Washington, August s,--(special) There are l,O0O,00O,0O0 worth of claims against the government of the United States held by citizens of the United States.
 The possessors of these claims have entrusted their business to lawyers living in the main, in Washington. The bulk of these lawyers were figures of the preceding administra- tion. Their knowledge makes them of peculiar value.
 The Congress will strengthen an old law which would preclude either of these attorneys from proceedings in hebalf of their clients against the United States.

 Standing in the midst of the na tives was our captain, trig and cana !ble in his American uniform. Djliian was his kingdom, and these people nis subjects. He ruled over them. not with an iron hand. but with some thing Tar more powerful He dis trlbuted the American flour to the district, and flour means life in the Caucasus.
 He ushered us into three rooms known as the cffice" They seemed ugly and cheerless to me, with their stark, whitewasked walls and bare floors, but later 1 realized that the captain was justly proud of them They were the only clean rooms in DiliJan. He told us apologeticalIy that we must make one of them our home.

We decided to draw lots l drew the cot, and arose the next morning mottled like the tattooed lady in circus My pal stayed on the couch for five minutes, decided it was too crowded Git had about 11,9000 other occupants), and spent the night on the table
 We ate at Cafe Amir. This was a dim, dirty little room, few feet be- low the level of the street, where the sun never penetrated. 1t held five rickety tables, six chairs and a few stools. clock that never ran and music-box that did The proprie- tress was sad-eyed Armenian wom- an and her two pretty daughters, aged l2 and fl, acted as waitresses. I ate two meals a day there for three months Dinner, served at 2:30 or 5 o'clock, consisted of meat-and- cab bage soup. roast beef or mutton or ter-buffalo. potatoes fried in nut ton tallow, black bread and tea. Twice a week, hash. done up in cab bage leaves with sour cream poured over them, was substituted for the roast. For supper, we ate warmed over roast, potatoes fried in mutton- tallow, black bread and tea. Occa- sionally, we had pckled cabbage and the dry white native cheese. Twice during the winter we had butter.
 Cafe Amir was the leading restau- rant of the two on Main street and we feasted on the best that could be bought. Our meals usually cost about dollar in American money for the three of us. With all possible ex- trayigance, I never was able to spend more than $l9 month in Dilijan.

Pomcrene States Case
 There hace been charges by dem ocrats of intense partisanship dis played by republicans. Seemingly the most arbitrary action on the part of the majority in overruling the sug- gestion of the minority that Senator Newberry be summoned to speak for himself.
 Senator Pomerene. ranking demo- cratic member. stated the case. It was his conclusion that as New berry had been charged with nciuous of lenses, and convicted by a Jury in his state, and saved only by virtue of the constitutionality of the act under which he was convieted; and as the prize in the contest was a seat in the Senate of the United States. an honor of exceeding hign tn.rit. he should willingly undergo the physical exer- tion which an appearance il person would entail.
 But the republicans thought other wise. They refusced to summon New berry for cross-e examination.
 Fiery Speeches Expected
 Though the verdict is evidently written in advance, the troubles of the senator are not at an end. and probably will not be for months to come. When the case IS carried to the floor, the democrats Will talk at length to the country. 1t is indicated that practically every democratic member will speak. There is no question but that their speeches will be straight from the shoulder and hristllng with matter generally re- garded as sensational
 The Senate has the right to pass upon it's own membership. The dem ocrats will contend that the Senate cannot afford to stamp itself as a millionaire club, with It's seats for sale to the highest bidder.
