London, Feb. 23.-'The entrance Of Mrs.
Waldorf Astor. formerly Nanny Lang
horne-Shaw, of Virginia, into the ballroom
before the King and Queen at last nights
court reception was sensational said
one who was present.
'She was a perfect embodiment of the
elegante of the empire period. Lights
flashed upon her diamond crown, her deep
collar, and necklace of blazing jewels,
which outshone even those on the Queens
neck. Mrs. Astor's empire dress was com
posed Of net with embroidered silk Of
Napoleonic wreaths. \ hoUnce Of superb
old Brussels lace, the gift of her father
in-law, fell to the edge Of her skirt, 10
meet the hem of rich ermine. Her blue
velvet bolero was worked with close en-
pire designs. \ glorious buckle of the
same period. formed of matchless dia-
monds fastened the dress at the back
From the costly ornament "A blue velvet
train fell out IN broad folds It's whole
edge was hemmed with royal miniver
The lining was of cloth of silver
Mrs. Astor carried "a fan that was
once tho property of the Empress Jose
phine. Her silver shoes were powdered
with fine diamonds. As Mrs. Astor re-
treated from the royal presence their
maiesties turned to follow her with their

DR.. FLOWER RELEASED.
Alleged SwindIer Manages 30 Regain
Liberty on $4,000 Bail.

New York. Feb. 23.-All hope of bringing
10 trial here DR.. Richard c. Flower.
wanted to answer TO swindling charges.
involving over $LoCO,00O, has been aban-
doned by District Attorney Jerome. with
the release in Philadelphia yesterday of
DIT. Flower, under S5,OO0 bail. awaiting the
passage of an appeal of his case in Pitts
burg on April 10. Dr. Flower three years
ago jumped a bond of $4,000 in this city.
The district attorney SAYS it is nonsense
10 suppose he will remain for trial under
the S5.O00 bail. Unless Flower can be
caught again jerome has little hope of
ever bringing him TO trial
Jerome said he could not understand
how bail could have been fixed at 5000
without District Attorney Patterson. of
Philadelphia or himself being notified.
Sergeant McConville, who was prepared
to go to Philadelphia with extradtiou pa
pers for Flower. will go to-day and make
an effort TO locate Flower and have him
extradited If be can be found.

It costs just a little more than twice as
much to run the government Of the United
States now as it did ten years ago.
One session OF the FIfty-ninth Congress,
by the time it has completed its laborS.
will have appropriated more than both
sessions Of the Fifty-fourth Congress.
Ten years ago the per capita cost OF gov
ernment was 80. Now it is $3.50
The cost of government per capita is
row greater than AT any other period
since the eXtravagances Of Congress have
been a matter for newspaper agitation and
political consideration. The Forty-ffth
Congress FOR the years 1873 and 1850 appro-
priated in round numbers S704.00.000. an
average Of S257G000C0 annually. The pop
uiation Of the United States IT that time,
in round numbers, was 50G00o0 showing
that the cost per c2pit2 was s.. The Fif-
.ueth Congress for the years 1SS9 and 1S9l
appropriated. in round numbers. $500 0lO.-
co. and at that time the population OF the
United States was, in round numbers
100000. The average appropriation for
the biennial period at that time was ST.
OF $3.50 annually
The cost per capita of government dur-
ing this ten-year period. therefore. had
not increased. On the contrary. ther-
had been pronounced decrease. Tin
total appropriations in ten years for the
biennial period were advanced only sqi
09.00 It is significant that the auuUat
appropriations at this time exceed the
biennial appropriations Of the Fifti-,a
~.
1883 and 1860 were only s794o09,00J. at that
time considered big figure. The APP
propriatiOns for this short session alone
viii exceed the appropriations for both
sessions Of the Fiftieth Congress by more
than S2000C0.00
First BiIIiOn-dOIIar Congress.
The Fifty-frst Congress was the Hrst
in which the aggregate OF the appropria-
tions for the biennial period reached
81 go, ,G05.0o0. That fact was a tremendous
issue in the campaign, and the Repub-
leans were driven from power By an
overwhelming adverse majority The per

Do. Ta.Nner's Estimnte.


Mr. Tawney's estimate is that the ap-
propriations for the short session of the
present Congress will be sl.odoco0Co0 In
other words. during the lass ten years the
appropriations by Congress have doubled.
Ten years ago the Fifty-fourth Congress
in the long session appropriated $50. .00o.H0,
and for the short session $iSj,07ao1 o10. Il
the aggregate 90 he appropriated this year
falls 100000 snort Of the estimate of the
chairman of tho Appropriations Commit
tee it will still exceed by $50O,050 the ap-
propriatioue for the biennial period of the
Congress which sat ten years ago.
BY far the largest increase in appropria-
tions during the past ten years has been
for the navy. The Congress of 1891 ap-
propriated for the navy 100000 and the
following year S33,600C60. The navy appro-
priations for the year l901 are Sl02, o,C0o,
or S20.0O0,000 more than they were during
1S9S and 1899, when the war with Spain
was fought.
The largest proportional increase I'm any
OF the expenditures Is for fortihcations.
which were 80, ,0000 600 for 1897 with an esti-
mate of S15.C0oG10 for 1905. With the eX-
ception OF the appropriation for pensions
and the legislative appropriation bin, each
of the big supply bills now carries more
than twice the appropriations called for
ten years ago.
Although the work Of the present Con-
gress is not complete il is shown by 1fr.
Tawuey's figures that the amounts finally
carried in the bills have. I'm the aggrc-
gate, exceeded the estimates by S5000o,00o
The estimates. therefore viii not show r
larger disparity than the actual figures
when the present Congress has adjourned
A Comparative Statement.
Ten years ago there was appropriated
for the Agricultural Department, In round
numbers, S2,0O0.ooO. This year it is SSc00.-
COCO. For the army there was appropri-
ated. in round numbers. S2S.0l0,o09. Now it
is SS00G0.000 For the diplomatic and con
sular bill. ten years ago. the apprOpriH-
tion was 81 800 coo. now il is over s. 000, eco.
For the District of Columbia, ten years
ego. S5,OG0.000 was adequate, now it is over
S11.O00O00.
For the navy, ten years ago, S3o.000.O00
was appropriated, now it Is in excess Of
sl0G, ,000.O00. The amount appropriated for
pensions during this time has decreased
8. .000.000 The POst-Ofhce appropriations,
ten years ago. were So 0O0. eco. now they
are, in round numbers, 500. ,000. The ap-
prOpriations of the sundTy civil bill, in ten
years, have more than trebled.

Kingston, Feb. 23.-There was a renewal
of the earthquake shocks this afternoon

falling walls and killed, while half 4
dozen others were more or less severely
injured. One white man, who was driving
through the streets, was killed by dam
aged building collapsing and burying him
and his team.
The people were thrown into panic, and
an who could DO so made for the park
and the open country. The renewed
shocks have caused the greatest alarm.
and many persons who had decided 70

New York. Feb. Comptroller
Metz. who has succeeded in breaking
