D. c. BUDGET RAISE
EXCEEDS S1,oDO,o)D
Bureau Impressed With Plea
for Schools, Sewers and
Street Paving.

When the District estimates for
next year go to Congress in Decem-
Der they probably will total approx
imately s26,500,000. it was learned
last night.
This would be more than $1,000, 600
in excess of the original restriction
of s25,144,882 placed on the Commits
sioners by the budget bureau.
1t was reliably reported ten days
ago that the budget authorities had
been favorably impressed by the
arguments of the Commissioners for
more money and that the limitation
might be raised to $26,000,00O.
Later reports indicate, however,
that the budget bureau may go ap-
proximately $500,000 above the $685.
100000 mark
Schools, it is reported, will be given
substantial part of the added
amount, with the sewer department
also receiving comfortable increase.
The original allotment for street
paving also is likely to be raised in
the readjustment Of figures
In all probability several more
weeks will pass before the budget
figures are finally settled, and until
the day Congress meets 1t will not
be definitely known how much has
been allowed the District
That the figure will be well over
$26,O0O,000, however, appears likely.

FIGHT ON KELLOGG
CERTAIN IN SENATE
Progressives Will Oppose
Confirmation as Envoy
to Great Britain.

Progressives of the northwest will
strongly oppose confirmation Of for
mer Senator Kellogg of Minnesota
to be ambassador to Great Britain.
Senator Frazier. republican. of North
Dakota said here last night.
Mr.. Kellogg, Senator Frazier said,
was defeated for reelection and the
election of Magnus Johnson a year
later showed the sentiment of the
people of the northwest had not
changed. In addition. he said.
states adjacent to North Dakota had
registered in unmistakable terms
-thsiesstxend Of though :. and that
-thoaght was not along the same lines
as that Of former Senator Kellogg.
Senator Frazier would not predict
the course of individual progressives,
but he said Mr.. Kellogg would be
strongly opposed.
Surprise Expressed.
Considerable surprise was caused in
official and political circles when Kel-
logg's appointment became known on
Friday. Comment upon the Presidents
while there was any amount of criti-
cism and displeasure expressed by
some leaders, it was generally con-
ceded that Senator Kellogg will be ac-
ceptable to Great Britain and that his
nomination will be readily confirmed
when it is sent to the Senate.
Those who expressed disapproval
over the selection explained that
while there was no question about
Senator Kellogg's ability as a lawyer
and that he probably is eminently
qualified to satisfactorily fill the post
in question, the appointment will not
help the President nor the party po-
litically. They say that Kellogg's
advancement will not advance the in
terests of the party in Minnesota or
the middle west, inasmuch as he was
overwhelmingly defeated for re-elec-
tion to the Senate last November.
I DisIiked by ReactfOnnries.
E Also, the reactionary wing in the
Senate are not expected to take very
kindly to the appointment because
of his very mild attitude toward
the league of nations fight in the
Senate and because he was a most
ardent supporter of President Hard
ing's world court plan. One promi-
nent western senator. while COM
menting upon the selection, said to-
day that it was a most unwise move
ON the part of the President and that
it will cost him the delegates from
at least three northwestern states at
the next republican convention.
OF course, there is much specula-
tion as to how the President hap
pened to decide upon Senator Kel-
aogg. Who was responsible for 1t? Is
asked by many. 1t Is realized that
Senator Kellogg was one of Prest-
dent Harding's most intimate friends
and advisers, and there are some per-
sons who contend that Mr.. Harding
had promised Mr.. Kellogg the st.
James post when Col. Harvey retired.
In fact, there are those who are
firmly convinced that this is the case
and that President Coolidge, who al
ways has had a high regard for Sem
ator Kellogg. is fulfilling the promise
of his predecessor.

last acts before leaving here for

the government on the acceptance of

Kellogg's legal and judicial attain

rendered as especially qualifying
him for Americas highest diplomatic
post.
when Ambassador Harvey leaves
here Saturday he will be accompanied
by Frederic r. Dolbears. the first

MANILA, October 27.-Political de-
velopments and reports from the Moro
country in the last twenty-four hours
indicate that a more serious situation
exists than any that has existed in
the Philippines since the American
administration became definitely es-
tablished.
While Governor General Wood and
a large force of constabulary troops
are in Mindanao investigating Moro
troubles, the political situation has
come to a head in the resignation of
four appointive members of the legis-
lature late last night.
Three representative and one sena-
tor, appointed by Governor General
Wood, have sent in a joint resigna-
ton, accompanied by the announce
ment that, though appointed by the
governor general, they could not in
dorse his policies, and to avoid en-
barra ssment for him and themselves
they deemed it best to quit the HDsts.
The designations of the legislators are
regarded as a distinct victory for the
hilippiHo independence
which for some time has been trying
to prevail on appointive members of
the legislature to resign.
slope for Cooperation Lost,
"All hope for cooperation between
the executive and legislative depart

lost" the legislators said in resign
ing. They expressed the hope that
the governor general would appoint
somebody to their places who Will CO.
