ESTIMATES FoR 1so7.
Senate and Houso Cemmfttees Fore

Senate and House Cemmittees Fore
 cast AppropriatlOns.
 Washington, Dec. 8.-A statement was issued by the Appropriations Com. mittees of the Senate and House today summarizing the estimates for appro- priations to be made at the present session of Congress for the fiscal year 1907. The total for all purposes aggre- gates $S04.296,415. F
 These estimates are greater than the appropriations for the current year by $19.170,l55.
 The War Department asks $s63.16S less than was appropriated last year, and the River and Harbors item. whicn last year amounted to $1S.1S1,s75, IS omitted entirely this year. With these exceptions every department or the Government has asked for more money than the current appropriation.
 The two largest increases are asked by the Navy, $21.22s.03s. and the Post office Department. $12.1S7.97s.
 The estimates of the Appropriations Committee exceed thdse of Secretary Shaw by nearly $200.o0o,00o, which IS accounted for by the fact that the Sec- retary of the Treasury estimates for the Postoffice Department only that sum which will have to come from the treasury for it's maintenance. not in- ciuding postal revenues applied to the support of that department. His es- timate for the Postoffice Department Is $7,s2s.ooo, while that of the appro- priations committee Is $1s,2l0.e70.
