Day in House.

Washington, January 31.-The great
day was devoted to exercises in con-
nection with the acceptance from the
state of Maryland of Statue of Charles
Carroll and John Hanson, which will
henceforth stand in Statuary Hall, at
the National Capital.
The statehood bill was not considered
but it holds it's place on the calendar.
Among the speakers in the Maryland
statue exercises were Senators Depew
and Bacon. MIR. Depew said the time
would come when the only persons
connected with the civil war who would
be remembered were Lincoln, Grant
and Lee.
Mr.. Bacon supplied the place of Mr..
Daniel who had been requested to
speak. He said that not only now but
at all times had the people of the
southern states which were included
in the thirteen colonies been loyal to
the principles enunciated by the De-
claration of Independence. He sug-
gested that in addition to Statuary
Hall, there should be hall for the
immortals,'' and said that such a hall
should contain statues of all the franz
ers and signers of the Declaration Of
Independence. The senate adjourned
until Monday.

morning at 80 o'clock it was still the
legislative day of Friday and the con-
sideration of the claims bills favora bly,
acted upon in committee Of the whole
was proceeded with. There was not
quorum present and the situation was
at the mercy of Mr.. Payne. the republi-
can floor leader. He allowed the bills
to which he was not opposed to be
passed, but every one to which he
raised objection was laid aside under
his demand. Thirty-two of the bills
were passed. 1t then was agreed by
unanimous consent that the remaining
thirteen should be considered next
Tuesday. Then at II o'clock the house
adjourned until II noon.
