Estimates for the government de- partments,.except state, war and navy are practically the same as last year. Additional force in the diplomatic and consular service and at the state department and extraordinary ex- penses abroad in the work - being done by American legations and em- ‘bassies, will require an increase of about $1,300,000 for the state depart- ment.
