STATESMEN MAKE
HEAVY SACRIFICE
House Denies Itself Double
Mileage-Chalrman 7 Tawney
Deciding a Nice Point.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. S0.-The
house today voted unanimously to
strike from the urgent deficiency bill
the provisions for the second payment
of mileage to the senators and repre-
sentatives of this congress and then
passed the urgent deficiency appro
priation bill. This action was the cli-
max to an exciting discussion Of the
mileage problem begun yesterday,
first on the point of order raised
against the provision by Mr.. Maddox
(Ga.), and then on motion to strike
out made today by Mr.. Underwood
.{Ala.).
Argument on the point of order that
the item was not authorized by law
turned on the question whether this

Claims of seaIers Are Unpaid.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30.-The
senate committee on foreign relations
today heard presentation by Don M.
Dickinson of the claims Of the Ameri-
can citizens owing to damages sus-
tanned by the seizure of vessels en-
gagged in sealing in Alaskan waters
prior to the award by the joint COM
mission of 1893. Mr.. Dickinson helped
prepare the case Of the United States
before the commission and thus be-
came familiar with the origin of the
present claims. He called attention to
the fact that while under the Paris
award British claimants had been paid,
no return had been made to American
sealers who had suffered loss. He es-
timated the aggregate amount Of the
claims to be about 100000.

CARTRIDGES ARE
TESTED AS TO FIRE
Contention Of Ammunition Dealers /:
Only Half Sustained.


CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Half million
cartridges were exploded on the lake
front today by dealers in ammunition
to prove to the fire department that
cartridges were not dangerous during
a fire in asbuilding in which they are
stored.
Beyond flinflinfl the metallic shells
about a hundred feet from the fire, the
cartridges gave no evidence Of de-
structive power. The cartridges were
in boxes. These were piled and set on
fire.
After the test the fire marshals who
witnessed it said there appeared to be
no danger, but all of them were of the
opinion that no fireman would enter a
place where such threatening noises
prevailed.

Mr.. Grosvenor said he provided a
| way by which any member who does
not feel that he can accept the money
may place it back in the treasury. Let
every man vote, he said, as in his
| judgment he should; then face the is
sue and do not dodge 1t.
Didn't Miss His Chance.
Mr.. Grosvenor cited the case of a
| member of congress who had loudly
| declared that he would not accept an
| increase of salary provided by the So
| called salary grab" but, said Mr..
| Grosvenor, he learned while visiting
the treasury fifteen years later that the
! former member had commenced to
check against 1t.
Mr.. Maddox said he should vote
against taking mileage. He declared
that congress was in duty bound to set
ment departments.
Mr.. Gillett (Mass.) proposed an
amendment providing that no senator
or representative shall receive mileage
for a session of congress convening
within three days after the adjourn
| ment of the preceding session.
Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) opposed the
mileage measure.
Mr.. Olmsted (Pa.) offered an aemnd-
ment as follows:
Provided that no part of this ap-
preparation shall be paid to any mem
Der Of either branch of congress who
shall not certify that he, In point of
| fact, did go to and return from his
home between the first and second ses-
sions of the Fifty eighth congress-"
The amendment was received with
both laughter and applause.
| Mr.. McDermott IN. J.)-I ask the
gentlemen to add, "and that he paid his
fare in going to and. coming from his
, home"
This amendment was lost, but the
amendment previously offered by
Grosvenor making it optional with
members to take their mileage was
agreed to.
Mr.. Gilletts amendment was lost.
! AT this point a vote was taken on
Mr.. Underwoods motion to strike out
| the mileage paragraph. On a viva
voce vote the chair declared the
amendment lost, but tellers were de-
manded.
Rush for the TeIIers.
Immediately both Republican and
Democratic members arose and all
started for the tellers. The scene pro-
voked laughter and applause and as
! the crowd in front Of the speakers
desk grew denser there were demands
to "call off the tellers and make it
! unanimous" When all had passed and
been counted in favor of striking out
the mileage, those opposed were asked
to vote, but not a single member re-
| sponded. There was more laughter and
applause, and the chair announced that
1877 votes had been cast in the aff1rma-
tive and none in the negative.
The paragraph providing for the
placing of allottees of the Five Civilized
Tribes in possession of their allot-
ments was amended so as not to pro-
vide for the removal of intruders. The
bill as amended then was passed with
out division.
