IN THE HOUSE,

Washington. February 2l.-The Indian
appropriation bill was taken up in COM
mitteesof the whole. the pending question
being the amendment offered by Mr..
Flynn, Republican of Olkahama, to
strike out the item appropriating $4,000
for the salaries OF the i've Indian inspeo-
tors
Mr.. Grow, Republican of Pennsylvania.
moved to reduce the appropriation for
salary from $4,000 to $2OOO To this Mr..
Crisp, Democrat of Georgia, raised tho
point of order that it was obnoxious to
the rule fork idding the Incorporation of
legislation changing existing law into
appropriation bills.
Dir. Barrett. Republican of Massachu-
setts, saroastically deplored the frequent
references made in the dabate to the in
ability OF the treasury to pay the salaries
provided by law. He had the best
authority for saying that the Secretary of
the Treasury not only had abonda MT
funds from which to pay all legitimate
expenses of the government, but so much
indeed, that he had only the day before
yesterday presented to J. Pierrepont
Morgan and his associates of Naw York,
the sum OF S208, 440, money belonging to
the people of the United States. At that
time, Mr.. BARRETT said, thare was some
thing over four millions of bonds of the
recent issue defaulted. For these bonds
q competent bidder in Boston who had
been awarded some of the bonds under
another bid had offered to pay the United
States an amount in excess of the bid Of
J. Pierrepont Morgan for the same bonds
by the sum mentioned and yet the bonds
were given to Mr.. Morgan, thereby de-
priving the treasury of e20S, 440 that
otherwise would have been placed there
for the uses of the government.
Mr.. Grosvenor Republican of Ohio,
discussing the point OF order, warned the
gentlemen ON both sides of the chamber
that the people of the country had their
eyes on this Congress and one thing they
were looking at it for particularly, was
to see whether or not it increased salaries
| or made new offices. For one, he pro-
posed to make a record that should be
known to all mankind, against any in
crease in salaries in this year of depres-
sion. These salaries were fixed Or yea rs
ago, when gold was at a premium, horses
worth $125 apiece and cattle six and eight
cents pound. The Indian committee
proposed to put them back to the figure
obtained then, now that horses were
worth but S25 apiece and cattle two and
three cents pound. He could not follow
them in that course. (Applause.)
AT the evening session several private
pensions bill were considered and dis
posed of. The House adjourned until Mon
day.
