General David R. Hunter.
In advocating the passage of the bill
over the Presidents veto, Butterworth of
Ohio cited various precedents where
widows of General officers were granted
$50 monthly, ard he protested against the
House making fish of one and flesh of
another The trouble in this case, he
thought, was that General Hunter had pre-
sided at the Fiiz John Porter Court-martial.

have signed the bill.

The President and Rejected Nominations
WASHINGTON, July 30th.-A prominent
member of the Illinois delegation, who
talked with the President, quotes the latter
as saying that where the Senate fails to act
upon the nomination of certain persons be-
fore adjournment, such persons will be i'm
mediately reDominated by him and per
mitted to qualify, but where the Senate has
rejected nomination, he will make 1t a
rule neither to renominate such person for
his original place nor for any other.
The President is disposed to regard the
Senates action in such matters as final. e
does not believe its rejection of a nominee
is based on other than good and sufficient
reasons, and he is willing to be governed
by its decision. The only exception he
would like to make would be in the case of
Solicitor General Goode. He believes Mr.
Goodies rejection was due solely to the per-
sonal antagonism of Senator Malone, and
his first impulse was to renominate Goode.
Before deciding the matter definitely he
consulted with several Democratic Senators
who assured him that Goode would sec
ond time be rejected, and this decided him
10 allow the matter to drop.
The Morrison Surplus Resolution.
WASHINGTON, July 30th.-Senator Ed
mundS does not see any necessity for rush
ing the business of Congress through with
undue haste He says the Morrison sur
plus resolution involves a question of vast
magnitude, and full and Tree discussion
should be allowed on both sides. Debate
will probably continue until the Senate has
exhausted its oratorical powers. 1t is said
that four Republicans will vote against the
Allison proposition and from ten TO twelve
Democrats will vote for it.
Senator Hearsts influence Fading.
WASHINGTON, July 30;h-An application
was made to Senator Hearst to-day to in
dorse an application for office. This he

gard him as a member of the Senate, and
that, therefore, he has no influence with
the Administration
