From West virSinians-Referred TO Cour,
OF Claims.

From West Tirginians-Referrcd to Cour,
OF Claims.
Special Dispatch to the Intell!scncer.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The COM
mittee on war claims Of the house has
submitted report recommending that
the claim OF Thomas B. Scott, OF West
Virginia, be referred to the court OF
claims for adjudication. The amount
involved is $3.50, and IS for forage and
supplies furnished the army of the
United States during the war. The evil
dence submitted in support OF the
claim, It is alleged, Is largely ex parte
and no opportunity !s given for the
ross-examination of witnesses.
The same action is recommended In
the case OF James r. Shrodes. who files
n claim for $500 for services rendered
the government during the war as mas
ter of transportation on the Baltimore
&, Ohio railroad in West Virginia.
Two petitions OF West V!rginians have
been presented in the house from the
committee by Mr.. Richardson, OF Ten
nessee, both asking that war Claims ba
transferred to the court of claims for ad-
jud!cation. One was from William P.
Carper, OF Jefferson county, the other
by Mrs. N. A. Bush, OF Gilmer county.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. io.-The
contest which has been wased in the
house committee on invalid pensions
ever since the assembling OF Congress
over the question OF barring from the
pension rolls the widows and children
OF soldiers who marry hereafter, came
to an end to-day in the defeat of the
proposition. The vote disclosed five
members OF the committee In favor OF
1t and seven against It, the division not
being on party lines. The division was
as follows:
Yeas-Ray, (New York;; Warner,
(IllinoIs): Henry, Comm; Smith.
(3tichigan). Republicans. briggs.
Democrat, (New York;.
Nays-Sulloway, IN. H.); Kerr,
(Ohio): Gibson. (Tenn.): Sturteveat.
Penn.). Republicans. Norton, (ohloy.
Democrat; Botkin, (Knnsas). and Cas-
tie. (Cala.), Populists.
This, probably ends the effort to se-
cure the enactment Of general meas
ure among these lines at this session.

PROMPT ACTION
0fthe State Department Secured conces-

0fthe State Department Secured Conce,-
slons From Germany.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The state
department to-day sent to the senate
the Correspondence with Germany re-
gardinS exclusion Of American fruit.
1t shows that Ambassador White and
the state department both took vigorous
and prompt steps on learning of Ger
many's action, and that Germany dis
avowed any intention to avert compeu-
ton, saying It merely intended to pre-
vent the introduction Of pest.
Secretary Sherman summed It UP by
saying: From the foregoing report It
will be seen that the action OF this gov
ernment and OF Its diplomatic represen-
tativc at Berlin for the protection OF all
legitimate commercial and exporting
interests, injurIous!y affected by the
German prohibition was prompt and ef-
fective and that as the matter now
stands. the admission OF American fruit
into Germany, has been occurred in ali
cases save where the actual existence of
the San jose scale insect upon the fruit
or in he packIngs thereof Is ascer-
tanned"

PITTSBURGH VIEW
of the Iron md Steel Trnde-Sltuntion
Practically Unchaurrd

Practically Unchanged.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 10.-The Ameri-
can Manufacturer in its weekly review
will say tomorrow:
While the general situation remains
practically the same, it may be said that
prospects are better in number Of
lines. There is more activity in pig
iron at some points ana finished lines
are fully as good as they We're. The
eastern market shows the least change.
New York reports nothing new. with the
trade Showing no radical change in val
ues. Southern pig iron sellers are max
ing concessions IN that market. which
has rather weakened It's tone. The fin
ished iron lines remain as they. were.
AT Philadelphia the large production
or pig iron has the effect of making
buyers hold off. Although the market
is quiet. larger requirements are being
filled. The bar mills are well occupied
there are good reports from sheet iron
makers and there Is a large distribution
OF merchant steel. The plate line Is the
busiest In the trade and there Is n good
demand, for bridge building material,
Chicago reports Il fair degree OF activ-
ity for the mid-winter season.
Pig iron is unchanged. As there is
considerable bridge building to be done
next season. structural prices are firm.
The demand for sheets Is good. Good
sales OF Bessemer pig have been made
at Cleveland and all irons are holding
their own. The activity In iron and
steel bars Is pronounced. There is a
better undertone in pig iron reported in
the Cincinnati market Muck bar is n
little better and a good trade In bar iron
Is going. Sheets and roofing material
are III fairly good demand.

BRYAElsM RUN MAD.

+ FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 10-The
state.senate by q vote of TO- sufficient
to pass bill over veto. to-day pass
ed the Goebel elections, or Force" bill,
and sent It to the house. where It IS
nearly sure to so through in time to ge,
4 veto from the governor back and
passed upon before an adjournment.
This has created the widest political
excitement here and throughout the
state, the Republicans admitting that
II the bill becomes Jaw they can never
carry the state or any important cleo
tion therein again.
The Democrats who pushed the meas
ure aver that the Kentucky vote was
stolen from William Jennings Bryan In
1896, and that 1t shall never OCCUR again
through the election officers appointed
by county Judges In the Republican
strongholds.
Republicans and conservative Demo-
Gratis say on the other hand that 1t is
but 4 climax to a recently grown senti-
ment In this state that Republicans
shall never have the state office or pres
idential vote again.
The prospects are that Republicans
will attempt to filibuster out the four
remaining weeks OF the session rather
than allow the bill to so through. but
they will have q great undertaking
with the speaker of the house and so
much time against them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1o.-Dur-
Ing almost the entire session OF the SEN
ate to-day the Indian appropriation bill
was under discussion. Tho reading OF
the bill was completed and oil OF the
committee amendments were adopted.
subsequently, several amendments OF
a minor character were attached 10 the
measure. M-. Allen, tNeb.), ealivened
the proceedings u few minutes before
adjournment by making an attack upon
Speaker Reed for preventing the enact
tnent, as the Nebraska senator declared,
of meritorlous legislation. sent TO the
house OF representatives by the senate.
He denounced the speakers action in
this regard, as a disgrace" 20 Con-
sress and to the American people.
When n point of order was made
against him for the use OF improper

was stating only the truth and that he

The house was IN a very bad temper
to-day and the whole session was con-
sumed in flibusterinG against two bills
OF minor Importance, one to Issue du-
plicate check and the Other to make

Neither got further than the engros-
nent and third reading. The trouble
arose over the enforcement OF the rule
against the discussion OF Irrelevant sub
jects when NJ. Handy. q Democrat OF
Delaware. attempted to reply on the
floor during the consideration OF those
bills to letter recently written By
Thomas T. Bayard, secretary Of state
under the Cleveland administration in
denuuciat!on OF the free silver Demo-
cracy. Roll call followed roll call all
day long and partison feeling reached
q high pitch. Finally when 1t became
evident that no progress could be made
