WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.
1.-The military budget (army, navy and PEN
sions) Of this country will be nearly $4OO, ,OOO,-
600. It will be nearly twice what any great
European power is spending.
1--WE we're shocked at the idea OF billOn-
dollar congress, and before we know it, we
will have BILLION-DOLLAR SESSION."
Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, made the
above declaration on the floor of the senate.
Senator Allison admitted these statements and
Others. Pressed by the Democrats and Senator
Hale, Mr. Allison gave an offhaud statement of
the enormous sums congress is appropriating at
this session The shipping bill subsidy, the
Pacific cable, the Nicaraguan canal and other
Urge prospective appropriations are not inc.ud-
ed in the total admitted to be inevitable. The
expenditures to be authorized for the army are
only calculated on basis of $I35, 200, 900,
whereas, careful computations show that about
$40. 600, 900 in excess of this sum will be re-
quired
While speaking on the ship-subsidy bill,
Senator Morgan asked Senator Allison what the
appropriations for this session would be.
"The appropriations, including those that
are general appropriations, will be $500, 900, 900
this year. think" Mr.. Allison replied.
Irregular appropriations" Mr.. Morgan asked
in astonishment.
Mr.. Allison replied Irregular appropria-
tions, including what are usually brought for
ward in the estimate as permanent appropria-
tions. OF course, that will include the int crest
on the public debt and probably fifteen or
twenty million dollars which will not be divert
ed. Of regular appropriations, which may be
expended the next fiscal year, there will be
$7oo, o,ooo, ,ooo."
s.I have an impression" declared Mr. Hale,
ssthat the appropriations this year, including
what are reckoned miscellaneous appropriations,
will be nearer $500, 200, 900 than 500, ,ooo, ,ooo
Reluctantly, Mr. Allison admitted what Mr..
Hale said was true, saying: "They will be,
including the permanent appropriations, but no
one can say now what the estimates OF miscel-
laneous will be, nor can any one say wha the
river aud harbor appropriations will be. The
estimate / make of $3.50, 100000 includes
only $1,000, 900 for miscellaneous appropra-
tions. OF course they will be larger than that. y
"They will be very much more than that, "
said Mr.. Hale, impiessively.
"They probably will be $4,000, ,ooo," Mr..
Allison admitted. "The deficiencies are esti-
mated at about $50, 200, ,ooo They may be
more. In round numbers, the appropriations
tof the next fiscal year probably will be from
$3.50, 200, 900 to $3.50, 200, ,ooo."
''We have not found any place yet where we
could cut off anything" remarked Mr.. Hale
.The tide, immensely swollen heretofore, il
more swollen and more turbid."
"And still rising" interjected Mr.. Spooner.
"And still rising" repeated Mr.. Hale.
"And rapidly rising" Mr.. Allison said.

home-seekers come from mostly?"
Mr.. Fee was asked.
MOSTLY from the middle western
states. Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri,
Indiana, Michigan, Kansas and Ohio

immigration to the northwest. The
people who buy their farms are" peo-
pie who take two jumps to get to
Montana and the west. who get tired
of trying to make a living out of the
unproductive soil of the New England
and Atlantic states. There is a grad

English dissatisfaction with the sit
uation in South Africa is reported to
be increasing daily. Sir Alfred Mil
ner, British high commissioner in
South Africa, and General Kitchener,
the British commander-in-chief, are
said to be at outs. Miner is now in
England, and is in no hurry to go back
to Africa as long as Kitchener is
there. Kitchener added to his grow
ing unpopularity by sending back to
England Colonel Baden-Powell, who
commanded the English forces at the
siege of Mafeking and has ever since
been one of the great war heroes with
the British public. To Baden-Powell
was assigned the task of organizing
the South African constabulary. a
body of semi-military police, whose
duty it is to preserve order in the re-
gions pacified by the troops. The
Lord of Khartoum held that Baden
Powell's work in this respect was not
satisfactory. Besides this irritation
with Kitchener it has been found out
through the revelations of the London
Daily Mail that the government has
been suppressing most important
news, such as that after the recent
battle at Vlakfontein the victorious
Beers shot wounded soldiers. Final
ly British officers returning from the
front admit that after nearly two
years of war the British as yet hold
but little in the Boer republics except
points on the railroad, while the north
ern part of Cape Colony continues to
be harassed by rebels and invading
BOer commanders.

Filipino general and his command to
surrender, but under his signature to
the oath he wrote prisoner in Mala-
canaan prison." Naturally, the appen-
dix to the signature would not have
much effect in the direction of induc-
ing his countrymen to surrender, in
asmuch as the signing of the original
oath some months ago was supposed
to secure to him all the rights and
liberties of an American citizen. Per-
haps it would be the best plan to
loose" him and let him go, with the
warning that any signs of a relapse
would bring him in imminent danger
of broken neck. Aguinaldo isn't
bad sort and is probably worth taking
a chance on. as he has doubtless seen
enough of American government to
convince him that his interests lie in
the direction of observing his oath and
that peaceful work will accomplish
more for his countrymen than hostili-
ties. And he will probably be much
more useful in promoting peace if set
entirely free than when signing him.

NO NEED TO DISCOUNT.
Holders Of Bounty Claims Will be
Able to Cash Them at Par.


The discounting of scrip on wolf or
coyote hides by the hunters, which
has commenced owing to the funds be-
ing exhausted, at rates varying from
Is to 80 cents on the dollar, is an I'M
necessary proceeding if the wolfers
are in position to wait for a few
months only until the taxes begin to
come in again. The early exhaustion
of the funds this year was due to the
payment of so many old claims. These
have all been paid off and the special
effort made by the hunters to get the
large reward offered by the new law
has resulted in the speedy extermin-
alton Of considerable portion of the
surplus population of wolves and coy
Otes, so that from now on the animals
will not be so plentiful At present
the claims unpaid, and which cannot
be paid until some time in the au-
tumn, amount to $4,000. This figure
is being rapidly increased by numer
GUS claims daily received by Clerk
Davidson of the state board. At the
present rate the claims will exceed
$4,000, and perhaps may reach an
amount half again as much before the
paying of them begins.
while the bounty fund is practical
ly exhausted" said Mr.. Davidson, in
speaking of the matter, there will be
enough money to settle all claims in
the autumn, we believe. The claims
are filed in the order of their receipt,
and they will be paid in the same or
der. This means first come, first
served and explains the eagerness
with which the hunters send their
statements to the board"
The bounty fund will be replenish-
ed when the collection of licenses be-
gins this autumn. The special tax
paid by cattlemen will also add a
large sum to the fund before the end
of the year. It is the special tax upon
which the fund principally depends,
and when this money begins coming
into the state treasury claim snow be.
ing filed will be paid off quickly and
the payments will then keep up with
the claims.
Claimants of bounty money are hur.
rying their statements of the number
killed in order to be as nearly as pos.
sible among the first to be paid off
They know that there is no money
and they wish to have a share in the
first collections of funds for the pay
ment of bOunties.

PUNISHMENT FOR CONTEMPT.


PUNISHMENT FOR CONTEMPT.
The friends of Judge DuBose on the
coast are making such complete and
extensive arrangements for his COM
fort, in the event of his commitment
for contempt Of court, that his i'm
prisonment will be in the nature of
period of rest cure. Expensive car
pets, easy chairs, porcelain bath, pot
ted plants, etc, are on the list, ac-
cording to reports from Seattle. There
are many farcical occurrences con-
nected with the administration of JUS
tice in this great and glorious repub-
lie, but contempt cases present ele-
ments of spurious graveness probably
unequaled in any other direction. It
will not be at all surprising, if this
travesty Of justice continues as it has
been moving in the past few years, to
hear that bill has been presented to
the government by some of the injunc-
ton ignorers for extra expenses in
Cured for champagne, etc, while serv-
ing sentence. Then we shall have the
prisoners" friends entering claims for
time or salary lost while entertaining
the unfortunate victim who stood firm
for the principles he believed in and
the DEGREES he promulgated and which
he considered were vastly wiser from
legal standpoint than those of the
superior judge who turned him
down." Perhaps it would be a good
idea to enlist the services of those
wise Chicago university professors
who pronounce Rockefeller greater
than Shakespeare, and gravely inform
us that Sunday school hymns are dog
gerel and destructive of the literary
education of children. IN the formula
ton of a code to make the punish
ment for contempt fit the crime, and
as a starter we offer them the sug-
gestion that judges who fout their
superiors be condemned to earn their
salaries trying cases in which their
decisions shall stand reversed the mo-
ment they are rendered This pro-
cedure would hardly be more ridicu-
lous than demanding and expecting
respect from citizens for the decis-
ions of minor judges who decline in
turn to yield respect to superior judg-
es and who when sentenced to punish
ment therefor are allowed to enjoy
all the privileges and luxurious ap-
pointments found in expensive hotels.
1t somehow seems as if offences not
punished with heavy fine or imprison-
ment with plain fare and hard labor,
were unworthy the attention of a
court of any description, no matter
whether the offender were a magis-

WAIVE THE CERTIFICATES.
Plan to Save Annoyance to Export
erS AT Landing Points

j. r. Stevenson. customs agent of the
Southern Pacific Company. in a letter re-
ceived at the Treasury Department yester-
day relating to bonds covering merchan-
disc shipped in transit, said:
Numerous shipments arrive at the port
Of San Francisco consigned to us on
through bills of lading for transportation
to New York and New Orleans by rail
and expectation thence by sea to ports
in Mexico. Central America, Cuba and
Europe. 1t is difficult to obtain landing
certificates. especially in countries where
customs officers will not affix their seals
to certificates written IN English and
thereby require the consIgnors either to
submit sworn trauslations to such officers
or TO have their certificates verified by
United States Cousuls."
MIR. Stevenson says that a eertiflcte from
the collector of the port of exit in this
country is considered sufficient FOR the
cancellation of bonds when the merchan-
disc is in transit from Canada for exporta-
tfOn by sea and that II concession equal
to that enjoyed by Canadian exporters
would be advantageous TO forwarders in
the United States.
Assistant Secretary SpauIding in answer
TO a request for favorable consideration
of the application, held yesterday that no
valid reason was apparent for the waving
of landing certificates in the one case and
their requirement in the other He adj
vised the Collector of Customs at San
Francisco that bonds covering merchan-
disc forwarded on through bills Of lading
under section 3015 of the Revised Statutes,
and exported by sea on regularly eStab-
lished lines OF vessels plying between the
United States and any foreign port ma

cate from the Collector OF Customs at the
