Ing disposed of all the amendments re-
ported to It by the committee on ap-
propriations. Some comment was made
on the practice attributed to the house
of representatives of apprOpriating
sums only sufficient to cover the cost
of service for six or nine months IN
the year and throwing on the senate
the responsibility and blame of SWELL
ing the appropriation bills. The ad-
vice preferred by Mr.. Mills (Dern.,
Texas) to cure that evil was for the
senate to pass the appropriation bills
just as the house sent them. leaving
to the president the duty OF notifying

There was also some little criticism
Of the action Of the house in cutting
off appropriations for Providence hos
pital in Washington-that action being
attributed to religious bigotiy and in
tolerance. The fact that the first comp
troller refused to audit the accounts
Of the Venezuelan-G Guiana commission

severely.
