OUTDID THE FIFTY-FIRST | Over One Billion Dollars Appropriated by the Fifty-Becond Congress. SOME FIGURES FROM SENATOR ALLISON It Exceedod the Republl gros 838,405,865 Demooratic Figares Do Not Agree, However, with the Above Quoted Statement. by Wasnsoros, D. troversy as to the of the “billion dollar congress" one is still on. and though the ¢ committee on appropriatior houses have completed their statements, they do not agree. The senate committee confines itself to the absolute appropriations made, while the house committee in its total appropriations of the Fifty-first, or, as it was called, the “billion dollar congress,” includes what are known as indefinite appropriations, made necessary, it is claimed, by the legisla tion of that congress. It is upon these mat ters that the committees do not agree, al though the actual figures on direct appropri ations are the s Mr. Allison, chairman of the senate com mittee, has prepared a statoment that shows that the appropriations for the first session of the Fifty-first congress amounted 0 $403,308,510, and for the second session, $525,018,192, making a grand total of §¢ 417,182, The appropriations for the first session of the congress just ended show the work of the first session 507,600,186, for the second session, $510,221,861, a total of §1,02 822,047, an increase of by the last congre over the republican congress of §38,403,565. The real question for the people to consider, says Mr. Allison, is whether the appropria tions are in cxcess of the revenues of the government, He answers that by saying that they are not when the sinking fund is excluded. With all these appropriations he finds that the revenues of the government | are suflicient to meet them Democratic Figures. Mr. Holman, chairman of the house com mittee, concerning the appropriations of the Fifty-second congress, says that the appro- priations of the session amount to §519,221, 861 From his point of view, the appropria- tions of the Fifty-first congress aggregated $1,035,086,021, and that those of the Fifty second _congress amount to #1,(r 047, or #9,804,574 less than those of the Fifty-first congress Mr. Holman will present a statement of appropriations made by the Fifty-second congress, as charged against it under perma- nent appropriations, in accordance with re- quirements of law, enacted by the Fifty-first congre There are included sums aggre gating in all $154,172,040. Judge Holman states that if these appropriations had not been made, as required. the appropriations of the Fifty-second congress would have shown a reduction of more than $16:3,000,000 from thosc by the Fifty-first cong Mr. Dockerey of Missouri, a member of the committee on appropriations has also pre vared a statement, which agrees with that of Mr. Holman, as to the appropriations of the present congress compared with those of the last. He further says that the appro- priations of th ss, exclusive of pensions, are & less than the ap- propriations of the Fifty-first congress. With reference to the probable deficiency at the end of the fiscal year, he says: It can: not be stated with® absolute accur whether the treasury detic will be greater or less than £ 2, for the reason that there are certain amounts carried inthe appropriation bills which in their expendi- ture can be somewhat regulated by the ex- ecutive departments, but if they move with ordinary dispatch, the deficiency will prob- | ably not be less than the amount stated.

C., March 8.—It is said that the democrats caused an adjournment until Tuesday in order to cuable the caucus committee to come to a decision as to the or- ganization of the committees and the ap- pointment of officers of the scnate. The; were in caucus all yesterday without coming to an sgreement. It is discovered that more time will be required because of the very sharp contest over the organization of the committee on finance. The probability now is that the democrats will not be able to adjust their differences with respect to commissions be fore Monday or Tuesday. When the senate shall assemble on Thursday next the indications are that there will be an adjourn- ment at once until Mon remaining in session long enough only to receive such nominations to oftice as Mr. Cleveland may then have ready. The chief contest is over the republican representation on the com- mittee on finauce. It becomes more evident every hour that the saministration is deter- mined that the committee shall be orgamzed in accordance with its own wishes, whatever may be the disposition of the democratic ma- Jority in the senate. The first point to be disposed of is to determine what shall be | done with Daniel W. Voorhees. He stands | at the head of the list gn the aemocratic side of the remnant of the committee. Under the usages of the senate he is entitled to the chairmanship. But Mr. Voorhees is a free i democrat, is in poor health and is not n whom the administration desires to have in that position. 1t 1s evident {from the plotting that is going on that the adminis- Tration intends to bring the finance question 10 the front A member of the finance committee, who desires to be made its chairman, according 10 a statement of one of the most prominent of the democratic senators, is Mr. John Me- Pherson of New Jerse; He showed a little feeling toward the administration through a witticism uttered in the scnate the other day when he said that the party would soor. have control of all branches of the govern- ment and might possibly have a majority of the cabinet. But Mr. McPherson's views on the financial question are those which meet the approval of Mr. Cleveland and Wall streot. He is what Mr. Bland would proba- bly call a “gold bug.” Heis a single standard man, although if forced to it upon the stump probably would endeavor to make it appear that he believes in the use of silver in coin- age. A prominent member of the caucus c mittee said this evening that until the sen- ate was organized, at least so far as the com- mittees were concerned, there would be no action upon any nomination that the presi- dent might send in. For this reason 1t was fmperative that the caucus committee should do its work as fast as possible the Organiza- IN FU CHARGE, Mr. Cleveland's Heads of 1 " ce Their Work. Wasnizaroy, D.

The question threatens to assume 0 acute phase in the opinion of many people. While oriental Catholics in certain districts are accustomed to seeing married and celi- bate clergy living in some sort of harmony the west hasa decided repugnance to it, Ever since the first married priest and family appeared in America, the bishops, it is said, have urged the propaganda to bestow some attention to possible complications of the future. They have not succeeded in ex- citing the interest of the officials who have charge of American affairs on the subject. 1t is probable the archbishops will take the matter before Mgr.
