There are seventeen cases. and 1T IS

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.
Danger of a Division in the House on
Strictly Sectional Lines.


Washington, Jan. 11.-What may resuI6
In a division Of the House on strictly Sec
tional lines viii be an order from the COM
mttee on rules next week fixing the time
for the consideration Of bill to pay
certain southern war claims. A bill provid-
ing for the settlement OF the claims of
citizens In both northern and southern
states was reported some time ago from
the committee on war claims, and is now
on the House calendar. Some OF the mem-
bers OF this committee learned to-day that
another bill, which looks only to the pay
ment OF southern claims and which did
not originate with their committee is one
Of which the committee on rules will take
cognizance. The war claims members are
considerable exercised over the matter,
and an effort viii be made, when the rule
IS reported on Monday or Tuesday of next
week, TO defeat II, their argument being
that the bill reported from their COM
mittee is fairly and impartially drawn and
the only measure that ought to pass the
House.
Some quiet missionary work was done
on the floor OF the House To-day by cer-
tain members OF the war claims commit
tee looking TO the presence in their seats
next week when the order is reported,
Of as many northern men, both repubr-
cans and democrats, as can be counted
upon TO antagonize the action Of the
committee on claims.
