TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER.

An Upward Jump of the Thermometer,
but 1t viii Be Colder Tomorrow.
From GO degrees below zero to 16 degrees
above is decided jump. These figures rep
resent the difference in the minimum temper
ature in Washington yesterday and today. 1t
was not necessary, however, to SO to the
weather bureau to learn that the weather today
is decidedly milder than it was yesterday.
The most striking evidence to that effect is
the change in the streets from snow and ice to
slush and water.
The general cheerfuness Of the atmosphere
was dampened solely by the difficulty of walk
ing with comfort in anything save rubber boots.
The accumulation Of melting snow and dirt
made street crossing matter Of discomfort.
AGAIN BE COLDER TOMORROW.
According to the weather man the thaw will
not last very long, there are good 4ndica-
tions that it will again be colder in this vicinity
tomorrow, with high northerly winds shifting
to westerly.
The coolest places in the United States this
morning were La Crosse, Wis, and Dubuque.
Iowa, where the thermometer registered II de-
grees below zero. The highest recorded TEN.
perature was at Jacksonville, Fla, where Ii was

sippi river and the Rocky mountains. The
barometer il also high over the plateau region

THE CHOCTAw CLAIMS.
An Act Approved Today That will Take
S3,OOO,OOO From the Treasury.

An Act Approved Today That Will Take
S3.OOO,OOO From the Treasury.
The President today approved the Joint reso-
luton authorizing the Secretary OF the Treas
ury to cover back into the treasury S4s. 500 of
the appropriation TO the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indians This action involves much more
than appears on the surface.
Il implies the payment out Of the treasury of
a sum amounting to over 81 900. 900 for lands
taken by the United States from the
Choctaw and Cherokee Indians and ap-
piled to reservation uses for other tribes An
appropriation Of this amount was made by the
Fifty-frst Congress. but the approval of the
necessary papers withheld by the Presi-
dent. who sent special message to the
Senate calling attention TO some al
legged defects of title as TO part of the
lands, and TO excessive fees allowed to attor-
neys and claim agents by the Indians. The
Senate. after considering these OBJ
1ections at its last session, passed a
formal resolution declaring that the
appropriation ought not to be longer with
held. The President at this session sent an ad-
ditional message to Congress making the point
that the amount appropriated was s4s 500 in
excess OF the actual amount due. This
last objection has been met by
the passage of the bill today an
proved. and there appear now no further OBJ
stacles TO the payment OF the Choctaw and
Chickasaw claim, though, of course. the deple-
ton of the treasury to the amount OF nearly
$1,000 900 is serious matter under existing
conditions. This consideration. ii is unoffi-
cially intimated, has had considerable weight in
delaying the execution Of the law up TO the
present time.

A FREE CIRCULATING LIBRARY.

The senate Committee Trying to Frame Q
Measure to Overcome Objections.
No meeting Of the Senate committee on H.
brary to whom was referred the bill for the es-
adjustment Of free circulating library in the
new post Office for the use Of citi-
zens of the District has yet been
hYed. It is known, however, that
individually the members Of that committee
are in favor OF the bill and will do what they
can to bring about the passage Of the measure
in one form or another. The advocates
Of the bill were very much surprised
at the opposition that was developed when 10
was recently before the Senate for considera-
ton. Most Of the members OF the Senate are
In favor Of the library. but some are opposed to
its location in the new post Office building,
while others do not concur in the
idea of having IL founded by taking
the books from the libraries Of the various de.
partments. The members Of the library COM
mtttee are now trying to formulate some plan
that win overcome the objections to the bill that

The pension Subcommittee Of the House
committee on appropriations Is looking closely
into the subject Of the administration Of
pension hws,. and the result may be,
either in this or n the next
Congress, proposition for radical
change in the workings OF the system. There
lie a sentiment among members Of the SUBJ
committee that better and fairer adjudication
OF pension claims would be secured il the
system were completely divorced from
politics and administered under the direction
Of some one who would be independent ofnsm-
bers Of Congress and politicians. 1t is believed
also that there are abuses, partly tho result Of
time and partly inherent In tha suAtAAds
drastic msthods. At present the members
Of the committee are looking to supervision Of
the system by the War Department a. likely
to increase the efficiency Of the service aad 70
