The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-04-23
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

WaSllngt0n, April lS.-At tne opening
of the session of the house today Mr..
Cannon Rep.) of Illinois, chairman of
the appropriations committee, reported
the general deficiency bill, the last of the
appropriation bills, and gave notice that
he would call it up at the earliest possible
moment.
81 Bills were passed as follows: To es-
tablish a training station for naval ap-
prentices on Goat island, San Francisco
harbor; to settle the claims of the legal
representatives of S. w. Marsden, late
Indian agent at Union, |. Il.
Mr.. Talbert Dem.) of South Carolina,
who had previously blocked private bills,
objected to a pension bill presented by
Mr.. Cannon Rep.) of Illinois.
Mr.. Cannon made a personal appeal to
the gentleman from South Carolina. He
said it was the first time in twenty years
he had asked for unanimous consent.
He reviewed the pathetic history of the
soldier, who was constituent OF his,
shot to pieces, and almost totally blind.
Mr.. Talbert was plainly touched by the
recital and withdrew his objection.
Several bills to donate condemned can
non to Grand Army of the Republic posts
were passed before 1 o'clock, when,
under the special order, the eulogies on
the late Representative Cogswell of Mas
asachusetts were begun.
Messrs. Catchings, Grosvenor, Hen
derson of Iowa and Dockery of Mis-
souri, were among those who laid their
tributes on his bier.
Then, at $50 p. M, as a further mark
of respect, the house adjourned.

THE LAST OF THE APROPRIA-
# TION BILLS REPORTED TO
THE HOUSE.
Tributes 70 GENERAL COGGESWELL.
A Good Portion of the Day in the House
Spent in Honoring the Memory of
S# Deceased Member-Other
IA Washington Items.

The house today paid tribute to the
memory of the late Representative Cogs-
well of Massachusetts.
General Cogswell was one of the most
popular members of the house. He was
generous, big-hearted and lovable, and
all who came into contact with him were
charmed with his personality. The
tributes to his memory today reflected
the high esteem in which he was held,
and departed from the stock eulogies
customarily delivered. His career as a
Soldier and statesman, and the nobility
of his character were eloquently and
warmly portrayed.
v Before the eulogies began, Mr.. Cannon
reported the general deficiency bill, the
last appropriation bill, and Mr.. Hillborn
of California secured n passage of a bill
to establish naval training school on
Goat Island, San Francisco harbor.
