Assisting Alnsk.i'4 Inhabitants. While Secretary Uusk has severely "sat down upon" thu proposition to statt an An- ; era gnat farm , It looks as t'louch ' congress would appropriate about ? i5OOJ with which to replenish tlio supply of domesticated rtiu- deer in Alaska , It appears from investiga tion that the Inhabitants of Alaska have not only no means ot transportation except the few reindeer in their possession , but they uro suffering fiom want of food and clothing. Until a few years ago they lived upon seal nnd walrus flesh , those animals abounding in profusion. Tno seal flsbois of late years have so raided the seal and walrus that It Is iiltnost impossible for the natives , with their little boats , to got onougn to supply them with food. Dui ing the past year or two they have gradually eaion their tow reindeer nnu docs. The domestic reindeer of Alaska are docile , hardy , and can travel with a sled or other wise Irom twelve to twenty miles an hour. They average in a day many moro miles than n horso. H Is necessary If the mines of Alaska are to bo worked that there bo moaus of travel. The natives have no vessels. They navigate the waters with canoes nnd small row boats. \ \ ith reindeer they could transport immense loads on carts nnd sleds. Some of the gold lields nro hundreds. If not thousands , of miles in the Interior , and the matter of transposition of food and tools Is a big item. It is not often that the federal government ontets into the live stock busi ness , but tbls appears to be an instance where It will do so. 'Mlseell\noom. Henry T.

In view of .ho fuel that the regular annual appropria tion bills remain In such condition as to war rant nn estimate of the total expenditure which will bo nuthorlzod at the present ses sion of congress , Mr. Siyors of Texas , n prominent member of the appropriation ? committee , In conjunction with the clerk of .ho committee , has prepared for Iho use of ho sneaker n statement of thu aptiropria- : lens made by the house bills. Mr. Savors : oday made tbo follo'wlng explanations of : hls statement : Ttio npptopriatlons at the first session of the FUty-llrst congress aggregated $ UU,1I01- O'.IS. This did not Include a htiffiir bountv ap liropriatlon of S10J.OUO and another of $40- iU7iuri ( for dependent pensions , making Mli- 107,005 , which the present congress must provide lor because of the laws which were Jtiactcd during the llrst session of the Fifty- llrst congress. "Our estimate of the approptlatlons to bo made at the present session ot concross , " said Mr. Siycrs , "Is flS..bJO.-l'J' " . None of the regular nppropilatlons have become laws , nnd but two urgent deficiency bills , amount ing to SIOIW105 ! , have passed : but It may bo assumed that this total may bo Increased or illnniilshed before the several bills become laws , They Unil Nn Itlxernncl Ilii-hnr 1IIII. "Tbo appropriations at the short sassloa ot last congress amounted to fVil , Ill.ilOJ. There was no river and harbor bill passed durlne that session , while the pending river and har bor bill involves an appropriation , ns re ported to the house , of il,2lit > , U7" > . My ica- son for adopting as a basis of comparison with the expenditures of thh congress the appropriations made at the short session of the Fifty-first congress is that It became nec essary then , as now , to appropriate SIOt7- ! ( ! 003 on account of pensions and sugar bounty , which were not provided for In tnc appro priations of the last session of the last con- gross. Supposing that the appropria tions of the short session of the present congress do not exceed those of the scnato proportionately , they will aggregate , excluding the river and harbor bill , $400,620- 4 ' , l , as compared with the appropriations of Iho short session of the Fifty-lirst congress , aggregating $311,141,07. ! . "The statement which I have prepared shows that the total appropriations to be mnclo by the present congress will bo loss bj about ? C 1,000,000 than the a of the Fitty-lirst congress. The estimate of revenue for the next fiscal your , as subnfiued b\ the secre tary of the treasury , is i ? 11fc,000,000 , wnleh will menu n dellclt in revenues ns compired with the expenditures of about $110.000,000. The estimate ot our appropriations for this session , ? 4S5)i2J,4'J'J ! , included a provision for tno sinning fund of fl Qi-'U.ooj. Of course , in view of thooxpeetou deficiency In revenue , the operations of tno law relative to the sink ing funu must bo suspended durinc the next year ns It has been already during the pres ent.year , to the extent ot , about ilOOOJ,000. " Mr. Itocil Dispels thu Illusion. Mr. Ueod commented on the above state ment in bis characteristic manner , as Ipl- lows : "All the above estimates are us mis leading ns n democratic platform. They cover otiy ! the Items passed upon by the house and are arrived 'ut by pinchla'cr'tbo ' honest expenditures of the government In such a fashion as makes oven democrats smile utnong themselves , for they know that tbo senate must increase them or starve the government. The senate is a co-ordinate brauch and not to bo ignored , happily for the country. After the needs of the country are really provided for , that is nftor the bills have really passed , with the sanction of botn houses , when that time comes wo shall know where wo nro. Until ihon there Is no real reason why Governor Sav ers should not put forth any guesses ho mav want to make , but tbo public should not mistake them lor facts. The illusion which it is sought to create is very old. Ono of the commonest devices of democracy for joars has been to pinch tbo appropriations in tbo bouso on neces saries und tnen make an outcry when the senate docs its duty. This Interlude before the appropriations are actually made is now being employed to give the country a false idea of economy. In tbo end when we got through everybody will see that this is n gioat country , and that oven the parsimony ( except as to Indiana ) of Mr. Ilolmnn cannot lo sou the expenses of a rapidly growing country. In fact this action of Governor Saycrs is but an effort to prevent the country from seeing the holloivneas of an attack on tbo billion congress which the present congress has to follow up whether H will or no. You will notice also that tbo compirison should have been wltn a corresponding pending session nnd not with a different one.
