MILITIA BILL IN THE HOUSE.

Before the Committee OF the whole.
Pomona Grange Protest.
Special Despatch EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER March 13.-The Committee on
Federal Relations this morning reported
to the House, without recommendation.
the Militia bill. Chairman Higgins said
that it was a food bill and calculated to
keep men in subordination, but that the
appropriation Of $12. 600 was repugnant
to the prevailing public sentiment, and
the committee did not want to take the
responsibility and preferred that the
House act as a committee of the whole.
The idea is that to wipe out encamp-
ments, and appropriate 5000 or $500 for
each company is all that is needed.
