Senator Manderson told the story of what the Senate had done during the sewion. There were on the calendar not exceeding six House bills undisposed of. Not lesa than 709 bills had been mee of which the House had agreed to only 120. Of the 460 bills pasned by the House tho Senate had enacted 314 into laws, Not» single nomination had been rejected and only three died with the session. APPROPRIATIONS COMPARED, Senator Allison talked about appropriations and showed that the appropriations for the first session of the Fifty-second Congress had aggre- -gated @507,000,000, as against €463,000,000 for the first session of the last Congress, an increase of $44,000,000. ‘The principal items of increase were in pensionsand for the Post Office Depart- ment. There were come diminutions, notably in the deficiency ‘ppropriations and in the mis- cellaneous items, latter fact was largely due to the fact that no public building bills been passed by this Congress, Mr. Allison added’that he thought he could claim for the Senate committee ou appropria- tions and for the Senate iteelf that during thi: session the regular sprropriation bills had been carefully scanned and that scanning bad not | been political in its character. It was obvious to all that postal facilitics and postal expendi- tures were constantly increasing, and so there had been eight millions added to the post office appropriation bill at this session as compared with two years ago. And yet the postal appro- Priations would fall very short of meeting the necessary szpsndibaree for the fiscal year 1893, and large deticiencies for the Post Office Depart- ment and for other departments of the govern- ment would be necessary at the next session. ‘or instance, the appropriation for United States courts was about a million less than was necessary, and that was true in regard to other departments of the government MB, GORMAS'S VIEWS.

Bona- partist parties have beon losers for the past twenty years in all the elections, but never has an election proved more seriously the disap- Pearance of the old parties and their waning influence on the mind of the French people, The republic is established in France to live, says a radical newspaper, and to live a life of rogress. Sectarianism cannot claim a hold in France any more and this will come out in due time, when our people will be called to pro- nounce between the principle of the revolution and the Vatican. It has been announced that France will send her naval squadron of the Medterranean to Genoa at the opening of the Columbian exposi- tion as a mark of courtesy. This will take place on the arrival of King Humbert there in order to repay a similar courtesy shown by the Halian government when Signor Crispi, then prosident of the ministry, sent the Italian squadron to Toulon on the’ arrival of President Carnot.
