aggregate of proposed appropriations
reached in the Senate to-day with
passage Of the army appropriation
bill, carrying in round numbers
3l4,00O,OO0.
This great total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill will follow the
ductions are probable, despite the
firm attitude of President Wilson in
supporting the liberal response of the
Senate to the call for adequate de-
fense.
The appropriations for prepared

lows:

Army and navy deficiency: ST.
59,34S.05.
Total, $G85,343,017.27.
AS it passed the Senate, the army
bill exceeded tho appropriations
made by the House by more than
$13l, 100000.
For Dependent Families.
In the final hours Of debate on the
measure the Senate agreed to an ap-
preparation Of $2,000,000 for relief
Of dependent families of national
guardsmen and regular army soldiers
in service in the Mexican emergency.

day giving soldiers on the border the
right to vote at the November cleo
tions was eliminated from the bill on
Il point Of order just before passage.

Congress Has Bills for Paper
{ Consolidation Of Two
Companies.
NEWS OF LOCAL MARKETS
Wall Street Considers Government
Measures to Buy Ships as Pork
Barrel" Legislation.

Bills introduced In the House and Sem
ate authorized the paper consolidation
Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Company with the Potomac Electric
Company are regarded in the street as
the first step toward an ultimate con-
the District. Senator oliver and Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald introduced the bills
In their respective houses.
Under the provisions of the bill, the
railway company is authorized to pro-
cure control of the power company with
the acquiesence of seventy-f1ve per cent
OF the stockholders of each company, but
without prejudlcing the liabilities of the
power company. As most of the stock
OF the power company is now held by
the railway company, the effect of the
move will be simply to consolidate the
books Of the two companies and elimi-
nate some confusion and duplication OF
work
1t Is pointed out that this move should
make the regulating duty Of the local
utilities commission so much the simpler,
although the commission Is now striving
to bring about the complete separation
Of the two companies.
There seems to be a strong sentiment
among holders of street railway stock
here and In the directing body OF at
least one Of the two corporations to bring
about the consolidation OF the Washing
ton Railway interests with the Capital
Traction. This sentiment has been stim-
ulated by the discussion recently Of
trackage difficulties and the closer regu-
lation and more insistent requirements in
this respect imposed by the utilities COM
mission. Street railway traffic experts
declare that a consolidation is the only
way to solve the difficulty. Such a con-
solidation, they declare, would concen-
trate all equipment and obviate much of
the congestion now found at points where
the companies come into competition.
In this case too, 1t is declared, the
regulating task OF the utilitie. commits
sion would be so much the simpler, with
but one set of books to oversee. 1t Is
understood that the principal obstacles
to an agreement between the companies
involves the methods of consolidation
One of the companies desires a cash pay
ment for its plant and franchise, while
the other desires to make 1t a consolida-
ton for a stock consideration.

"Pork Barrel" Legialation.

Wall streets view Of the proposed gov
ernment armor plate factory, provided for
In bill recently reported out by the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee, and at
the same time a practical summing up
of the case. Is in this dispatch received
yesterday by the local offices OF Harm
man & Co. in the Colorado Building.
''Inasmuch as the government has no
ore reserves and no ships for trans
porting ore, should such reserves be
located, it Is rather a problem just how
useful such a plant would prove. The
obtaining of sufficient ore reserves is the
hardest proposition now before the
private owned steel plants and to be as
sured of a sufficient supply, these plants
have had to go as far as Cuba and South
America, and incidentally build fleets OF
steamships to transport the ore
''1n view of the present agitation over
preparedness, 1t would seem that this
proposed measure might better be classeu
under pork barrel legislation. If it Il,
meant to be an aid to preparedness, it
could not have been more ably conceived
by the peerless Commoner himself"

STOCK MARKET
GAINS STRENGTH
Coppers Lead in Advances
and Smelters Quickly
Follow Example.
WAR ORDERS EXPECTED
Railroads in Hands of Receivers Not
Showing Losses as Result oE
Labor. Troubles 10

New York, Feb. s.-Many traders In the
stock market have become discoura ged
and have dropped their stocks, but they
quickly began replacing them today.
Anaconda was the leader and even the
trouble in Mexico was not able to hold
smelters from joining in the movement
Next to the advance in coppers, the i'm
portant feature of the day, was the
steady accumulation OF munitions stocks.
Some extremely large war orders are to
be announced in the near future
One in particular is expected to cleo
trify the street. 1t will set a new stand
ard for blgness. II Is so large that it
probably will have to be distributed
among all Of the munitions makers and
undoubtedly will revive public specula-
ton In these shares. Westinghouse was
one OF the best purchased stocks in the
street throughout the day.
OF all the railroads in the United States
that are in the hands OF receivers there
Is not a mile, so experts say, that was
put there as the result of labor troubles
or OF improper rates The report on the
Rock Island, just made public by an ef-
ficiency expert, shows that even the fail
ed railroads are not bankrupt. The wave
Of prosperity that IS overwhelming the
roads. threatens to sweep away opposi-
ton to the eight hour day that the men
are demanding.
Wall Street interprets the peaceful set
uement Of the Lusitania matter as evil
1ence that large war orders will make
their appearance in the near future.
Of the companies likely to receive war
orders, the most prominent are the West
inghOuse, Crucible and New Midvale
Company

The annual production OF wood pulp
in the United States is valued al over
So. oooO 900. according TO a report Of the
Department OF Commerce on by-products
of the lumber industry.
The report states that waste in the

cubic feet Of wood annually. II L
stated that it was the prOdiEious waste

methods OF utilizing the waste product
OF the lumber industry here in the United

that have made the most distinct pro-
Eress in this line.
II is stated that one OF the most in
terestinE possibilities in connection with
