IN THE HOUSE.
The major portion of the day in the
mouse was occupied in the transaction of
Distrlct OF Columbia business The bill
to revise and codify the postal laws
which has been under consideration at in
terVals for ten days, was finally passed
today. Its friends succeeded in combining
the measure strictly to the purpose for
Which 1t was framed-a codification and
revision OF existing laws. All attempts
10 amend 1t in any vital particular failed
AA0 must Interesting feature of the day
was an attempt to secure a vote upon
the senate bill to appoint a commission
TO consider and adjudicate the claims Of
United States citizens against Spain aris-
ing out of the war with Spain which this
government assumed by article of the
treaty of Paris. The house at the last
session recommitted a similar bill with
instructions to report back a bill to con-
Ter jurisdiction in these cases upon the
court OF claims. Mr.. Haugen of the COM
m1ttee on war claims, secured considera-
ton OF a substitute for the bill drawn in
accordance with the instructions of the
mouse, and then appealed to the house to
vote down the substitute and pass the
! Senate bill. There was some intimation
of sharp practice over this mode of pro-
cedure, but the matter was settled tenn
porarily by postponing consideration of
the bill until next Monday.

of the army as a second lieutenant was
passed O'Reilly was lieutenant in the
TWenty-second infantry in 1872, and was
