ATHlRTY YEARS WAR.
Court of Claims Possible Campaign
Against Its Docket.

<ASk%AAASc NNON-AN~'
WASHINGTON, January 13.-In the
Senate, today, Mr.. Jones of Nevada,
qualified for his fourth term.
Mr. Hoar offered resolution, which
was agreed to, making the committee on
relations with Canada a standing COM
mittee of the Senate. Changes were
made on committe es as follows: Mr..
Dolph. at his own request, was relieved
from the chairmanship of the committee
of coast defense, remaining a member.
Mr.. Squire succeeds him as chairman.
Mr.. Dolph was, on motion of Mr.. Cul-
lom. made chairman of the committee on
public lands. Mr.. Perkins was appointed
on the committees ON patents, District of
Colubia, and transportation of meat pro-
ducts.
The resolution offered last Monday
by Mr. Mitchell, instructing the Judiciary
committee to inquire and report what
legislation is necessary to relieve the
court of claims in the transaction of its
business was taken up, and Mr.. Mitchell
addressed the Senate, giving facts to
show the necessity of such legislation.
He stated that the present crowded con-
dition of cases in the court of claims was
travesty of justice.
Mr.. Hoar introduced bill, which
would go far, he thought, to relieve the
court of claims. 1t proposes the ap-
pointment of two additional judges and
a division of the court into two parts,
each to have three judges, of whom two
are to be quorum. 1t provides that
seven Judges shall constitute the full
bench, of whom four are to be a quorum.
MI Chandler presented letter to him
self from Chief Justice Richardson of
the court of claims, dated February TO-,
1891, stating, with the concurrence of all
the Judges, that the court was not over
burdened and could dispose satisfactory
Iy of any additional work that might be
imposed upon it.
Mr.. Mitchell said there were pending
on that courts calendar nearly $4,000
cases, and only 653 cases were passed up
on during the year. If not single case
was added to the docket and the court
should proceed at the same pace, il
would take 80 years to clear the calen-
dar.
Mr.. Cockrell said the decision of one
case might dispose of two or three thous-
and.
Mr. Allison moved that the resolution
be referred to the Judiciary committee,
and it was so referred.
On motion of Mr.. Hale, Mr.. Gallinge1
was appointed chairman of the commit
tee on transportation routes to the sea-
board in place of Mr.. Squire, resigned.

WASHINGTON, January 13. = Party
lines were drawn for the first time this
session in the House today. Mr.. Hol
man of Indiana asked unanimous con-
sent for the immediate consideration OF
resolution declaring in the judgment OF
the House that the granting of subsidies
or bounties by Congress in money, public
lands, bonds, by endorsement or by
pledge of the public credit to promote
special private industries or enterprises
independent of the constitutional power
of Congress, was unjust and impolitic
and in manifest conflict with the spirit of
republican industries; and, that further,
in view Of the present condition of the
treasury and because an efficient and
honest government can only be. secured
by frugal expenditures of public money,
while unnecessary and lavish expendl-
lures under any and all conditions lead
inevitably to venal and corrupt methods
in public affairs, no money ought to pc
appropriated by Congress from the pub
lie treasury except such as is manlfestly
necessary y
ments. frugally, efficiently and honestly
administered.
Mr.. Holman demanded the previous
question.
MI Myers of Louisiana moved the ref
erence Of the resolution to the committee
on ways and means.
Mr., Henderson of Iowa, inquired
whether debate would be in order after
the previous question was ordered, and
| the Speaker pro tenn reported that II
would not in his opinion.
| Mr.. Reed of Maine, corrOborated this
opinion and added with sarcasm land
| this House will cease to be deliberatiyt
| BODY" This repetition of the charge
which had so frequently been hurled
against himself, caused the House, Dem
ocrats and Republicans, to break into a
roar Of laughter.
MI. Holman insisted on his demand fol
the previous question, and as the Demo
Gratis rose to support him, they were me
by the cry of ''Put on the gag from the
Republicans. The previous question wa
ordered-yeas, 154; nays; so.
This was the first question coming be
fore the House this session when party
lines were strictly drawn, the Democrats
voting in the affirmative and the Repub
licans in the negative The Alliance
men voted with the Republicans.
Mr.. Holman asked unanimous consen-
that brief time be allowed for debate anC
suggested half an hour on each side.
Mr. Reed thought the time too briel
and asked that two hours be accorded
| each side.
Mr.. Holman assented to this arrange
ment and this time was granted.
r The House then adjourned.

Statement Concerning the Riot at VAL
paraiso-Yankee War Ships Ready.
WASHINGTON, January 13.-There can
be little doubt that developments in the
investigation at San francisco into the
attack upon the Baltimore's crew, the
testimony in the Shields case and the
ugly demonstration at Valparaiso against
the Yorktown's gig crew, have created
very uneasy feeling at the capitol. SEN
ators and representatives who have had
the greatest confidence that Chill would
soon tender an ample apology and make
reparation for the nisdeeds of her sub
iects, now admit privately that the situ-
alton is fullof the gravest difficulties.
No senator or member has yet introduced
resolution calling for the Chilian cor
respondence. The very gravity of the
situation appears to have had repress-
i've effect upon Congress. The situation
in Congress is one of anxious waiting, in
the hope that the President will soon
supply the correspondence. The mem
bers of the committee having the foreign
relations of the government in charge
are unwilling to express themselves upon
the merits of the controversy but, from
their private expressions, it is clear that
no party lines will be drawn and the
President will have the united support
of Congress in the adoption OF any
measures he feels necessary to the pres
ervation of the United States.
Senator Morgan, a leading Democratic
member of the Senate committee on for
eign relations, is particularly indignant
at the revelations in the case of Shields,
the.firemen of the American steamer
Keweenaw, who was cruelty treated in a
Chilian prison. Mr.. Morgan declares
that Shields was undoubtedly entitled to
the protection Of the American govern
ment as he was serving on an American
vessel. The members of the House for
eign affairs committee say it would not
be wise to precipitate discussion of the
| Chflian affair in the House while the cor
respondence is incomplete for fear that
| ill-considered utterances or action might
result in embarrassing the negotiations,
| if they did not prevent an honorable un-
derstanding being reached.

REFuGEEsfoN THE YORKTOWN. a
All Allowed to Leave Chilian Soil With

WASHINGTON, January 13.-Secretary
Tracy today received a cable message
from Commander Evans of the gunboat
Yorktown, at Valparaiso, saying that the
last of the Chilian political refugees who
had been under protection at the differ
ent legations of Santiago, were safely
transferred to the Yorktown yesterday
Five of these refugees were at the United
States legation and two at the Spanish
legation. They were accompanied from
Santiago to the Yorktown by the Ameri-
can, italian and Spanish ministers and
will remain on that vessel until the
10th inst, when they will be transferred
to the Pacific mail steamer scheduled to
sail for Panama on that date, en- route
for Europe. The despatch says nothing
in regard to the condition of affairs in
Chill, and it is, therefore, assumed that
there was nothing to report on that sub
iect. There were IA refugees at the diff
ferent legations when the present admin
istration came into power. All were al
lowed to leave in peace.
