O1O,OSO-Items Showing for What
Purpose a Large Portion Of the
Money Was Appropriated.

Washington, March 5.-Senator AL

appropriations, has made a state
ment regarding the amount of money
appropriated by the present congress

tai appropriation for the present con-
gress, he stated, was 1854, 10S.51S, as
compared with Sl,44O,4s9,43S for the
Fifty-siXth congress.
It was a curious, but necessary
thing, he said, to make this compar-
ison more in detailthan by a mere
statement of aggregates. The first
and most important item included in
this statement for the present con-
gress is IN appropriation of $50, $780,
900 for the Panama canal, which, he
said, accounts for nearly one-half of
the increase.
The Postal Service.
