POLITICS WILL CROP UP.
MEssRs GROSvENoR AND FLYNN HAVE TILT
IN THE HOUsE-DEBATE ON THE
PENSION BILL


Washington, April 25.-The second conference re-
port on the Legislative. Executive and judicial APP
propriation bill was made to the House to-day and
agreed to- another conference being ordered on the
few matters remaining in dispute The principal
subject settled by the report made to-day was that
fixing the salaries Of United States District-At-
torneys and Marshals. AS agreed upon. the total
Of salaries Of attorneys carried In the bill as 1t
passed the House was increased $4,000 and mat OF
marshals increa sed $500.
A bit of Presidential politics was Unexpectedly In
iected into the discussion by apparently innocent
inquiry by Mr. Grosvenor (Rep. Ohio. He wanted
TO know II there anything in the bill relating 10
the Capitol of Oklahoma intended TO prevent the
people Of that Territory from expressing an opinion
as TO its location.
Mr. Bingham (Rep PENN replied that provision
forbiddng the Legislature to entertain proposition
TO change the location Of the Capitol had been agreed
upon at the first conference and not now before
the House.
Mr. Grosvenor-It is proposition that ought to
destroy any man who was party TO 1t.
Mr. Flynn (Rep.. Okla) said that probably he
was responsible as much any one for the inser-
ton of the provision in the bill. III the gentleman
from Ohio" he continued. were not ranking under
other matters. he would not have made this on
saught. That provision. a similar one. has been
in every bill since the establishment of Oklahoma
as a Territory"
he was not ranking under things" and DID not
know what the enormously distinguished gentle
man from Oklahoma meant by these words lie
had spoken because he happened 10 be the recipient
of several letters from prominent residents of the
Territory protesting against the provision referred
to-one of which he read-and he had done what he
conceived 10 be his duty. "Ae 10 the Bombastes
Furioso exhibition by which the gentleman has
worked himself Into a state OF spontaneous ener-
vCscence IL makes impression upon me; care
nothing for IT,"
Mr.. Flynn replied that he was induced TO speak
at all only BY the statement which Mr.. Grosvenor
had made that the provision should destroy any
connected with IT, IL am willing to be de-
stroyed by my people, but not willing to be de-
stroyed by the gentleman from Ohio"
The General Pens ION blu was further discussed for
a couple of hours by Messrs. Grosvenor and Kerr
2eps:. Ohio in support Of IT, and by Meesrs. Bart
lett (Dem. y. " and Miles dem. Md In opp)
stion. At 2:30 O'clock under a previous order pub
lie business was suspended and the House listened
to the delivery OF euogies upon the late Repreaer
tatve w. H. Grain. Of the Xlth District Of Texas.
At 40 O'Clock. as a further mark OF respect. the
House took recess until p. m. the evening
