Figures Are Quoted by the Chair
Men of Committees.

Washington, March T.-(Spl.)-Rep.
resentative Cannon, chirman of the
House Committee on Appropriations,
and Representative Livingston, the Sc
nier Democratic member of the COM
mittee, have prepared statements of
the appropriations of the Fifty Sixth
Congress. Both place the total appro-
priations for the Congress at S1,440,
O62, ,545, placing those for the first ses-
sion at $40, 150S62 and for the second
at $T29,911.6S3 Mr.. Cannon publishes
table showing the expenditures of
the previous Congress at 81 ,56S, 212, ,637.
and Mr.. Livingson makes IL comparison
with the Fifty-fourth Congress, which
appropriated $1,544, 4,5SO,273.
Mr.. Livingston says in his statement:
"The Fifty-fourth Congress was the
last one that made appropriations for
the support of the government prior to
the beginning of the Spanish-American
war.
''Tbe Fifty-siXth Congress is the first
Congress appropriating for the support
of the government since the close of the
so-called Spanish-American war. The
difference between the appropriations
by the Fifty-sixth Congress and those
made by the Fifty-fourth Congress
amounts to $685., 5,4S2,272.
During the session just closed the
demands of the people, through their
representatives, for the construction
of the Nicaragua Canal, have gone un.
needed; for new public buildings they
have been persstently denied. The
river and harbor bill has been permit
ted to fail. The payment of just claims
of honest people against the govern
ment has not been provided for.
st is doubtless conceived to be wis
dom on the part of the leadership of
the dominant party in Congress and the
Administration to have denied these
just demands Of the people in order to
provide for this enormous increase in
expenditures that is almost wholly re-
quired in order to support the increased
military establishments that has been
inaugurated under the policy of the
Republican party.

''The most casual examination Of
this table makes comment practically
unnecessary. 1t shows that the army

Spanish American war cost little
over $23,000,0O0, and but little more
than $46,0O0,000 for the two years
covered by the Fifty-fourth Congress,
while for the army for each of the
two years since that war, 1901 and
1902, it costs nearly Sl15,0O0,000, or

SEALED INDICTMENTS.
Reported that They Have Been Re-
turned Against Two Men for the
Murder of n millionaire.

Savannah, Mo-, March 21.-A story
is in circulation here to the effect
that sealed indictments were re-
turned by the special grand jury
against two men for the murder of
Millionaire Frank w. Richardson,
who was killed at the door of his
wife's bedroom on the night of De-
cember "a. 1t is said that the in
dictments will not be made public
until after Mrs. Addie Richardson,
who was recently indicted for murder
in the first degree, shall have been
tried for the crime.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Richardson
will give evidence against the two
men if she shall be acquitted of the
charge for which she has been indict-
ed. Had the indictments been made
public and The two men arrested
when Mrs. Richardson was indicted,
she could not, it is argued, have tes-
tilted against them without turning
states evidence and sharing in their
punishment. Mrs. Richardson is to
be tried on May 27.

WITH GIANT STRIDES.
Anne rIcan Manufacturers Are Rapid-
~ Gaining Pre-eminenee I'm the
Worlds Market

Washington, March 21.-In a report
to the state department Consul Cen
eral Guenther at Frankfort, Ger
many, submits recent publication
in which the Frankfort chamber of
commerce calls attention to the
growing American competition in the
markets of the world.
The publication says that the har-
Dor authorities of Calcutta advertised
for bids on two locomotives. The
lowest English bid was $7,349 for
each one, the time of the delivery to
be limited to nine months; the low
est American bid was S5,99S, the time
of delivery to be limited to six
months. The American firm re-
ceived the contract.
A recent contract for furnishing a
large quantity of cast iron pipes for
the Dutch colonies was awarded to
an American firm. whose bid was
nearly % per cent lower than Ger
man competition. Large orders for
rails were placed recently in Amer
lean hands from Holland. The Eng
lish government has been obliged to
give the Americans preference over
their own works on account of the
extremely low prices and the quick
time of delivery.
The state department has received
from Consul Halstead, at Birming
ham, a report stating that the Bir-
mingham Mail is responsible for the
statement that English tube makers
by excessive demands at the last bid
ding forced the Birmingham gas com
mittee to purchase American-made
tubing for fittings.
The British quotations, says the
consul, were so high that an Amer
lean firm succeeded in selling tubing
"at a figure which no one in England
could touch, and not only was the
price cheap, but the quality was
vastly superior"
Although the combina tion, says the
CONSUL in conclusion, is not so strong
this year, so satisfactory has the
American product proved that it will
hardly be surprising if the gas com
mittee, now ready for new pur-
chase, asks for tenders from Amer
lea"

tives found the warmest spots in the
hearts of the Oriental officials. Mr..
Sonokichi said that the American en-
gines, which cost fully one-third less
than those bought in England, did
better work with the use of less
fuel.

ODELL DEFIES PLATT.
New York's Governor Says He Will
Veto the Police Bill If the LegisIa-
ture passes II.

Albany, y. Y, March 21.-Gov. Odell
has positively and formally declined
to sign any police bill, and repudiat-
ed the new bill drawn by Senator
Platt and his friends, and said last
night that if the bill came to him he
would veto it. even if it was made
plain that it would be passed over
his veto.
Frank Platt, son of Senator Thorn
as c. Platt, arrived here last night
with the newly prepared bill. 1t
provides for the reinstatement of the
metropolitan police bill of 1857, but
including some territory contiguous
to New York City. 1t also provides
that, without disturbing the present
conditions in New York City, the gov
ernor shall appoint commissioner,
whose right to the Office should be
Immediately questioned in the courts
and who, in the interim, should not
interfere with the present police ar
rangements in New York City. II
the bill was declared unconstitutional
then the state should at once assume
control of the police.
Mr.. Platt told the governor that
the bill had been decided upon by
those representing the republican or
ganizaton and he desired a decision
as to the governors attitude on the
measure. His suggestion was that
the governor should send in mes
sage suggesting the passage of the
measure. The governor replied that
he could not see the reason for such
legislation now. He had repudi-
ated special legislation in his annual
message, and the party had agreed
with him. He had signed a New
York City police bill and the party
had agreed with him. Finally he
said:
81 will not send in a message urg-
ing such bill. If possible | will re-
main on friendly terms with Senator
Platt, but if such bill comes to me
I will veto it. If the Legislature cares
to take the responsibility of passing
the bill over my veto, very well, but
refuse to be man of clay and | will
not stultify myself"
