A clatter on the attic stair
A tramping overhead,

They're taking down the wheels.

fore the house until o'clock today. but be-
yond completing the general debate little
progress was made. OF the GOO old claims
in the bill, all but a few come from the
South. and dilatory tactics were resorted
to. to prevent progress with the bill. Dur
ing the filibustering the house was in an
uproar. AT 5 o'clock. after completing two
pages of the bill. the house took a recess
until O'clock for an evening session. to
be devoted to pension legislation. After
the evening session the house adjourned
until Monday.
Hull of Iowa. chairman of the military

agreement by the confereeS on the army
appropriation bill. The report was agreed
to without debate.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole, and took up the special order.
Loud OF California demanded the read
ing of the bill. which covers eighty pages.
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, before the de-
bate began, made the point of order
against the bill that it was not competent
for the war claims committee to report
bill containing $40 claims. each of which
should be the subject of a separate bill.
The chairman OF the committee of the
whole payne. of New York; ruled that
the point came too late.
The general debate then proceeded un-
der an agreement that it be limited to two
hours.
Gibson of Tennessee, in opening the de-
bate, explained the nature of the claims.
all of which were for stores and supplies
furnished to the army by loyal citizens.
The loyalty of the claimants had been
afflrmativey proved. The claims. he
said. were distributed as follows by

Dingley opposed the bin in an earnest
speech. He insisted that members who
imagined that the findings of the court
ability against the government were mis-
taken. The court simply found certain
facts. lie was perfectly willing. he said,
TO take up these claims separately and
pass upon their merits.
Richardson of Tennessee, in advocating
the passage of the bill, called attention
TO the fact that ninety-two per cent. Of
the claims submitted TO the cour.
