THE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
BOynton's Exoneration Accomplished
Without Debate.

WASHINGTON, April lin the House
to-day Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, from the
Committee on Appropriations, reported
back the Senate bill authorizing the Sec
retary of the Navy to offer a reward Of
$4,000 for rescuing or ascertaining the
fate Of the Greedy expedition. After
brief debate, principally devoted to badi-
mage between Messrs. Belford, of Color
ado, and Weller, of Iowa, the bill was
passed.
Mr.. Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, as pri-
vileged matter, called up the resolution
declaring that the charges against H. Y.
BOyntOn were not sustained by the evil
dence, and that there is no ground for any
action by the House. He stated that the
committee reporting the resolution did
not desire to debate it. Mr. keifer, of
Ohio, author Of the charges, was present,
but did not see fit to make a speech, and
the resolution was adopted without oppo-
sitiOn.
The House went into committee OF the
whole, with Mr.. Springer. of the Illinois, in
the chair, on the pension appropriation
bill. The bill appropriates $20,684, 400
and reappropriates an amount estimated
at S66,OOO,OO0. The appropriations for the
current year were 1926. .000,0 900, of which
first half Of the year.
Mr.. Keifer, OF Ohio, advocated the policy
OF raising the limit of the fee allowed to
lawyers in certain pension cases.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, gave notice
that he would at the proper time move to
strike out the second section, which limits
lawyers fee to $40 in cases Of arrears
of pay, lost horses and bounty lands.
After further debate and without action
the committee rose.
The Speaker then laid before the House
a message from the President, submitting
a special estimate from the Chief of ord
nance for permanent annual appropria-
tion of $l50,00GtO provide the necessary
armament for sea coast fortiticatlons. The
President says: ''In presenting this esti-
mate | do not think it necessary to emu
merate the considerations which make it
of the highest Importance that there shall
be no unnecessary delay in entering upon
the work, which must be commensurate
with the public interest to be good, and
which Will take much time.o The message
was referred, and then at 8 o'clock the
House took a recess until 1870 O'Clock,

sideratiOn Of pension bills only.

SEVEN THIRSTY YEARS.
Men Who Pledged Themselves to Sobri

Men Who Pledged Themselves to SObri-
ETY. Until a Democrat is Elected.
The day after the decision of the Elec-
toral Commission declaring r. B. Hayes
President of the United States was rem
dered, says Chicago special of the New
York World, twenty middle-aged men
met before the bar of a Madison street
saloon to take drink of whisky. 1t was
to be the last drink of whisky they were
to take until a Democratic President
should be inaugurated. They had made
a solemn VOW to this effect. and the
penalty that was fixed for breaking it
was fine of 500. If any fines should be
collected the money was to be placed in a
bank and expended on the Inauguration
of a Democratic President in fittineIv
celebrating the end of their period of
probation.
That was seven years ago, and the time
is now drawing near when they SAN
guinely hope they will be absolved from
their oath.
OF twenty, two have died, five have
proved backsliders, four Of them paving
their fines and the fifth being too poor to
do so. This leaves thirteen of the original
twenty, and, as far as is known, they have
not violated their pledges.
One OF those who took the pledge is John
PEARSON, waiter at the Sherman House.
Pearson has lost couple of fortunes. He
has been in business off and on since 1854,
and is particular crony of b. p. Hutchin-
son, the millionaire grain and commission
man.
"Yes,w he admitted when spoken to-.
81 am one of the twenty. / have never
tasted drop Of whisky since 1876 None
of us were very hard drinkers, but we all
drank enough to make it terrible priva-
tion to quit so suddenly. If a Democratic
President should not be elected for twenty
years we were to keep our pledge. There
was no limit or condition.

A BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Texas and the Indian Territory Each
Claim a County.

Claim County.
A long and lively debate occurred in the
House to-day, says a Washington special
of the Sth inst. to the st. Louis Repu5li-
can, over the bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint commission to run and
mark the boundary lines between por-
tion of the Indian Territory and the State
of Texas in connection with a similar
commission to be appointed by Texas.
Members of the Texas delegation were
very active in their support of the bill,
which would have been readily passed
had 1t not been tor the opposition of Reed
of Maine, HOrr, of Michigan, and KassOn.
of Iowa, who claimed that they had dis
covered in the text of the bill peculiar
language intended to put the United
States Government at disadvantage, but
they did not succeed in convincing the
House OF this, especially in view of the
fact that the results of the work of the
proposed joint commission are to be re-
ported to Congress, and that nothing can
be definitely determined without further
legislation.
The territory in dispute is known as
Greer county. AS passed, the bill con-
talns the following provisions relative to
the duty of the proposed commission: 1t
shall run and mark the boundary line be-
tween that portion of the Indian territory
and the State of Texas in controversy.
and the commission shall, as far as possi-
bic, ascertain and determine the Red
river indicated and intended by the treaty
between the United States and Spain Of
date February %, 1919. In running and
marking the boundary line the commits
sion shall proceed as follows: Beginning
at the point where a line drawn from the
point where the thirty-secOnd degree of
north latitude crosses the western bank
OF the Sabine river, running due north,
strikes Red river, and thence following
the course of SAID Red river westwardIy
to the degree OF longitude 100 west from

phia, improved to the 1st of January,

Mr.. Keifer's Humiliation.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-If Mr.. Keifer
could possibly be crushed he would be so
now. The report of the committee which
investigated his charges against Gen.
Boynton was adopted to-day by the House
without dissent. Even Mr.. Keifel, who
was present, did not vote against it.
Messrs. Reed, Hancock of Texas, and
several others maneuvred all the morn
ing TO get strength to lay the report on
the table when brought up, but their eff
forts were futile. They could not get a
corpOraPs guard. Keifer next moved on
Mr.. Blackburn, who is socially his friend.
He asked him to go to Speaker Carlisle
and request the latter not to recognize
Mr.. Hopkins when he moved to take up
the Boynton report. Mr.. Blackburn did
so, but Mr. Carlisle said that the question
was one of the highest privilege, and he
could not refuse recognition. So the re-
port was adopted and Mr.. Keifer was sat
down upOn.

BLAINE's BOOM.
He is a Long Range Candidate.


Mr.. Blaine's heelers are making great
deal af noise in his behalf, says the Troy
Times, and if their assertions were to be
fully credited it would appear that the
Republicans everywhere, with very few
exceptions, want him as their candidate
for President. But somehow it always
happens that his greatest popularity is
represented to be at n distance. Out
West, for example, people are told that
the East and South are almost unani-
m0usly for him. In the East we are told
that the West and South are fairly cry
ing to have him nominated. In the South
it is claimed that the East and West are
ablaze with enthusiasm in his cause, and
are determined not to be denied. And,
strangely enough, the nearer one gets TO
the localities where Blaine boOms are said
to prevail with most intensity. the echoes
of his praises grow fainter in the dis
tance. Wherever one happens to be, just
there some candidate other than Blaine
Is preferred as a general rule

THE MEXICAN TREATY.

An Official Note With Regard to 1t.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The Secretary
Of State has sent to the Ways and Means
Committee an official note informing the
committee of the ratification of the Mexi-
can treaty, and calling attention to pro-
vision of the treaty requiring legislation
on the part of Congress Tor carrying the
treaty into effect. The Secretary submits
the form of bill which he recommends to
the favorable consideration of the COM
mittee. 1t provides, in effect, that when
ever the President Of the United States
shall receive satisfactory evidence that
the Mexican Congress has passed laws on
their part to give full effect to the pro-
visions of the treaty, he is authorized to
issue a proclamation declaring that he
has such evidence, and thereupon, from
date Of such proclamation, the articles
enumerated in the treaty, the growth and
manufacture or produce of Mexico, shall
be introduced into the United States free
of duty so long as the treaty shall remain
in force. The bill has not yet been taken
up for consideration by the committee,
but it will undoubtedly be reported this

WAsHINGTON, April 11.-W hat attitude
will be taken by Republicans and by the
Randall tariff men when the Morrison bill
comes up next Tuesday is a matter of
great interest. Mr.. Kasson is making a
strong fight to induce the Republicans to
vote for consideration and secure discus
sion. Some of the Randall men are also
in favor Of taking up the BILL There have
been informal conferences on the subject
to-day. The Republicans came to no con-
cluslon. The Randall mems confer
ences amounted to the same thing.
They are awaiting their chiefs re-
turn before deciding. 1t seems now.
however. that the Randall men
will not vote against consideration. Mr..
Eaton, who is one of them, said tonight
to the News correspondent that it would
be absurd on the part Of any Democrat to
try to prevent the tariff discussion 1t
would be. he said, like schoolboys who
Will not play unless they have their own
way. 1t would tend, he said, to intensity
the differences among the Democrats. He
thought that he could safely predict that
the tariff Democrats would not try to
choke off the debate. Some Republicans
are now taking the view that it would be
impOlitic not to meet the Democrats. and
to stand off as if they were afraid of dis
cusSing the matter.
