Coucrrsumiin Ilmidurnon of Io\vu Quotes homo Inlrrcitlnc Figure-is. WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 10. Supple menting Senator. Allison's and Chairman Uolman's and Mr. Dockery's "Analysis" of the appropriation of the last congress , pub lished March. II , Mr. Henderson of Iowa , who is a member of the house committee ou ap propriations , gives his analysis of the work of thcTifty-second congress. Ho gives the total appropriations , including permanent appropriations , as $1,020,822,019 , exceeding the Fifty-first congress by IS,404&OC , an in crease of $ llfi,70" for each congressional district in the United States. Ho notices the charge that the senate makes the largo appropriations , nnd calls attention to the fact that the houso. at the session Just closed , scut their bills to the senate for tni3C87,2-12 , or at the rate of over $1,027,71H ) per annum. The house , ho says , is a 'bil lion-dollar house , " for its bills for the Fifty- second congress aggregated i 1.004.178,014 before they reached the senate. He asserts that , in addition to appropriations actually made by the Fifty-second congress , it. author ized contracts mortgaging future revenues in the sum of $ r > 8r > 2Gu2l. He says that if the Fifty-second conirress peeks to excuse itself by charging its ex travagance to the legislation of "tho Fifty- first congress , then the latter congress can inako similar claims against its democratic predecessors nnd the Fifty-second congress , aggregating over fl'l,700,001) ' ) . In regard to a deficit Mr. Henderson warns the administration to give closer atlontiou to "moonshiners" and the "whisky ring" in collecting internal revenues than It did from 188T. to 1B89 , when It collected * .11WfiG33 less than President Arthur and f liaKijUM : ! less than President Harrison.

IIAAI1AN TKI1ATY. Ill ritMlble I'nte An Opinion from n lie- puhllrnn Senator. WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 10. The course of the jrcsldent in withdrawing the Ha waiian treaty is still a matter of discussion among senators , though they are stopped from talking publicly upon the suojoet by the tradition that matters executive must bo regarded as a secret until such time ns the senate Itself removes the injunction of MM-rocy , which it has failed to do in the present instance. A republican senator who has taken an ac tive part in most of the discussions In tbo senate In recent years that have touched for eign relations said today that ho had re ceived nn intimation that the president was neslrnus of modifying the treaty , and that It would ultimately bo returned to the senate. One of the contemplated modifications was probably suggested by the protest of Queen UHuokalnui , made by Mr Paul Neumann , " : icr representative , which stated that a ma- [ nrityoftho Hawaiians were bitterly op posed to annexation. View * of a Ueiinhllran Senator. The senator thoueht it possible that the .resident might so far frame the treaty that annexation would depend upon the will of he Hawaiians , as expressed by a , > leblsdtum. Should the majority reject uincxatlon then a protectorate might be istablished. The senator thought that a nnjority of the intelligent population of the .slunds favored annexation , but among the ewer classes opposition would doubtless be "ound. Should these classes dominate then L protectorate would follow , and this In urn would result in annexation , because the United States could not undertake per manently to assume responsibility for the acts of the islanders without the power to control those acts , otherwise serious com- Mentions with other iwwers would ensue. Tlio senator further admitted that the treaty was ambiguous respecting the sugar bounty. While the general understanding was that it provided that this bounty should not be paid to the Hawaiian sugar pro ducers , there was a possibility of a different 'ntcrpretation of that section. Had the re- .mblican senate dealt with the question the trcatv would doubtless have been amended in tliis respect so as to make that point very clear. He thought it hardly possible that the president would abandon what had been gained In the negotiation of the treaty , for he had announced that he had withdrawn it for consideration , " and he would douotless return it in a modified shape to the senate , although he might defer that action until a competent commission had visited the Islands and made a report Ureshaui lntor\l < ' n the Commlsiloiicrs. The Interview between Secretary Gresham nnd Messrs. Thurston and Castle of the Hawaiian commission at the State depart ment this afternoon was brief , lasting only five or ten minutes. The secretary told the commissioners the treaty had been with drawn for consideration , and intimated that ho might desire some Information from the commissioners recarding the situation in Hawaii Messrs. Thurston and Castle stated that they would hold themselves at his disposal - posal and the Interview closed with n notifi cation by the secretary that when ho could got time to consider the subject ho would send for them. Secretary Gresham. just before ho saw the Hawaiians , was closeted for some time with Senator Gray , a member of the committee on foreign relations , who alone , of all the mem bers of the committee , did not sicn the re port recommending the ratification of the treaty The impression prevails in official circles that the treaty will not find Its way to the senate again during the extra session. rur.i : SILVKII SKNATOUS ox TOP. They Make Up the Tlnanm Committee of the Senate to Salt Themscltes. WAsrnxaTox , D. C , March 10. The Post publishes the folloxving : The work of arrang ing the senate committee chairmanships has so far progressed that nearly all have been se lected. The most interesting development is the fact that the free silver men propose to run the senate tholr own way , and are re casting the finance committee so as to leave no doubt of the stand which the committee will take upon any coinage bills that may come before it. The democrats on the com- mittuouptotho4th of Miirch.were Voorhoes , MePherson. Harris and Vance. Voorhees will bo chairman. Harris and Vance , bath outspoken free silver men , will remain. McPherson will step aside and take the .chairmanship of the committee on naval af fairs. The other democrats on the finance committee will bo Coke and Vest , both avowedly for free coinage. Thus it will be seen that no matter what Cleveland may de sire the personnel of the finance committee is such as to inako It almost impossible for him to dominate the financial policy to be followed by the senate. All the anti-silver men , such as Vilas , McPherson and others , have been purposely kept off the committee. Morgan will bo chairman of the committee on foreign relations , Cockrell of appropria tions , Harris of the District of Columbia , Gorman of printing , Mills of library and Palmer of military affairs.

Brubakor of North Da kota , Imprisoned in Spanish Honduras , the president transmitted to the senate yester day , in compliance with its resolution of the 3d inst , n report from Secretary Gresham , giving all the information in the department relative to the case. The papers show that Secretary Foster , Septem ber ! tt ) . telegraphed Minister Pucneco to look into the matter. October 1C Puchaco for warded a telegram from Secretary of War Alvarado of Honduras saying that Brubaker was ono of these who took up arms against the government and captured Truxillo , June SK > . When the uprising was put down Bru baker was captured , tried under Honduras laws nnd sentenced to seven years imprison ment , which he is now undergoing at Ouroa. Foster replied that ho did not see how the governmttut could do anything more ; but , us ho had assured Frank J. Thompson of Fargo that the minister would do all he could for Brubaker , he wished Pachoco would act ac cordingly.

C. , March 10. The sena tors composing tnc democratic caucus com mittee , appointed for the purpose of revising the senate committees , adjourned this even ing aftcra third session , lasting six hours. "We have accomplished much today , " said ono of the members , "although we arc not yet through with the assignments. " It is possible the committee will finish tomorrow and then will reiwt to a caucus which may bo called after the session of the senate Monday or Tuesday morning ; for if the senate committees are not reorganized by Monday the session will bo very brief and another adjournment will , iu all probability , bo taken for another three days , so that the democrats can , in the meantime , complete the work of reorganization. The fact that all the confirmations nro being he'd ' back , and that the apjiointeeR of Mr. Cleveland cannot hold office until they arc confirmed Is an lucentivo sufficient to cause the committee mitteo to bo as cx | > oditiouB as jwssiblc , and are losing no time.

LIXCOMT , Neb. , March 10. [ Special to TUB BEE. ] The opening gun of the city campaign was fired in the Fifth -ward last night. Some 2UO voters of that vrurd met nt the court liouso and selected thirty- two delegates to the city convention to he held next Tuesday. Everything went smoothly until some ono introduced a reso lution . instructing the delegates for M. I. Aitkeu of that ward for city treasurer. Aitkcn is the only avowed candidate for that ward , and according to general usage , ho would have boon given the ward to do with as he pleased. But some of the gentlemen who dabble in politics up that way are anxious for the ores- cnt city treasurer , who is uow serving his second term , to be re-elected. The gentle men are on the bond of the city treasurer , and the treasurer has some $21,000 cold cash in the Capital National bank , which ho will probably never see again. The treasurer is not very wealthy , and his bondsmen don't want to stand the loss. By putting two and two In the same box and shaking them up to gether it will be seen that they had some personal interest in getting Treasurer Stephenson re-olectca. They pleaded for re publican principle , and asked that the dele gation be not instructed. The friends of Senator Moore , who are booming that gentleman for mayor , joined hands with the Stepheuson men and talked for the doctrine of iionlnstruction. The dis cussion grew warmer and warmer , and epithets like "political coward , " "treach erous dealings" and "packed caucus" were bandied about. It was finally voted that the delegation will go untrammeled into the convention. The mooting is important also in view of the fact that it means there will be a united effort to force Moore as the nominee for mayor over the heads of the six other candidates , who are known as ma chine men. Holding the Caucu.io * . Caucuses were held in all the other wards except the Sixth and Fourth to-night The emissaries of the no instruction of de'.egates movement were present , but us the wards all had a favorite son they did not succeed very well. Primaries will be held at the usual places from noon until 7 o'clock tomor row , and the bitterest fight over waged in the city will be witnessed. In the First there will probably be no fight except on council. Halter will have the ward for mayor , and Mclloberts for excise commissioner. In the Second James Parker and Fred Krone will fight for the council. In the Third Green for city clerk has tied up with Stepheuson for treasurer and will light against the combined hosts of Bowen for clerk and F. A. Graham for mayor. In the Fourth II. B. Graham for mayor and Uclma for treasurer will fight Alva Kenuard for treasurer. In the Sixth , Incerman for clerk has tied up with the Wocns-Hoge council- manic ticket for a finish fight with L. C. Pace for mayor and George 1C Brown for council. City li > Brief.
