Ologist and authority on volcanolOgy. de-
clares there is danger that all the West

The appropriations to be made by Con
rress at the present session do not threat
en- to exceed the appropriations Of thu
last session, but. on the contrary, proba-
bly, will fall a few millions short. The
appropriations made at the last session
of Congress amounted to S7300OO,oO,
and did rot include the river and harbor
bill. A river and harbor bin carrying d.
rect appropriation of S29000,oU viii be
passed this session. The total appropra-
tons of this session. including that bill,
will probably be $3.50. 0oo,o0U. Thus II
the river aud harbor bin had been passed
at the last session the total would have
been $759000,000, preventing therefore
the contrast with the probable appropria-
tons of this session favorable TO the
present Congress. The appropriations for
1895 made at last session nf the Fifty
fourth Congress amounted to S4Sb,JO0,-
600 that being the last fiscal year be
fore the beginning OF the Spanish Anieri-
can war. The following year, which COW

cutting that war. the appropriations
| amounted to $780,. 100000. In lS9S, the
army bill carried nearly $23,0O0,0O0,
while for the coming fiscal rear the bill
will probably carry 500 100000. The
naval bill for the year 1898 appropriated
| $3.50 100000, and the naval bill OF this
season will carry probably STS,000,0O0.
