The Ambassador said no Japanese law
appeared to have been violated by the

The press campaign, Grew said, 'has
assumed proportions which threaten to
cause serious injury to the banks pres

Grew added that he had asked
Uchida that an official statement be is

STUDY OF PRINTING
ORDERS PROPOSED
House Committee Sees Pos
sibIe Saving in limit
on Publications.

Prompted by the report OF the pub
lie printer, the House Committee on Ap-
propriations has asked the United States
Bureau of Efficiency to make careful
study Of the extent to which wholesale
quantities OF Government publications
for which there is only limited de-
mand are being ordered by various
Government departments, and expresses
confidence that with proper limits
placed on such printing orders large
saving can be made.
In the report made to the House to-
day on the State, Justice, Commerce
and Labor appropriation bill this was
explained by Representative Oliver OF
Alabama in the section Of his report
devoted to the State Department.
Estimate Is S276,s75.
The explanation said
For printing and binding the budget
estimate for the fiscal year 1888 is
s276,875. The committee recommends
an appropriation of $258.275, a reduc-
ton of $l8,600 under the budget esti-
mate, which reduction is TO be allcated
as fellows: Printing report OF the In
ternational Joint Commission, Sl4, 1000;
passport forms, So 800; printing treaties,
$500; printing for the foreign service,
81 600, and printing the diplomatic list,
5000.
1T is proper to state in this connec-
ton that all of the departments for
which appropriations are carried in this
cost of printing at the Government
Printing Office. While we recognize
that this committee is not clothed with
legislative authority, yet the facts
brought to the attention OF the COM
mittee in the report of the public printer
show that practically every department
Of the Government has stored away an
accumulation of printed material in the
form of bulletins and books, covering a
long period of years, for which there Is
no demand, and at no time has there
been more than limited demand for
many Of such publications.
Study Suggested.
Eve suggest that study be made OF
this at once by the Bureau OF Efhclency
with the view of ascertaining what bull
letins and books and publications have
been ordered by the Government de-
partmentS and commissions in the past
two years, the number ordered for free
distribution and the number printed, at
Government expense, to be stored away
for future calls or demands. We feel
confident that if some proper limitation
Is placed on the publication of useless
papers a large saving will be rejected
in printing appropriations for every de-
partment.
The report Of the Bureau Of Effci-
ency will enable this committee to SUBJ
nit recommendations looking to the
correction of any abuses of the print
ing privilege, whereby large savings to
the Federal Treasury may very prob
ably be effected. These remarks do not
apply with the same force to the State
Department as to other departments
where larger appropriations are carried
for this purpose"

DRY LAW CASES

Mitchell Traces Half of His
Departments Criminal Work
to Prohibition.

Attorney General Mitchell estimates
that, not counting the prohibition unit,
over so per cent of Justice Department
criminal activities arise from the dr.
law.
He so testified before the House Ap-
propriations Committee on Enforcement
Funds. expressing regret that the r.
nancial condition of the country is
such that it did not seem feasible to

not satisfied with present-day enforce
ment.

that some people feel so bitter against
that they do not want it enforced.
of course, there have been more
complaints from one source and an
other about the prohibition unit than
there has been with the Bureau of In
vestigation You will never
have a prohibition unit that will be
immune from criticism from one source
or another.
That is due to the fact that there
Is a good deal of bitter feeling aroused
about the national prohibition act and
people are bound to criticize those that
are trying to enforce it"
Mitchell insisted it was impossible to
apportion departmental expenditures
between prohibition enforcement and
other legal activities.
Half Traced to Prohibition.
aside from the direct appropriation
for the prohibition unit of around SILL
100000" he said, lust about so to so

I think it is fair to say that con-
siderably more than half maybe so per

just a rough guess"
