LABOR VERSUS CAPITAL.
THE MALLORY LINE BOYCOTT
AT GALVESTON.

No Interference with Railroad FreiRhtS
at Interior Peints--PrOminent Knights
Apprehend General Strike on sll the
Roads Leading Out OF the City.
GALVESTON, Jan. 29.-There were but
few developments today in the "boycott'
organized by the knights Of Labor against
the Mallory Steamship Company. The
railroad officials say that no reports of de-
layed freights have yet reached them from
interior points. The effect of the boycott
will probably not be felt before Monday.
The Mallory freight houses here were
nearly empty OF incoming freight from
New York when the boycott was ordered.
The next steamer. which is expected to
arrive tomorrow evening, will probably
De unloaded by coloIed 'longshOremon
ed to begin when the railroads take freight
for the interior. Prominent Knights ap-
prehend "a general strike on all the
roads leading out OF galveston. Dur
ing November the boycott knights were
unexpectedly outwitted by the Mallory
company, who brought cotton down from
Houston on barges loading IL directly on
the steamers by means OF colored labor.
The Knights claim that they have taken
traffic, but Just how this has been done
does not appear. 1t has been ascertained
that two merchants of this city to-day
ordered their Eastern agents to ship via
other lines than the Mallory. II is now
made known that the subject Of a boycott
has been under discussion for a long time
by The local assemblies throughout the
State. All orders and Information on the
subject are communicated simultaneously
by the executive board, on printed slips,
to every local assembly in the State, and
TO every district assembly in the United
otateS. The boycott has the approval Of
Grand Master Workman Powderly and
the general executive committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-In the House
to-day, in committee Of the whole, there
was long discussion over the bill re-
ferring to the Court OF Claims for adjudi-
cation the claim of the personal represen-
tative of G. NJ. Briggs, deceased, for the
proceeds of captured cotton now in the
Treasury. Several amendments were
offered, spoken TO at length and subse-
quently Withdrawn. The first amend
ment upon which a vote was reached,
was one offered by Mr.. Holman.
authorizing the court to determine the
claim under the provisions of the Bow
man act, and to report to Congress the
cause Of delay in the presentation and
prosecution Of claim. This was rejected
by a voteOf "A to 81.
On motion of Mr.. ROwell, of Illinois, an
amendment was adopted, directing the
court to inquire into the l5yalty of g. NJ.
Briggs, and Of the person from whom he
obtained the title.
Mr.. Gibson, OF w est Virginia, suggested
the proprIety of amending the bill so as
TO require the court to determine whether
the cotton grew on loyal ground, was
picked by loyal hands, and was itself
loyal.
On motion OF Mr.. Burrows, of Michi-
gan, an amendment WAS adopted provid-
ing that if Briggs, or the person from
whom be derived the title, shall be found
to have been dislOyal the claim shall be
dismissed. The committee then rose and

INCREASE OF PENSIONS.
C-isD, OF Georgia, Opposes the Repeal of
tho Limitation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-In course Of
the session Of the House this evening Mr..
Crisp. OF Georgia, made a strong speech
against the policy Of increasing the rate
Of pensions, ard in opposition to the re-
peal OF the limitation on the arrears of
pension acts. He quoted from statistics
10 show that if the proposed legislation
were to prevail the Treasury would be
left IN bankrupt condition, and asserted
that one-third of all the Union soldiers
enlisted in the late war were applicants
for pensions, which, il granted. would
cost, though no increase were made in
the rate, the enormous sum OF $125 000, 600
a year. IL did not appear from this
that Republics were Qngratetul.
1t had been estimated that If
the repeal law was passed it would take
from the Treasury $500 S3G, 200, of which
sum there would be an Immediate pay
nent OF SSl,000000. This would run up
the pension appropriations for 1886 if not
another name was placed on the list, TO
SI60,000,O00. No government had right
TO take from the people IN taxation a doi-
lar more than was absolutely necessary
TO the economical administration of the
government and to provide literally for
the support of its manned soldiers. Was
there never 10 be reduction OF taxation? !?
Were expenditures always to come up
TO and even exceed the receipts
which were now obtained from
exOrbtSnt taXatiOns The people, he
represented, did nOt-seek to avoid all just
burdens that were upon them by reason
0t their participating in the blessings of
this government. They willingly con-
tributed, even of their poverty, to what
ever was necessary for the grandeur, glory
and practice of the country. They were
willing to pay whatever was necessary to
act in good faith ana literally with the sol
ders; buthe submitted thattt was hardly
right 10 ask them to 60 farther than tnat.
All he invoked at the hands of the House
was that the same care and same scru-
tiny, same principles of economy tnat ac-
tuated 1t in every other appropriation,
should be applied TO the consideration of
pension bills. He would not be parsimo-
niOus-he would be just and liberal; but
he did think that there ought to be stop
ping place.
The House passed fifty private pension
bills, and at :45 adjourned till Monday.
INVALID PENSIONS.
The House Committee on Invalid Pen
siOns to-day further considered the DILL to
extend the arrears of pension act to
1855. A report taVOring the adoption o.
the bill had been drawn up, but the COM
mittee deemed it best to await definite
information as TO the cost of the proposed
measure before recommending its pas
sage, and accordingly made II the special
order for Friday next.
