PRIVATE CLAIMS.
MIR. Holman Thinks Congress Should Not
Legislate Upon Them.


Interview in Baltimore American.
Congress ought not to be expected or required
to legislate upon private claims. Every claim
which comes to us here is one which the law does
not allow. If it did it would be allowed in the
courts and not here. A very small proportion of
the claims sent here are just and yet we are ex-
pected to spend days and days discussing them
Our calendar is numbered up with them and the
bills of private nature reported to the House
have begun to be numbered by the hundreds
[ very well remember" continued Mr.
Holman, II very well remember my
! first experience in Congress with these
private claims 1t was a long time
ago, when first came here. We were as much
troubled with private claims then as we are
now. Those claims, however, were revolution
airy claims. Congress was full of them There
were great pack ages of continental money sent
for redemption, too. and heaps and heaps of pa
pers of revolutionary war claims. One claim of
&c., 900 was sent to me. 1t was for the niece of
some revolutionary claimant, and seemed to
me a just claim. / set to work earnestly in its
behalf, and the bill passed. After its passage
it went to the White house, and the President
sent for and asked me if l thought
he ought to sign the bill 1 told
him that 1 thought the claim "a just
one, and that it should be paid He said the
precedent was a dangerous one. but finally he
consented anu SlSHeu lHt DILL Inc money was
paid to the attorney who had been pressing the
claim, and reports We're received showing the
money had been distributed to the heirs, and
supposed everything settled satisfactorily but to
my astonishment, few years later a man
turned up claiming to be the legal and only heir
of the person in whose behalf the claim had been
made. An investigation of the whole matter
showed that the claim as presented and paid was
without authority, that the pretended di-
vision of the money among the
heirs was fraudulent, that the sigma
lures of the heirs showing the receipt of the
money were forgeries, and that the attorney who
presented and pressed the claim and got the
money had, with perhaps one associate, pocketed
the whole $4,000, while the original heir, who
was entitled to the money, if anybody was, got
nothing. Another reason which l have for
doubling the commences of mostof these claims
is that the claimants do not appear, either by
letter otherwise. 1t seems to me that if claims
were genuine, and the work of genuine claim
ants we should receive great many more let
ters i'll person from them than we do.

THE BONDED EXTENSION BILL.

Indications that the Measure Will Be De-
feated in the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-To-morrow it is ex-
pected the whisky bill will come up in the
House. The effrontery of its friends in claim
ing its passage has about subsidized indeed, there
are few people in Washington tonight who
will even feign faith in its passage, 1t has
been suggested, however, that this reticence on
the part of the advocates of the measure is
ominous of surprising strength and if vote is
reached tomorrow the whisky rings mode of
campaigning and its manner of arguing ques-
tiongs7 viii prove to have been very
effective. This may be; yet there
are so few who can claim
that they voice the sentiments of
their constituents in supporting the bill, that
the bill cannot be figured tonight as having
more than $50 out of 325 votes 1t is generally
believed that it will fail of passage by fifteen to
thirty votes.
LATER.-The whisky men, who intended to
take up the bonded extension bill again to-mor-
row, have been canvassing to-day and to night
They find that if they should come to a vote to-
morrow they would be defeated by at least
forty; therefore they have concluded to wait un-
til the peculiar influences which they are bring
ing to bear shall have better opportunity of
working They will make no further attempt
to pass the bill until next Wednesday. Work
they never so hard, their bill isevidently doomed
to defeat.
When the bill comes up, Mr.. Potter, of New
York, will move an amendment which, it is
thought by friends of the bill, will gain it the
support of some of those now opposed to it.
The amendment will be, in effect, that the IL
per cent interest on the tax, payment of which
it is proposed shall he extended two years, shall
be due either in advance or semiannually

Debate i'll the Reichstag to Extend the Law
for Its Suppression.
BERLIN, March 2l-In the Reichstag to-day
the debate upon the proposition to continue the
anti-socialist law was resumed
DR.. Hainel, the Pr ogressist, advocated the
reference of the matter to a committee If
the law were prolonged it would continue to be
Intellectual. At the same time it would increase
differences and promote the anti Semitic move
ment. He urgtd the rejection of the measure
Herr Won Kardorf favored the measure
claiming the international character of the Social
Democracy had become unlnstakable, opposed
the law and c6htended that it was unjust to per-
secute persons for holding and expressing par
ticular opinions. The government, he asserted
was not entirely free from blame for the recent
dynamite outrages at Frankfort.
Won Putkammer Prussian Minister of the
Interior, Indignantly repealed this insinuation.
Bismarck said the former Polish provinces
showed peculiar conditions, such as traditional
party divisions. AS long as this state of affairs
existed social democracy could not be eradicated
in these provinces The bill was referred to a
committee.

A PROPOSED NEW BOND.
MIR. POtters Bill to Refund the Public Debt
at a Low Rate of Interest.

Mr.. POtter's Bill to Refund the Public Debt
at Low Rate of Interest.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 2l--Members of the
ways and means committee state that the Potter
bill, which proposes to refund the bonded debt
of the United States into new long bond bear
ing IL per cent. interest, will be favorably
acted upon. The prime object of the bill is in
the interest of national banks, to furnish them
with bond which may be deposited with the
Treasurer of the United States to secure bank
circulation, and which it will not be possible to
call in and pay for many years. The Greenback
element in Congress and the foes of the national
banking system will oppose the measure by all
means in their power, however, upon the ground
that the banks are no longer a necessity, and
that they should be abolished. The old Green
back theory that the government only has the
right to issue currency, and should do so when
ever the demands of trade require additional
circulating medium. which has in part
been Endorsed by the recent finding,
of the Supreme Court is again brought forward
an argument against this BILL and the Green
hackers in Congress, together with the anti
bank men, may be strong enough to defeat Pot
ter's measure. Mr.. Hewitt of New York, mem
Der of the ways and means committee, says
however, that as soon as some questions which
have recently been propounded to the Secretary
of the Treasury shall have been answered, the
bill will be taken up in committee, and that
there is no doubt that as the sentiment is so
strongly In favor of the scheme it will be re-
ported and recommended for passage
Mr.. Potter, the author of the bill, says he has
recently been in New York city, where he con-
versed with a number of bankers and fnanciers
and that the bill received the cordial support of
all with whom he talked. Potter says that he
has not made full canvass of the House, but
from what he can learn, he is of the opinion that
the bill will pass though he does not think it
will go through without decided opposition,

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Watterson pronun-
ciamento to the Democratic members of the
House continues to be talked of by some in a
very serious way, while others simply laugh at
the audacity and presumption of the man. A
close canvass develops good deal of feeling on
the subject-not so much by the Randall wing of
the party, as by the Carlisle men. The feeling
of those who supported Mr. Carlisle for Speaker
against any such action is open and outspoken.
Judge Buckner of Missouri, who is one of the
oldest members of the House, a supporter of
Carlisle, and man of sound Judgment, when
asked this morning by your correspondent what
he thought of the Watterson pronunciamentc
said:
II think it very foolish thing. It emanates
from man of some genius. but possessed of no
political sense at all. Mr. Watterson nor any
other man in the Democratic party, or claiming
to belong to the party, Is authorized to dictate
to the party, in or out of Congress, how it shall
act 1 am in favor of a revision of
the tariff; the people demand it; but
am not going to attempt to
read men out of the party who differ with me,
which it is to be DONE / shall vote for the Nor
rison bill, but l shall not attempt to read men
out of the party who differ with me The tariff
question is to a greater or less extent local
question, and members must of necessity vote
on it according to the desires of their constitu-
encies, and they will be governed in their de-
mands by their interests. The Democratic party
can never be divided by the tariff question, for
the very reason I have mentioned 1 was OPP
posed to the present attempt to revise the tariff

us by the Republicans of the Forty seventll Con
gress. They created a tariff commission, and
gathered all the facts in their favor from their
standpoint during the recess of Congress, re

session, and enacted the present law. Now, we
