MORE DEFICIENCY
Is Provided For by an Appro-
priation Bill in Senate.

Washington. May 23-Soon after the
senate convened today Mr. Hale, Cde)
from the appropriations committee re-
ported bill making additional appro-
prlatlons supplying urgent deficiencies IN
the apprOpria lions for the present fiscal
year. AS the bill passed the house it
carried an appropriation of $S1, 500 and
the senate committee added S98, 800. The
principal additions We're for printing for
the navy and interior departments. The
bill WAS passed.
Mr. Hale said it had been suggested
that he move a conference and that the
conferees of the senate be instructed not
to yield any of the senate amendments.
but he did not think it wise to hedge
about the confereeS with any instruc-
tions- No action therefore was taken as
to the appointment Of conferees.
Mr.. Stewart, New chairman of the
Indian affairs committee offered a joint
resolution which, he said, met some OBJ
jections of the president to the Indian
appropriation bill. The resolution pro-
vided for the modification of certa in
provisions of the Indian appropriation
bill relating to the making of allotments
to the Indians of the Spokane Indian
reservation, to the payment to certain
Indians of an amount aggregat ting $70-
064 and to the settlement of the Indian
lands.
The resolution was passed
At the conclusion Of the morning bust
ness the army appropriation BILL with
the message from the house asking for
conference with Instructions to its
cOnferees not to agree to the senate
amendments relating to the construc-
ton of barracks and quarters at estab-
ished military posts, thus striking out
the appropriation for such buildings in
Manila, was laid before the senate
Mr.. Proctor, in charge of the bill, said
it was new and unusual condition
presented. To bring the matter up he
moved that the senate agree to the
conference asked.
Mr.. Spooner said it was of the utmost
consequence that there should be the
utmost harmony between the two
branches Of congress, but it was just
as necessary that there should be full
and free conferences. He thought~the
procedure of the house was inadn7issi-
bic and if the senate acquiesced now
in the proposition made. there would be
no end TO the trouble which would
arise.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington. May 23.=UpOn the con-
venIng of the house today Mr. Wads-
worth IN V presented the conference
report on the agricultural bill for print
ing in the Record, according to the rule
adopted yesterday and gave notice that
he would call it UP on Monday next.
The following bills We're passed: To
rediyide the district of Alaska into
three recording and judicial districts; for
the promotion of first lieutenant: JOS
NJ. SiInmS, revenue cutter service.
The house disagreed to the senate
an endments to the bill to prevent the
false branding or marking of food or
dairy products and asked for a confer
ence.
The house then proceeded to the con-
sideration Of private pension bills.

BUSINESS REVIVAL IN CHINA.

Business has been resumed in China
apparently with increased activity. The
official publication of the Chinese gov
eminent, Returns Of Trade and Trade
Reports for the Year 1901. which has
Just reached the treasury bureau of
statistics, shows that railroad construe-
ton has been actively resumed in sew
eral Of the provinces; that practically
1000 miles of railway are now in oper-
alton and that several hundred miles
viii be added during the present year;
while the record of the foreign commerce
presented by the report shows that the
imports into China in the year 1901 were
larger than those of any preceding
year. The total value of the imports is
given as 1892. 97S. 100. The exports are
valued at 1922. 153, 600, and exceed those
of any prior year except 1899.
From the United States the imports
in 1901 were valued at 1854. 500; in
1899 SI7.163.312 The imports from th9
United States have increased about $50
per cent. since 1894. while the exports to
the United States in 1901 were prac
tically the same as those of 1894.
American merchandise continues 10

statement of the statistical secretary.

report. American heavy goods" he
says, continue to find favor drills from
that country having now reached 1919
626 pieces. or more than double the i'm
portatons of 1900; while sheetings rose
to 2.S40518 pieces japanese goods also
show progress, Japanese shirtings hav-
Ing risen from /. 1856 to a. 29 pieces. Grey
and white shirtings were about the
same. amongst them being included
growing importation of American goods.
Owing to the fall in exchange and the
DEAFNESS Of cotton in America and

during the year for cheaper qualities
of cotton goods. which was rather a re-
versal OF the tendency Of late years.
