CLERK COMMITTEE BILL.
Appointment of Committee to Dis
charge SuperduOus CierEs

Rutledge VIII Introduce Measure for
Appointment of Committee to Dis.
charge Superhuous Clerks.
JEFFERSON CITY. MO-, Feb 26-(spe-
cial) Morning brawls have become the
regular thing In the house, and tomorrow
will be no exception to the rule. OF course.
1t will be the old subject of clerks again.
1t is said that DR.. Rutledge. of Lawrence,
will introduce resolution to have a COM
mittee appointed, which shall supervise the
discharge Of the clerks, as provided in the
Delzell resolution. 1t is proposed as a
check to Chief Clerk Newman's great
scheme to discharge his most competent
men, in the hope that they will be reap
pointed. The major has not succeeded In
fooling the legislature very great deal,
even though he was nominated for the vice
presidency of the United States by the
pages. Indeed. the major Is in sorry dis
repute and needs to walk very straight to
keep from being fired.
Rutledge's resolution will also embrace
an investigation Of Ashley W. Ewing, COM
missioner of the permanent seat of gov
ernment. 1t is charged that his Office sup
ports a stuffed pay roll. Two bills from
this office are now before the house COM
mittee on accounts for work DONE 1t Is
said, by the regular employees, who re-
ceived their regular salary, and would thus
draw double pay. One is for $50 for fix
ing locks; the other Is for s54, for washing
towels. The committee Is expected to dis
cover other queer deals of this sort.

The bill to establish a national military
park to commemorate the campaign, siege

houses. Among the bills which have passed
one or the other house are: Amending the
war revenue bill as to stamping of bond or
note and mortgage; authorizing the sec
retary OF the navy to pay extra COM
pensation for certain extra services in
navy yard. etc.; to establish an interna-

Total Appropriations.
The total appropriations Of the present
session will approximate 100000, 600, of
which about $3.50, ,oO0. 900 will be for the mil
itary and naval uses or for subjects con-
nected with the war. This is a general
estimate. however. based upon totals which
may undergo much change. as very few
Of the large appropriation bills have be-
come law. and some Of them have not even
been considered. If the Nicaragua canal
amendment is added to the river and har-
Dor bill this will make material increase.
Included in the naval bill are provisions
Tor three seagoing battleships, three ar
mored cruisers and six small cruisers, for
which 100000 is appropriated for the first
years work. Based ON estimates, the total
appropriations for the congress (not includ-
ing the four appropriation bills left over
by the former congress) would be approx
imately $l,6Oo,0O0,0OO. Of which amount ap-
proximately s6OO,0O00Oo is for war expenses
