TIE GENEVA AwARD.-The subject of dis

the House judiciary Committee. Gen Butter
has called the matter up once for general dis
cussioo, which was very brief Several ship
owners have been heard. and several of the
great lawyers in the country have been heard
in behalf of the claims set up By the insurance
companies These Sl5,0m0O0 allowed the
Uuited States at Geneva are fast assuming the
shape of an elephant on the hands of the Gov
erumeut. As there are powerful interests at
work to secure the lions share Of this much
coveted prize it is going to be difficult ques
ton for Congress to handle, as the manner of
distributing this money will be not an easy step
to agree upon, there are SO many conflicting
interests among all those having the least
shadow of IA claim for part of the money. II
is not unlikely that the committee will agree
upon Judge ioand's bill; if so, the United
States goes into the court as an interpIea Ter,
and the claimants can prove heir rights to the
money before the court Wash. Chronicle.
