The general debate upon the river and
harbor bill was then resumed and Mr.. Rams
dell Of Kentucky, a member OF the COM
mittee. defended the appropriations for

Mr.. Burton, in charge OF the bill, in
closing the general debate answered the
criticisms advanced against st. He stated
hat the committee had considered projects
submitted TO 1t and he appealed to MEM
bers 70 vote down all amendments offered.
The bill was then read for amendment
under the i've minute rule. Mr.. Fitzgerald.
New York. offered an amendment to appro-
pirate $500, 900 for widening and deepening
Buttermlk channel, New York harbor. He
mad a earnest plea for the adoption Of
the amendment. Mr.. Reeves, Of Illinois. in
reply. stated that the commercial interests
OF New York had informed the COMMITTEES
that they did not desire to press the i'm
provement OF Buttermilk channel at this
time. The Bay Ridge, channel was to be
completed at a cost Of 81. 500, 900 and a deep
water channel was to cost four million. The
committee therefore believed that no sp-
preparation should be made for Buttermilk
channel.
Mr.. Mcclellan. New York, called attention
to the fact that all the commercial bodies
Of New York. last year had passed resolu-
lions in favor Of the Buttermilk channel
Mr.. Burton said he himself was surprised
that those who had advocated It in the last
congress did not press It at this time
Personally. he had regarded 1t as more
important than Bay Ridge channel. but this
year those who pressed It last year de-
ciared a was no longer important

Work for Legislators.
[Evening Record

Tho biggest proposition that lie
legislature will run up agalnt next
winter will be that of taxatlon and
appropriations. Those who are ia.
milisr with the financial condition Of
the State, are already studying the
m:tter, and they sea breakers ahead.
Tue State has to borrow S3OO,OOO
this year. Other treasurera have
had to supply deficits in the receipts
80 as to tide the State over until
taxes come in, but this time it ap-
pears that even when taxes come IN
the deficit cannot be wiped out. This
is & serious condition nf affairs and
the prospect is that the next l"gisia-
turn will have to practlca the strict
EFT ecouomy. Appropriations during
tie past year or 'wo have been OF IN
extraordinary character. For IN
stance there was an appropriation OF
$4,000 to the Charleston exposition.
Then 100000 WAS lauded to the
pensions, and rs usual Winthrop came
in for it's annual demand far above
it's ordinary appropriation.
These are but few of the largest
appropriations, and in them may be
included final payment on the State
HOUSE. This and the Charleston
exposition may be eliminated from
the consideration in this years estl
mates but still the Legislature will
find itself "hard up" to meet the Or
dinary expenditures.
