f. known as the "Omuibus resolution was re-
ported by the Olefk This WAS Q resolution
toming from the Committee on Wsr Claims
punching 81 bills in one resolution, referring
them to the Court of Claims for adjudication
Mr. Burrows's point was that such procedure
was unauthorized by the rules; that each bill
must be acted on separately, and that the COM
mittee had no power to initiate such resoiu-
ton.
The chair overruled the point of order.
citing presidents in support of his position.
Mr. Burrows read the bill by title, showing
that they aggregated 81 $4,000 and that they
originated in single locality in South Caro-
lima. The House ought to make stand
against these claims. The claims before Con-
gress and before the Court of Claims If paid,
would bankrupt,the Treasury.
Mr.. Sayers thought it most remarkable that
the War Claims Committee should have select
ed these 81 claims, introduced by one man,
and punched them in this way. He did not
know single member of the Court of Claims,
but. acting upon his own Judgment, formed
from 20 years experience in Congress, eight OF
them on the Committee on Appropriations, If
the Court found in favor Of the loyalty and
full amount of claims set up by the claimants,
he would not vote to pay one of the Judgments,
because he would have no confidence in their
conclusions
MI. StOCkuale, Cl ~ thO
claims were just, and the loyalty of the claim
ants proved?
Mr.. Sayers-Oh, well. now, l will tell my
friend frankly what think upon the question
of loyalty. In the cotton States which were
in rebellion against the Federal Government,
there were notion the average, five men IN
any community who were loyal to that Gov
eminent throughout the war. 1t is 80 years
since that war ended, and evidence of loyalty
is very easy to procure.
Without coming to any conclusion on the
pending resolution, the House took recess
until o'clock.
At the evening session. the first bill taken up
was to increase the pension of Susie Conway,
widow of Lieut.. Conway. from $25 to $50 per
month, and Mr.. Ellis (Ky.) made an earnest
personal appeal for the passage of the bill. MI.
Jones IVA, d. opposed it. and his remarks led
to an exchange of very sharp personalities be-
tween himself and Mr.. Johnson lind. R. Mr..
Loud (R.) took the same position as Mr.. Jones
did in opposition to the bill.
On the motion to lay the bill aside with a
favorable recommendation. the vote was 90 to
IA in favor of the motion, when Mr.. Stallings
made the point of no quorum; and though the
friends and opponents of the bill compromised
on $35 per month pension, Mr.. Stallings insist
ed on this point, and forced the House to
adjourn.

FRIDAY, MAY %.

In the Senate as soon as the tariff bill was
taken up. Senators Hoar and Harris had a tilt.
The trouble grew out of the fact that the
former had called the latter drum-msjor dur

Mr.. Hoar made some remarks on the Ha-
waiian resolution, and was then about to make
a correction of the journal, when Mr.. Harris
rose to insist upon consideration of the bill

Lincoln Post Campfire.

Lincoln Post, of Washington, d. c., held a
Campfire last Thursday. Commander Pipes
presided. Rrecitations and patriotic speeches
were the order Hon. John A. Picker ad-
dressed the audience. He spoke of the over
whelming debt the Nation owed the men who
fought and fell from 1861 to 1865, and vehe-
mently denounced 81 the internal ISLANDERS and
accusations that the pension-roll was roll of
dishonor."
THE time has come" he continued, "when
we should resent this from all quarters. when
every soldier should be pensioned not less
than SIS and every soldiers widow not less than
S12 per month"
Hon. j. c. Burrows eulogized the GAR. He
read an article from the Atlanta Journal,
owned by man named (Hoke) Smith," in
reference to the monument 10 the soldiers and
sailors of the Confeaeracy, who deserved the
gratitude and affection Of their country" and

10 per cent. on clearing house certificates and
other notes issued by private aud State banking
associations between Aug. l, 1893, and Oct. Is.
1S93-the period of financial depressson-had
the right of way.
Mr.. Springer Qll.). Chairman of the Commit.

against total repeal of the State bank tax laws.
while he favored the remission of the tax on

In the House. after all the buster and ex-
element of the past week over the adjustment
OF the Civil Service Commission by withdraw
ing from it the wherewithal for its support, the
House voted down the amendment so provid-
ing by majority of 78 or 80 yeas to 158 nays.
All the excitement occurred when the House
was in Committee of the Whole. AS soon as the
matter came before the House the yea and nay
test was applied. Not only was the attempt to
abolish the Civil Service frustrated, but every
amendment adopted in Committee of the Whole
on which separate vote was asked was dis
agreed to, and the bill was passed with very few
changes from its original form. When reported
to the House by the Committee of the Whole
the changes made had increased the total APP
preparations carried by the sum of 1873
This was exclusive of the appropriation for
payment Of the salaries of mem bers and clerks
of the Civil Service Commission. amounting to
$39, $40, which the committee ordered to be
stricken out. That made the amount carried
by the bill 81, l05,247.

Senator from New Jersey. Mr.. Smith, who had
declared that the bill could not pass with an
income tax in it; to the Senators from the two
Dakotas, Messrs. Roach and Kyle, whose State
industries were to be sacrificed to the free
trade Senators from Texas and Missouri; to the
Senator from Wisconsin. Mr.. Villas, an outright,
fully-believing free trader and to the Senator
from Delaware, Mr.. Gray, who par excellence
represented the free trade honest sentiment of
his party. The Senator from Maryland, in all
his adjurations to party fealty, in all his mag
innings of solid phalanx, in all the pleas made,
had his mind fixed upon this group of free trade
Senators, because he knew that if even frac-
ton Of them should break from him, his
newly assumed leadership and his bill were
gone.
There was another group of Senators to
whom no appeal was needed-the two Senators
from West Virginia, the two Senators from
Alabama, the two Senators from Louisiana, the
Senator from Maryland, Mr.. Gibson. and the
Senator from Ohio, Mr.. Brice. The Senator
from Maryland had given himself no anxiety
about that group Because those Senators had
got all they wanted.
The measure, Mr.. Hale said, had been dis
membered, torn asunder, defaced, disfgnred,
not even as compromise of principles but by
trade, by manipulation, and by bargain and
sale in order to get votes TO pass it. Its pro-
visions, said he, have no known paternity.
in them. They are born of the traffic between
half-dozen malcontent Senators on that side,
the easy virtue of few seduced industries,
aud the habitual prostitution of the great
trusts of the country.
Several amendments were adopted, among
them the Jones substitute for paragraph 124,

as to make barbed wire free; the Jones amend

pFistion bill.
Mr.. Enloe (Tenn., D. moved to strike ont the
paragraph carrying appropriation for salaries
of the Civil Service Commissioners and clerks,
amounting to $33940.
Mr.. Dingley (Me., r. argued that the oppo-
nents of the Civil Service law could hardly
support Mr.. Enloe's motion. Striking out this
paragraph would not destroy the law.
Mr. Pendleton wv. Va, d. said he was in
hearty sympathy with the amendment. The
Law had operated to keep Republicans IN Office
and keep out Democrats.

sion," be said, draw its fangs, and we shall

Mr. Everett Mass, d. said the animadver-
sions upon the Civil Service Commissioners had
their foundation, largely, in personal disap-
pointments by members with respect Of persons
in whom they were interested.

appropriation for the Commissioners and en-
pioyes was agreed TO. on division, SO to 81.
Mr. Coombs IN. Y, D. made point of no quo

resulted ayes 100, noes II.

hands aud a few shouts on the Democratic
side aud derisive laughter from Republicans

Abstract Of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
Tuesday. MAY %.

In the Senate, while some progress was MADE
with the tariff bill, two pages being disposed
of the greater part of the day was gwen up 10
pickering and controversy, which had nelther
temporary interest or permanent value When
the Senate convened, the pending question was
an amendment by Mr. Plat Conn., increasing
to 60 cents the duty on iron ore, and Mr. flatt
advocated its adoption.
A controversy sprang up between Senators
Berry ARK and Hoar (Mass.). The latter
called up the declaration in the Chicago plat
form that protection was robbery ana plunoer'
and asked Mr. Berry how he could reconcile
the pending bill with that declaration. MI.
Hoar said that Democratic Senators confessed
that they had surrendered their own Judgment
TO two or three men. and he exclaimed passion
ately: "Stand up, Democratic Senators, II you
will and say that you are in iavor personally,
of this bill! The whole of you! A majority
of you! One-tenth part of you! You VIII not
do it. You say, and the people say that II IS
wicked through and through. But because two
orthree gentlemen have got together in COM
mittee room. or in a corner somewhere, Ike
the witches in Macbeth and concocted this
hell-broth, we have promised them to swallow
it."
Mr.. Platt's amendment was then laid on the
table BY vote of 80 yeas to q nays, all the
negative votes being Republican, and Senators
Allen. PETER and Hill voting in the affirmative
Shortly afterward the committees amendment
proposing duty of 40 cents ton was adopted
without division. Pig iron was made duti-
able at 81 ton.
The item relating to cotton-ties caused con-
siderable discussion, Mr.. Aldrich offering an
amendment which, he said, would allow the
farmers in the West to secure ties for bailing
hay on an equality with the on-panter in
the South. Senator Gordon and other Southern
Senators expressed q willingness to vote TO
Mace all manner of ties on the free list.
Mr. Aldrich's amendment was laid on the
table-yeas SO, nays %. The three PopuIists
Allen. KYLE and PETER, voted with the majority
and Mr.. Teller with the minority.
