Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1906-04-25

A few days ago Senators Hale and ALI
son began to gather every morning in the
great committee ON appropriations with
their colleagues. They are framing up
another great appropriation bill, that pro-
viding for the executive, legislative, and
judicial expenses of the government. 1t is
one OF the largest of the appropriation
bills. The House committee spent many
weeks in preparing it, summoning hun
dreds Of witnesses from the various de-
partments, and taking testimony that
filed two large volumes. The House also
wrangled over the bill for about two
weeks.
Senators Allison and Hale, who are the
two leading spirits in shaping this big
bill up for the Senate, will take much less
time than the House did, but will do their
work none the less thoroughly. They,
too, will examine numerous witnesses, but
the greatest experts OF Congress on APP
preparation bills are in the Senate and in
the Senate committee on appropriations.
Therefore they are able to get at things
somew hat more expeditiously.

the knot was ever anything more than

The priest took a thread from the gar
