Congressman Livingstone. Ranking Mem
Der of the Minority Committee, Reviews
Appropriations Made by Congress.

Washington, June 9.-Representa-
tive Livingstone, of Georgia, the rank
ing minority member of the house
committee on appropriations, yester-
day made the following statement as
to appropriations from the standpoint
of the minority:
I beg to call to the attention OF the
country the fact that, Notwithstanding
the enormous appropriations for 1900 on
account of the Spanish-Cuban war, the
army and navy appropriations for this
session are O,O0O, 900 in excess of those
for the last session. In every depart
ment of the government we have in
creased at this session the amounts au-
thorized at the last session. And when
to the aggregate we add the amounts
that should have been appropriated at
this session amounts which must be ap-
propriated a the second session of this
congressman as that necessary to COM
plete the Nicaragua canal (the bill hav-
ing passed the house,, carrying authori-
cation of an expenditure of $141 900, 900,
and also that usually appropriated for
rivers and harbors, $16,O00,0 600; and for
public buildings and grounds, $4,000, 600;
and for outstanding claims, estimated at
10000, 000-if, L say, we add $170, 900 to
the sum stated in the table, $709 729, 476,
we would have a grand total of 1919, 49,
476 for this session alone.

A VALUABLE WILD BEAST.
The Gorilla I. an Animal That Il
Hard to Capture and rs AL
ways in Demand

eat the present time there is no
wild animal in such great demand for
exhibition purposes as the gorilla,
said dealer in all kinds of wild beasts
in New York to a Washington Star
writer the other day. "A full-grown
gorilla stands about four feet six
inches high and is worth from $1,000
to 81, 500. They sell easily for such
prices, owing to the fact that they
are rare and very difficult to capture.
Chiefs in the interior of Africa have
been offered large sums if they would
succeed in catching one of these beasts.
Numbers of little gorillas have been
captured at various times, but they
have always pinned away and died in
a short time. She chief difficulty about
the capture of the gorilla is that he
lives in very unhealthy districts where
fevers prevail.
"A white man has to fight the eli
mate as well as the animals. In addd-
ton to the weIl-known ferocity of the
gorilla he is regarded with a supersti-
tious awe by the natives, who have a
legend to the effect that this terrible
beast carries away the women to the
iungles. They also regard the gorilla
as endowed with supernatural powers.
Two men sent out last year by we'll
known German firm that deals in wild
beasts persisted in the wilds of Africa
while seeking for gorillas.
E'It may seem surprising to an Amer
lean. equipped with all the appliances
Of science for the subjugation of the
animal kingdom, that it seems impos-
Sible to capture and cage a gorilla. But
If his fearful strength is considered
9ndi his wonderful shyness, it will prove
20 be not so much matter of surprise
after all. All kinds of suggestions have
been made to hunters with regard to
the devices to be used, such as traps,
pitfalls and like appliances, but none
of these have proved to be successful.
Zone of the largest gorillas ever cap
tured belongs to the Geological gar
dens in London. The animal stands
four feet nine inches high. 1t is SO
valuable that offers of 81, 800 and So, 600
have been made without acceptance"

A Serum, for Lepro.sy.

Some success has attended the treat
ment of leprosy by the injection under
the skin in various parts of the body
of the antivenene of Calmette. The
case, says a foreign exchange, was a
woman Sc years old, and in three
months she received At injections. As
a result she was much improved, hav-
ing lost her leprous expression and the
infiltration in various parts of the body
disappearing. The blush color of the
face changed to a healthy red. Some
liberation that was present disap-
peared with several tubercles. The
skin became softer and fairer and she
gained II pounds in weight.

LEADING A REBELLION.
An American Reported at the Head of a
NIOVement That Is Causing Trouble in
Four Chinese Provinces.

Victoria, D. c., June 9.-According
to news from the Orient brought by
the steamer Idzuma Maru, a rebellion
has broken out in four southern prov
inces of China Kwang Tung, Kwang
ST, KuIe Chow and Human. The re-
bellion is reported by the Shanghai
papers to be under one leader, and an
American is rumored to be one of
the leading spirits. The Canton cor
respondent of the Shanghai paper
says the rebels are busily smuggling
in arms, including large numbers of
quick firing guns. They are said to
number $4,000 and more are daily
joining them. Ii Hung Chang, the
viceroy at Canton, is said to be alive
to the danger, and he is importing
modern munitions of war to arm the
Chinese troops. Five thousand Maui
sers have arrived at Canton out of a
consignment of Is 900 ordered by him.

INVADING KANSAS.
GraInmen and Farmers AIleee That the
Peavey Elevator Trust Is Encroach-
ing on Their Territory.

Salina, Kan, June 9.-The grain
buyers, millers and farmers of cen
trail and western Kansas are greatly
exercised over the advent of the
Peavy Elevator company, of Mime
sofa, into the Kansas wheat belt.
They claim that the northern com
pany is a trust, that it is endeavor-
ing to stife competition, and that
when it succeeds it reduces the price
which it pays farmers for their grain.
To prove these asse&tions attention
is called to the fact that the company
has secured control of As elevators in
central and western Kansas and is
constantly building more. Several in
stances are cited in which it is al
legged the Peavy company has forced
individual elevator men to sell out to
them, and the matter has progressed
so far that an appeal has been made
to the interstate commerce commits
sion for assistance.

BAN ON WHITE GLOVES.
Dunkard Conference Decides Not to Allow

Wabash, Ind, June 9.-The 800 del
egates and $4,000 Dunkard laymen at
tending the national conference at
Manchester dispersed yesterday.
Among the questions passed upon
were: Magnetic healing, which was
left undetermined after a long and
acrimonious struggle, members being
left to practice it. The anti-necl1tie
resolution was defeated, but the res
olution forbidding the wearing of
white gloves and badges by pail
bearers at funerals was adopted.
Strong ground was taken against the
use of tobacco by Dunkards. The
conference vigorously opposed the liq-
uor traffic. Authority to prosecute
a non-member who had slandered him
was refused an elder.

HISTORY MADE BY CONGRESS.
Four Laws Enacted That VIII Leave a De-
cIded Impress on the Nations His
tory-Measures Neglected..

Washington, June 9.-In estimating
the value of the work of the first ses-
sion of the Fifty-sixth congress it will
be found that out of about 200 public
laws, more or less, those which leave
a decided impress on the fortunes of
the United States are only four in
number. An immense amount of i'm
portant legislation is carried, as US
ual, in the great appropriation bills,
but an examination of the acts signed
by the president shows that the work
of congress which will be most dis
cussed during the campaign, and
which may be considered really as
creative legislation, embraces:
First-The new financial bill, with its
provisions for refunding the public debt
Second-The formation OF a complete
territorial government, in many respects
unique in its design, for the Hawaiian
islands.
Third-The enactment of complete
code OF laws for Alaska, with the creation
of a stable government there.
Fourth-and perhaps most important
The law creating a temporary govern
ment for Porto Rico.
This session of congress has been
almost as significant for what it has
not done as for what it has actually
accomplished. Important pieces of
legislation have been brought to the
very verge of actual enactment and
there halted solely for the purpose of
securing more information on the va
rious subjects. There are four I'M
acted parts of the Legislative drama
to correspond with those which have
been played. Radical action against
the trusts and scarcely less mOmen-
tous legislation to secure the build
ing of the Nicaragua canal have ac-
tually passed the house and are still
alive in the senate, where they may
lie passed if desired at the short ses-
sion next winter. The war revenue
taxes have not been touched, inten-
tionally, because it was not deemed
desirable to embarrass the treasury in
any way at the present time AbsO-
lutely nothing has been done in the
way of creating civil government
in the Philippines. Even the Spooner
bill, giving the president ample power
over the islands, has been left high
and dry. The Philippines viii con-
tinue to be governed by the president
under the general war power and
without specific authority from con-
gress.
