Washington. March 2f--The House.
today, unanimously passed the bill for

of the Maine disaster. The bill reim
hurscs the surviving officers and men
for the losses they sustained to an

and directs the payment of a sum equal
To years pay to the legal heirs of
those who persisted. There was quite
a spirited debate over an amendment
suggested by MIR. Cannon to give the
survivors each years pay out of hand
instead of attempting to reimburse
them for actual losses. Some old alleS
ed scandals in connection with the re-
endorsement of the survivors of the
Samoan disaster We're raked up but
the debate in the end was saved from
rather sOrdid tone by a beautiful trib-
ute paid to the gallant dead by Mr..
Cousins Of Iowa, in a short but elo-
4uent epeech. He aroused the galleries
