TO EXTEND THE TIME
 FOR FILING CLAIMS
SENATOR BATE WILL SEEK PRO- VISION ALLOWING CoNFEDER- ATE SOLDIERS FURTHER TIME FOR MAKING DAMAGE CLAIMS.

Washington, April special)-There is a provision in the general deficiency bill now pending in the senate, provid- ing for an appropriation of $l25,OOO to pay for claims of Confederate soldiers for property taken from them in violation of the terms of the surrender. The present appropriation is to pay for claims which were filed up to the first of last March.
 Since then other claims equally as meritorious have been presented to the department but of course cannot be paid under the law. Senator Bate of Tennes- see will offer an amendment to the bill which. it is expected, will be adopted, extending until the first of next January the time for filing claims.
 ~-~>~-~-~~~~~-~~~c-~~~ any man who had such profound con- tempt for the legislative branch of the government was unfit to be it's executive head and was dangerous man.
 He closed by quoting from American Ideals," in which MT. Roosevelt he al- legged. had denounced General Grosvenor by name as a champion of foul govern ment and dishonest politics" Then turn ing to MT. Grosvenor, he added;
 Read that and then read your recent speech defending the President, and tell the house that you feel like thirty cents"
 Replying, General Grosvenor said that it was unmportant what he had written four years ago. He (Grosvenor) four years ago was an opponent of the nomf- nation of Mr. Roosevelt At that time he wrote a popular opinion of MT. Roose- welt which was printed all over the coun- try. In this he made perfectly plain the sentiment at that time MT Grosyenor added:
 Would Not Apologize.
 And if the gentleman thinks he can make me apologize for that statement he has got hold of the wrong man.
 Mir Roosevelt had written of him (GrosvenoD what he had a right to write. Mir. Kitchin was only threshing over old straw
 T never said he was distasteful to me as candidate" said MT. Grosvenor. "Mr. Roosevelt was put on the ticket with MT. Mckinley, but it was Mr. Mckinley who got all the abuse"
 General Grosvenor said that no man on the stump ever made better impression on the country than did MT. Roosevelt in the campaign of 1900. His dignified manner of presiding over the senate and his modesty with senators was commend able. Then came the crisis in his life, the death of President Mckinley. And then 1t was said MT. Grosvenor, that the crocodile tears of the democrats began to flow The statement of Roosevelt at the bier of Mckinley that he would carry out the policies of Mckinley saved un- told money losses in this country.
 T stand here today. a friend of Me Kinley, and I say that there Is not one of McKinley's friends willing to say that they have not always been treated with kindness and consideration by Theodore Roosevelt Do you think you can read and garble newspaper extracts and dis credit Mckinley and Roosevelt? If you think so you will find when the campaign is over that you have been casting your arrows up the tree where the bird was not roosting"
 Throughout the last four years Roose- welt has developed and his utterances had been patriotic and sound.
 The house then at 6 :23 p. m. adjourned.
