HOW THE CASH WENT.
THE FINANCIAL LEGISLATION OF
CONGRESS REVIEWED.
Mr.. Cannon Says the appropriations
Were Small and Economical, While
Mr.. sayrcs Says They Were Enor-
nous and Profligate.
AS Viewed by Both sides.


Chairman Cannon, of the House Appro-
priations Committee, and ex-Chairman
Sayres Thursday made public joint
statement concerning the expenditures au-
thorized by this Congress, discussing them
from the Republican and Democratic
standpoints respectively
The total appropriations for the session,
including permanent annual appropria-
tions, is $515, 759, ,S20.49.
Mr.. Cannon's statement begins:
"The appropriations charged to this
session include $119,054, ,160 under the
permanent laws, of which amount $780,
100000 is for sinking fund and $50 ,5O0,-
600 for interest on public debts, or $3,-
365, ,614.40 more than was included at the
last session Of Congress in the statements
Of appropriations, and is on account of
the increase of $162, 81, 400 in the bonded
Indebtedness of the country by the present
administration up to February, 1895, the
interest and sinking fund charge on ac-
count of the later bond issue Of $780,
100000 in February, 1896, amounting to
$4,4OO,OOO, not being included in the esti-
mates of permanent appropriations.
Increase in Public Debt.
"The increase in the principal and in
terest bearing debt of the country under
the present administration amounts to
$500 2,315, 400, which entails annual inter-
est charge of $11 ,492, GIG, and to meet the
sinking fund obligations the further sum
Of $2,623, ,154.
During the administration Of Mr.. Har-
rison the principal Of the interest bearing
debt was reduced $685. 1872 300 and the
annual interest charges $10,327,716.
"The regular annual bills, including de-
ficiencies, as passed by the House made a
reduction in the total estimates submit
ted by the executive of S26,0S3, ,191. 81;
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1896-06-18

81, 400, 900; defenses and armament, $4,-
195, ,O76; new warships, 81, 900, ,0v0; Dis
trict Of Columbia, $125,000. Total, $751;
241, ,480.
He says that the total expenditures In
one fiscal year have never been so great
except during the civil war and exceed
the assessed valuation of property In any
one Of the South Atlantic States.
In conclusion Mr.. Sayres says:
IF the present Congress had rigidly re-
fused authority for additional contracts
and had appropriated only to meet the i'm
mediate or fiscal year requirements under
existing ones, the next Congress and ad-
ministration would have been in position
to largely reduce appropriations and ex-
penditures, and the administration Of the
government could easily have returned to
an economical method of expenditure.
This, however, has not been done, and the
majority in Congress must be held re-
sponsible for this grave dereliction in pub
lie duty"

Great Auditorium-Splen Build
Ing for the Convention.
All In Readiness.

AL An AxSuulnGoos
st. Louis Correspondence:
Thirteen thousand six hundred and one
persons will have seats in the great audi
torium erected for the Republican nation
al convention. A few more chairs may
possibly be squeezed in. The contractor
and architects planned building big
enough to hold 1000 chairs, and when
the real push and crush begins, the full
number may be utilized, but If there were
twice 14,OO0 chairs, 1t is doubtful IL the
number would be large enough to seat all
the people in st. Louis who want to see
the doings on the first day of the con-
vention.
This great white auditorium will shell
ter the ghosts of many dissipated booms
before the nation is much older. The
building is of wood, covered with blocks
Of white staff, which give it the appear
ance Of glistening marble. The building
stands on the site Of the new city hall,
and must be completely removed by Oct.

er's stand are 024 seats for the accommo-
daton of delegates. There are two in
closures for alternatcs, one TO the right
and the other to the left Of the delegates
seats. Each of these Enclosures have ac-
commodations for 4G2 alternates. The en-
tire space allotted to the delegates and
alternates is open, with no pillars to OBJ
struct the view. The speakers platform
occupies central position on the north
ern side Of the hall, just in front of the
delegates, and just opposite the main en-
trance.
The roof Immediately above the spaces
assigned to the delegates and alternates Is
really canopy of glass. The glass frames
can be raised or closed at will, giving the
hall an abundance of both light and air.
Should one of the famous hot blasts of st.
Louis hit the town NJ the time of the con-
vention the building will not be the bake
oven which some Of the delegates fear.
Dozens of ventilating fans will keep the
air In the auditorium in motion, although
the efforts of some of the cyclone orators
could be counted upon to perform that
feature of the program.

the Farmers Alliance and bought news
paper-the Clinton Caucasian. His ideas
suited the alliance, even in that early
day, and Butler was sent to the State
Senate. Here he was leader of the rural
forces and introduced all their reform
measures. The alliance made him its
State president in 1901 and 1892. He be-
came the principal organizer Of the Peo-
pies party. His greatest success was his
carrying out the campaign of 1894, at
which his party was triumphant and for
which his reward was the toga. Senator
