Weborg OF Thurston made a motion to in
crease the appropriation in the Warner bill
for the relief Of sufferers In Sweden, Find
land and Norway from $4,000 to $1,000, but
1t was voted down.
The house. after grinding out a lot of rou-
tine, then went into committee of the
whole and resumed consideration of the
claims bill. This amendment to the bill
was adopted: Allowing sos to each Of the
following for printing constitutional amend
ments In 1895: Fremont Tribune, Pawnee

q. West. II. l. Merriam, P. ]. Erickson, e.
Andrews; to II. n. Campbell, $40; Hastings
Tribune, S242.67, and d. A. Campbell, S545. 80.
Sears, chairman Of the claims committee,
then moved to incorporate H.. r.. 4ss, the
bill appropriating $40, 1878, to reimburse
the Norfolk and oxnard Beet Sugar com
panies for monies paid out by them under
the beet sugar bounty law of 1896. He
made a strong speech in support Of his mo-
tion, pleading the justice Of the sugar
bounty claim. He said the motion was to
secure expeditions action.
sweezy Of Adams took up the cudgel
against the. motion, urging that the two
bills be considered separately, placing him
self on record against the claim.
Loomis Of Dodge held in his hands papers
which he said we're unpaid bounty claims
OF beet sugar growers against the factories
which he held were as legitimate as the
manufacturers claims. He did not under
stand why these claims were not considered.
He said It was his purpose to so amend
H. r. 4S3 at the proper time as to take
care of these farmers claims and thus he
opposed combining the two bills.
Sears held that the law did not provide
for the payment of these latter claims. The
motion to incorporate this claim was not
carried.
Would Prosecute Guilty.
