THE GRANT BILL.
How It Was Knocked Ont OF Time
by Mr.. Randall.

Philadelphia Times special.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-General Grants
retirement bill may be considered a. dead.
Il died still.born today st 8 O'Clock. In
fact, II cannot be said Iuthfully that Il
lived long enough TO be born at all, In.
ssmuoh as its existence depended upon
getting the fresh sir Of the House, and Il
didn't get even q hearing. The Grant
bill had the second place to-day for
chance under suspension Of the rules.
General Slocum was TO have called Il up
when the military committee was called
and the military committee was preceded
by the committee on foreign affairs.
By one Of those curious condolences
which often shape Legislation toward the
close Of the session the bill from the
foreign Affairs committee was long one,
establishing, revising and regulating
consular courts, and Mr.. Hit Of Illinois,
who was himself once q oonsui, had
adopted II as his peculiar hobby. Mr..
Hit had laid himself ont on this bill and
was unintentionally the means Of laying
out Grant. Mr.. Randall called promptly
for the reading Of the bill.
Now. II covered 80 finely written
pages and the reading clerk
groSned Audibly as he eyed the mass
Of manuscript. There was no help for
II. The statesman from Psnnsylvsnia
said II would never do TO pass bill Of
that character without being read. Il
was explained that II was the same bill
that had before been read and had bean
printed. Randall insisted and the
clerk began. II consumed two hours.
Not single member listened and most Of
them disappeared for the time being,
leaving the clerk to himself.
After the reading was finished an
hours debate followed under the rules.
II the rules had allowed two hours In
stead Of one every minute Of the time
would have been consumed. The vote by
geAs and nays brought the time down 70
a O'Clock. An effort was made 10 dispense
with the reading AZ the names, but Mr..
Randall objected, and the names were
read. When all the time that could be
taken up had besn consumed Mr.. Lowry
OF Indiana moved TO adjourn.
Not q word had been said about Grant
or the Grant bill, but everybody knew
what all this meant. The Consular bill
had majority, but failed fer want OF
two-thirds, and some Of those who were
interested In 1t were mad enough 70
adjourn and several stalwsrt Republicans
voted with the main body Of the Demo.
Gratis for adjournment. Tellers and yeas
ard nays followed and finished the day
day and the Grant bill together. There
Ia no chance for the bill this session, and
In the opinion Of some 1t Is probably
settled for good, though some Democrats
are willing to tx up Grant whom Justice
has been done to Fits John Porter.
