Chairman Cannon Explains Hevy Expend-
4 itures of the Recent Congress.
! WASHINGTON, March THE official
statement of Representative Cannon of
Illinois, the chairman of the house ap-
propriut ions committee, summing up
the APPROPRIATIONS for the Fifty-ffth
congress, shows an aggregate appropri-
alton by the entire congress of 81, $780,
S90,O16 and for the session just closed a
total of S675, 659 400, with authority for
contracts subject to future appropria-
lions amounting to $4,000, 900. Chair
man Cannon says: 9} D.
The appropriations made at the ses-
sion of congress just closed amount APP
proximately to a673, 65S, 400 and show an
apparent reduction Of e219,573 coo under
the appropriations made at the preced-
ing session. This is attributable to the
large expenses
Occasioned by the War With Spain
that were provided for during the pre-
ceding session. The entire appropria-
tons made by the Fifty-ffth congress
aggregate 81, 56s, 800, O16.2s. Of this
S482. 5G2 0S3. n is directly chargeable to
our late war orincident thereto. Deduct
ing this charge from the whole amount
of the appropriations the remainder,
81, C84. 327. G32 81, represents the ordi
nary appropriations made by the Fifty
fifth congress.
THE appropriations made by the pre-
ceding congress. the F'ifty-fourth,
amounted to 81 ,044. $50, 1881. A COM
parison shows an increase in ordinary
appropriations made by this congress
over those made by that congress of
$50, 747 600" .f F.. s
E1r. Dockery's Comment.
Mr.. Dockery, the ranking Democratic
member Of the house appropriations
committee, in reviewing the work of
the last congress, says: -.E
This congress easily surpasses all its
predecessors in the stupendous aggre-
gate Of its appropriations. It was
thought that the Fifty-frst congress,
commonly known as the billion dollar
congress- had, il point of extravaganza
Of appropriations, touched limit
which would not be reached Or, at least,
surpassed by any Of its successors.
This congress, however, has far ex
ceeded the appalling total of appropria-
lions then made and it will be remem-
bered that the billion dollar congress
was followed by overwhelming disaster
to the Republican party at the ensuing
election.
War Appropriations Cheerfully Made.
Confronted with war with Spain,
requiring the imposition of additional
taxation. it is obvious that rigid econ.
omy should have been applied in all
other directions to the expenditure. of
public money. The people We're willing
to meet all the demands upon the ma
tio-al treasury made necessary by the
Spanish war, but it is fair to presume
that they expected their representatives.
in view of the cheerful disposition man
Tested to meet these added burdens, to
limit the ordinary appropriations to the
necessities Of WISE and economical ad-
ministration.

realized. The result is an actual def

This Will Be Undertaken When
Troops En- Route Arrive.
Soldiers Restless.
Some Important News Is Antici
pated Within a Fort
night.

WASHINGTON, March 7. There is
some reason to expect important news
from Manila within the next fortnight.
1t has developed that General Otis has
practically completed his plans for
grand onslaught on the insurgents which
is expected to deprive them of offensive
power at least. It is probable that he
will form large part Of his force into
columns, as soon as reinforcements are
all at hand, and will push these in par
allel lines straight through the jungies,
clearing oul the insurgents in every
direction as the troops move forward.
The American troops are getting rest
less and nervous under the petty but
annoying sharp-shooting of the Fill
pinos. and are so ANXIOUS to put stop
to this that General Otis has yielded to
their desire. .-. &c.,,
Forces in the Philippines. ....
Forty-one thousand officers and men
OF the com bined army and navy forces
comprise the approximate total Ameri-
can strength now at, en- route and under
orders for service at the Philippines.
No further. achievements are now in
contemplation. The forces of the two
services already stationed in and about
the archipelago consists of 20 regiments
of infantry, 1 engineer battalion, Z
troops of cavalry and II batteries OF
artillery. an aggregate Of about 2+,OJC
men. Nineteen vessels with an aggre-
gate af 297 officers, $3.50 men and @55
marines make up the naval contingent.
This is exclusive of the transport Solace
with 162 officers and men all told, which
is constantly passing back ana forth
from Manila. There are about 4,SJO
