ware 146, eos. They are, however,
assigned one member each under the

The House spent the entire after>
noon On the Deaciency Appropriation
bill, appropriating about 81, 800, 900
for sundry dsficisncies for the present
year, and passed it. The bill appro-
PIRATES s400, 900 for public printing
and binding, $4,000 for freight on
bullion between assay Offices and
mints, $1,000 for vaccination of In
diAns, $50, 900 for aid Of civilization
and agriculture among Indians, $780,
900 for the payment of the clerical
force In the Pension 0fficeland ga, 600
for expenses ut the White House.
During the discussion on the bill, Mr..
Browne Qnd.) furnished the House
some very interesting figures on pension
matters. He proposed to increase the
appropriation for the Pension Bureau to
enable it to more promptly close its bus
iness. He said there were 800, 1892 pend
log claims; that new onss were being
filed ut the rate of 2,7l0 per month; that
by the present slow methods it will take
ten to eleven years to close the pension
business; that the present system OF pas.
sing upon claims on ex-parte evidence
exclusively is dangerous, as under such
| u plan the exact truth is seldom ascer
talned; that the Government had already
paid out over $500, ,000, 900 ON pensiOnS
and 1t was estimated that the sun
would reach the enormous amount o
$3.50, ,00o. 900 by 1905. BE insisted
upon prompt payments, but demanded
thai q system be adopted thst would saw
the Treasury from spoliation. He saiC
that soldiers who put their lives in peri
( TO defend the nation from Its armed foe
| would not now attempt to plunder th'
Treasury, aud he delivered panOgyrlt
on the heroism and integrity of the sold
iery Of the Union army.

der.
From the Albany News and Advertiser.
Early Monday morning, before day
light, Mr.. q. 4. West OF Albany, Ca,
walked out toward his lot, and had his
tsntioR attracted by terrific quack-
Ing am ing his geese. Approaching
where the geese we're, he heard dut-
tsring noise, as If some ofthem were
lighting. Upon resohinR the corner of
the fence from nence tue noise came,
he expected TO find tWo old ganderA
hRhtlDg, but he discovered great big
owl and an old gSnder fighting for dea
lite. Both birds wir, complt tely ex-
hausted, the owl being unable to hy
away at the approach OF Mr.. WOst.-
Upon investigation it NaI found th at
the fight had been most desperare oBs.
Feathers were sea teLed,aLG Lbe ground
was torn up for fifteen or twenty feet
around. The supposition 10 that the
owl, which was an immense bird, meas
urIng four feet and seven inches from
tip 10 tip of his wings, swooped down
into the drove Ofgeose and was at once
pounced upon and engaged by the
sturdy ol gander.
