ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.

BILLS PASSED.
Among the bills agreed to in the bouse yester-
day was one for the relief of the state of Connec-
ticut and other states The treasury department
having decided that vouchers presented by
Connecticut of amounts paid TO second as
sistant and other surgeons for services rem
dercd in connection with the raising
and organizing of volunteers are not adj
missable, the bill passed. 1t authorizes the
secretary of the treasury to settle the accounts
of the state on such vouchers Other states
similarly situated are included in the bill. Con-
necticut will be entitled to over SIT 900 if the
bill passes the senate. Mr.. Strong of Hartford
had the management of the bill. Another bill
from the committee of claims, which passed by
a large majority is of dangerous character.
1t goes back to former congress,
and pays the expenses of a sitting men,
Der in election contest. The amount
was only $1,000; but il the precedent is followed
it will take half million of dollars from the
treasury In the last congress and the present
alone, if this precedent is followed, not less than
500 900 will be needed to satisfy the claims due.
The committee of elections has refused steadily
to recommend payment to the man who keeps
or obtains the seat A moderate compensation
is allowed the unsuccessful contestant where he
had good reasons for his contest, to encourage
the investigation of frauds in elections. 1t is
said that the bill passed by combination of in
terests, and is soon to be followed by other
claims of the same sort. II is doubtful if the
house consents to send back the
SENATE ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION.
To do so is to place the power entirely in the
hands of the senate. Senator Morton ntimated
that his object in extending the session was to
make sure of the passage of the tariff tax bill;
but it is generally believed that the passage of
the kuklux hill is what is aimed at. Unless the
democrats of tbe house resort TO flibustering.
