Business of the Court of Clatm..

Replying to a resolution of inquiry, the
Attorney General has sent to the Senate
statement concerning the status of the
business of the Court of Claims He says
there are, outside of the Indian depreciation
French spoliation and letter carrier claims
about 535 cases on the docket He esti-
mates that with the present force abou,
eight years time would be necessary for
the disposal of the present accumula ton of
business. referring specifically to the In.
dian depreciation cases. the Attorney Cen
eral says that $50 of the 1O.S4 claims
originally filed have been disposed of. He
Says that the disposition of the Indian dep-
relation claims, which are now before the
Supreme Court, and only one of which
has been decided. will have an important
bearing upon many of the cases of this ma
ture now before the court. The one de-
cls1on rendered related only to the citizen
ship of claimants. and disposes of about
800 cases.
Mineral Lands for SCHOOL,
The House compittee on public lands
has decided to favoraby report the SEN
ate bill to devote % per cent of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of mineral lands in the
pubic land states to the support Of schools
of mines. The Senate bill to compel set
tiers on railroad grant lands who have paid
the companies only il part for their lands
and paid less than the government price for
the same lands, to pay sums equal to the
difference to the government was also ia
vorably reported.
Pension Vested Right.
The subcommittee on invalid pensions has
considered the terms Of bill to make pen
slons vested rights and to provide for the
repeal of the clause in the act of 1890 reuuir-
ing WIDOWS to prove, as condition prece-
dent to obtaining a pension, that they are
dependent on their daily labor for support
ana to substitute therefor provision along
the lines of that ruled out, while the pen-
sion appropriation bill was before the House
requiring them to prove that their net in
come does not exceed $500. The bill will be
drawn and submitted to the full committee
on Tuesday.
Probable Mild Censure of Bayard,
The House committee on foreign relations
will report a resolution this week convey
irg mild disapproval of Ambassador Bay
ards speeches. 1t is understood that the
subcommittee feel that the present tension
between the British and American govern
ments over Venezuela constrains them to
recommend a milder form of censure than
they think the ambassadors remarks would
call for under ordinary circumstances.
In the discussion of the question already
had by the whole committee it was agreed
that Ambassador Bayards remarks were in
discreet, and an attempt will be made to
agree upon n form of resolution which will
be a compromise of extreme views, and
which both democrats and republicans can
approve, SO as to divest the proceedings of
any partisan character.

sUBURBANITEs DISAPPOINTED.
Mai. Davis Report on the South
CRpitoI street bridge.

Considerable disappointment is felt among
the residents of Congress Heights and VI
entity at the report made by Maj. Davis on
the proposed bridge which was TO span the
Eastern branch from the foot of South Cap
itol street to Giesboro' Point. Maj. Davis,
who was given charge of the surveys ard
estimates for the proposed structure. re-
ported that the effect of fits erection would
be to cut off the Washington navy yard
from deep water. even IL the bridge were
supplied with a large draw. In CONVERSE
ton today with Star reporter, Mr.. A. e.
Randle, in speaking of the matter, said
that Maj. Davis, for some reason, seemed
to be opposed to the South Capitol street
bridge.
in his report" said Mr. Randle. Maj.
Davis makes the figure for building the
bridge ridiculously high. Any one looking
at the map can see The Pennsylvania ave-
rue bridge which only cost sl20,000. and q
glance at the proposed site of the South
Capitol street bridge would show that IL
would only cost a third more or at the cut
side twice as much.
Still. fearing that the people in that
much-neglected section Of the District
m ght succeed in getting this Iong-worked-
for bridge, Maj. Davis tries to put an ad-
ditional obstacle i'm the way by saying that
no bridge should be built between the gum
shop, which is known as a navy yard, and
the sea, notwithstanding the fact that the
proposed structure will have draw.
The navy yard was moved from WASH
ingtou some years ago. and the only thing
remaining is the gunshop," continued Mr.
Randle. MIR. Coffin Of Maryland last week
introduced bill authorizing The Secretary
Of the Navy to estimate the cost of remcv-
ing the present gunsnop Tor navy Yard now
situated on the shallow channel OF the
Eastern branch, where a 'catboat can
hardly reach, to deep water al the arsenal
This would be a great benefit to the rayy
and the energetic Congressman who intro
duced the bill ought to follow IL up and
have the government re-establisn a navy
yard at Washington-not merely gunshop
THE people in Washington and Mary
land should also hail with delight Congress
man Collins additional request In his bill
to have an estimate made for reclairning
the malarious swamps of the Eastern
branch said Mr.. Randle, in conclusion
II his bill carries an appropriation of &c.,
600, and from the point OF benefit to the
navy and the public health of this city, it
should pass"
