Mr.. PETER Kan, P.) spoke upon his bill to
regulate Congressional funerals. He said his
! attention had first been called to this question
by charges made in the newspapers and, after
investigating the matter, be had concluded
that the system now pursued had come to be
seriously abused. He instanced the obseques
of the late Senator Plumb, in which he had
participated, and said that while the cost of
that funeral had amounted to over S3000-the
learned that the amount fell below the aver
age.
In the House. bill was introduced by Mr.
Mccall (Tenn.) to amend the pension law so
to remove the disabilities of persons con-
scripted into the Confederate service and who
enlisted therein to escape military prisons.

Mr.. Grow took the floor He sent to the
Clerks desk and had read that portion of the
message relating TO the results OF the new tariff
law now on the statute books. Mr.. Grow
CailSu allenUlOn 10 the laCt tnat Mr.. Cleveland
said nothing about the efficiency of the new
customs law to produce the revenue necessary
TO carry on the Government. The President
Mr.. Grow pointed out, did not give the recepts
or the expenditures for last year. Yet it was
fact, Mr. Grow said, that the deficiency for 1894
was 500 100000, and for the first five months of
the present fiscal year il was S1S000,000. The
total deficiency since June 80 1894, was $l3l,-
100000. The bonded debt nnder the present
Administration had increased S162 600, 900.
That had been the result of new customs sys-
TEN which the President extolled. What of
the customs law which preceded it, and
which Mr.. Cleveland said in his mes
sage was insufficient for the purposes of
revenue" aud which he said impeded our
entrance into the markets of the world? As
to the charge that the Mckinley law had not
produced sufficient revenue, Mr.. Grow said
that it, as well every protection measure
passed since 1860 had produced more than
enough revenue to meet the normal expenses
OF the Government.
From 1863, when the Morrill, bill was passed.
TO 1880 the protection customs system had pro-
duced sufficient revenue to meet the regular
expense of the Government, save during the |
war. From 1880 to 1893 the revenues exceed |
ed expenditures by S1.310 000,00O The last /
Democratic administration before the war bor- |
rowed money to pay current expenses. Ex- |
cept during the period of the war, no bonds |
had been sold for that purpose until the pres |
ent Administration assumed the reins OF power. |

" seems to have begun where Buchanan's Ad-
left off,"

Order: Ii gives me great pleasure TO announce
that Camp of Sons of Veterans will shortly be
organized in Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, the
first of it's kind outside the limits of the United
States and will be attached to the California

are great many eligible young men in every
locality who properly belong with US, and who
are doubtless only waiting for an invitation to
