meeting he once had with the late
Lord Salisbury. HE was a brilliant
man and a great statesman he said.
"a little cynical. he never lost an op-
portunity of having laugh at ones
expense, but In his laugh there was
never a trace of any malice. In the
interview / recounted my nations his
tory, when he seemed a little bored
At the end Lord Salisbury dryly re-
marked: 1 thank you, minister. Now

that you have brilliant history. But
my dear friend, it would have been
much better for the Serbs If you had
less brilliant history and port on the

Outstanding with the committees on

appropriation for the department would
be carried in the general appropriation
bill, but in the rush of making the ap-
preparation BILL near the close of the
session, the item was overlooked and
the appropriation bill going through
without any provision being made for
the department. The appropriation
was then placed back into the bill it
self and passed under suspension Of
rules, but in the rush and excitement
of the closing days the omission of the
words, and providing an appropriation
therefor was overlooked. The bill it
self. however, clearly shows the intent

otherwise appropriated, the sum of
