Temper OF the House in Favor OF Such
an Appropriation.
Washington, d. c.. Feb. 22-When
the speaker called the house to
order at IL o'clock less than SO members
were present. On motion of Mr.. Bynum
the senate joint resolution was adopted
extending to Mexico the thanks of con-
gress for the high honors paid Isaac p.
Gray. late United States minister.
Mr.. Martin of Indiana, chairman of
the committee on invalid pensions, ask
ed unanimous consent to extend the
evening session tonight for considera-
ton of private pension bills) to 10
O'Clock. Mr.. Jones of Virginia objected
The house then went into committee
OF the whole for consideration of the
general deficiency appropriation bill.
When the paragraphs relating to the
10th census were reached Mr.. Hep
burn wanted to know when the reports
of the last census were to be published.
Five years had elapsed, he said. and yet
but two of the &c volumes had reached
the public.
Mr.. Breckenridge replied all the ma
terial would be in the hands of the
printer by March /, and the volumes
would be published thereafter as rapid
| ly as possible.
Mr.. Livingstone of Georgia moved to
| strike out the appropriation of $4,000
| for United States marshals' fees. 1t
| precipitated some discussion.
Mr.. Boatner criticised the appropria-
| ton on the ground that no specific state
ment of these fees had been furnished.
| Mr.. Cannon of Illinois defended the
! appropriation. A large portion of the
| sum was to pay deputy marshals who
| We're in Chicago on the occasion of the
| A. r. U. troubles The amount of these
| fees could only be estimated, for, he
| said. vouchers were not transmitted to
| the department of justice until they
We're paid
On motion of Mr.. Boatner, provi-
sion was added to the paragraph re-
curing the encouragement to report to
congress a list of persons to whom this
money should be paid. and the amounts
paid each. Gradually the discussion
drifted into the question of the govern
ment taking hand in the suppression
of the strike.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa called atten-
ton to the resolution passed by con-
grecs after the president had sent troops
to Chicago. commencing his action. The
government. said he. must afford pro.
lection to interstate commerce, and il
must enforce the mandates of the
courts. II am glad" said he, ito live in
a country where the executive met his
duty, as Cleveland did. manfully and
courageously. and where congress, with
one voice, Endorsed his action. The
storm has now blown over" he contin-
ued land the men who took their
lives in their hands, who responded to
the call of law and helped to execute 1t
should have their pay. Now, when the
trouble is passed, can we afford to bag
gle and growl about paying them their
| due?'
Mr.. Livingston argued it was not a
question of paying hon est obligations OF
the government, but claimed that much
of this appropriation would go illegally
to the deputy marThals. who We're lille
gally engaged in The protection of pri-
vate property. which should have been
protected at the expense of the city of
Chicago. Mr.. Livingston finally with
drew his motion to strike out the APP
| preparation. The amendment to pay
the widow of Thomas Mccoy of ST
Paul, the late consul-general at Liberia
| $1,000, was agreed to.
| Without completing consideration of
1 the bill. the committee arose. At
| clock the house took a recess until s
o'clock, the night session to be devoted
to the consideration of the private pen
| sion bills.
