The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-02-05

his opposition to the bill. He agreed with
Reed that the French spoilation claims
were more meritorious than these because
they had the actual judgment of a court.
Sayres. chairman of the appropriation
committee, also took a decided stand
against the adoptionIof the order, and the
passage of the bill.
Hermann of Oregon advocated the
adoption of the order. After some fur
ther debate Reed closed for the opposi-
tion, contending that all classes of claims
that are paid from the court of claims
should be treated alike, aud an appropri-
alton should be made If the condition of
the treasury warranted it. TO be applied
on all. Instead this bill proposed after
the debate of an hour to pay the claims of
n certain class for a certain section only.
He submitted that this was unjust.
CatchinGs. in reply, deprecated the cry
of sectionalism. These claims for stores
taken from the loyal citizens during the
war came naturally from the South be-
cause the South was the starter OF the
war. They might as we'll have been raised
against the payment of the Indian depre-
dation claims. The claims had all been
found to be just and due by the court of
claims. The vote on the adoption of the
order was then taken. The result of tho
roll call was 95 to 1iS, which defeated the
adoption of the rulo by n large majority
and showed n pronounced reversal of sem
timent since the vote on the previous
question.
Outhwaite presented the special order
from the committee on rules for tho con-
sideration of the new currency bill. The
rule gave tomorrow and Wednesday until
4 o'clock for general debate and there
after until 3 o'clock Thursday when a
vote should be taken for tho considera-
tion of the bill under the five minute rule.
Outhwaite's assertion that the rule was
satisfactory to all factions in tho house
aroused the ire of Hatch. who Indignantly
declared il represented only the banking
and currency committee and that COM
mittee represented only the banks.
Hall resented this statement, denounc-
ing it as absolutely false. 'If the gentle
man does not know that" he shouted,
''he knows nothing about the commit
tee."
Hatch grew excitedly wrathy at Halls
remarks. He agreed to withdraw what
he had said if the gentleman could cite to
him a single bill reported by the commit
tee on banking and currency in tho inter-
ests of the people.
II will say" he added dcflautly, turning
to Hall, "the gentlemhn's language is not
such as he would dare To use to me off the
floor of the house"
Instantly the house was in great confu-
sion and the members crowded about, ex-
pecting n possible repetition of the row
of Friday last, but the speaker ordered
the sergeant-lt-arms to sec the gentlemen
were seated. Outhwaite demanded the
| previous question. which was ordered.
| The rule was adopted, 135 to 2s, after
which the house went into committee OF
the whole and took up the agricultural ap
| preparation bill.
| Hainer offered an amendment to assess
the cost of inspecting meat for export on
the owners of the meat inspected. Hatch
made n point of order against it, and the
amendment was passed over.
Hainer declared no better friend of the
real, genuine agriculturist existed than
Secretary Morton.
II say that" he said, "even if he is a
| democrat"
The bill was then passed, and the Ha-
waiiau correspondence was laid before
the house. Tuesday. Feb. &c, was set
aside for eulogies on the life OF tho late
Representative Post of Illinois, and AT
80 the house adjourned until IL o'clock
| tomorrow.
