to lay before Congress in
that connection, and probably It will
not be until the end OF this week and
at the very last moment that the miss :
Ing paragraphs Will be supplied. OF
course any expression OF opinion as to
the nature OF the Presidents views re-
specting Cuba are only speculative at
present. but SO far there can be found
no warrant for the assumption that he
has determined upon any decided
change In the policy to be pursued by
the administration in this matter.

round Of n twenty round fight here TO-
night after clever fighting.
John ]. Eckhardt was referee, and
Everhardt and Ernst stepped into the
ring at 13S pounds.
In the first ten rounds Ernst forced
the fighting and Everhardt let him do
It. leading him on. Ernst planted many
blows, but they were not as heavy as
those landed by Everhardt. who when
he made a rush. would force Ernst to
the ropes. Everhardt played this game
through the whole fight. In the thir-
teenth round he showed his superior
strength by landing blows where he
pleased, and the round was very nearly
q Knockout. Up to the seventeenth
round the men showed little effect from
the blows. In the twentieth round Ev-
erhardt went at his man hammer and
tongs when the gong sounded for the
last round and drove him to the ropes
with vicious left hand swing. Before
Ernst could recover Everhardt landed
n left on Ernst, which sent him to the
floor. He staggered to his feet and E;v-
erhardt was upon him In an instant
with a vollcy of blows that drove him
TO the floor Without attempting to
count Ernst out, Referee Johnny Eek
hardt gave the fight to Evcrhardt.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Ramon o. Will
Jams, ex-consul general of the United
States at Havana, arrived at his home
In Brooklyn to-day from a trip through
England, France and Spain. He con-
sented to talk for the first time concern
Ing the circumstances f his resignation
from office last year. which was sur
rounded by some mystery, and the rea-
sons for which have not before been
made public. There was talk at the
time that Mr.. Williams and Secretary of
State Gresham differed regarding the
policy OF this government toward Ameri-
can citizens, but General Williams de-
clined to discuss that point. He said
that his resignation was given because
his activity In the cases Of American
citizens under arrest made him persona
non grata to the Spanish government
and made his residence In Havana un-'
pleasant.
The particular episode in which Mr..
Williams Incurred the dislike OF Spain.
he says, was his inslstence that SAM

PRISON SENSATION.
Insuno Con, icta In tho Eastern Pennsyl-
vnuin Penitentlnry.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. LA scnsa-
tonal investigation OF the condition Of
the prisoners In the Eastern pcnitentia-
ry, this city, Will probably result from n
complaint made In the quarter sessions
court. and the consequent announces
mcnts by Judge Gordon to-day. Appli-
cation was made for an investigation
into tho mental condition of n prisoner
who Is alleged to have become insane
since his commitment. Judge Gordon
announced that'he had visited the prls.
on and became convinced OF the mans
Insanity. but his individual efforts to
have him transferred to an asylum
proving fruitless. the Judge appointed
committee OF expert physicians to In
vestlgate.
The testimony OF these experts was
heard In court to-day. 1t was to the ef-
feet that not only the prisoner In ques-
ton Is Insane, but great many other
prisoners are In q similar condition,
one OF them who Is under life sentence
for murder, being violent. There Is no
insane department In the prison and the
unfortunates are confined In ordinary
cells. Many of these cells, It was sworn,
were IN hlthy state, although In some
instances. this was attributable to the
habits Of the prisoners.
At the conclusion Of the testimony
Judge Gordon promptly ordered the re-
moval Of the patient In question to the
Norristown insane asylum, and declared
his Intention to submit the matter to the
state legislature. Among other things
he said:
"rhe light have already, convinces
me that the administration Of that prison
has tendency to promote insanity, and
that for some reason. those who admin
lister 1t are not disposed to give these
facts that publicity and force they ought
to have. From the assistance have al
ready received l shall invoke from the
gentlemen who have been at my side in
this matter. further assistance. and I
intend to call such attention to the gen.
eral subject. both by the legislature and
by other courts. that something may be
done to put Pennsylvania In the line OF
civilization and humanity In the treat
