Washington, Jan. 30.-This was the
last private claims day Of this con-
gross in the house and the members
with bills on the calendar carried
everything before them in the commit
tee Of whole. Forty-fve bills were
acted on fayorably, despite the efforts
Of Mr.. Payne, the republican floor
leader, assisted by Mr.. Cannon and
others, to defeat some of them. Many
claims were old, dating back to the
civil war, and a few originated prior
to that time. The latest was for bal
ances due for carrying the mails in
the south when the war broke out.
Mr.. Payne was particularly insistent
in his opposition to these bills, call
fraudulent character of many. He
expressed the opinion that all these
claims were paid before. The mem
bers interested stood together, how
ever, and voted him down every time
he demanded a division. When the
committee of the whole reported the
bills to the house, Mr.. Payne, blocked
the final passage by making the point
Of no quorum. But friends of the
claims refused to be baked. A mo-
ton was made to recess until tomor-
row in order to continue the 1egisla-
tive day and the sergeant-at-arms and
his deputies were sent out to arrest
and bring in the absent. 1t was s
o'clock at night before the requisite
quorum was secured to carry the mo-
ton and let the session go over. Elk
cept for routine business the senate
devoted the session to eulogies of the
late Senator Mcmillan Of Michigan.
Tributes were paid by several mem
bers, including Senator Alger, who
delivered his first speech in the
senate. Senator Burrows address
was the principal one, and was quite
lengthy.

Motion in the Heavens That Awaits
an Explanation.

TWO years ago new star blazed
out in the constellation Perseus
Such new stars are by no means rare,
but this was so great and varied in
brilliancy so rapidly that it was
specially noteworthy Soon after the
outburst that made the star so
bright, it was found to be surrounded
by nebula. and this nebula spread
outward around the nucleus gradually.
as seen by the naked eye, because OF
the stars great distance, but really
with immense speed. In fact, it has
been calculated that this speed was so
great that it seems impossible that
the spread of the rebula could have
been due to the motion of ordinary
matter at all. 1t has been suggested
that the apparent motion was really
only progressive Illumination of the
ploded star But Prof. Simon New
comb calculates that even this will
not account for the motion. for it was
at least ten times that of light. We
have thus actually observed a motion
in the heavens that vastly exceeds
any otner that we have ever heard
of. whether it be of projected matter
or of other waves. What it is, we can

This Family Is incorporated.

The Fairbanks Family of America
0ncorporated) is one of the latest or
ganizations asking for a charter. The
objects of the society are to collect
and compile historical records of the
clan Fairbanks, to hold property, to
pres erve objects of interest to the
family, and to promote education of
it's members in subjects relating to
the family history.
The first Fairbanks to take up an
abode on this continent was Jonathan,
but the tribe has been prolific, and
about 1000 American families have
descended from him to refute the
racial suicide hullabaloo.
In August last a family reunion was
held at the Fairbanks homestead in
Dedham, Mass, and one of it's results
was the incorporation recently asking
for a charter The idea of the So
ciety is to purchase the Dedham prop.
