appropriation bills are being considered.
Before the House this morning went into
committee Of the whole on the sundry civil
bill Mr.. Grout drew attention to the
Tact that the District has been
losing great many of the days
and pointed out the number Of important
bills from the District committee awaiting
| action. Mr.. Anderson remarked that from
the character Of the bills reported from the
committee the best thing to do was to shut of
action. Mr.. Hemphill objected to this re-
mark. and said Mr.. Anderson did not know
what he was talking about. All fears for the
personal safety Of either gentlemen were
averted, however, by an amiable hand shake.
Mr.. CIRCUIT WILL KEEP ON TRYING.
Mr.. Grout said to a STAR reporter that it was
his intention 10 make every possible effort to
obtain time for the District either by press
ing unanimous consent for day or night ses-
sion or by getting the committee on rules to
possible would be made, he was somewhat
doubtful of the District obtaining any time of
great extent.

need at the very least another full day in the
House: There are some very important bills on
the calendar, some Of which it is almost abso-
iutely necessary should be passed.
