II would be carefully considered In con-

accepted, and the discussion went on.
Finally the vote was about to be taken
on the passage OF the bill when Mr.. Har-
ris proposed that the vote should be post
poned until a new print of the bill,
as amended. could be had. That was
agreed TO. and 4 o'clock tomorrow was
fixed as the time 10 take the vote.
The Legislative, Executive and Judi
cial Appropriation bill was presented
and referred to the Committee on APP
propriatons.

on motion Of Mr.. Wise (Va) the Senate
bin was passed authorizing the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company to
renew it's bridge across Big Sandy river.
The House proceeded, in Committee Of
the Whole, Mr. Wilson (W Va) in the
chair. TO the consideration Of the Invalid
Pension Appropriation bill.
General discussion of an annual appro-
priation bill is usually a pro forma pro-
ceeding. II was supposed, however, that
when the Pension bill came up in the
House to-day there would be break in
the dull routine. But there was not. Mr.
Mutchler (Pa), who had charge of the
bill made two hours speech, which,
though bristling with statistics and de-
livered in his natural, courteous man
ner, did not attract close attention. Mr.
Grout (Vt.) also spoke with great earnest
ness against the proposed revision OF
the Pension laws, but he also failed in
securing the attention of the House. Mr.
Tarsney Mo), who Is one of the great
stump orators Of the House, failed TO do
himself Justice. He read his speech. Mr..
Mckinney On. H., who is said to be on
the slate for Commissioner Of Pensions
was also powerless 10 secure a silent
audience. Mr.. O'Nein (Mass) was in no
better situation; in fact, n bill which
carries more than $166 100000 was con-
sidered as though it carried no more than
166 cents.
Without closing the general debate the
committee rose, and the House at D
O'Clock took a recess until o'clock, the
evening session to be for the consideration
of private pension bills.
The evening session Of the House, held
TO consider private pension bills, was
wasted In nlibustering. and at $3.50 a mo-
ton to adjourn prevailed. no business
whatever having been accomplished.
