The Clerk read as follows : For an additional allowance for clerks at consulates, to he expended at the above-named places in the discretion of the Secretary of State, $4, 000. Mr. RANDALL. I make the point of order that the paragraph just read is new- legislation, and not in the interest of economy. I am willing to withdraw the point if the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. BURNES] can sho...w any necessity for the provision. Mr. BURNES. I call upon my friend, the distinguished chairman of the Com- mittee on Appropriations [Mr. Randall], to hear testimony to the fact that I am as reasonably economical as I think anybody ought to be. 144 JAMES N.
