SPOlIATION CLAIMS.
The Elaborate Report Submitted TO
the House Recently.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-ConsiderabI,
Information regarding the French spoIia.
tion claims and those for stores and sun.
plies furnished the Union forces b,
Southern men who were loyal TO tn,
Union during the Civil War Is contained
In an ella borate report recently submitted
to the House by Representative Bum OF
North Carolina from the Committee on
Claims, to whom bill was referred some
time ago, to provide mode for the pay
ment of these claims.
In brief, tho bill provides that the claims
for "Stores and Supplies" and for French
| spoliation shall be annually estimated for
upon lists furnished by the court OF
claims and placed upon the sundry civil
appropriation bills that for the first
year the appropriation shall not
exceed two and one half mill
lion-ie, 100000 on the first named
class and S2,OO00O on the second
class, so as to pay off those
which have accumulated i'm consequences
of no appropriation having been made by
the last Congress, and that thereafter the
appropriation shall not exceed $500 900 To
each. The sums appropriated are pro-
yided to be paid on the claims in the
the court.
"fhe claims for stores and supplies" I"
says the report, ''are those for necessaries
furnished the union forces by Southern
men who were, during the late war, loyal
TO the union, whose claims have been duly
presented to the Southern Claims Com
mission, and, not having been finally acted
upon by Congress, have been referred
TO the Court of Claims under the
Bowman Act,' where they are required
to establish their active loyalty by proper
proof as a jurisdictional fact, and then
establish the use of their property by the
army and its value. The amount of these
claims has been greatly exaggerated, and
on that an argument has been based for
their reputation, regardless OF their
merits"
In this connection a statement from the
court Of claims is presented which shows
that on May /, last, 2039 cases claiming
sl5, ,2S3, ,267 had been tried, and the sum of
=, ,239 ,3l3 found due thereon, and there
remained 7106 more to be tried, claiming
So, ,420,sO5.
Regarding the claimants on account of
stores and supplies, the report says:
"They have been compelled by stringent
laws TO going to great expense in furnish
ing their evidence. They have passed the
ordeal OF investigation by the court never
before imposed upon citizens OF the re-
public, and may have died In poverty.
leaving helpless families.
"As TO the amound involved, letter ia
presented from the Court OF Claims which
shows that claims for 23,992, $50 (Which is
more than half of the highest estimate
placed by any one on the amount claimed)
have been tnaliy disposed of, and awards
made thereon for $685., ,29l, whereof the
sum of q, ,30i, ,O95 has been paid, leaving a
balance of 1901, ,196.

Can They Vote?

That the Australian ballet system
and the accompanying safeguards
thrown by it around the purity of
the ballot box are not always adapted
to the requirements of the situation
has recently been strikingly illus
trated in Kansas. The Legislature
of that state has given the women the
proud privilege Of voting at the mu-
nicipal elections, but unfortunately
a section of the ballot law already in
vogue before and not annulled by the
woman suffrage act, threatens t. re-
duce the new vote to minimum.
The section reads as follows: 1.-THE
lower limbs of the voter shall be Wis
ible as high as the knees from the
outside while the voter is in the
booth preparing a ticket, the lower
part of the booth having to be left
open for that purpose"
