poUtunity to get way.

Congress- closed short OF Isl days, which

Uncle Joc'' Cannon made the fight Of
his life yesterday to prevent the concur
renee OF the House i'll the Senate amend
ment containing more than seven hundred
items and carrying two million dollars
to pay the findings of the court of claims
III the French spoiiation claims, the Bow
man aSt claims and the Indian depreciation
claims
1t was evident from the beginning that
Mr.. Cannon's ammunition was being wasted
In vain, as the constituents of too many
members were interested in the adjudication
OF these old claims against the govern
ment and this looked to them like good
time and convenient opportunity to settle
up the whole matter
SAVERS STOOD BY HIM.
Chairman Cannon was assisted in his
losing fight by Mr. Sayers, also member
Of the Committee on appropriations. The
members evidenced the greatest inter
est III the proceedings and the aisles were
crowded with those anxious 10 hear the
debate
Mr.. Mahon, chairman Of the Committee
on Claims, led those who believed the
claims involved to be just and worthy of
adjustment Messrs. Richardson, Gros-
venOr and Adams OF PennS ylvania, Coin
cided with Mr. Mahon's views.
Mr.. Grosvenor ridculedi the contention
that the spoilatiOn claims were not Il
legal debt against the government because
war existed at the time between the
United States and France. he said he
would as soon vote not topay government
bond as TO vote against the payment OF
these claims in a time ofabiiity 10 pay them
PROTESTS OF NO AVAIL
Mr.. Adams said that by the treaty of
1888 the United States had received
five millions of dollars TO meet these ciaitns.
which il still held as q trust fund. OF that
money only a million and quarter had
been paid on account of them.
After a stirring appeal by ar. Cannon
10 turn down this irregular method OF
legislation, the vote was taken on Mr..
Aahon's motion 10 concur in the Senate
amendment, resulting, yeas, Ill; nays,
81. The announcement was received
with applause On motion by Mr Cannon,
the House asked conference with the
senate on the remaining amendments to
the bill
The conference report on the bill for the
relief OF the settlers on the Northern Pacific
Railroad indemnity lands was agreed TO
a supplemental conference report on the
sundry civil bill, showing an agreement
upon everything OF importance but the
public building items, was presented and
partly considered. when, at $50 p. m. Mr..
KEN made point OF no quorum, and only

that Savannah, Macon, Atlanta and
other points more distanant offer a

latter officials all seem to be appointed
at the ms ance of Mr.. Fitzgerald and
presumably they do his bidding in
every move they take. According to
the original plan each colonist was
given an allotment Of land on each
share Of locating stock" as it is
known, and he further had the priv
Hedge of purchasing the land outright
for a consideration. Otherwise he held
1t for five years at the hands of the
colony association and was then given
a deed. The latest rrle is to the ef-
feet that no more deeds shall be given,
accordingly each colonist is denied
property right in his land. Lately, al.
SO, colOnists have been forbidden TO
trade Or sell their allotments-another
very distressing and irritating regula-
lation, so they complain. This state Of
affairs it is not hoped to remedy until
next winter when the Georgia legiela-
ture meets. Then the town will be in
c~OrpOrated.
There is now one railroad entering
the town and there are some improve.
ments other way, although they are
yet mostly on paper. There is one
brick building in the place-a bank
build ing 1910 feet. Some of the frame
houses are two stories high, and are
said to be quite pretentious. A St.
Louis firm talks of establishing a can
ming factory to use the vegetable pro-
ducts OF the cOlonists but SO far no sign
OF their building bas been seen by the
colonists. Notwithstanding the rather
unpromisipg reports of the place, the

intention of starting from here about
