Special Correspondence to the GLOBE RE-
PUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON. d. c., January %.
Routine business was transacted in
congress yesterday without any object
ion. Senator Hale hopes to be able to
get vote on the apportionment bill ear
ly tomorrow, after which the eight-hour
law claims bill will be taken up. 1t is
not considered that this measure will oc-
cupy any length of time, and Senator
Platt is confident that the copyright bill
will soon be disposed Of.
There are some Republican senators
who are in favor of making another at
tempt to get up the election bill after the
apportionment bill is disposed of. but it
is not their opinion that it will meet with
success but it would again ''put senators
on record" on the direct question of TAX
ing up the bill. But the general opinion
is that the suggestion of the senators will
be followed by the party managers. The
senators who voted to take up the appor-
tionment bill are not expected to change
their opinions, and the disposition is to
cease wasting time and proceed with the
calendar business. 1t is positively asser-
ted that Mr.. Stanford cannot be induced
to change his position and that he will
oppose any attempt in behalf Of the bill.
A number of other senators who have
been supporters of Mr.. HOar in his fight,
are now in favor of an understanding
by which other business can be proceed
ed with.
The Pennsylvania representatives do
not attempt to disguise their hostility to
Senator Cameron for his vote in favor of
laying the cloture rule aside. In conver-
sation with Representative Darlington
yesterday. he stated that the feeling in
the state was so intense that he believed
Senator Cameron would meet with per-
soual violence if he attempted to visit
certain portions of the state. You can
not picture too strongly the indignation
that exists in Pennsylvania and among
Pennsylvanians here. In Chester county.
at meeting of the county committee a
vote was taken and was 80 to 6 against
Cameron. That is fair Indication of re-
publican opinion. Representative Dali
zell of Pittsburg. was asked if Cameron
would resign, and replied that not even
the demand of the Legislature could make
him resign.
Agood deal of gossip may already be
heard in hotel lobbies as to the Organi-
zation of the next house, regarding all
offices beneath Speakership. Combina-
tions and deals are. even at this stage,
sought to be formed, and the aspiring

The other was more elaborate and chasts in
design and execution. 1t bore the following
inscription:

Below this were the letters w. A. r. in fancy,
quaint capitals surrounded by geometric decor
ations, under which was the owners name
Capt. Israel Putnam.
Among other drawings of horns Of less i'm
pOTtance than these, but all possessing the
deepest interest, was one made by soldier at
Oswego. commemOrating the war of 1872 and
the discharge OF the garrison in lSl6. The
latter event was represented by two soldiers,
and between them the date 1876. The former
was represented by fight between what was
evidently intended by the artist to represent
an eagle aud q lion, in which the bird has
come of best. IL is described by the legend en-
grayed under it, which says "The great
American Eagle gets away with the little Brit
ish Lion. 1914"
The style of this inscription Is decidedly
slangy.
Another horn was Of particular interest, as
it related to the battle of TicOnderoga. 1t is
engraved as follows:

This horn was probably broken accidentally
and thrown away as useless, for IL was found
under ground. alter it had lain many years.

peared. but the engraving was uninjured. IL
! IL OF much interest. as it gives tho record Of

one of his soldiers. Ii places the number Of
killed and wounded at 2Si4. Losing and Ban
croft quote il at 1867, aud later Parkman and
the Critical History of America say 2.400.
Another was made expressly TO aid in driving
the British from Boston for Lieut.. Beaman by
Micha BriaTd, a Sergeant in tho same company.
IL was carried by him in the battle of Bunker
Hill. Upon this horn was engraved:
