The Deficiency appropriation bill
as it passed the House made no pro-
vision for the payment Of judgment
for nearly 81 ,800y 900, rendered by the
Supreme Court OF the United States
in favor Of the Southern Pacific rail
road company. The bill went to the
Senate and clause was inserted
making an appropriation covering the
judgment. The bill then went to
conference Committee and the House
Conferees fought the Senate amend
ment and finally succeeded in defeat
ing it.
The fight over the amendment in
the House was hot one and during
the debate Representative Cultivate,
of Ohio, said:
"Mr. Speaker, when came into the
Forty ninth Congress one of the
questions to which I directed my at
tention was that of securing to the
Government the great Indebtedness

the fact that the law stood in the way

up, which not only involves S1,800,000
but possibly many million dollars, the
only argument that is presented to
us is that it is legal claim. and that
the legal situation is such that we
must pay this amount; that we must
disregard everything else but the
technical legal question.
@Now, Mr.. Speaker, 1 do not hest

House and of the country that GER

country have within the past few
years perpetrated, legally, iniquities

and other scoundrelly abstracting other

of legality that we are to consider.

voted for April 5, there were chosen or al
lowed TO hold over, 10 Republicans and 3s
Democrats. I'm 20 cases there was
failure TO elect. The bye-elections
resulted In choice OF "a Repub-
licans and 81 Democrats and such was the
understood instructions OF the individuals
when the Legislature met in Newport.
The House unseated two Republicans,
William Hoxsey OF Westerly and John
B. Landers OF Jamestown. Mr.. Hoxscy
was the first representative OF the town
I'm 1892 and at the April
election was chosen senator. The
Republican proposition was that he retain
his old place OF representative and allow
the senator to hold over, following estab-
lished precedent. Mr.. Landers claimed
his seat as hold-over, but the Democrats
substituted Samuel Smith on the ground
that he had been fairly counted in despite
the contrary decision of the Su-
premc Court. The Republicans
claimed that this action was revolution
ary, and the Senate refused to go into
grand committee. Gov. Brown prorogued
the General Assembly June z, and the
Senate adjourned till Tuesday, Jan. 30.
The House decided To submit
questions TO the Supreme Court relating
to the disagreement and held sundry rump
sessions till August II. The Supreme
Court sustained the Republican position
and the Democrats adjourned tothe fourth
Tuesday in January. There has
been anlinterval of months since the New
port session, and il the political convic-
tions Of the sitting members have under
gone no change, there is promise OF n
determined struggle for super
macy. The state election in
volying the General Assembly which is
to elect United States senator is close al
hand and the constituencies of the two
parties will be governed in their choice
by the hedevelopments at the present session.
Ii remains 10 be seen whether the Democ-
racy will conduct themselves in a manner
promotive of law and order, or shall per-
sist in course inimical TO good govern
ment and the decree OF the supreme con-
stitutional authority OF the state.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--The debate on
the Internal Revenue bill including the
provision for the income tax, began in
the house today.
Under the call OF committees for reports
after the reading of the journal, Mr.. Me-
Creary, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, reported his resolution, ex-
pressing the sense of the House on the
Hawaiian situation. The minority got
leave to submit their views.
Upon the completion of the call, the
House went into committee of the whole,
for the purpose of further consideration
OF the tariff bill. Mr.. McMillin, chairman
of the subcommittee of the ways and
means on internal revenue wasimmediately
recognized and, according to caucus pro-
gram he offered as an amendment to the
provision imposing tax of Il per Thousand
upon cigarettes, the entire internal rev.
enue bill. When the bill had been read,
Mr.. McMillin was recognized to open the
debate in favor of the amendment.
He claimed that the protective policy OF
the Republican party was responsible for
the present adversely. il was the duty of
present Congress 10 prevent further rob-
berry of the people by reducing the
tariff to revenue basis. Mr.. Nc
Milin then proceeded TO answer the
critics of the income tax and claimed
that this was the only way in which abso-
lutte equality of taxation could be estab-
lished between all the citizens OF the
country.
The opposition to the income tax ap-
peared to collapse today, when the New
York delegation made no further effort to
filibuster.

The Pension Bill Reduced
S15,000,000.
THE OLD SOLDIER HAS TO STAND 1T
First Payments Are Not Being Made
Now Under Commissioner Lochren.
Congressman Morse Wants Deity
Recognized i'm the Constitution.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 29.-The old SOL
diers. are expected To be heard from as a
result Of the agreement OF the House COM
mittee on appropriations TO report
the pension bill at Sl50,0O0,0O0 or
a reduction OF s15,000,000. There was a
sharp difference OF opinion in the commit
tee as to the propriety OF this reduction.
"There is nothing antagonistic to the
old soldier in it," said Mr.. O'Neill, who is
author OF the bill.
"The Republican members concede this
so far as the committee is concerned.
The reduction is due mainly TO the fact
that the high water mark of pension pay
ments has been reached. The tide will
now recede."
Representative Grant, a Republican
member of the pension subcommittee,
says:
.The secret of the reduction is that
the pension Office is doing but little busi-
ness. II has stopped allowing pensions
at the rate Raum allowed them.
This reduction has been so
great that the pension offices will probably
have s25, ,000,0O unexpended balance from
the United States appropriation now
available, and this will be turned back
into the treasury.
The main cause of this great saving at
the pension Office is that first payments
re not being made. Under Raum the
first payments for 1893 were
s3i, 100000 in round numbers, but
Commissioner Locbren testified before us
that the first payment for six months
under him was only about si,760,3l0. The
old soldier had to stand this delay
and stoppage of allowance and first pay
ments."

OUR legation VIOLATED.

Destruction of Certain Papers and
Not Robbery Was the Motive.
Rn The A,sociated Press.

ROME, Jan. 29.-Burglars broke open
the safe of the American Legation last
night and wrecked the room in
which the safe was kept, broke a bust
OF Washington, which stood in a
corner of the room, burned all the papers
they could lay hands on and destroyed
the valuable library of the legation.
There is no trace of the burglars.
The burglars did not touch a rich collec-
tion of unsent medals.
All the rooms OF the legation were
strewn with the debris, broken fur
niture and burned papers, but the
actual damage done amounts TO only
about $500. The destruction OF the archives
however, is complete and irreparable
The theory is that the real object of the
burglars was not ordinary robbery, but
the destruction of certain papers, or the
destruction of certain important docu-
ments.
