Bill Passed for Payment of sIc4,oco tc
City of Baltilnore-Mr. Tyler
Secures Draft From Treasury.

Senator McComas of Maryland has a
grievance, and he is not particular who
knows of it,
Some years ago, when Senator Ne
Comas first entered the Senate his ct
tention was directed to claim for
100000 which the city of Baltimore had
against the United States Government.
and he determined TO get the money for
the city if possible.
He secured the passage Of a bill fer
this purpose in the Senate. but it failed
in the House. ne reviewed his effort
this session and had the satisfaction Of
seeing the bill passed. The Senator
was naturally delighted, and it may
have occurred to him that his constitu-
ents would be highly gratiied.
Mr.. Tyler'a Eyes Opened
According to the story y. W Tyler
was sitting at breakfast cne morning in
Washington when lie ncticod in a rer-s-
paper a paragraph to the effect that
Baltimore was to finally receive the
s104,000 it had advanced the Govern
mcnt during the war OF 1872. As ne
munched his biscuit he re-read the para
graph and 1t recalled fond memories to
his mind.
Leaving the table he took from his
desk neatly tied package of papers,
yellow with age, and went to the Treas
ury Department Here he laid before the
Treasury officials a contract with the
city of Baltimore by which he was made
the city's agent in this claim, and under
which he was to receive % per cent If
1t was ever collected.
Ancient Credentials Correct.
His credentials were In proper form.
although executed some twenty-five
years ago, and he was given a warrant
%. 100000. Going to Baltimore he
presented the warrant to the mayor
and received in return a city check for
e,0c0, accompanied by the most pro-
iuse thanks for his efforts in behalf OF
the claim.
Senator McComas' astonishment when
he. in turn, read in his morning paper
at his breakfast table in Washington
that Mr.. Tyler had not only collared
the coin but had been given the credit
for securing the passage OF the bill
knew no bounds. for ne SAYS Fytsr
never saw him about the matter. He
is now busily engaged in explaining to
his constituents that he, and not DIR.
Tyler. passed the bill.
Few Baltimoreans begrudge Tyler the
s26, eco. For a number of years ago he
and another party held similar con-
tract with the State. under which they
assisted in securing the passage of
bill refunding about $3.50, coo TO the State
OF Maryland.

Mr.. Cannon an 0bjector.

At the last moment Representative
Cannon of Illinois procured the inser-
tion in bill of a provision that no part
OF the money should be paid to claims
agents, and they received nothing. al
though the State was willing to pay
and the courts upheld the claim, except
for the stipulation in the bill.
Tyler's associate had spent con-
siderable amount Of money il antici-
patton OF the payment OF the claim and
was ruined when he failed to collect on
his contract.

Two Hours for Debate.

When the deficiency bill was taken
up two hours were allowed for general
debate. This was consumed by general
discussion of matters irrelevant to the
provisions of the biR.
While arranging the time for general
debate Mr.. Cannon remarked that "at
this stage of the session" five hours was
too long a time for general debate. Mr..
Bartlett. referring to this remark, ask
ed Mr.. Cannon II he could give the House
any idea OF the date of adjournment.
1T will not be my fault" exclaimed
Mr.. Cannon, "if 1t be not earlier than
July T."
This statement was greeted with ap-
plause on both sides of the chamber.
When the bill was read under the
minute rule, Mr.. Bartlett CDem.

the revenues OF the Cuban government
for the sum paid Governor General Wood
in excess of his salary az brigadier gen
eral OF the United States army, s15.500
The Washington times., 1902-06-19
Point of Order Raised.

| Mr.. Cannon made the point Of order
| and that it was not authorized by ex-
isting law.
| Upon this Mr.. Bartlett cited the provi-
sion of the deficiency bill for last year,
reimburslng the Cuban revenues by s15,-
! $50. expended in furnishing the Sec
retary OF War information concerning
the receipts and expenditures of that
government also in the sundry civil
appropriation bill. provision was made
to restore to Cuba the amounts stolen
by Rathbone. Neely and Reeves.
Mr.. Bartlett vigorously denounced
the payment to General Wood as Illegal
and unjustihable, and said Congress
would have 10 face the matter now or at
some time. In his judgment it would
be wise to face 1t now.
The amendment was withdrawn In the
face Of an unfavorable ruling by Chair
man Sherman.
Mr. Loudenslager CRep., n. j. moved
