THE CHIEF INCREASES.

The chief increase in the Legislative establishment
relates to additional funds for the use OF the
Library of Congress Ir the executive departments
It represents the necessity for greater NUMBER OF
clerks to transact the business OF a greater Nation
and to hll the places Of persons employed out OF
the war emergency fund. In the military estao-
llshment It stands chiefly for additional ransporta
ton of troops and the creation of reserve supphes
in the naval establishment. for construction or
ships and armor; and under public works. fortifca-
tIons river and harbor improvements and Gov
eminent buildings The only important decrease
IN the tabuation, that OF foreign Intercourse
comes from the payment OF $50 10000 for the Philip
pines this year. For most Of the required appro-
priations for next year the recommendations OF
the chiefs OF depart nents have been published in
connection with their annual reports. Inc prin-
cpal exceptions are those under the headings For
