Of Secretary Long almost S32, 900 900 will
be necessary to defray the expenses of
the navy and marine corps during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1899. Having
employed the pruning knife at all points
where it was possible to do so, the Sec
rotary has drafted letter to the Sec
rotary of the treasury, forwarding the
estimates CT Appropriations required by
the two services. The exact total of the
estimates is s31,991 ,72755. The esti-
mates submitted to congress by former
Secretary of the Navy Herbert for the
present fiscal year amounted to $34,215,-
e3U.lo. The apparent smallness of Sec
rotary Longs total Is due to the fact
that that official proposes to make q
