THE RICHMOND CLAIMS.

The Locomotive Works and Richmond
College Bills.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. May u.-Specal.
THE rumor that the claims Of the Rich
mond Locomotive and Machine works and
the Richmond College, were amendments
To- the Sundry Civil bin. now being con-
sidercd in the House brought several OF
the Virginia ahsentCcs 10 their seats to-
day OF course. the rumOr had no fOun-
dation in fact. az both of these claims are
on the General Deficiency BILL which is
still lying untouched in the room of the
Committee on Appropriations OF the Sem
ate
Just when il will be taken up 10y the
committee no member OF that body cares
TO state The truth is. II is a tough jon.
ana the committee does not care To tackle
if The bin Is now really more ovcrladcn
than when Il failed in the House an the
last Congress. and In order To prepare "a
bill that will he acceptable 20 that body,
the pruning knife must be applied un-
sparingly.
As every member Of the senate has a
pet amendment which he insists on be-
ing cared Tor. the committee Is in rath-
or embarrassing situation
The claim of the Richmond Locomotive
and Machine Works ON its merit is about
the best IN the bill and the one which
Nill meet with the least opposition. If the
great raft Of deadwood can be cut ont
the bill will pass the Senate and be con-
CURED in by The House before the end OF
the fiscal year.
