Forty-five Bills Passed Despite Nieer'
Gus Opposition.
Washington, Jan. Yesterday was
the last private claims day OF this con-
gress in the house, and members with
bills on the calendar carried every
thing before them in committee of the

Many of the claims were old, dating
back to the civil war. and few orig
mated prior to that time. The latter
were for balances due for carrying the
mails in the South when the war broke
out. There were several bills to reim-
burse postmasters and internal-revenue
collectors for stamps lost or stolen.
One was to pay the balance on a con-
tract for ice furnished the army hos
pitals in the Mississippi valley during
the war. The amount claimed is $780,
600, and Is for ice at the rate Of 80
cents a hundred pounds. Among the
others were bills to pay George c. Eli
son. an engineer at the capitol in the
'7O's. $1,000 for the cost of defending
himself against the charge Of murder
and to refund to the customers of W
M. Jacobs, of Lancaster, Pa, the
amount Of the counterfeit stamps pur'
| chased from him.

Spanish Guns Not Worth Buying.

Havana, Jan. 3l.-The interest dis
played here in the claims presented by
the Spanish minister at Washington,
Senior de Ojeda. to Secretary Root, for
payment for the Spanish guns left in
the Cuban forresses. is only lukewarm.
and even if Il should appear that the
ownership of them is vested in Spain
it is not probable that the Cuban gov
ernment will consent to pay for them.
The guns in question number 40 in
all, but all save four IL and Pinch
Krupp guns are considered of too old
q type to be worth purchasing.

bones Of a large cougar anG q rusted
rife. e.
The position Of tho skeletons and
the fact that the rife was pumped
out and its lever thrown down proves
that there must have been a terrific
encounter between man and beast.
An examination Of the gun showed
that 1t had had a year or more OF
exposure. The find recalls to resi-
dents Of Republic that two men have
disappeared from that town within
three years, all trace Of them being
lost. One young nan started for his
fathers ranch in Okanogan county
was never heard of a%fterward.
Another man left Republic for Spo-
kane, via Meyers Falls. He went
clone, carrying a rife, and although q
letter "a expected from him from
Myers Falls, no word was ever re.
ceived. 1t is believed that this man
persisted in the fatal encounter with
the cougar.-New York Herald.
