THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
In the course OF a brief editoria
yesterday morning. reviewing tn,

TAWNEY IN
CANAL TANGLE.
Chairman of Appropriation Com
mittee Resents InsinuatiOn

Washington, Aug, 29.-In a letter
to Acting Secretary Of War Oliver,
made public, Representative James
A. Tawney of Minnesota, chaiglnan
Of the house committee on appropria-
tions, resents what he regards as the
imputation by Chairman Goethals OF
the Isthmain canal commission and
Attorney General Bonaparte that con-
gress failed to appropriate sufficient
money to carry on the work Of dig
ging the Panama canal to full capac-
ity of the force on the isthmus.
Mr.. TAwney said he was greatly
surprised at the statement Of Cocktails
that In consequence Of the inadequa-
cy Of the appropriations to meet ex-
penditures It had become necessary to
lay off thousands Of men and was
even more surprised at the reported
opinion by the attorney general that
under the amendment to the urgent
deficiency appropriation act the caual
appropriation must be arpoItioned to
certain periods. which apportion-
ment could mot be waived or modi-
fed except upon the happening Of
some extraordinary emergency or I'M
usual circumstance. which could not
be anticipated at the time of making
such apportionment. Mr.. Tawney
says:
''If the attorney general has given
an opinion to this effect IL 10 evident
that the opinion was given without
carefully reading the section referred
to- The appropriations of the canal
expenditures for the fiscal year 1905
we're made In accordance with esti'
mates submitted by the isthpiiar
canal commission through the secre
airy Of war, aud with the exception o
the amount estimatei for administra
tive purposes of the canal zone gov
eminent, the appropriations are equa
IN amount to the estimates submit
ted. II, therefore, this section die
apply to the canal expenditures, tn
committee on appropriations in tn
last congress is Ia no way responsible
for the fact that the appropriation
for labor and equipment are made
quate. "
Mr.. Tawney insisted that the cana
appropriations fell within the expect
ed class in that the construction {
the canal was authorized by law. a
the limit Of cost liked. The cant
appropriations were excepted froI
q the provisions Of the laW requirin
