HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The bill to
pay the Book Publishing Company of
| the Methodist Episcopal Chruch (South)
S2SS, 900 for damages sustained by that
| corporation during the war. after en-
| countering an obstinate 1libuster
which staved off a vote on two previous
| bill days, was piloted to its passage
| in the House to-day by Cooper of
Texas, who was in charge Of the meas
ure. The friends of the measure
proved themselves in an overwhelm-
ing majority, and the opposition to-day,
finding it could hold out no longer, re-
luctantly yielded. The vote ON the
bill was 1SS to 81.
This was private bill day in the
House under the rules, but Grout lR.l
of Vermont, in charge of the District
of Columbia appropriation bill, moved
to supplant the regular order with the
consideration of that bill.
This Immediately caused a renewal
of the fight over the bill to reimburse
the Book Publishing Company of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for S2SS.-
900 damages sustained during the war,
which had already consumed the entire
time of two private bill days. The
friends OF the latter measure, under
the leadership of Cooper CD of Texas,
rallied II, opposition to the motion, and
defeat ed ii on a rising vote-72 to 129.
In continuation of the filibustering
tactics begun last week, Dalzeu Sc
cured the floor.
A roll-oall developed such an over
whelming majority in favor of the bill,
the vote being IS TO 162, that Dalzell
offered to make terms with the friends
Of the bill. and it was finally arranged
