THIRTY-rHIRD CONGRESS,

WEDNESDAY, Jan. "A.
SENATE.-Mr. Seward, of New York. pre-
sented a petition from the inhabitants Of On
tario and Madison counties, New York, prav-
ing that the soldiers Of the war of 1912 be
made benedciaries of the bounty land BILL
Referred to the Committee on Pensions.
After some discussion relative to its taking
precedence of the Bounty Land bill, the Army
Appropriation bill was taken up.
Sundry amendments were offered, m ateri-
ally altering the complexion of the bill, but
no definite action was had upon il as a whole.
Mr.. Seward, of New York, from the Com
mittee on Commerce, reported bill to carry
the Reciprocity Treaty with the British North
American Colonies into effect; and asked that
the committee be discharged from considering
the petition of Messrs. Hustled and Crocht,
concerning Hurlgate distractions.
The Senate then adjourned.
HoUsE.-The House passed the resolution
to close the debate on the French Spohation
bill at o clock tomorrow.
The House then went into Com mittee of the
Whole OF the French Spoliation bill.
Mr.. Benton, of Missouri, opposed the bill,
as being game of the claims agents, who
throng the doors of the Capitol. He contend
ed that our commerce did not suffer during
the French revolution. 1t was, on the con-
trary, most prosperous during that period.
Mr.. Disney, OF Ohio, supported the bill.
Mr.. Chamberlain, of Indiana, spoke against
our government mediating in the affairs Of Eu-
rope. He conceded with Nj. Disney. as to
the juStness Of the claims under the French
Spolation bill.
The House then adjourned.
