he Discusses the Labor Question and
European Disarmament.
LONDON, April 19.-The London Herald
this morning prints report of an interview
with the pope. In discussing the labor
question his holiness dwelt upon the neces-
sity for improving the moral condition of
both workmen and employers. lie said
that he intended to form committee In
every diocese in the world, whose duty
it would DO to call the toilers together
on every fast day and rest day
and discuss their duties, and teach them,
and inspire them with true morality. Sound
rules of life, said the pope. must be founded
upon religion. The committees which he
proposes to form are 10 consist Of workmen,
or of those sympathizing with woriSmen,
and the bishop is to be at the bead OF each
committee.
Referring to the subject OF European dis
armament, the pope said that military life
surrounds thousands Of young men with
violent and immoral influences, and brushes
and degrades them. Armies drain coun-
tries of their wealth; they withdraw labor
from the soil, overtax the poor, impover-
ished populace; set people against each
otherand intensity national jealousies. They
are anti-christian. The doctrine of arbi-
tration as accepted by America Is the true
principle, but most of the men controlling
Europe do not desire the truth.

LONDON, April 19.--During the debate in
the House of Commons last night on the

conference on bi-metallism, which was
finally rejected by the House, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt announced that Mr.. Glad

Mr.. Balfourssaid that though he adhered
to the principle of bi-metallism, he thought
it would be folly for the government to go
in advance of the advocated commercial
opinion of the country, aud try to force
upon the nation currency in which com
merclal men did not thoroughly believe.
Mr.. Goschen. chancellor of the ex--

cising the Court of Claims.

which were referred to the library COM
mittee, for the purchase of Mathews nor
trait of Abraham Lincoln, and to accent
from the q. A. K. a statue of Gen. Grant
and pedestal, to be placed in statuary hall
in the capitol
In connection with the latter Mr.. Vest
| stated that the committee on public build
ings and grounds had this morning ordered
the reporting of bill for an equestrian
statue OF Gen. Grant in the city of Wash
ington.
SUPREME COURT BUILDING.
The Senate bill was passed authorizing
the purchase Of site for building for the

| United States, On the square directly east
OF The capitol, and corresponding with the
new library site. The cost of the site it is
estimated, will be about 5000, 900.
The calendar was then taken up in regu-
| lar order, and large number of private
| and local measures passed
The Senate bill to pay Mrs Emma s.
Cameron $4,000 for property taken by the
army during the war, at Chattanooga,
| Tenn, was discussed at much length by
Senators Jones Of Arkansas, Cockrell and
Pasco against it, as an exaggerated esti-
| mate OF value, and by Senators Spooper
and Allen in its favor. Mr.. Jones of Ar
kansas moved that the bill be recommitted.
Mr.. Spooner wished to amend it so as TO
direct the war department TO ascertain the
amount fairly due, and Mr.. Harris
wished to amend it so as to re-
fer the matter to the court of claims.
CRITICIsING THE COURT OF CLAIMS.
The latter proposition led to discussion
in regard to the court of claims, Mr.. Har-
ris giving notice that If the DEGREES OF that
court were not provided for las they were
not at the last session., he would bring in a
bill for its abolition, and Mr.. Spooner criti-
cising the influences that prevail in the
! court of claims, and suggesting that cases
there did not receive proper scrutiny and
care. The committee on claims had not, he
said, reported an omnibus bill to pay de-
crees Of the court of claims last year be-
| cause it was entirely satisfied that many OF
the DEGREES had been grossly exaggerated.
The bill went over without action.
The following bills were reported from
| committees and placed on the calendar
Senate bill appropriating 100000 for an
equestrian statue in Washington TO Gen.
Grant; Senate bill sppropriating $4,000 for
