D.'C. , March 8. The con
trovcrsy na to the comparative expenditures
of the "billion dollar congress" and the last
ono Is still nn. and though the clerks of the
committee on appropriations of the two
houses have completed their statements ,
they do not agree. The senate committee
confines Itself to the absolute appropriations
made , \vhllo the house committee In Its total
appropriations of the Fifty-first , or , ns It was
called , the "billion dolhirconjrross , " Includes
what arc known as Indefinite appropriations ,
inado 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 samo.
Mr. Allison , chairman of the senate com
mittee , has prepared a statement that
uhows that the appropriations for the first
session of the Fifty-first congress amounted
-IG.V)09.G10t ) and for the second session ,
to3r ,018,1ir.i , making a grand total of JOSS-
417,182. The appropriations for the first
session of the congress Just ended show the
work of the first session 1507,000,180 , for the
second session , > 1D , ! ISQI , a total of $1,026-
832,01" , nn increase of by the Inst congress
over the republican congress of $33-105SKi.
The real question for the people to consider ,
says Mr. Allison , Is whether the appropria
tions are In excess of the revenues of the
povernment. Ho answers that by saying
that they am not when the sinking fund is
excluded. With all these appropriations he
llnds that the revenues of the government
are sufficient to meet them.
Dcmocriklln I-'ljjure'i.
Mr. Holinan , chairman of the house com
mittee , concerning the appropriations of the
Fifty-second congress , says that the appro
priations of the session amount to $ r > lUfil- ! !
W51. From his point of view , the appropria
tions of the Fifty-first congress aggregated
$ loa"iCSOU21 , and that those of the Fifty-
second congress amount to ? lir.iS ! ( ! ! , U47 , or
$3,804,87-1 less than those of the Fifty-first
congress.
Mr. ilolman will present a statement of
appropriations made by the Fifty-second
congress , as charged against It under perma
nent appropriations , In nccoidatico with re
quirements nf law , enacted uy the Fifty-first
congress , There are Included sums aggre
gating in all $154,172.040. Judge Ilolman
states that if these appropriations had not
been mnde. ns required , the appropriations
of the Fifty-second congress would have
shown a reduction of more than $10:1,000,000 :
from those by the Fifty-first congress.
Mr. Dockercy of Missouri , a member of the
committee on appropriations has also prepared -
pared a statement , which agrees with that
of Mr. Hnlman , as to the appropriations of
the present congress compared with those of
the last. Ho further says Unit the appro
priations of the last congress , exclusive of
pensions , are $ .ri.'iC271r.b' ) less than the ap
propriations of the Fifty-first congress.
With reference to the probable deficiency
tit the end of the fiscal year , ho says : It can
not bo stated with absolute accuracy
whether the treasury deficiency will bo
greater or less than ? T ,707,5-1'J , for the reason
that there are certain amounts carried in the
appropriation bills which in their expendi
ture can bo somewhat regulated by the ex
ecutive departments , but if they move with
ordinary dispatch , the deficiency will prob
ably not bo less than the amount stated.

Democratic Senator * Split on the
tlon of the 1'limncn Committee.
WABIIIXOTON , D. C. , March 8. It is said
that the democrats caused an adjournment
until Tuesday iu order to enables the caucus
committee to como to a decision as to the or
ganization of the committees and the ap
polntmcnt of officers of the senate. They
were in caucus all yesterday without coming
to an agreement. It is discovered that more
time will bo required because of the very
sharp contest over the organization of the
committed on finance. The probability
now is that the democrats will not
bo 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 bo nn adjourn
ment at once until Monday , remaining in
session long enough only to receive such
nominations to office as Mr. Cleveland may
then have ready. The chief contest is over
the republican representation on the com
mittee on finance. It becomes moro evident
every hour that the administration is deter
mined that the committee shall bo organized
iu accordance with its own wishes , whatever
may bo the disposition of the democratic ma
jority in the senate. The first point to bo
disposed of is to determine what shall bo
clone with Daniel W. Voorhees. Ho stands
at the head of the list on the aemocratlo
side of the remnant of the committee. Under
the usages of the senate ho is entitled to the
chairmanship. Hut Mr. Voorhees Is a free
silver democrat , is in poor health and is not
the man whom the administration desires to
have in that i > osltloii. It is evident from the
plottlnir that is going on that the adminls-
tratlon Intends to bring the finance question
to the front.
A member of the finance committee , who
desires to bo made Its chairman , according
to a statement , of ono of the most prominent
of the democratic senators , is Mr. John Mc-
L" Phersou of Now Jersey. Ho. showed a little
L"r feeling toward the administration through a
r witticism uttered in the senate the other
day when ho said that the party would soor.
have control of nil branches of the govern
ment and might possibly have a majority of
the cabinet. But Mr. McPhcrson's views on
the financial question are those which meet
the approval of Mr. Cleveland and Wall
street. Ho Is what Mr. Bland would proba
bly call a "gold bug. " Hois a single standard
man , although If forced to it uixm the stump
probably would endeavor to make it appear
that ho believes iu the use of silver in coin-
ago.
ago.A prominent member of the caucus com
mittee said this evening Unit until the sen
ate was organized , at least so far as the com
mittees were concerned , there would bo no
notion upon any nomination that the prcsl-
ilont might send in. For this reason it was
Imperative that the caucus committee should
do Its work as fast as possible.

Attorney Council and City Engineer Uoso-
watcr , who were at Lincoln Tuesday evening -

got very little satisfaction as to the pur

It is believed by Mr. Conncll that the com-
( mittce will in its reportnto the senate recom
mend changes in several provisions of the
bill as prepared by the committee of fifteen.
The section against whidh the most deter
mined fight is made is that providing for the
tax commissioner. Tl\oso \ who visited Lin
coln expressed themselves to the members of
the committee that they would raise no
serious objection to the change , provided
that the radical defects in the law , which
the courts have declared exist , ate corrected.
This may result In modifying the opposition
and remove the danger that seems to
threaten the charter measure. Another visit
will r.oon bo paid to Lincoln in the interest
of the bill.

Tlioy Cause Trouble Which May Lead to n

NEW YOIIK , March 8. [ Special Telegram
to THE BEE. ] The archbishops of the coun
try may , it is affirmed , hold a special meeting
at the earliest favorable moment to consider
a protest against the recent instructions of
the propaganda to Bishop O'Farrell with re
gard to married Greek priests living in his
diocese. The question threatens to assume
an acute phase In the opinion of many people.
Willie oriental Catholics iu certain districts
are accustomed to seeing married and celi
bate clergy living in some sort of harmony
the west has a 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 hayo.not succeeded in ex
citing the interest of the officials who have
charge of American affairs on the subject. It
is probable the archbishops will take the
matter befoo Mgr. Satolliand induce him to
sustain a lormer decree oven to the point of
dismissing married priests.

Now thnt the school board knows what to
depend upon in the way of funds for school
purposes , the much needed improvements
are the subject of discussion at board meet
ings and among the citizens.
At the present tlmo there are twenty-six
school rooms in use in th-j citv for tlio ac
commodation of nearly 3,000 pupils. An av
erage of fifty to a room , which is probably
too high , shows seats for 1500 ! people , or less
than half the school population. Great as
has been the work of these in charge of thri
educational Interests of the city in tlio way
of building aud providing room for the
marvelous increase of population , pupils have ,
in several instances , been obliged to attend
school half tno day , and dyop out to make
room for others the balance of the day.
