to adjudicate the claim cf the
receivers of the old State bank as to
certain lost bonds. These are what
are known as the lost Lord bonds, and
^ the matter has been before the legislature

feature of yesterday's discussion was
the vehement language of Senator

little less than an attempt at a steal.
The debate on the bill was not finished.

for three nights in succession, the sen

Passed.
SENATE.
Forty-fourth Day.?The ship subsi.Iy ;
bill was laid aside informally by the
Senate to permit consideration ofthe
appropriation bills. This aeiion \va3 '
taken late in the day on Mr. Allison's
request that the District of Columbia j ,
appropriation bill be taken up. Mr. ;
Five, in charge of the shipping bill, i
who had said he would not give way
to appropriation bills without a vote | '
of the Senate, was net in the chamber
at the time, but Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Hanna
and others interested in t^o measure
wore present and joined in the '
general assent given to Mr. Allison's
request. The shipping bill holds Its
place, and as the unfinished business 1
can be taken up when the appropra- '
tion bills are not occupying attention. 1
Forty-fifth Day?Two important J
measures were disposed of by the Sen- j
ate. the Military Academy appropria- ,
tion bill and the war revenue reduction
measure. The former was under
consideration ies? than an hour. The ,
only change in it was the strengthen- ^
ing of the provision against hazing at
West Point.
Dniring the remainder of the afternoon
session the war revenue reduction
bill was before the Senate. A de- J
terminer* but unsuccessful effort was 1
marie to reduce the tax on bank checks \
and to provide that telegraph and ex- j
press companies should bear the burden
of the tax on message and pack- j
ages sent. The finance committee's J
amendment, levying a tax an transac- ,
tions in so-called "bucket shops."
modifying the tax upon cigars and cigarettes.
and providing for a rebate on ,
unbroken packages of tobacco, in addition
to several others of a minor
character, were adopted. An amendment
substituting an income tax for
the war revenue measure offerad by '
Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, was rejected '
by 3. party vote, 21 to 38.
At the night session a partisan dis- ,
oussion of tho shipping bill was precipitated.
in which a number of Senators
participated.
Forty-Sixth Day?The Sen_te passed
the Distiei of Columbia appropriation
bill, and partially considered the bill 1
making appropriations for the support '
of the West Point Mu..cary Academy, i
i TK/%. rkin KJ1I nroo fArmollv IjHlf
aside and sirperseded as the unfinished
business.
Forty-seventh Day?The Senate
had both day and night sessions. The <
pension appropriation bill, appro- ^
priating $145,000,000. was passed after .
a few minutes' consideration. The ship J
subsidy bill wag then taken up and *
Mt. McLaurin announced his intention <
to support the bill and Mr. Morgan op- t
posed it. in vigorous language. Mr. Mc- j
I.aurin, of South Carolina, presented 1
the certificate of re-election of Hon. B. ,
R. Tillman as a United States Senator, j
Forty-eighth ' Day?An ineffectual ?
effort was made in the Senate to secure ,
an agreement upon a time for a final
vote upon the shipping bill. Vigorous
pretests were made by opponents of
the measure against any such agree- ,
mnt, even for a date in the indefinite
fut.ure. Mr. Pritchard, of North Carolina,
spoke tc-day in support of the i
shipping bill and then the naval at)-, c
prcpriatfon bill was considered the I '
rest cf the day. the shipping bill being
laid aside informally. The naval bill "
had not been acted on when the Sen. :
ate adjourned. 1
?
HOUSE. I
Forty-Fourth Day?The House passed t
the Senate bill to create a commission
to adjudicate the claim ofUnlted States
citizens against Spain, which the government
of the United States assumed
by the treaty of Paris, after having 1
amended the bill so as to refer the s
claims to the Court of Claims. This ac- i
tion conforms to the action of the .
House at the last session, when the ,
bill was recommitted with instructions j
to report back such an amendment as .
was adopted. J
Forty-fifth Day?Debate on the post- ,
onnrrnrlq rtnn hi!l consumed !
ui'"-" -x
another day in the House. Chairman c
Loud, cf the postoffice committee, who k
was a member of the postal commissidn,
disru.-std the subjects investigated
by it. The remainder of the time
was occupied in debate upon tiio throe
subjects?pneumatic tube service,
special mail facilities and railway ?
mail pay. r
Forty-Sixth Day?'The day in the <
House was devoted to the cor.tinuat.on 1
cif the discussion of controverted qites- (
tions in connection with the postal t
service. Mr. Criers, of Georgia, spoke j
against the organization of postal em- '
ploycs for forcing legisation. Mr.
Moody, of Massachusetts, discussed the question
of railroad mail pay from the ?
standpoint of a member cf the joint '
postal commission. Mr. Bromwell, cf
Ohio, aseailed the appropriations for
special mail facilities from New Ycri.
to New Orleans, declaring that tie
Postmaster General repeatedly had said '
that he did not desire the appropria- j
tions, and only had used them because j
Congress made them. Mr. Catchings, \
of Mississippi, and Mr. Meyer, of Iyouisiana,
defended these appropriations t
as nece 6ary for the expenitlon of the (
soumem mmi. ivn. vxaiuc^, vi |
see, also opposed this appropriation. ,
Forty-seventh Day.?The post- t
office appropriation bill, debate which ,
has consumed almost an entire week ,
in the house, was finally passed. The ?
debate hovered about three topics,
railway mall pay, pneumatic tube service
and special fast mall ficilitips, 1
but it bore no fruit The amendment
to reduce the rate of railway mail pay '
was ruled out on a point of OTder, tl<3
t
f * - ;
lmencfmeat to continue the pneumatic
tube service in New York, Beaton, and
Philadelphia was abandoned with the
purpose o<{ making the tight in the
Senate and the motion to strike out
the appropriations for special mail
facilities were defeated.
Forty-eighth Day.-^ThLs was probably
the last day to be devoted to private
pension legislation by the House
of Representatives in this Congress.
The high water mark, made In the
Fifty-first Congress, wr * almost reach- *
ed today, when 184 bills were passed
against 197 pessed at a single session , ^
in the former Congress. In all. the
house at this Congress has passed
about 900 bills, a number considerably
exceeded in the Fifty-first.
A ceneral nensiom bill was nass.ed to
restore to the pension rolls widows of
?oId-:rs of the civil war who subsequently
married and became widows,
ar divorced. By the tsrms of the bill,
however, its benefits are limited to
widows of soldiers who were married
before the close of the civil war and
who are now dependent upon their
3wn labor for support.
A bill was passed to establish a
light house and fog signals at No. 1
