TO CONFER ON DISTRICT NEEDS.
Commissioner to Explain Estimates
to Appropriations Committee.


to Appropriations Committee.
The District Commissioners are busily
engaged preparing for their conferences
with the House Appropriations Com
ruittee. Representative McCleary. chair
man of the committee, has informed the
Board that the first work of the commit
tee would be the consideration Of the
District bill, and the Commissioners were
invited to conferences on the proposed
measure beginning next Monday at 10
O'Clock.
The District appropriations bill is
framed upon the annual estimates sent
to Congress by the Commissioners,
through the Secretary of the Treasury. It
is always necessary for the Board and the
heads OF departments TO appear before
the Appropriations Committee of the
House and explain the several amounts
asked for in the estimates and to give
the committee reasons fer granting the
items CT increase asked for
After conferences with the District Of
fciaIs. usually lasting from three days to
week. the committee frames the bill
and reports ii to the House of Represen-
tatives at such time as seems most pro-
pitious. The bill then goes through the
regular routine and is passed by the
House.
After the District bill reaches the Sen
ate it is referred to the Senate Committee
on Appropriations, where the same pro-
cess is repeated The usual practice is
for the House to report and pass the bill
after having reduced numerous items IN
the bill as it deems expedient- 1t is
amended in the Senate and necessary
items are added. the bill generally being
enacted as it leaves the Senate committee
The situation this year is somewhat
complicated because Of the exercise Of
the prerogatiye Of the Secretary Of The
Treasury in recommending p substantial
reduction in the estimates sent up l. the
Commissioners. The aggregate es mates
this year were upwards of Sl00c0-O00 and
Secretary Gage. in reporting them 70 Con
gTsSS. recommended that they lie reduced
TO the sum of $7,500,0o0.
This recommendation is not considered
binding either upon the District Commis-
sioners or upon Congress, aud there IS
small likelihood that the views Of the
secretary OL tuS 14Se~So-- VIZ
But IN view Of the recommendation and
the letter of the Auditor of the State and
other departments accompanying the rec
orrendatiOn the Commissioners feel that
every. effort must be made TO keep the
expenses Of the municipality within or be
low the estimates
Since the opening Of Congress he Com
missioners have been active IN getting
ready 10 meet the committees and 20 pre-
sent the needs Of the District without
fear or favor It IS also understood that
the President has been consulted and mat
ters placed before him.

Carnegie Offer Natter.
Senator Hanna called at the White
House today and discussed briefly with the
President Mr.. Carnegie's proposed gift of
iiO0OO, 600 for the endowment Of higher
1lucation.
The perplexfties o: the situation are
being gone over in detail by the Presi-
dent and prominent members of both
houses Of Congress. The fact that the
fund is said to be in bonds of the United
States Steel Company appears to be the
most serious point at issue.
No recommendation viii be made by
The President in regard to Mr.. Carnegie's
offer until he has Investigated the matter
thoroughly Such investigation viii last
so long possibly that his message con-
cerning the proposition may not go to the
Capitol until after the Christmas recess.
The proposed gift Of Mr. Carnegie was
discussed at the Cabinet meeting today.
1t was said after the meeting that it was
hoped the embarrassment which has
arisen from the fact that the gift was
offered in the form of bonds of the
United States Steel Corporation could be
overcome. The hope is that Mr. Carnegie
viii change the form of the gift.

N0RDICA'S SUIT ABSURD.
So Declare Authorities Anent the
Reported ss.ooO,oOO Action.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Dec. 13.-The
report from Sioux City, Iowa, about Nine.
Nordica's contemplated suit for $4,000. .0CO
against the United States based on the
losses at sea of her ancestor Iehabod Nor
ton is apparently a preposterous one
according TO authorities here.
Henry B. Worth. of this city, who is
writing history of Nantucket, and who
is acquainted with the geneaIogy of the
Norton family, and who is an authority
on spoliation claims, says that perhaps
Nine Nordica was a descendant from
the Norton family of Nantucket, and
Marthas Vineyard. and perhaps her claim
was based on a statement which appeared
under the head Of French spolations in
the report of the Secretary of State, 1884,
Mr.. Worth says:
The period for the present French
spoliation claims expired over ten years
ago, and without any further act of Con-
gress no further claim can be present

Chairman Payne Of the Ways and
Means Committee today submitted to the
House the majority report OF that com
mittee upon the Philippine tariff bill It
says in part:
The Bill Explained.
This bill is designated to raise revenue
for the Government and benefit OF the
Philippine archipelago. 1t is intended to
restore the status which existed prior to
the late decision Of the Supreme Court in
the Diamond Rings case Prior TO that
decision the Government had been col
Iecting duties on goods coming into the
United States from the Philippines, at the
same rates as those provided in our tariff
for like articles imported from foreign
countries This bill extends the rates
now existing upon Imports from foreign
countries to articles brought from the
Philippine Islands
To Raise Revenue
The object has been and is to raise
sufficient revenue to support a govern
ment in the Philippines, TO provide amply
for the education of the people, to open
up the highways OF commerce both for
eign and domestic, and to provide ample
police force for the preservation of or
der. Three different forms OF tariff in
force there have produced a surplus Of
revenue after paying the expenses Of the
Government.
The necessity for a continuance Of rev
enue which shall be both ample and Ger
tain is imperative.
Our Government has gene to work
Systematically through the commissioners
for the improvement Of the harbCr Of
Manila. Roads are being constructed and
4he building of roads in this tropical coun-
trv Is expensive All OF these expeudi-
lures are preparing a way fer the re-
duction Of the army and navy and viii in
the end prove Of direct benefit to the
taxpayers of the United States
The bill also provides for the colIec-
tion OF tonnage taxes on vessels plying
between the ports Of the United States
and the Philippine Archipelago.
Americans Handicapped.
AT present our own people who ship
goods to these Islands are handicapped
by the internal revenue tax, and duties
paid upon foreign goods imported here
and used IN the manufacture of articles
sent to the Philippines. The sixth cause
of the proposed bill is designed TO rem
edy this
The bill provides that the duties and
taxes shall not go into the general fund
of the Treasury Of the United States, but
paid into the Treasury of the Philip
pine Islands to be used and expended for
these Islands.
To Meet Emergency.
The object Of the bill is to meet q
pressing emergency practically and elf
GENTLY We present the tariff act of the
Commission as the best that can be de-
vIsed in the limited .3me left for Us to
act"
To &c Called Up On Tuesday.
An agreement was reached whereby the
tariff bill will be called up on Tuesday
and it will be discussed on that day and
Wednesday The vote will be taken at
o'clock on the latter day.
After Representative Payne had sub
mItted the majority report, Representa-
tive Richardson presented that OF the mi
nority. which was ordered printed with
the majority report.
