Friday, March II.

WASHINGTON, March ia notable feat
ure of the house was the first speech Of Gen.
Banks in this congress. One can hardly
speak OF the maiden speech Of a man who
was speaker of the house Of repr personalities
thirty years ago, and who, with few excep-
tions. is the only survivor of the earliest
speakers. The subject was the bill to place
Gen. John G. Fremont on the retired list Of
the United States army. The bill proposed
to retire him as major general. There we're
great many members Of the house who
never had heard the orator Of the old days.
The house gathered about Gen. Banks as
they have not around any speaker at any
time in this congress. The members from
the Democratic side came over to the Re
publican side and arranged themselves in a
mass in the area in front Of the speakers
desk, while every seat on the Republican
side was occupied. 1t was great tribute to
the old leader of the Republican party. Gen.
Banks appreciated this tribute, and deliv-
cred speech worthy of his former efforts
He sketched the history of the pathfinder
the government was to retire him at all
they should retire him in a position COM
mensurate with his great services
Gen. Banks maintained that but for the
almost reckless daring of Fremont, the
Pathfinder" in the days before the war,
the Pacific railroad might never have been
built and the Pacific coast might not have
been saved to the Union. The amendment.
which was to retire him as brigadier
general instead of major general,
was undoubtedly defeated by the efforts
of Gen. Banks. Many of the friends Of the
bill think that the concluding speech of Gen.
Banks did much to carry the measure. At
che conclusion Gen. Banks was heartily
congratulated by members of both sides of
the house, and upon retiring to the corridor
he was firmly thanked by some of the
relatives Of Gen, Fremont

In the HOuse.


On motion Of Mr.. Morrill, Of Kansas a res
olution was adopted calling upon the secre.
tary OF the interior for data relative to the
payment OF pensions and for an estimate al
to the amount OF money which will he re-
quired for the payment Of arrearages In
case the Limitation of the arrears act is re-
pealed.
The house then went INTO committee Of the
whole tMr. Burrows Of Michigan In the
chair on the pension appropriation bill. Mr..
Morrow OF California, In charge Of the bill
(which appropriates s9s, 4s7, 46D, explained
its provisions In detail, and in reference to
the general subject Of pensions said that 1t
might safely be assumed that the number Of
pensioners would reach its maximum about
July /, 1894, when the expenditure would be
S1l2 900. On that date, under existing
law, the number Of pensioners on the rolls
would be 10000.
Mr. Sayers Of Texas discussed the pension
system as effected by both acts Of congress
and the administration of the service. He
severely criticised the administration OF the
pension Office and cited many instanc ca
where he claimed that the decisions of the
bureau were incorrect and improper. He
thought that there should be thorough in
vestigation Of the system In order that COM
plete justice should be done to the men who
fought for their country, and that the bounty

might he stricken from the roll, so that a
place ON the roll might be evidence Of
loyalty, Of bravery and Of service to the
country.
Mr.. Peters Of Kansas defended the admin
Of the bureau, asserting that there
there was nothing unreasonable in the in
crease Of pens ons which had been made. So
far as the aggregate Of increase was con-
cerned, it reflected credit and not discredit
upon the bureau; while it did not defend all
the acts Of the Commissioner Tanner, he
could only say that that officer had fallen in
the wake of his predecessor, Gen. Black. II
any odium attached to Commissioner Tanner
for re-rating the employees in his Office, it
must attach in greater degree to his prede-
cessor, for he had inaugurated the practice.
And it should also be said, that when the at
tention of the present chief executive was
,alled to the practice he had promptly
stopped it,
Mr.. Spinola of New York, asked unanimous

CEST.ALIAs July PA petition is being
circulated asking the city council to order
an election to take the sense of the people
in regard TO bonding the city to the amount
of $50, 900 for the purpose of erecting a city
hall, commencing a system of sewerage
and constructing other needed improve
ments.
The engineers who are seeking possible
route for bringing water for the city from
the Newaukam river are meeting with
some difficulties not contemplated. but
they feel assured that they will yet be able
to overcome them, and that we shall have
the works in full operation before winter
sets in.
Evangelist Medsker is holding temper
ance open-air meetings in the city, and is
attracting large crowds. The vocal music
bv a number of young ladies is very fine,
and is perhaps the chief source OF attrac-
tisn.
Mr.. Leech. Of Muskegon, Wis, is in the
city. He is an old iumberman. and has
made proposition 10 the citizens that if
they will give him three acres of land near
the junction of the Chehalis and Skoosum-
chuck rivers that he will erect a saw mill
with capacity of $4,000 feet per day. and
will in addition guarantee to bring twenty
families to the city. The proposition is un-
der consideration.

ST Louis. July 27.-Governor Ross. of
Texas. in an interview yesterday, in reply
to an inquiry as to his opinion OF the pro-
posed boycott of the North by the South.
said: Il deem the proposed boycott utterly
impracticable. and if practicable it would
be unwise. because it would array the
North and South against each other in
permanent political. social and commercial
hostility. 1t would withdraw millions of
Eastern capital from the South and destroy
the credit of thousands of Southern mer-
chants. 1t would in every South
ern community create enmity be-
tween those who would and those
who refused to join the boycott. A citi-
zen's loyalty to his state and country
would be tested by false standard, while
in the North every interest would be ar
rayed solidly against the South. If prac-
. ticable it would be indefensibIe, because it
would involve the injury OF friends and
foes alike. 1t would be predicated upon
the assumption that the force bill once
enacted into law would be unrepealabie;
TINT the jdpt sentiment of all sections could
not be relied upon to relieve the oppressed
section from . measure found to be tyran-
nical and dangerous to the peace"

that an appeal has just been taken to the

text OF which is given in Copp's Land

more than ordinary importance. involving
as il does, the states title to some OF the
most valuable of what is known as the in
demnity school lands.
Some months ago man named Shipley

to file upon some land in Whatcom county
which constitutes part of the land se-
lected from the public domain by the
county commissioners of that county as

not entitled TO indemnity for sHch cause.
