Very little money is going out of tho treasury ex cept for Immediate, running e.vpenaeik of the government Thia is in accord ance with a now policy adopted a short time ago, but not aerioualy felt until now. There was a conference lietween the president and the several cabinet officers on thU aubject and it was agreed that only such reuUitions aa could not by any povslbllity be delayed should be approved by Mr. Foster, and that the departments would have to put up with the inconvenience caused by ti.is policy. Requisitions for river and harbor improvements, for building bridges, for public buildings, for agricult ural school and many other public works have been held up in this way Where work is actually in progrea and money must be paid out the requisi tions are divided up so as to allow only about one-third to one-sixth of the amount asked for. On a requUlllon for a quarter's accounts sometimes only half a month' account ure audited and allowed at a time, mo as to draw the rest out of the revenues of months following. While work Is not yet in progress, as ia tho case with regard to many of the public buildings author ized by the last congrevs, and with re gard to some of the river and harlr Improvements, the starting of the work is delayed and no money at all is al lowed to go out DISS DEBAR.
