CLAIMS FOR COTTON

Consen..
RESUMPTION OF TIE SCOTT CASE
House Adopts Conference Report
on HaWan.
PRIVATE PEN SION BILLS

At the conclusion OF the routine business
in the Senate today Mr. Money (Miss.). by
unanimous consent. called up bill to
amend an act to provide for the collection
of abandoned property ard the prevention
of frauds in irsurrectonary districts with
in the United States He offered an amend
ment in the form of a new section restrict
ing the provisions of the bill to the pro-
ceeds of cotton seized and sold under the
act of 1863.
Mr.. Chandler said that half the money
which the government had realized from
the sale Of lied and abandoned property
had been returned in times past TO the
people OF the south. He declared his in
tention however. to do what he could TO
keep the little pittance that was left in the
treasury. 1t had cost the United States
government S6Nn0ooO 900 and 3oD.oo lives,
he said, to carry the civil war to a con-
clusion. and he thought if well to place
this little plJtanCe as seton against the
enormous expenditure of $500 100000.
Mr.. Money said he had no doubt of the
position Of Mr.. Chandler and fully expected
him to act in accordance with his judg-
ment, but there was a right in this case
which no man ought to disregard.
He concluded with an appeal to senators
opposed to the measure to permit it to
come to a vote.
Scott Case Resumed.
The bill was then laid aside, and consid-
Grafton was resumed of the resolution de-
cIaring Nathan B. Scott to be entitled to
his seat as senator from West Virginia.
The pending question was the motion of
Mr.. Pettus to recOmmit the resolution to
the committee with Instructions to inves-
tigate the case thoroughly.
Mr.. Pettus then addressed the Senate IN
support Of his contention and motion.

LITIGATION with Washington specially fitted
him for the important office to which he had
been called. The reappointment Of Com
missioner Ross was evidently what the peo-
pie wanted. He had heard nothing but
pleasant things Of Commissioner Ross since
he had been in Washington. and under
stood how the people felt He had made an
ideal Commissioner. and personally he was
glad to see his denomination.
Maj. Sylvester said: "It is hardly neces-
sary for you to inquire how q District Of
fetal regards Commissioner Ross reap
pointment He understands us, and We do
him.
"Mr. Macfarland has for many years been
active in affairs of interest to the District,
and has given great deal OF study to them.
While have not an intimate personal ac-
Quaintance with him. 1 have known him
for many years, and always favorably. He
is an active, intelligent gentleman, of high
character, and has had an extensive and
successful experience"
Mr.. E. ]. Stellwagen. president of the
Union Trust and Storage Company, said:
1.-THE selections of the President seem to
me to be excellent. In long intercourse and
intimate business relations with Mr.. Ross
have always found him to be a courteous,
correct and capable Commissioner. Mr.
Mcfarland I have known from boyhood
and believe that he will make a very credit
able successor to Mr.. Wight, whom I re-.
gard as having been one Of the best Com
missioners we have ever had"
w Calvin Chase. delegate-elect to the
Philadelphia convention, said: Both are
excellent appointments. l. am satisfied Mr..
Macfarland will make a good Commits
sioner, and not lose sight of the fact that
there are some good republicans in the
city who deserve recognition. 1 have al
ways been for Commissioner Ross reap
pointment, and his selection is specially
pleasing to the colored element Of the city
who long ago recognized in him a stanch
friend Of the race, without prejudice, ever
willing to give them patient hearing, and
do the best he could for the material ad-
vancement Of the race"
Mr.. H. V. Boynton said he congratulated
the city upon the selection of MI: Macfar-
land one Of its rulers. He had q per.
sonal acquaintance with him of many years
standing and regarded him as one Of the
best equipped men for the position Care
full and conservative, honest and fearless
he certainly had all the requisites for O

he said he never knew a more popular off,

S. Heath said:

appointment of Commissioner Ross satisfies
every one. My acquaintance with both
