THE BEST,
PREDICTS A BIG DEFICIT.
Mr.. Littlefield Criticises Amount of
Post Office Department Bill.

After receiving the conference report on
the Notifications appropriation bill and
adopting the conference report on the Phil
irpine government bill. the House of Rep
resentatives resumed consideration of the
pest office appropriation bill yesterday
afternoon.
AS in the case of other appropriation
bills. Mr.. Littlefeld (Maine) called attention
to the vast sum called for by the post Office
bill, $1sO.OOO.OOO If. he said, apppropria-
tons were to be kept at their present size
there would on the first of July be deficit
of s61 100000. If the amounts were cot TO
be reduced they would have to be met by
increased taxation.
Mr.. Overstreet Qnd), IN charge of the
bill, stated that the various items in the
bill were justified by existing conditions.
How do you propose to raise the rev.
enue," inquired Mr.. Cowherd (Mo) of Mr..
Iittlefied. 'if your party intends to stand
patti" adding that Mr.. Littlefeld stood high
in the councils of the administration and
ought to know.
The reply was that THE gentleman from
Maine is not advised to what the inten-
ton of his party is.
Asserting that he was in favor of re-
trer chment in the matter of appropriations,
Mr. Payne On W. the majority leader,
said that Mr.. Littlefield had drawn too
strong a picture of the possible state or
the treasury on July 1 next, because IL Hstu
been shown that the revenues during the
last two or three months had been ncreas-
ing
Mr. Payne would not commit himself in
reply to questions by Messrs. Minor (Wis)
and Gaines CTenn.) as to whether the House
would pass a public building and river and
harbor BILL but said that the present ses-
sion would be brought to a close with ap-
preparations for the next fiscal year that
would be within the governments income.
Charging that the republicans had proni-
gately expended during the last few years
hundreds of millions of dollars, Mr.. Moon
C.enn.) declared that ii that party had
been true to the people of the United States
the deficiency that was now threatened and
which was denied just before election could
not possibly have existed. The post ONCE
bill he said, except in Il few particulars
was as economical as was consistent WIN
the service to be rendered, but he regretted
that he could not say the same of other APP
preparation bills which had passed. the
deficiency is before you" he said, facing
the republican side, NOW make 1t up, but
account to the people for your conduct In
expanding their money!
Mr. Ransdell Qa.) delivered a long argu-
ment in support of a proposed amendment
to the bill granting the Thanking privilege
to state or territorial departments of educa-
ton on matter addressed to any school or
school official

Light Beacon Not Burning.

The light beacon on the buoy marking
Handbook bar on the Chesapeake river.
Md, is reported to be not burning. the gas
in the buoy, having, it is supposed. been
exhausted. Owing to the heavy ice drift
ing about the beacon it is impossible to
reach it. but the lighthouse authorities will
have the beacon relighted by the time navt-
CATION is resumed in the bay.
The drifting ice on Chesapeake bay and
its tributaries is dragging many of the
buoys out of position and the buoy tenders
will have plenty of work when the ice Is
gone restoring the channel marks to their
proper positions.

Steamer Sold at Auction.

The old coast survey steamer Bache,
which for many years past had been in the
coast survey service and had visited al
most every port on the Atlantic coast,
making surveys about them, was sold at
auction a few days ago at the Newport
Or. L. training station to parties in Bos-
ton for S655.55 The Bache was built at
Wilmington. Del. in 1871. for the survey
service, but about a year ago a new Biache
was built and placed in commission and the
old steamer, which had become antiduated
and unserviceable, was retired. Having no
further use for her she was sold by the
coast survey service. She was propeller
steamer 1866 feet long. % feet wide and 9s4
feet deep. When In active service the

NELSON FOR STATEHOOD BILL.
Denies That the East is Antagonistic to
the West

The day for a vote on the statehood bill
having been fixed the opponents of the bill
failed to manifest their customary readi-
ness to speak in the Senate yesterday after
noon, but Senator Nelson filled the gap
with a speech in support of the bill as it
stands. He contended especially that there
was no foundation for the claim that the
people east of the Mississippi were antag-
onistic to those west of 1t. He congratu-
lated the people of the west upon having
those of the east to aid them in maintain
ing the proper equilibrium. I'VE of the
west have a little of the cowboy in us STILL"
he said, land at times we are inclined to
ride too rapidly, and it is well to have a
balance wheel"
The passage attracted the attention of
Mr.. Bailey, who suggested: when the
senator feels this wild impulse tinglinr in
his blood he can find restraint If he will
make application at the White House"
Mr.. Nelson replied that he considered
himself fortunate in his prompter, and pro-
ceeded with his argument.
During the day the following bills were
passed by the Senate: Giving aliens in the
District of Columbia the same rights in the
ownership of real estate as they possess in
the territories.
Opening to public settlement the relin-
pushed portion of Round Valley Indian
reservation in California.

reservations and national parks
Authorizing the construction of two reye-
nue. cutter vessels on Puget sound, at a
cost of $50, 600
