WORK OF THE HOUSE,
The Brawley Bill to Be Called Up To-
day-An Omnibus Resolution.

Ane braWley Bill TO be Called Up To-
day-An Omnibus Resolution.
Washington, May 25.-In the House
this morning Mr.. Springer stated that he
had expected to call up to-day the Braw-
ley bill to suspend the operations of the
10 per cent. tax as to the certificates of
clearing houses and other forms of in
debtedness issued in lieu of money last
summer, but in view of the general de-
mand for private bill day, he would not
antaRonize the motion, but would give no.
tice that tomorrow he would call it up
Immediately after the committees had
been called for reports.
One private bill ran the gauntlet and
was laid aside with a favorable recon-
mendation.
Then long discussion on parliament
airy procedure was precipitated by
point of order made by Mr.. Burrows.
THE OMNIBUS RESOLUTION.
What is known as the omnibus resolu-
tion" was read by the clerk. This was a
resolution coming from the commit
tee on war claims punching thirty
seven bills in one resolution, and referring
them to the court of claims for adjudica-
ton MIR. Burrows point was that such
proceeding was unauthorized by the
rules; that each bill must be acted upon
separately; and that the committee had
no power to Initiate such resolution.
The chair overruled the point of order,
citing precedents in support of his posi-
tion
Mr. Burrows read the bills by title,
showing that they aggregated 81 ,04O, 600,
and that they Origiuited in a single local
iJy in South Carolina. The House ought
to make a stand against these claims.
SAVERS AGAINST IT.
Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, thought it most
remarkable that the war claims commit
tee should have selected these thirty
seven claims introduced by one man and
punched them that way. He did not
know a single member Of the court of
claims, but acting upon his own Judg-
ment, formed from twenty years eXpe-
rience in congress-eight of them on the
committee of appropriations-if the court
found in favor of the legality and full
amount of the claims set up by the claim
ants, he would not vote to pay one of the
judgments, because he would have no
confidence in their conclusions.
Mr. Stockdale, dem, Of Mississippi
But if the claims were Just and the 10y
atty of the claimants proved.
Mr. Sayers-Oh, well, now; | will tell
my friend Franklin what think upon the
question of loyalty, In the cotton states
which were in rebellion against the fed
eral government, there were not, on the
average, five men in any community who
were loyal to that government throughout
the war. 1t is thirty years since that war
ended, and evidence Of loyalty is very
easy TO procure
At o'clock, under the rule, the COM
mittee rose without coming to any con
clusion on the pending resolution, and the
House took recess until 3 O'Clock
The evening session of the House lasted
an hour and fifty minutes, but no busi-
ness was transacted.

Drunken Soldiers at st. Thomas, Ont,
Insult the American Consul.
ST. Thomas, Ont, May 25.-The Ameri-
can flag in front Of the United States con-
sul's Office in this city was torn down and
destroyed last night, by some of the
Queens Own" Rifles of Toronto, while
under the influence of liquor. Some of
the members of the regiment who were in
the crowd protested against the
outrage, but were unable to
prevent their excited companions
from carrying out their intentions. Lieut..
Col. Smith, D. g. A, apologized to the
United States consul, George J. Willis,
for the act, but Mr.. Willis would not ac-
cept the apology and notified the heads Of
his department at Washington and Ot-
tawa. The incident is looked upon here
as merely a result of too much whisky,
and while generally regretted by the cit
liens, it is hoped that no serious compli-
cations will result.

Phoenix Park Murders.
London, May 25.-The St James Ca

preaching publication Of a book written
by James lyman, the notorious "No. 80
who was so long sought after in connec-
tion with the Burke and CaveLdish mur-
ders in Phoenix Park, Dublin in 1882.
The book, it is announced, will give the
full story of the murders, and
deal exhaustively with the move
ments of the Irish revolutionary
and parliamentary parties since
1861. The ST. James Gazette, in com
mentiug or the book, says; 1T is not
generally realized in England how tired
the American reyolutionisJs have become
of the constitutional home rule move
ment. These disclosures are a symptom
Of the increased unrest Of the physical
force party, and are not unlikely TO hasten
the breaking up Of the Irish party"
