IN THE HOUSE.
| WASHINGTON, April 17.-This was
an ld-fashioned field day in the House
with radical variations. 1t was pri-
vate bill day under the rules, when bills
| to pay claims arising out of the war,
which in the past afforded opportunity
and excuse for fighting the battles of
| the rebellion over again, were under
consideration. To-day, however, the
contest was waged largely by Repub-
| lican members, who advocated the pay
ment of the bills reported by the Com
mittee on War Claims, and those who
favored postponing action, and some of
| the statements were startling in their
| bitterness.
| Mahon of Pennsylvania, Chairman of
| the committee, was asked by Dingley
of Maine if the committee was satisfied
with the justice and correctness of a
claim for the payment of which bill
had been reported.
Replying, Mahon reviewed the action
of Congress on these claims, their ref
erence to the Court of Claims for exam
ination and finding Of facts and pas
sionately declared that Congress either
ought to pay the claims recommended
by the court or abolish the court, so
that the people might know what to
expect. He declared that the Govern
ment was a great robber of it's private
citizens, and he asserted that he would
rather have a pauper owe him thou
sand dollars than to be creditor of the
United States for that amount.
The record-union., 1896-04-18

Walker (Rep) of Massachusetts was
almost as violent in his denunciation of
the policy which prescribed the pay
ment of these claims. Dramatically, he
declared that no robber baron has
ever equaled the Government of the
United States in it's robbery of honest
creditors. He attacked the leaders of
the House. charging them with pur-
posely preventing the consideration of
bills for the payment of just claims, and
asserting that extraordinary rulings of
the Chair Gn Committee of the Whole)
were resorted to to aid in carrying out
that policy.
Mccall Rep) of Tennessee and Evans
Rep) of Kentucky appealed to the
House to pay the claims of loyal men
from the South. and Ray (Rep) of New
York charged that to enter upon the
payment of them would compel the next
Administration to issue bonds from be-
ginning to close.
DOckery Oem) of Missouri and
Grosvenor Rep) of Ohio made political
speeches in connection with their COM
mon opposition to the payment OF the
claims, the former asserting that Re
publican legislation in the past, and the
latter that the present Administration
was responsible for the present con-
dition of the treasury. The net result
of the days discussion was the reieC-
ton of one bill and the passage of an
other.
The bill passed granted a pension of
$50 a month to Josephine Foote Fair
fax, widow of Admiral Fairfax, and on
this measure Loud (Rep) OF California,
who is opposed to granting large pen
sions to the widows of officers. de-
manded the yeas and nays. On vote
by tellers the yeas and nays were re-
fused, and the bill passed
At 4 80 o'clock the House took a re-
cess until 5 p. m, the evening session to
be for the consideration of private pen
sion bills.

MURDER BOOKED AGAINST HIM.
Mystery Surrounding an Abandoned
Babe Solved.

Babe Solved.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE
mystery surrounding the dead and
abandoned babe of one hours age
found in a satchel in a vacant lot on
Twelfth street, has been solved. The
mother of the dead babe, Mrs Brown
ing, is under physicians care at her
home, and the reputed father, J. T.
Flynn, is in the city prison charged
with the murder of the infant.
Mrs. Browning has made a statement
to the effect that Flynn is the father of
the child, and that he had taken it
away an hour after its birth, osten-
sibly to place it in an asylum.
The story of the doctor who attended
the unfortunate woman, corroborates
her statement in detail. Flynn gave
his card to the physician who attended
the mother, requesting him to present
it to Commissioner Fitzgerald of the
State Labor Bureau for payment of
his obstetric fee. Knowing Flynn to
be q single man, FitZgerald's suspi-
cions were aroused, and he notified the
police, who unearthed the whole story
without difficulty
Flynn has been in the employ of the
State Labor Bureau for upwards of
paper reporter in Portland, Or, and
has done some reportorial work for the
Examiner" in this city.
The record-union., 1896-04-18

San Diego Union: Republicans will
do well to remember that while the sue
cess of the party was never more as
sLred, there has never been a time when
the demands of good citizenship were
more urgent than at present And
chief of those demands is attention to
the primaries. This nation is about
to pass into Republican hands Under
protection it has every hope of regain
ing the prosperity of which Democratic
mismanagement has robbed it. There
is no question as to the outcome. But
the general results will be in every way
more satisfactory if each Republican
takes q hand in the primaries. and
does not rest content with merely cast
ing his ballot in November.
