Washington. Nov. 2S-Representa-
tive Pierce of Tennessee has been look
ing over possible estimates OF appro-
priation bills and believes the COM
ing session Will appropriate as much
as s6o0.000,ovU, making considerably
over a billion and a half of dollars
for the congress.
"A large item of appropriations"
said Mr.. Pierce tonight, consists of
deficiencies. The secretary of war.
for example, says he is going to cut
down the appropriation for the mill
tary establishment. His recommends
TOMS are adopted, and the new bill
will show decrease as compared with
the last bill. Then the deficiency
expenses commence 10 come In. and
a careful examination would doubt.

priations make little difference be-
tween current expenses and those OF
the last few years"
Mr.. Pierce expects TO go into the
subject fully during the coming SEES
sion. He Is member OF the sub
committee on deficiencies OF the ap.
preparation committee and will give

A Conference VIII be Held Early In

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 23.--1'he propo-
sition 10 have the anthracite mine

sion, which became publicly known
Friday. remains In the same indefinite
form ms when the Development first
became known. Both sides waited for
the commission TO adjourn, and II Is
probable that conferences will be held
early next week. Where these meet
ings win be held has not yet been de-
elded upon. nor Is IL known who on
each side will conduct the negotia-
tions.
While most Of those Interested ex-
press the belief that the two parties
will be able 70 agree themselves, there
are some who can see no good in the
new movement. IL seems almost cer-
tain that the miners will stand out
strongly for contract with the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, instead
of yearly contracts and conferences
between each company and the men it
directly employees as proposed by the
operators. On two Of the other de-
in wages and a short
er workday-a compromise, it is
thought. can readily be made.
The commission adjourned, satur-
day, until December 3.nnd most OF the
commissioners and out-of-town attor-
neysimmediately left for their homes.

THE ORDER CONCERNING THE
DIPPING OF SHEEP OUT OF
THE STATE.
Secretary Of Agriculture James Wilson
insists That Sheep Intended To Be
Shipped from One State To An
other Shall Be Clean to Prevent
Spread of Disease.

Sheepmen of Wyoming will be great
ly relieved by a message which Gov
ornOr Richards received yesterday
evening from Secretary James Wilson
OF the bureau of animal industry. says
the Cheyenne Tribune of Sunday. The
message stated that the order of the
department concerning the dipping of
sheep shipped from m state to IN
other had been roscinded as far as Wy
oming was concerned.
The order in question was issued a
week ago and ordered all owners of
sheep contemplating shipping from one
state into another to nave their flocks
dipped under government inspection
at the point of shipment. This was
done to prevent the spread of infections
diseases from state to state.
The order came like a thunderbolt to
Wyoming sheepmen who were at the
time preparing to ship about 500, 900
head of sheep to Colorado feeding
yards for the winter. They were to-
tally u~nprepared to comply with the
order ard TO have done so would have
caused them serious loss. Range grass
in Wyoming has been very scarce Of
late and the question of holding the
sheep. even for as short a period of
time as a week. presented a formidable
question.
Realizing the injustice of the order.
as far as those ready to ship We're con
cprned. and the position in which it
placed Wyoming tlockmasters. Cover
nor Richards Immediately took up the
matter with the bureau of animal in
dustry with the result above noted.
Tho only point insisted upon by the
bureau is that the sheep shipped be
clean. As this is the case. there will
he no delay in shipping and thousands
of dollars which would have been lost
had the order beer enforced will be
saved to Wyomingites.
