PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
WAsHINGToN. d. c.. Feb. IS.

House bill extending for one year the
time for filing petitions in the court OF
private land claims was reported and
passed; also Senate joint resolution
authorizing the loan of the portraits of
the Chief Justices of the United States
for exhibition at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition.
The naval appropriation bill was
taken up-the amendments reported
from the committee on appropriations
being first acted upon.
The first amendment that elected dis
cussion was the one, near the end of
the bill, appropriating 100000 for the
international naval rendezvous and re-
view. Information as to the necessity
of appropriating so large sum was
asked by Mr.. Vest. He was told by Mr..
Hale, in charge of the bill, that invita-
tons had been extended to foreign ma
tons to send ships of war to participate
in the review. 1t would be an impos-
ing and stately spectacle. a large
item of expense would be the employ
ment of temporary seamen. (The navy
being now "hard up" for men) An
other considerable item would be the
matter of salutes. He could not give
in detail the purposes for which the
money would be used.
Mr.. Cocllrell read and commented
upon communication from the New
York Chamber OF Commerce, asking
the aid of Congress in the entertain
ment in New York of foreign visitors
to the Worlds Fair, and he asked Mr..
Hale whether the 100000 proposed to
be appropriated included anything for
that Industrious and magnificent pro-
position"
After long discussion the appropria
ton of $1,000 was agreed to with the
words ''or so much thereof as may be
necessary" added to it.
The bill was then passed, and the
Senate refused to go into executive ses-
sion US proposed by Mr.. Sherman.
The vote on the executive session was
strict party one, but several republic
can Senators who were not paired did
not vote, much to the dissatisfaction
and annoyance of those who supported
the motion.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Blount presented the conference
report on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill and it was agreed to.
Almost an hour was consumed in
considering resolution paying to the
widow of a deceased House employee
six months salary. 1t was finally
agreed to:
Mr., OFerrall called up the contested
election case OF McDulile against Tur-
pin, from the Fourth Alabama district.
The majority of the committee Oh cleo
tons finds in favor of the sitting dem
ocrat member, Turpin.
Mr.. Cultivate raised a question of
consideration. In the present condi-
ton of business it might he as well to
allow the report or the committee to
remain on the Speakers table.
The House decided to consider the
election case debate, thereon being linn
tied to three hours.
The discussion Of the contested cleo
ton case is entirely devoid of interest
and little attention is being paid to it.

be lost they should be stripped oft.
But I beliese the old spirit and love of
liberty is still supreme forcs 10 our
civilization, and that ths people are no
yet disposed to surrender their State
govern nents.
The cou,t ts should be respected and
their mandates 81 upported aud upheld as
long as the courts themselves abide BY
the long established interpretations of
our Constitution and dO not seek for the
exercise of arbitrary power, to revolu.
tionize our form Of government, and to
destroy the authority of the people
themselves in the conduct of domestic
affairs.
1t is a source of the highest grati6ca.
ton to me to observe that 80 many of
the Governors are taking cognizance Of
these usurpatlons and a.e expressing a
determined purpose to resist hem.
The issue should be sharply made and
there should be no retreat from it until
the Federal Courts are made to under.
stand that they are the mere cieations
Of public authority and are maintained
for public purposes, that the Judges of
these courts are the servants aud not
the masters of the people, that they are
not above the States OF this Union but

spect and support the authorities of the

More Pension Frauds

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-lt seems TO
be fact that there Is either an epide-
mic or crimes against the pension laws
or the special agents Of the Pension
Bureau are more vigilant than for
merly. This statement made by an Of
fetal to-day, who in explanation Of 1t
said during the last six month there had
been several times as much rascalitY
as during any other half-year in the
history of the Office. Tennessee and
Alabama are just now receiving the
attention of the officials and 1t Is said
that in the former State and condition
of affairs has been discovered that pro-
mises to develope into something ap-
preaching the magnitude of the Buff
falo frauds. Neither the name Of the
attorney attorneys, not even that OF
the city would be given for publication
for year injuring the governments
case, but when the game Is bagged all
of the facts will be given out.
Several examiners for other fields
will at once be sent to Tennessee to
work up the cases. In Louisiana there
is also an investigation in progress
that promises big results. In all of
these cases, as we'll as those discovered
at Buffalo, Norfolk, and the West, the
favorite method of defrauding the gov
ernment is for the attorney to get the
statement of the applicant Of a pension
and then secure signatures of witnesses
in blank. The attorney then at his
leisure fills in the evidence, taking
care to make 1t corroborate the state
ment of the applicant in every particu-
~ n In
who Is an accomplice, Is called In and
then jurats are filled out and the seal
attached as through done in the pre-
sence of the witnesses themselves as
the law requires.
A number of the Democratic men,
bers of the House was this afternoon
urging Representative Holman, chair
man of the caucus, to call meeing of
the caucus. They want to have the
Democrats meet before the tariff bill is
presented to the House to decide on the
line of policy the party will pursue.
The leaders also wish their colleagues
to express the views as to the advlSa-
biliJy of reporting the internal revenue
sections of the tariff bill as separate
measure. These and other questions
regarding proposed legislation they
wish to discuss. Holman will probably
decide tomorrow when the caucus
shall be held.

, The Phosphate B,ll.

|, COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 14.-Most OF
the time OF the Senate yesterday was
taken up yesterday in the consideration
of local and animportant bills, all of
which passed without objection and with
few amendments. After the passage of
about seventy-6ge OF these measures
Senator Moore called up the phosphate
DILL, reported by the committe on Mines
and Mining.
Mr.. John Gary Evans was evidently
not pleased with It's provisions, and
made motion to strike out the enact.
ing words which motion he subsequent
ly withdrew. He wanted, he said, 20
know how the State was to ascertain the
price which miners were receiving for
their rock In order that the State could
base its royalty on il?
Mr.. W. D. Evans. ia behalf OF the
committee, gave the 1sasons which &C.
tuated them in making the report, rs he
believed 1t was the best that could bs
done tor the State and was accepted by
the miners. -
Mr.. Zimmerman expressed himself
as perfectly satisfied with the bill. he
knew that but; q small profit was made
by the minners, and under present cir.
cumstauces favored making concessions
to them. In Florida the royalty was
only fifty cents per ton.
Mr.. John Gray Evans sald that no
one was more anxious than himself to
show charity to these corporations bad
lost their property, but only made oJec.
ton that the States interest might be
protected.
On motion of Mr.. Moore, the Board
of Phosphate Commissioners we're EN-.
powered to make necessary rules to fix
the price of the rock, which remedled
the defect, il
Mr.. Evans then objected to lowering
the ROYALTY on rock already mined from
81 to SO cents per ton. The State only
proposed to exempt private individuals
from t,xes,:: and there.was no reason
why these companies should be given
$1,000 outright.
MIR. Smythe said he did not expect to
speak on account of bis well known
connection with these corporations but
denied that the companies were asking
charity. The provision was only one
condition upon which they proposed TO
90 to. work. He explained their situa.
ton, and said that ii work was resumed
s35O,0OO additional capital must be In,
vested, which would not be done unless
they were offered inducements to do 80.
Mr.. Wilson believed that new compa.
nies were barred from co npetition by
the bill, and accordingly had passed an
amendment authorizing the Phosphate
Commission to allow them to 60 to
work on similar terms. ~.
The bill then passed its seoond read
ing, with notice of amendments and
the statement BY Mr.. Wilson that he
may move to strike out The enacting
words when it comes up for final pass.
