gress.

Washington, March 10. - Awaiting
himself Of the privilege accorded by
the house of representatives previous
TO adjournment, Chairman Cannon. of
the committee on appropriations. has
prepared for the Congressional Record
a more extended statement of the ap-
preparations made by the Fifty-fifth
congress than be made tho day after
adjournment. He places the total APP
preparations for the entire at
l,o66,SJ0,016, and the appropriations
authorized for future congresses under
the continuing contract system for
battleships, river and harbor improve
ments and public buildings ut ST0.000,-
600. The total appropriations made at
the last session Mr.. Cannon places at
S6I3,65S,4 400, showing an apparent re-
duction of S~219,573,214 below the APP
preparations OF the preceding session.
Mr.. Cannon attributes this reduction
to the extraordinary war expenses OF
the preceding session. OF the total
appropriations for the congress he
says that the sum of S4S2. 562,0S3 Is
directly chargeable to the war with
Spain. He thus shows that the ordi-
nary expenditures for the two years
covered by the congress were t,044,-
5SO,213, and this sum exceeds the total
appropriations Of the Fifty-fourth con
gress by 500, T46,65S. This e. cess is
accounted for as follows:
For payment of pensions, S3.S75,20O;
for the postal service, to meet in
creased demands of commerce. &c.,
6l9,5S1; for river and harbor improve.
ments, S3,401. 12S; for constructing
new ships, S6,0S0,S3S; for beginning
the work of the twelfth census, ST.
100000; for the Paris exposition, ST.
100000; for new public buildings, 3d.
100000; for payment Of judgments
against the government under the
Bowman act, and for the French spoil
alton claims, So, 100, 76S. Total, SiO,-
2SI 1916. Mr.. Cannon congratulates
congress and the country upon this
showing and also upon the fact that.
Notwithstanding the war, close atten-
ton was given to the ordinary ex-
penditures of the government, which
is, he thinks, unusual.

Washington. March 1.-THE Italian
tive in Washington. lately laid before
the authorities here it's purpose to ask
of China a port on San Nun bay, and
invited an expression from this gov
eminent as to its attitude. In re-
Spouse it is understood that Secretary
Hay, as well as the president, made
It clear that the United States would
pursue the same course as toward the
Russian, British and German occupa-
ton of Chinese ports, namely. disin-
terested neutrality. The exchanges
have been verbal and rather informal,
more in the nature OF diplomatic
soundings than direct propositions.
They have given occasion 10 erroneous
publications to the effect that Italy
had asked the United States to sup
port her demands OH China, and that
this government, in a pointed note
from Secretary Hay, had refused. 1t
is stated in an eminent and authori-
tative quarter that Italy made no such
request for American support, and
that there was no d~eclination from
this government. The circumstances
of the negotiation as explained in this
authoritative quarter are as follows:
When Italy determined to seek n
port on the Chinese coast she adj
dressed those powers having large in
terests in China. notifying them of her
Owing to the good will be
tween Italy and this country, as we'll

American Interests
In China. a notification was presented
to the state department here. While
Italy is said to have had no desire
through this notification to enlist the
support Of the United States, she was
DESTROYS of pursuing the usual diplo-
matte course when a move of this
character is contemplated, namely,
learn whether the United States would
be either. first, favorable: second. dis
interested; third. opposed. In short,
before proceeding, Italy desired to
know what attitude the United States
would take as to the Italian demand
on China. The reply of Secretary
Hay. which Is said to have been
verbal, was in response TO this notifi-
cation and soundings from the Italian
authorities. In this reply the presi-
dent is said to have given his personai
concurrence. In substance it was an
announcement hat the United States
would in no way change its attitude
as maintained thus far when Great
Britain, Germany and Russia made
advances toward China, but would
continue to observe a position or dis
interestedness. Instead of being a de-
NAL of any request the reply was ac-
cepted by the Italian government as
entirely satisfactory ana as placing 1t
In the same position as other Euro
pean powers who had sought ports in
China. This, it is said, brings the ne
gotiations at Washington TO a close in
a manner entirely satisfactory to the
Italian authorities. The reported ac-
ton OF Italy since then in making Its
demand IN China and following 1t up
with threats Of demonstration have
not been officially communicated here.

portion could be set apart TO be used
