WILL FIGHT THE BILL.
Mr.. Reed Opposed to Reviving a
Southern CIaims Act.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE session of
the House was brief and uninteresting to-
day. Several bills of minor Importance
were passed during the morning hour and
an agreement was reached by which to-
morrow and Wednesday will be devoted to
consideration of the bill for the admission
of the Territory of Utah. The bill to re-
vive the claims arising out of the captured
and abandoned property act aroused the
partisan opposition of the Republicans, and
notice was served on the Democratic side
by Mr.. Reed that this bill could only be
considered under the stress of a special
order from the committee on rules. The
remainder of the session, after the expira-
ton of the morning hour, devoted to
District of Columbia matters.
Mr.. Boatner secured the passage of a bill
granting authority to the New Orleans &
Fort Natchez railway to construct two
bridges across the Bocuf river in Louisi-
ana.
The morning hour having arrived, Mr..
Kigore was about to call up the bill for
the admission of Utah, when Mr.. Dingley,
on behalf of the Republican side, made
statement declaring that the bill. was of
too much Importance to be considered in the
morning hour but no objection would be
made from his side If ample opportunity
was allowed for debate and amendment.
Thereupon General Wheeler asked unani-
nous consent that tomorrow and Wedres-
day, after the morning hour, be set aside
for its consideration, and, without objec-
tion, an order was made.
A bill fixing the time and places of hold
ing federal courts in Nebraska was passed.
Mr.. Culberson called up a bill to revive
the act for the collection of claims arising
under the captured and abandoned prop
erty act for the purpose, il possible, of ef-
fecting an agreement as to its eonsidera-
tiCn.
Mr.. Reed refused to allow the agreement
to be made. and the bill was withdrawn.
A bill was passed making IL compulsory
for all steam vessels of LOCO tons burden to
carry two licensed engineers. The BILL by

boats which run less than ten hours daily

OUT OF WORK.
Applications for Employment ON the
Increase.

The fad of economy is new innovation
to society," That it is growing popular with
people of money is evinced by the depress-
ing effect among seamstresses and others
who have been accustomed TO earn their
daily bread by serving the prosperous. At
the Commercial Club employment bureau
the calls for assistance from dressmakers
and seamstresses are growing alarmingly
frequent. One of the most pitiful of the
many cases of distress that have charac-
terized the present condition of affairs
came under the notice of the bureau yes
terday. A widow, seventy years old, re-
siding at No. LOG West Sixth street, called
in search of work. For the past ten years
she has supported herself by her needle.
She was sweet-faced old lady, and showed
traces of better days. She said that she was
absolutely unable to find anything to do.
Although tottering on the verge of the
grave she did not ask for charity, but for
some sort of sewing, which she said she
There was an unusual number of applica-
tonS from women yesterday. Girls rang
ing in age from sixteen to twenty years
focked in to register their names, hoping
to secure a position in a. store or shop dur
ing the holidays. In many instances these
young ladies were neatly dressed ana pos
sessed refined manners. One young LADY
of seventeen years told the clerk that she
was a member of family of eleven. For
several months one member of the house
hold earned $3.50 a week, which was the
sole sustenance of the family. The girl has
been attending High School and was in the
last year of her studies. Two weeks ago
the affairs of her home reached a state SO
distressing that she was compelled to leave
school, and is now begging for employment.

lists a number of mechanics who are anx-
