Ordinance Placed
Ban on Big Battle

Capt Antoine Bruhn, who commanded
a company of Illinois volunteers during
the civil war, told the other day a new
story Of the battle of Gettysburg, which
has been left out of the histories.
MY company was stationed on Gene
terry Hill along with the rest of the
Eighty-second, under command of Gen.
Edward S. Solomon" said Captain
Bruhn. 1T was a pretty hot fight, as
you may know, and the bullets were
flying rather thick. General Solomon
had been given orders for the movement
of the Eighty-second by Gen. o. o.
Howard.
THE latter rode up to General Salo-
mon, who was sitting on his horse.
calmly smoking cigar. He observed
that General Solomon seemed to be ex-
traordinarily cool in the face of the ter
rife cannonading that was going on.
Genera Solomon replied that somebody
had to be cool at that time. AS General
Howard started away, General Solomon
remarked:
You've got yourself into a pretty
fix, General Howard The latter drew
himself up with a show of Indignation.
when General Solomon proceeded.

OPPOSE RAISE FOR
PRESIDENTS CLERK
Debate In. House Shows
Much Hostility to Pro-
posed Increase.
By vote of 81 to 1870 the House this
afternoon refused an increase of $4,000
per year to the secretary to the Presi-
dent.

Meeting an hour earlier today, the
House began wrangling over the legis-
lative, executive, and judicial appro-
priation bill and the Senate amendment
increasing a number of salaries. The
Senates action in raising the salary
of the Secretary to the President from
Sc, 600 to $4,000 caused a long debate in
the House. A number of Democratic
embers insisted that the present sal
airy Is adequate and that the House
should stand firm upon this item.
There are nearly a score of Senate
amendments upon which the confrees
have been unable to agree.
So much time was consumed today in
d1scuSSlHg one amendment that Repre-
sentative Mann served notice that the
House soon must begin to convene at
10 o'clock in the morning and sit far
into the night.
The House, after talking for an hour,
upon this one subject, tnally agreed
today with the Senate not to abolish
sioner of pensions. The Senate restored
this item to the bill, after the House
had cut 1t out.
The House declined to agree to the
Senate amendment of the bin increasing
the salaries of the House stenoSrapher
from 5000 to $500 a year. Several
members criticised the Senate's action
in attempting TO increase salaries OF
House employees and the ConfereeS
were once more instructed TO insist upon
the lower salary.
The House next proceeded to consider
one more stumbling block-the salary
of the Secretary to the President. Mr..
Gillette, for the conferees, declared that
a salary of at least SO, 900 should go with
such a dignified position. He said that
the secretaries of the President in late
years had become a confidential adviser
to the Executive and must be man of
the highest ability and sagacity.
Then you want to pay $500 for added
dignity. do your asked Representative
Clayton of Alabama. Mr.. Clayton added
that he did not think the Secretary to
the President possessed any more dig
nifty than circuit judge, a Senator or
Representative, who receive salaries
around $1,000
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that the Presi-
dents secretary was about on the plane
with the assistant secretaries of the
Treasury. and the assistant secretaries
of State, who only receive 5000, and
that the capacity required is no greater
than that required of the Comptroller
of the Currency, who gets only $1,000
The debate indicates that there is
considerable sentiment in the House
against raising this salary, and many
members disagree with Mr.. Gillett's
view that oluder, more dignified and
more experienced men can be obtained
and retained at the higher figure.
