The Least Thing VIII Stir Up a wordy
War These Times.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The demon
STATIONS in the senate chamber last night
left traces on the proceedings to-day. Sen.
ators in groups discussed the dramatic
scenes of the night. Three of the chief
actors in last nights conflct-ChandIer,
Hill and Martin-were early in their
seats. Several of the veteran democratic
leaders-Harris, George and others-con-
ferred together as to what could be done
without jeopardizing the passage of the
appropriation bills. On the surface of
the senate business proceeded with the
usual serenity.
Manderson's resolution was agreed to
for a committee to inquire as to the adj
visibility of joint committee of the two
houses on neurology, to do away with
eulogies on deceased senators and men,
bers, and to provide for memorial volumes
for the dead.
When the item of clerks for senators
and members was reached, Henderson
made something of a stir by offering an
amendment that no wife or child of any
senator or member shall be named as
clerk to a committee or to a senator or
a member.
Gray's motion to table Manderson's
amendment prevailed.
Buffers amendment appropriating
100000 for the French despoilation
claims, and for the claims under the Bow
man act, was agreed to. Buffers amend
ment had been attached to another
amendment appropriating 81 800, 505 in
favor of the Southern Pacific railroad and
this brought on hot debate as to the rail-
road claims.
this railroad claim as it was a question
whether the Union owed the Southern
Pacific or wise versa.
Frye said the Southern Pacific did not
owe the government a dollar.
Pettigrew made a savage onslaught
on the railroad claims. He said the Gen.
trail Pacific and the Southern Pacific we're
one and the same. The officers of the
former had stolen and wrecked the prop
erty and then "these scoundrels" had or
gained the Southern Pacific. The obli-
cations of the Central Pacific to the gov
eminent would become due and then
there would be an opportunity to recover
from these swindlers of the Southern
Pacific.
White urged the postponement of the
appropriation until a general settlement
with the Pacific roads was secured. After
n lengthy debate the Southern Pacific
amendment and the French spoilation
amendments we're both adopted, 80 to "A.
An amendment was adopted appropriate
ing $4,000 for an arbitration commission
with Great Britain TO adjust the claims
growing out of the Bering sea seizures. A
letter from Secretary Gresham urged the
necessity of the appropriation.
Sherman reviewed the circumstances of
tho Bering sea seizures. The Paris court
of arbitration has held the United States
liable but did not fix the amount. The
president has urged settlement at S425.-
600, but congress has been derelict in not
acting.
Sherman offered an amendment appro-
priating Si250O0 to pay tie claims in &C.
cordance with the presidents recommen-
dation.
Morgan vigorously opposed lump sums
in settlement. Morgan said Great Britain
had tried. with the aid of various men,
