AMERICAN MINISTER
POST IN AUSTRALIA FORMALITIES IN CONGRESS February 27, 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 Congress to-day moved two steps toward the creation of a XTnited States Legation in Australia. The most important was the authorisation by the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives of funds to enable Mr. Clarence E. Gauss, the recently appointed United States Minister to Australia to go to Australia promptly. His departure from Shanghai, where he was United States Consul-General, has been delayed partly because he was awaiting the authorisation of Congress. The full House, also the Senate, must approve the provision which is at a rate of 10,000 dollars a year, but undoubtedly it will be fully authorised within a few, weeks. - * , The Senate to-day began the consideration of the regular State Department appropriation for the year, beginning in July, in which, is an authorisation for the Minister to Australia for a full year. This the House has already approved. . •
