DEFICIENCY BILL.

(By Associated Press,

II WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-The House to-
day voted unanimously to strike from the
3 urgent deficiency bill the provisions for
the second payment OF mileage TO the
senators and representatives of this Con.
gress, and then passed the urgent den-
cheney appropriation bill. This action
was the climax to an exciting discus

Deep Interest was manifested IN the De-
termination OF the question. and there
were but few absentees when the HOUSE
convened.
Durinr the debate Mr.. Parker insisted
that there was nothing to warrant the
drawing of mileage for travelling 3ou
miles during the period that the ciock
was striking Il. He said that the House
had talked OF horses and carriages used
by tho several government departments
and made the point that 1t would be IN
consistent to allow fictitious cGnstruc'
ton on the mileage Item
Mr. Livingston (Georgia) called atten-
ton to the fact that the House. on

MIR, Parker replied that 1t was DESIRED
to take every precaution, reatiirm'ng MS
contention, however. that the Rouse
could not adjourn the November session
without cor current resoluuoh.
Mr., Maddox said he should vote
against taking mileage. He declared
tat Congress was duty-bound to set
ayamnles of economy to the government
departments.

Tough.
Sight Made Gen. Sherman Weep.
1t is related by a general who was
present at a private reunion Of veter-
ans in Brooklyn that Gen Sherman
told this story:
The most painful experience had
during the war was near Chickamauga,
when il was necessary to take pos
session of an eminence held by the
enemy. The confederate battery on
the summit was doing terrible execu-
tion. The fight was prolonged, and
finally I saw that it could be captured
only by ordering a considerable force
Of men to charge up the hill and take
the battery.
AS the infantry came in view the
guns opened fire and the slaughter
was beyond description. To establish
our artillery there it was necessary to
make a dash for the height, and then
occurred the most appalling spectacle
I saw during the war. The ground
was covered with dead and dying men,
but the crisis had arrived, and il was
either plant our batteries on that hill
or lose the battle.
Even the horses dragging the guns
SHE'D at the frantic scramble Of the
wounded men trying to get out Of the
way Of the approaching artillery As
the ponderous wheels bearing cannon
swept over the wounded, crushing
their bodies and breaking their bones
amid screams Of men and explosions
Of shells, turned heartsick, and for
the first time I cried like a child"
As Gen. Sherman finished his nara
tive, said the narrator, his eyes were
again full Of tears, as we're those OF
nearly every man in the room.

never been exeelled in the history Of
the Grand Army.
"On a recent visit, and at a meeting
with the executive committee organ
lied TO prepare for our coming, the fol-
lowing information was communicated
TO the commander-in-chief:
The accommodations viii be ample
and Of any price Including free quar-
ters) to suit the most frugal, the most
necessitOus or the most opulent Of the
comrades, and full notice viii in due
time be communicated through these
headquarters and otherwise Of the de
tails Of such arrangements.
The city viii be decorated in its
parks and gardens with floral greet
ings and emblems Of our old service.
Every attention viii be paid to the
visiting comrades and their associates
and friends, including surviving army
nurses, for whom special preparation
is being made. Excursions are planned
for Plymouth Rock and Concord and
Lexington, in the first of which a feet
will bear the comrades In the others,
500 automobiles, and these things will
be free offer Of our hosts.
The battle squadron Of the United
States in the eastern waters Will ex-
hibit its power and show US what the
successors Of the men Farragut and
Porter and Dupont and Cushing are
able to do for the protection Of the
land. Appealing to the inner man, the
WOman's Relief Corps will spread
special entertainment on Wednesday,
and the comrades a fish dinner at Ma
liant on Friday.
The parade, which occurs this year
on Tuesday, August Is, while short,
will be on almost every rod Of its
route over asphaltum paved streets
and by monuments Of battle, of heroes,
Of great ideals, by the Common and by
the State House; and its way will IN
fold the established glories Of a great
free state Would you have anything
more? If so, ask for it, and if within
the range Of reasonable hospitality it
will be Afforded.
And to secure all these the state of
Massachusetts has voted $4,000, and
the city OF Boston has voted SIS, 900,
and the citizens are guaranteeing
whatever other expenses may be in
CURED. So let every wandering son
of New England who bore arms in the
great war come and see the old COM
mOnwealth and the old city, and then,
if we must, let US say that our eyes
have seen the glory Of the republic.
And the cOmmander-in-chief earnestly
hopes that all will be done that can
be done to secure a large attendance
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic in
this great parade, and asks that this
circular may be read in every post
room Of the Grand Army N the United
States
