APPROPRIATION BILLS
VIII be the Bones of Contention In Con-
gress This Week.

Washington, Feb. 15.-As much of the
pressnt week as may be necessary will
be given UP to the consideration of ap-
preparation bills by the senate. There
has been no accumulation of these bills
on the calendar, and with only little
more than two weeks of the session re-
naming II is not intended by the sem
ate managers that there should be.
They will insist that the appropriations
shall take precedence whenever they
are ready to proceed. The only ap-
preparation bill now on the calendar
is that providing for the expenses of
the Indian service. but 1t is expected
that the conference report on the leg
islative, executive and judicial will be
presented today, and that the bills
making appropriations for the District
of Columbia and for fortifications will
soon follow.
1t is the purpose of Senator Petit
grew. who has charge of the Indian
bill, to call 1t I'D tomorrow. Senator
Lodge has secured unanimous agree
ment for a vote upon the acceptance
Of the conference report on the i'm
migration bill at o'clock on Wednes-
day.
Although the house has disposed of
ten of the thirteen regular appropria-
tion bills two Of the three which re-
main, the sundry civil and the general
deficiency, are those containing the
miscellaneous items, which provoke the
most bitter opposition, both for their
sins Of omission and commission. 1t
is into these two bills that the mem
bers seek to crowd appropriations
which have been pigeonholed through
out the session, and heroic measures
are sometimes required to prevent
them from being made the vehicle of
carrying through appropriations and
legislation which the leaders have re-
solved to kill, The senate has usually
made a practice of loading up these
two bills especially, and the contests
between the two houses over them are
generally prolonged until almost the
hour of final adjournment.

A WARNING TO GREECE.
She Cannot Count on the support Of the
Powers -Gladstone's Hope.

London, Feb. 15.--The Times. in an
editorial. warns Greece that that coun
try must not think that 1t can count
on the support Of the powers to. wage
war. With her limited liability, her de-
pendence on the powers makes 1t nee"
essary for her to follow their advice
and avoid provoking a conflict that she
is incapable Of sustaining alone. The
decision of the powers to accept re-
sponslbiity by their occupation of
Canea, Retimo and Heraklion should
induce Greece to countermand her
military expedition.
In response to a request from the
editors of The Chronicle. asking him
to send message of hope to Greece,
Gladstone has wired The Chronicle
from Cannes as follows:
II dare not stimulate Greece when
we cannot help her, but l shall pro-
foundly rejoice in her success. l hope
the powers will recollect that they
have their own character to redeem"
