FORUM CLOSES FOR SUMMER

The closing meeting of the Mime
apolis Sunday Forum was well attend
ed. The Beacon Light Mission chorus,
under the direction of A. Gaynes
Thompson, gave three groups of
chorus numbers which won great APP
plause from the audience.
Election of officers was postponed
until the Fall. Refusal of C. E. New
man, president for the past three
years to accept that office again
caused the organization to postpone
the naming of new officers. The NOM
mating committee composed of Mrs.
Mae Marshall, Isaac L. Moore, Jr.,
Miss w. Gertrude Brown and Miss
Era Walls had recommended in it's re-
port that all present officers be re-
tanned. Mr.. Newman gave as his rea-
son for refusing denomination that he
felt that "the office of president and
all other offices should be passed
around and not monopolized by one
person or a group of persons"
The Forum during the past eight
months has enjoyed new popularity.
Many of the programs were furnished
by the Forum bureau of the Board
of Education. Miss Rachel James was
chairman of the program committee.

POLICE BUDGET CALLS
FOR $3,113,442 FUND
Most Of Increase Accounted for
by Restoration of Third
Of Pay Cut.

The 1885 budget for the Metropolitan
Police Department calls for appropria-
tions totaling s3113,4 ,442, as compared
with s2879O0O for the current year,
mcst Of the increase being accounted
for by the restoration Of a third of the
Is per cent pay cut.
The estimate of S2,790,000 for salaries
reflects the merger of the Washington
Railway a. Electric Co. under terms OF
an agreement approved by Congress,
transferring from the railways to the
District the cost of Al crossing police
men. The figure involved in this change
is $4,000.
The bill carries an Item OF $4,000 Tor
repairs and improvements to police
stations and grounds, the figure being
the same as that for the current year.
A new provision Is that the War
Department, in its discretion. may
furnish the Commissioners for use of
the police such worn, obsolete or sur
plus equipment suitable for police work,
as may be required.
A sum not to exceed $4,000 may be
expended by the superintendent OF
police for the prevention and detection
of crime.
The bill also provides $65,o0o for
purchase or maintenance OF motor
vehicles and not to exceed $4,000 Tor
two police cruisers.

ried forward from previous years, rep
resents a decrease of s1,341.618 over
the s20,023.288 authorized obligations
for 1884, although funds are provided
for a restoration of one-third of the Is

The decrease, the message said, is
"due largely to curtailed activities as
a result of the repeal of the eighteenth

The Presidents estimate for the Bu-
reau Of Customs, which collects i'm
port duties and prevents smuggling. is
S18,593,3 1897, an increase of S778,3

The increase is due chiefly to the
salary restoration.
The estimate for the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau is S67,450,520 This sum
plus a balance of $7,793.3l2. is SIS, ,609,-
168 less than the $50 ,853 900 authorized

The reduction is due chiefly to q
reduction in personnel and in the esti-
mated amount required for refund of
taxes illegally or enormously collected
The Bureau Of Narcotics estimate Is
81, ,194.89 an increase Of s194 ,8ee The
increase is to provide for additional

|NAW FARES WELL
| IN BUDGET REQUEST
Message Asks Appropriation
for More Ships and
Larger Personnel.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
The Navy was dealt with generously
in both ships and men by President
Roosevelt today in asking funds for the
service in his annual budget.
The President asked Congress to ap-
propriate $53,8l9,334 for new vessels
and continued work upon those already
authorized, an increase of 81 ,622, ,927
over such authorized obligations during
the 1884 fiscal year.
In general this would permit contin-
uance Of work on Is vessels now being
constructed with regular appropriations
and the laying down of the last of the
planned 10,000-ton 8-inch gun cruis-
ers next January. In addition, the
construction of $4,000 tons Of 6-inch
gun cruisers could go forward.
These cruisers, under the terms OF
the London naval treaty, could be
either three OF 10000 tons or five OF
$500 tons. All of these ships are sep
arate and apart from the 80 vessels tc
be constructed with the $238,000,000 OF
public works funds turned over some
months ago to the Navy by executive
order.
One-third Pay Restoration.
The budget 1895 estimate, including
cent pay cut taken by the services
called for S288,030,725. This was
s5.996,s18 less than the authorized OBJ
legations for 1884.
1t was estimated, however, that with
accrued balances to be carried forward
to the 1885 fiscal year and use of un-
expended funds from continuing ap-
preparations, there would be available
for expenditure by the Navy S315-
691, ,521.
OF this available amount. it was esti-
mated actual Withdrawals by the serv-
ice from the Treasury would total S3l0-
10000.
In addition to the partial pay restora-
ton, provision was made for 80 per
cent restoration beginning July l of the
promotion and longevity pay in both
the Navy and Marine Corps.
Enlisted Strength Increased.
An additional sum of s2,70O,oO was
provided to increase the naval enlisted
strength from 79 TOO to 81 500 and Ma
