Apprcprlatlng 31.542,979 to pay claims oI

or. the support of prisoners of the courtal
176,134 to pay clerks of members of the

The principal Items still In dispute are
he following : Increasing the appropriation
or the customs service from 800,000 to
:1,200,000 : ; appropriatIng $150,000 for pay.
dent of injuries on account of the Ford
beater disaster ; Increasing from $50,162 to
101,861 the allowance on. . account of con-
ests in the house of representatives.
The indIcations are that the general decency -
cency ! appropriation bill will not receive
he president's signature , owing principally
0 objections to the items appropriating
1,500,000 for the payment of French spoIl-
lion and Bowman act claims. It is prob-
ble , however , that the bill wIll not be
etced , but will be permitted to became a
