the Appropriation Committee, long fill
buster consumed the time of the House
to-day. Mr. Cannon desired the House
to proceed with the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, but was caught mapping by
the Democrats, who desired to devote the
day to the consideration of private
claims. 1t was the last day under the
rules which could be devoted to claims
at this Congress. and notices had been
sent out yesterday asking the Democrats
to be in their seats to-day. AS result,
Mr. Cannon was outwitted but he kept
I'D the fight all day. forcing roll calls for
three hours, and later fiIibustering in
Committee of the Whole, and winding up
by making the point Of no quorum
-gainst two small bills favorably acted
upon in committee
The net result was that the whole day
was wasted.

1T is asserted that the mana cement Of
