 zssz To Prohibit Autos.

The ordinance committee of the board of aldermen met last night to discuss the request of the park commission for an ordinance prohibiting the running of automobiles in East Rock, West Rock and Fort Wooster parks. They passed a vote recommending the passage of such an ordinance and after a short dis cussion the meeting adjourned without doing further business.
 The recommendation for such an or dinance was made recently by the park commission through the efforts of MT. Blake, it's president, who was always opposed to allowing autos in the parks mentioned. He cited several cases where accidents had occurred and where others were narrowly averted.

STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE
Details of ofApproprintions-C s-Compnrisons
 With CleveIand,s sAdmintstrntfon.


 Washington. July 1.-Chairman Can non of the house appropriation commit tee to-day presented statement of the appropriations made at the present ses- sion of congress. showing total of s75o, o,063S37, not including the large amounts that will be required for the isthmian canal, and public buildings and river and harbor contracts. In his statement MT. Cannon says in part:
 "An analysis of this table shows that the total estimated expenditures fore casted by the executive departments aggregated $776,34S.31S; that the total appropria tions made. exclusive of $50,- f30, 900 toward an isthmian canal, aggre- gate $75O,O63,s37."
 After giving in detail the appropria- tions under each bill MT. Cannon says: Tt is not inappropriate here to advert to the fact that the expenditures for the past two fiscal years 1900 and 1901 show that during that period there has been applied to the sinking fund more than $113000,000 a sum greater than the law actually requires and which ex- ceeds the whole amount applied to the extinguishment of the public debt dur ing all of the nine fiscal years from 1891 to 1899 inclusive.
 During the four years of President Cleveland's last administration, from 1893 to 1896 inclusive, only $13, 400, ,047 was applied to the payment of the pub lie debt, while during the same period that administration issued bonds to the extent of $262, ,315, 400 in order to raise money wherewith to pay current ex- penses and maintain the public credit. An analysis of the table which I sub init shows that the appropriations made in the regular annual bills, for ordinary expenses of the government payable during the fiscal year 1903, aggregate $595, ,502, ,705 which, together with the sums carried under permanent appro- priations and exclusive of the amount required by the sinking fund, makes a total of $665, ,423. .925. In the nature of things and in the light of past experi- ence, this entire sum will never be eX- pended, but will probably be reduced in the neighborhood of 10 per cent. The revenues of the government, as now estimated, on the basis of the revenue reduction egislation enacted at this session, amount to $640, ,520 630, The ex- pedintures to be made under the ap- propriations of this session will not ex- ceed $500 100000 or a sum approximat- ing $4O,OOOOOO less than the revenues which we expect to derive under the revenue laws revised by this congress.

The galleries were banked to the doors, and almost two-thirds of the members were in their seats on the floor. The speakers appreciative words to the members in thanking them for their cooperation during the session touched a responsive chord and they gave him remarkable demonstration of their friendship and good will.

 The speaker came down from his ros- trum, his appearance on the floor being greeted with For he's jolly good fel- low" and perfect rush of members to grasp his hand. Standing in the area in front of the clerks desk, he, too, joined in the songs, and there was a wild scene when General Hooker, of Mississippi, the old one-armed Confed- crate veteran, took his place by the side of the speaker and together they sang F Dixie" ..
 Mir Chandler, Mississippi democrat, jumped upon 0 desk let out a yell of jubilation that fairly shook the rafters. For almost half an hour the jubilatfon continued, All this time the spectators remained standing in the galleries watching the animated scene below and joining in the singing.
 The adjournment came at the end of a seven and a half hours session, dur ing which much minor business was transacted. Tn all seventy bills and resolutions were passed. The general good feeling in the house had been heightened by the victory won over the senate on the item in the naval appro- priation bill for the building of bat tleship in a government yard.
 The closing hour was occupied with spirited debate between MT. Cousins, of Iowa, and MT. Richardson, the demo- cratic leader, over the report on the in- vestigation into the charges made by Captain Christmas concerning the sale of the Danish West Indies. Mir. Cous- fms ridiculed Mir. Richardson for bring ing the matter to the attention of con- gress. The latter defended his course.

 DANISH VEST INDIES.
Special House Committee ExOnerates Members of Congress and American Public Ofricials-Captain Christmas Repatriation of the Alleged Report Bribery Could Have Existed Nowhere Save In His Imagination.
Save I'm His Imagination.

Washington, July 1.-Chairman Dal- zell of the special committee of the house of representatives which investi- gated the charges in connection with the purchase of the Danish West India islands to-day submitted the report of that committee. After detailing the charges of bribery and showing that Captain Christmas had repudiated the alleged report on which the charges were based the committee sums up the results of their investigation as fol- lows:
 That there is not the slightest sem blance of evidence that any member of congress, either directly or indirectly, was offered or received any bribe or was paid any valuable consideration of any kind or character to vote for or assist in procuring the proposed adop- tion, or ratification of a treaty of sale of the Danish West Indian islands to the United States. There is not the re- motest ground from which to draw an inference or on which to base conclu- sion that there was any corruption or wrong-doing on the part of the public officials of the United States in eonnec- tion with the negotiation for the pur- chase and sale of the Danish West h. dian islands.
 "It is plain beyond preadventure that the bribery alleged in the report could have existed nowhere save in the inag- ination of Christmas since the whole burden of his story is that he had no money, It is in evidence that he had to borrow in order to pay his passage home from this country"
