The other delegates were unau lmously la Carer of continuing the its sines and of send Ins some answer to the executive department la Wa«Mni ton. The argument turned oa the ques tion whether the ocnveotlcn had pow er to adopt a scheme of relation) that would be bMting on the future re* public, kstmek a majority of (ha delegates opposed -'thla view. Today Senor Nunei, representing th» conser vatives. argued that the delete ci « empowered in tta call tor the con lion to aatabilefc pfcimanent rela tlona with tbo Unltted States and ought not to atteffpt to ahlrk ita duty.

It la generally bettered that the crisis, if any estate J, baa passed, and that by the time the committee re port* the prcoent excitement will hare passed. Much depends upon the, at 1. tude of the RadlsaJ delegates. If an impassioned appeal to the people la Is sued, aa It ta rumored will be the case, this may causa demonstrations of pro test against the Unltted State*.

Mr. Bacon, of Oeorgle, disapproved of the proposed change tin the rule*, and dn-lared ihl* purpoaei of doing everything In W* power to defeat the amendment. The methods pursued now by the Senate In hi* opinion were the beat poesible. They permitted full tlmo for and examina tion of ewry measure prestn'ted. As to the prop' el t lon of Mr. Mason to adopt a modification of the Reed rules, he assorted that tho House ot Repre aentnttlves operating rnn.lor thoeo rules, did not deliberate tipm any legislation. I( merely sug«o*te«l legislation which came to the Senate In crudie form and by It had to be put In proper legisla tive shape. He warned the Bona e that If 'the proposed rule were adopted. It toon would go the whole length and present titoe spectacle of ft ongress, nat only the House, tbnlt the Senate ads'), dominated by one or two men. Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, chal lenged the propriety of the presenta tion of such a proportion at. an ex traordinary aoseion. Reifeirring to tH*> of tho river and harbor bill, he raid: '"Phi* proposed rule Is offered a* I melfiT of revoll.gr." Mr. Plntt retorted' that he woe not In favor of the paesage of the river and harbor measure.-. Mr Wellington replied that while he was arguing against tlhe river and hat • tbor b3l. he wo* threatened unless he cea. c el hi* opposition, that a cloture rule would 1c presented and Its adop tion Insisted upon. v,J bow," lie fcaJd, ".to no i»rty and , to no man when my coiifdence teP» me that a mwaure i* wrong."

C., Special.—Rep'#- •cntatlve Cannon, chairman at the House commit Lee on appropriations, and Representative Livingston, the ■enlor Democratic member of .the ooas> mlttee, have prepared statements of the approprlationa cf the Ftfty-eptxth Con rreEß, which will be printed hi The Congressional Record. Doth place the local appropriations for the CongreM at $1,440,062,545, placing those for tho first session eft $710,150,86» and for the second at 1729,911,623. Mr. Cannon publishes a table shwwlng the expendi ture* of the previous Oougreas at $l - and Mr. Livingston makes a oempsHion with the *l#ty-f«irtl Cbucress. which appropriated $1,044,- 580,273. In his statement, Mr. Can non says: "Of the total appropriations mads at this session, at least 130,000.000 will not in the llghft or past expediences, be expended. This conquerable margin betwieen actual expenditures and ap propriations made by Congress ln d(carted a sum total of expenditures during the fiscal year -902 of not ex ceeding $699,911,683.07. This sum In cludes $53,000,000 on aiocount of tho sinking fund requirements for the fis cal year 1902, which, at course, under the torras of the law, will be met only to such extent as surplus revenues in the Treasury may permit. After meet ing the fullest ordinary 'requirements of the public. sarvLos under the appro priations which have been made thers will surely remain sufficient revenue tor 1902 to meet nictt less than $30,000,- 000 of the requirements cf the staking fundi "'The most marked increase Indicat ed In the approprlationa for ordinary expensed of the govetrnmisnit made for tho two years 1903 at the two sessions of 'this Congress over those of the two preceding years, 1599 and 1900, provid ed for by the Ftilfty-flfth Congress, Is for the postal servlco. The neocaally of i!ihe>e Increased appropriations to meet large business demands Is re ferred to as a cause for congratula tion. The appropriations have beon reduced $128,150,000 by this Congress under 'those provided for by its prede cessor and this has rendered possible a redueton of taxrfrn the sum of $41.- 000,000. W'.ilh/a continuance of the wlae administration enjoyed by the country there is every reason to antl cipatn a further reduction of public expenditures in the near future and a corresponding further reduction of ta«e»." Mr. Livtngs'.on says: "The Fifty fourth Congress was the last one that made appropriations for the support of the government prior to tha lie glmritnig of fhe Spanish-American war. The Fifty-sixth Congress is the flrft Congress appropriating for the sup port of the government since the cloie of the. Co-called Spanish-American war. The difference between the ap propriations maJo by the Fifty-sixth Congreai and those made by the Fifty fourth Congress amounts to $395,482,- 272. "During the aesskm Just closed the demands of the people, through their representatives, for the construction o' the Nicaragua Canal have gone uu heeded and.those for new public pulld- Ings have been* pefsl silently denied. The - river cinl harbor bill has ibecn permit ted to fell. The payment of Just claims of honest pooplo n«a!mrt the govern ment has not been provided for. "The most casual examination of this table makes comment practically unnecessary. Jt shows that the army for each of the two years prior to the Spanish American war cost a little over $23,000,000 atwl but llttlfe more than $46,000,000 for the two years cov ared by the Forty-fourth Congress, • while for eich of the two years Sim a' that war, 1901 and 1902, It costs slls, 000,000 or $230,000,000 for the twr. years, exclusive of deficiencies thai hove bf-eti' proivdfd for In large ►BUMS out of appropriations made tor ex penses of the Splhlsh war during the Fifty-fifth Cowgir «o. The navy cost for lh« two years, 1897-98, Is $63,362,- f|oo, while the years 1901 and 1902 the?e oupr prlr.tlonis amount to nearly sl4l, fion.ooo. For the payment of pensions the appr"prle'lons show an Increase at nearly $5,000,000 for the two yeats.
