seven CHAINS Receive Favorable Action
but Only Two Get Through.
Washington, Dec. 12.-Yesterday was
private bill day in the house, and seven
war claims. carrying an aggregate Of
SIS, 4O7, were favorably acted upon by
the committee OF the whole as follows:
To pay Peter Cook, OF Arkansas, 1904
for stores and supplies used by the
federal troops; to pay Augustus P.
Burditt, $3.50. for the use of the steam
er Matte during the war: to pay Flora
A. Darling $3.50. in satisfaction of her
claims for arrest and Imprisonment and
the seizure of her property at New
Orleans in 1864: to correct the muster
of Francis A. Benton as q captain of
the Fourth United States colored
cavalry. and pay him accordingly; to
pay John Lynch $3.50 for services as
assistant Quartermaster at Cincinnati in
| 1s61-62 and to refer the claims of Major
James Stewart. u. S. A., retired, for
longevity pay. to the court of claims
Only the first two. however. were
passed by the house, as Dalzell of Penn
| sylvania made an attack on the bill for
the relief Of Mrs. Flora A. Darling
and developed the fact that she was the
| wife of a Confederate general, a fact
not brought out in the original debate
| on the measure. The result was tina,
| a point of no quorum was made on his
motion to lay the bill on the table. and
1t went over until next Friday.
At the night session thirty-three pri.
vate pension bills were fayorably acted
upon, and the house adjourned to Mon.
day.

necessary. Yesterday afternoon the at
tending physician took his patient to
the Illinois College of Photography In
this city. and had President Bissell sub
ject the hand to the effects of the y ray.
which quickly disclosed and located the
trouble. The rays disclosed a sewing
needle deeply imbedded in the flesh ad-
jacent to the lower bone of the tomb.
The hand was terribly swollen. the rays
having successfully penetrated three to
four inches OF flesh and disclosed the
needle in two sections.

for the statement that the hoi will be
framed to prevent the use of the bonded
warehouses by importers to escape the
payment of higher duties. as they were
used when the Mckinley bill WAS
passed.
To effect this there will be n clause
providing that goods in storage in
bonded warehouses when the new law
goes into effect will pay the rate OF that
law, and not those of the Wilson act
in operation when they were entered
Those schedules of the Wilson law

were in accord with the Republican
policy. There will no ad volorem du-

The reciprocity system may be ef-
fected by the establishment of two
schedules of articles on which conces-

one schedule for goods when I'm
ported from countries which agree to
reciprocity treaties. the other schedule
for those who do not. Several confer
ences of the Republican ways and

hearings begin. 1t is suggested by one
of them that they may decide upon
the schedules of the Wilson act which
they will continue. and perhaps some
Mckinley act rates which will be re-
esta blished. and will give hearings
only on the remaining schedules.

the anxiety on boih sides was redoubled.
The bulletin boards were surrounded al
dav with vast crowds Of people, making
the streets pas.1ble. They stood m
the rain and cheered the slightest indi-
cation of anything favorable TO their
side Of the situation in Indiana, but they
had no patience for returns from other
States. apparently being convinced that
il all depended upon Indiana.
The returns 10 the Democratic state
Committee are very meagre, but do not
differ materially from the Republican re-
turns from the same counties Ihere are
ninety-two counties in the state. COM

nearly complete returns, give the STATE

tho most part come IN the shape OF plu-
rauues by counties. and the vote cannot
be given until The official count is made
