DISTRICT BILL TO WAIT
UNTIL AFTER HOLIDAYS
Expected 1t Will Be Reported to House
About February Estimates
Likely to Be Cut.

The District appropriation bin will rot
be taken up by the subcommittee of
the House Committee on Appropriations
committee is now hard at work on the
legislative, executive, and judicial ap-
preparation bill. in an effort TO nave IL
reported before the adjournment for the
holidays on Saturday.
1t is probable that Mr.. McClearv.
chairman of the subcommittee having
in charge the District appropriation bill.
will take up the District estimates about
the middle Of January, but IL is not
likely the bill VIII be reported much IL
any before the first of February.
notwithstanding the Assessors report
calls attention to the fact that the
United States Government owns 81, 600
COO worth of property in the District of
Columbia more than do the citizens. the
members of the Committee on Appro-
priations are not inclined to favor any
change from the half-and-half principle
of paying District expenses. on the
contrary they are disposed TO consider
that the arrangement is most favorable
to the District, and that the people OF
Washington should be satisfied with
what they get from the Federal Govern
ment and keep quiet.
1t is likely the estimates Of the Com
missioners will be cut down in a number
Of particulars. The subcommittee will
grant hearings to the officials of the
local government and to a number OF
other persons who are interested in va
rious improvements

AN IMPLEMENT OF WAR.

Bukkharasovalskivic Conglomerato- vitchinskiralcsaki, the Servian revolu- tionist, stood beneath the palace walls.
 As the lender of his daring band it had fallen to his lot to effect an en- trance into the palace and open the way for his companions to follow.
 But when he reached the palace he found every door and window doubly locked and barred against him.
 Did he despair? Not he.
 Swiftly unwrapping his name, he ap- piled a little oil and deftly sawed his way through iron, wood, steel and stone.
 Soon the signal flew from the outer battlements and ere long the hoarse shouts of the conflict awakened the spe- eial correspondents of the American newspapers.
 On the next day the gallant patriot, Bukkharasovalskivic Conglomerato- vitchinskiralcsaki, was honored above all others.
 9 For, had he not sacrificed ten conso- nants and three vowels from his name that his country might be freed from the yoke of the tyrant? < Yet even then he said that he regret ted he had only one name to sacrifice tor his country. Chicago Tribune.
