Mr. Dockery is recognised as an active, painstaking and candid man, whose authority in such matters Is gonorally respected on both sides of the House. Following is his comparative statement of the appropriations of the fifty-first and the fiftieth Congresses respectively FlAty-flrst Fiftieth Congress.

It la due not so much to any small number of great Jobs as to the reckless extravagance In every direction.

More than one-ball the excess Is distributed as follows Post office, (23,000,000 sundry civil, 000,000 naval, miscellaneous $12,000,000 and in tbe general draif-net of the Dftidenry $31,000,000. To sach extravagance there can be but one end a deficit. Mr. Dockery estimates that In Inly, 1892 on the eve of the Presidential election, by the way the deficit in the Treasury will be over $08,000,000. If It thould be much lees than that and still cxlfct, hi it most assuredly will, the accounting with the people will be a memorable one.

The following correspondence, anent the building and sailing of the steamship Koyal William, about wbow doings there has been some discussion, will be veiy interesting NonTlt EvANSTOWN, (Jook tlounly, Fubriiury 17, Archibald Campbell, Ieah Bib, It, Is with grout pleasure 1 takn my pen on hand, though In my H'Juil your or Kge, to acknowledge the receiptor your kind letler, under date lull and eonleuls noted. 1 hhull give you tho facts, as they occur to mo, its briefly as I euu, of which I am in pus-seMinu us tho siiperliilendonl. duly uppuintnd by the stockholders to Huperlniond, In all lis liuildlng or a sleamHiiip, aiier-MiirdM named 1 lie Koyal William.

Hour of thu loll, where 1 made several alterations In the lines as improvements. Mr.

Tn steamship being duly commenced the work progressed rapidly, anil in May following wasduly launched, ami before a large coneourse of people was Christ-t-ned the Hoyal William, In honor of the reigning king. Hho was then taken to Moat-real to have her engines, where I continued to mperlnlond tho finishing of tho oahlns and ueek work. When completed she had her dial trip, which proved quite autlslaetc lloliiirliild 1.. ni.uouu iwuii iinnw leuu sue only made a lew lrlPJi'Tiallfax.

iuenextyearwiiH in.vt, Vtib cliolern made ts appearance, andshe ttdesllne(, tr) 18.1.1, 111 AUI, for sale, where Bhe arrived of 26 days, under command ol McUoiunll. who nave a ver ne account of her good nualilles. Hhe v. us put up for sale and sold to the Hpanlsh Government, retaining Captain MeOougall as commander, remaining In charge tor several years, coming back to tiuelwo with high honors from the Spanish Government. Hhe was actually the HrNt steamship to flio a gnu la action, which 1b something of an honor for (Quebec.

Now as to her being the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, there can be no doubt, as the was built expressly for a "sea-going steamship." I hud not the slightest Idea of her (allure to reach London as a saa-golng steamer. Klght here li me U-ll you, though! WHHoniy'JI years old, I was fully master of my business, as Mr. Simmons said when ho spoke to me about going out. 1 asked htm the uuesthm, Do you think mo capable 1 1 am so young." "James, If 1 did not think you capable 1 would not recommend you." That was enough for an ambitious youth as I was; 1 had been lit the actual bullulng, as assistant foreman to Mr. Wm.

Hlmmons, ot Uruenoek, Heollaud, with whom 1 served my aanrentioo-shlp, of four such vessels as the Royal William, to cross llio Irish channel, where no rougncr seaean hi-, having made the trip to Iieliust In one of them myself. 1 Was ulso loieman apprentice, In my last year, In building a steam yacht of the same style as the Koyal illiam, of 400 tons, but much sharper, for Don l'edro. I merely mention these facts to show 1 was duly Uallllod. It was during that time I was spoken to by Mr. Hlmmons to engage to go to Uuchec'to superintend the building ol the Koyal William.

1 Miitll now explain why 1 think the Royal William Is emit led to tho credit of having been the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, because the havuuan snip American) was a lull rigged packet ship, built for asulllngslilp, bin by some ambitious desire of the owner, he conceived the Idea In lull), fourteen years prior to the Koyal William, to lit till a small steam engine on the deck of that ship, and hud It so constructed that sirialf wheels wero put on the shaft, which In stormy weather could bo easily unshipped and hoisted on deck and to be used only In tine weather, thus he was only experimenting on the adaptation of steam for propelling on tbe ocean. He seems lo have got sick of the experiment, for on the return of the ship the engine was taken oil and laid aside to let the Royal William, fourteen years afterwards, and the Canadian public, show to your Yankee cousins how steam could adapted to ocean navigation. Mr. Campbell, trusting thlssketoh of mine about the Royal William and Kavanah may lie sullicleiitly authentic, 1 shall conclude, trusting you may be, as 1 am, in perfect good health, and that you may live for many years to come to enjoy ho world ail best we can.

It Is proposed to have a Royal Naval exhibition In London, England, In May next, of which our (iraclous Queen Is I lie patron and lie Prince of Wales Is president. Knowing that th model of the Koyal William was In possession of the Literary and Historical Ho-clety of Quebec, I considered, as the Navigation committee of said exnlbillon gave out, that they hud arranged "to have a complete and historical collection of objects connected with navigation on exhibition;" that the model of Hie first steamship that crossed the Atlantic would be an object worthy ot attention, and therefore moved at the annual genera! meeting ol the society In Januaiy latt, seconded by Mr. W. C. N.

Wood, that the model In question should be sent to I lie exhibition. This application was acceded to. However, hslore sending it off, 1 notified the honorary secretary uptain Jeplisoii, It. who in aixwer meatebedule to have Idled up, but dl "It Is do use, however, unless it can be well authenticated that the vessel was actaally the first nenmslilp to cross the Atlantic The it mmlttee are veiy particular mbout propir authentication, etc." (If course, I fell till lull force of his remarks and saw the mwj-silyof taking every precaution lo nibltaali-teonr pieleiisliins. as well for tho honor of oureUy.

Of the fivo prizes offered for competition during tho coining season under the rules for proven record, two, theUeorge W. Chllds trophy for distance in tbe day and the World's watch lor the best average speed from 200 miles or Over, breaking tho record, are open to all, while tbe others are for sectional competition. These are the Royal Blue line's $'15 fortlie best average speed from 200 miles or over through the season, open to lofts In tbe Atlantic status, and the Koopar cup for the sume to a Now England loft. The fifth, a gold lug band, Is for the bust speed from Now York city to a Now Eng. land bft, the distance varying uccordiug to tbe location of tbe home.

As birds of lofts from New London, to Portland, are already booked to lly from Now York city as a training station, the probabilities are that In the trials for tbe leg band there will bo changes made lu thu figures which gtund for speed In journeys from less than 200 miles. Three birds are reported duad this week. One, Young Bunny, of Henry Wagner, Robllndule, went out one morning with tbe rest for exerclue and has not en seen since. This bird, rcg. II 401, besides being considered the handsomest blue checker in New England, was one of the five winners of the George W.Childs prize in 1880.

In 1887, the year it was batched, it made the journeys from 150, 230 and 37S miles. The next year it returned In all the journeys up to and Including that from 405 miles. In 1889 It returned from 150, 236 and 376 mlloa and finally from Bt. Thomas, Ont, 525 miles, making the journey In les than 11 hours 50 minutes. Tbe second loss reported Is the Wonderful Bird of the Royal Blue Line (light or Thao.

Tbat tbera la a good treat In store for our play-goers Is evidenced by the fact that Rudolph Aronson's Opera company announce tbe latest Casino success, "Poor Jonathan," for an engagement at tbe Academy of Music, commencing Monday evening next.

The opera has run for over 3C0 nights In Vienna, aud 140 In New York, "Poor Jonathan's" melodies and bright, witty dialogue, have set two continents wild with enthusiasm. The old cry ol Give ns something new has been gratified in this instance. Poor Jonathan is an entirely new departure In comic opera, as ibe entire abrinte of tights will show. Tbe publij hart tired of Ibe old conventional idea that rrndc opera mo 'it bare tights to be successful. This feature has been entirely eltnla-et'd in this instance and ths success of Peer Jonathan shows tbe benefit derived.
