MIR. Cannon Makes An Alarming States

made statement in the House to-day
regarding the expenditures and receipts
for the coming fiscal year. For the cur

preparations were s69. 100000: the miscel-
laneous appropriations. including the om-
nipus public building bill, were SO. G00. 900;
the deficiencies already aggregated ST.

The apparent excess of appropriations

laid that the treasury contained great
}urplus, observed Mr.. Cannon,if any of the
great pending enterprises was undertaken
The surplus would vanish like the mist
before the sun.
He said he did not desire to be an alarm
