ORDER OF THE DAY.
The House went into committee
of the whole, Rep. Kalaukoa in the
Chair, for further consideration of
the Appropriation Bill.
The first thing considered was the
item of $l94 for E. G. Fishbourn.
Noble Warehouse moved to have
the report of the Finance Committee
on this item read again. Passed.
The report was then read
Noble Warehouse asked the Mi
nistry if they think this just
claim. This man brought in a re-
port that was adverse to the admin
istration then in power, consequent
ly it has been destroyed. The man
has done the work and should be
paid.
Minister Green said that as far
as he could find out it was just
claim. There is no doubt but that
the work was done, and the claim
should be paid. The report render
ed by Mr.. Fishbourn cannot be
found, but it was made. Mr.. Green
said that he had advised Mr.. Fish
bourn to present his claim in this
way, and then it could be acted
upon.
Rep. G. Brown said he wanted to
impress upon the House the fact
that similar claim from John +.
Bowler for work done under the

and if they allow one, they should
allow another. He therefore moved
that when the Committee risC
they report action on this item
deferred until the report of the Ju

was rejected. He should supper
the motion to defer action on thi
item until the report from this Com
mittee on several claims shall hay
been presented 10 the House.
Noble Dole moved to indeilnitel
postpone action. Lost.

THERE is talk in some quarters OF nom
mating Pension Commissioner Black for
second place ON the Democratic ticket
this wear. Because General Black has
good army record is no reason why he
can secure the votes of old soldiers for
Cleveland, who has lost no opportunity
Of showing his great contempt for the
men who battled for the Union. The
fact is. however, that no soldiers name
occupying the second place upon the
Democratic ticket could neutralize the
effects of Cleyeland's acts revealing his
hatred for Union veterans. 1t could not
be less than hatred that caused Cleveland
to make unfeeling attempts at funny bus
iness in his numerous vetoes of private
pension bills. 1t was not enough for him
to say no when Congress said yes to the
dead soldiers wives and mothers for re-
lief from hunger, but he seemed TO find
pleasure in coloring his veto messages
with iocular brutality His veto of the
dependent pension bin followed in a
more respectful tone, but the fact remains
that he struck blow at hundreds of
thousands Of old soldiers and their aged
and infirm relatives in that veto, that
was as damaging to his prospects of get
ting the old soldier vote, as it was injuri-
Gus to the old soldiers and their aged
fathers and mothers.

tary Leader Mills got into squabble with
his own party to night, which furnished rare
sport for the Republicans for an hour. He
had come TO the conclusion that il was time

the Republicans wanted the adjournment in

Hatch, with a grand wave Of the hand, told
him that the House usually voted with the
man who was right, and that now, having
that fact established, he was willing TO allow
the adjournment by unanimous consent.
The permission was too much for the fiery
Texas blood Of the leader, and with few
naughty remarks, all going to show that he
could run the House without any outside IN

to adjourn until the roll was called.
