SUM UP THE BUDGET.
MISUNDERSTANDING APPROPRIATIONS
OF FlFTY-FlFTH CONGRESS.

Total Amount Carried In Appropriation
Bills Is s1,566, 100 ,O16-Of This Sum
S4s2, 56e, Os3 Is Directly Chargeable to
War With Spain-Dockery's Statement.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The official
statement of Representative Cannon,
the chairman of the house appropria-
tions committee, summing up the APP
preparations of the Fifty-fft congress,
show an aggregate appropriation by the
entire congress of 81 $3.50, 800, 0l6, and for
the session just closed total of $685.
65S, 400, with authority for contracts
subject to future appropriations amount
ing to $70,O00.000. Chairman Cannon's
statement is as follows:
1.-The appropriations made at the ses-
sion of congress just closed amount ap-
proximately to 1878, 65S, 400 and show an
apparent reduction of $2l9, 573, 900 under
the appropriations made at the preceding
session.
This is attributable to the large ex-
penses occasioned by the war with
Spain that were provided for during the
priations made by the Fifty-fifth con-
gresS aggregate $1,566, $780, 16.2S. OF
this sum, S4S2, 5G2, 0S347 is directly
chargeable to our late war with Spain
or incident thereto. Deducting this
charge from the whole amount of the
appropriations, the remainder, 81 ,0S4,
327 ,632Sl, represents the ordinary or
normal appropriations made by the
Fifty-tifth congress.
"The appropriations made by the
preceding congress, the Fifty fourth,
amounted to $l,044, $50, 273.S7. A COM
parison shows an increase in ordinary
appropriations made by this congress
over those made by that congress, the
Fifty fourth, of $50, 747,OO0; but this
apparent Increase is more than &C
counted for by increase, under eight
items alone, namely, for pensions, ST.
$1,000; for the postal service, $16, 000,-
900; for rivers and harbors, including
work undCI contracts previously author
lied, SD, 600, 900; for new ships for the
navy, $G,000,OO0; for finishing the work
of the twelfth census, $1,000,000; for
the Paris exposition, 81 200, 900; for new
public buildings, including the bnilding
for the department of justice, and for
site and partial construction of the new
government printing Office, about S.
$1,000, and for payment of judgments
rendered against the government on &C
count of French spoliations and under
the Bowman act, So, 100000 These very
natural and necessary increases aggre-
gate $39, 300, 000-more than dissipating
the entire apparent increase in the or
binary appropriations by this congress
over those made by the Fifty fourth
congress.

FOR A PACIFIC CABLE.
Our Island Possessions and to
Points Beyond.

Washington, Oct 2s.-In official and
diplomatic quarters attention is being
directed to the question of a Pacific
cable, linking this country with the
Philippines and points beyond.
In a general way, the project is foe
cable of four links, viz: From San
Francisco to Hawaii, 2, 100 miles; from
Hawaii to Wake island, 2,O44 miles;
from Wake island to Guam, 1, 295 miles:
from Guam to Manila, 1850 miles.
These landing points are all within the
control of the United States, our flag
having been raised at Wake island not
long ago. This would connect all the
American possessions in the Pacific by
a line crossing no foreign territory.
Besides this, the plan permits of an
expansion so as to secure two outlets
to Asia and the far east.
The first of these would be from Ma
Mia to the japanese island of Formosa,
from which island Japan has built a
line to the Japanese coast and the
mainland of Asia. The second outlet
would be from Hawaii south to Fan
ning's island, at which point the
newly-projected British cable from
Vancouver to New Zealand crosses.

ktmberIey,s Jokes.

It is said that the only time James
q. Blaine was nonplussed was while he
was secretary of state. One of the appli-
cants for a consulate in Japan was thes
late Samuel Kimberley, OF Baltimore,
who died in the service of Central
America. After he had presented his
credentials Mr.. Blaine said:
Il should like to appoint you, Mr..
Kim berley, but L have made 1T a rule
to recommend no one who does not
speak the language of the country to-
which he is sent. Do You speak Jap
anese?''
'Cert-t-tainly, Mr.. Blaine stam--
mered Mr.. Kimberley. 'A-a-asll me
s-s-something in .I-J-Japanese and I'll
a-a-answer YOU
Mr.. Blaine had not a word to say.
but the Japanese post went to another
man. all the same. and kimberley went
to Central America.
Another story is told of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.
One day he met young woman who
threw her arms impulsively around his
neck and kiss him. Seeing her mis-
take, she drew back and angrily asked
AREN'T you Mr.. Jones?''

CIGARMAKERS OBJECT.
A Bitter Fight to Be Waged by the Inter

the Philippines.

George w. Perkins, president of the
Cigarmakers' International union, a
bitter fight is to be waged by that or
ganization against the annexation of
the Philippine islands. The cigar
makers will make their first stand on
the question this fall when the FEEDER
alton of Labor holds its regular conven-
ton at Detroit. Later delegates will
be sent to Washington to make an eff
fort to secure the support of congress
men on their side. The objection to
the Filipinos is that over so, 900 of them
are engaged in the manufacture Of
cigars at very low wages, and it is be-
lieved that should the Philippines be-
come a part of the United States the
American cigarmalzers would be I'M
able to continue their trade.

condition of the corps is satisfactory,
except for a lack of officers. It is an
interesting fact that the physical re-

making an allowance of an additional
inch in the maximum height.
During the Spanish war and on other
occasions during the past year, the
men of the marine corps have rendered
service calling for special commenda-
ton, and number of these cases are
mentioned by Gen. Haywood. Medals
of honor were awarded to IL men of
the Nashville and Marblehead for their
gallantry in the cable cutting off Glen
fuegos during the war.
