Col. Ramsay Dead.

Col. H. Ashton Ramsay, one of the few
surviving members of the crew and chief
engineer Of the famous Confederate iron
clad Merrimac, died last Saturday morning
at his home in the St. Paul Apartments,
Baltimore. Col. Ramsay was 81 years old.
Col. Ramsay was a native Of Washing
ton, and was appointed from the District
OF Columbia as an assistant engineer in
the United States Navy just before the
beginning Of the Civil War He resigned
to 60 South and joined the Confederate
States Navy. He aided in building the
Virginia. generally called the Merimac. the
first ironclad ever used in warfare. Her
defensive armor was sheathing of steel
rails, and her powerful iron ram created
CONSERVATION in the Federal fleet when
she steamed out of the James river into
Hampton Roads in 1852.
The commander of the Merimac. the
ranking officer Of the Confederate Navy,
was Admiral Franklin Buchanan, of Mary
land. Col. Ramsay was chief engineer.
The Merrimac rammed and sunk the Con-
eress and Cumberland. and her career Of
destruction was checked by the appear
ance of the Monitor. built in New York by
John Ericsson, and familiarly called "the
cheese box on raft"

Of this. for several years, each Legislature
has had to pass an emergency bill to cover
the excess Of its expenditures over its ap-
preparation. Last session this emergency
bill carried about $4,000, the total ex-
penditures of the Legislature Of 1914 hav-
ing been about $21S.00O. For the Leeis-
lature Of 1918 the present Legislature will
appropriate $4,000.
The work of the Goodnow Economy and
Efficiency Commission has made possible
this cut. II fixed up schedule of employees
that was adopted at the beginning OF this
session with the result that the saving to
the State, SO far. has been about $78. 900,
taking the expenditures during the session
Of 1914 as basis And there is no doubt
about the fact that by the adoption Of
strictly business methods another reduction
can be made two years from now.
AS stated on Sunday, the committees
have cut the Public Service Commission
to $4,000. At the same time they have
increased the appropriation to the State
Industrial Accident Commission to SIS 900
from 100000. and that of the State Tax
Commission from $4,000 to $4,000.
This last increase was made to cover the
expense of re-assessment throughout the
State.
Because Of good many of the insur-
ance policies of the State expire this year,
the committees have been forced to in
crease the appropriation for insurance on
State buildings from $4,000 to $40, 900.
This will cover renewal of the expiring
policies for periods Of either three or five
years.
1t is understood that the Advisory Board
OF Parole has been cut from $4,000 to
$4,000, and that the maximum price for
State printing will be fixed at $4,000,
which is several thousand under the pres
ent maximum price. No appropriations
have been made for the various depart
ments which are to be combined under
the new Bureau of Labor and Statistics
1t will be allowed $4,000, which is sew
eral thousand under the combined allow
ances Of the different bureaus to be con-
solidated.
A big slice has been cut off the appro-
priation asked for by the Attorney General.
He wanted $l43.000 for 1915, and $780,
600 for 1917. He will be allowed $l15,-
600 and 100000. The clerks of the City
and Circuit Courts Of Baltimore city have
been shaved of $1,000 each; the Board
OF Public Works has been cut $500, and
at the State Comptrollers request his de-
partment has been cut $500. while the
State Treasurer loses $1,000.
Various other cuts have been made, but
the exact figures will not be known until
the bills are ready for introduction.
No further action has been taken on
the appropriation asked for by the Johns
Hopkins University. This is one of the
things that will have to be settled before
the bill is brought out. unless it is decided
to allow the measure to be introduced in
its present form and then thrash out the
advisability of cutting out the university's
general appropriation of $4,000 on the
floor Of the two houses.-BaIto. Sun of the

Appropriation Schedule Way Under
That or 1914.

In an effort to keep the allowances with
in the States estimated revenues of ST.
100000, the Finance and Ways and Means
Committees are said to have done some
wholesale slashins on last Saturday. when
they practically completed the tentative
draft Of the General Appropriations bill,
which will be introduced in the Senate
within the next few days
The schedule that has been arranged
calls for about 100000 less than was
appropriated by the Legislature of 1914
and about $4,000 less than was appro-
priated in 1912. The appropriations of
1912 were used as basis. In some cases
the appropriations for the coming year
exceed those made two years ago. but the
instances are exceptionally rare.
The one department that will suffer most
by the trimming that has been done will
be the State Board Of Health, which, &C.
cordine to reports, has been cut $4,000
below its 1914 appropriation and $4S, 800
below what II was asking. II received
from the General Assembly of 1914 an
allowance Of $l42.500. This year il asked
for a total Of $l53.000. OF the extra
$iO.5O0 the sum Of $4,000 was wanted
for the Bureau Of Communicable Diseases.
$4,000 for the Bureau Of Vital Statistics
and $4,000 for county surveys.
A reduction that the State-at-laree is
expected to approve is one Of $4,000
made by the Finance and Ways and Means
Committees In the amount for legislative
expenses In 1918. For a number Of years
this appropriation has been fixed at $780,

priAtins the money for the next. On top
