Mr. Cullom gave notice that he would, on Mon- ay next, ask the Senate to consider the bill to ainend the interstate commerce act. PRNSION BILLS VETOED. A message from the President vetoing a Dill granting a pension to Mary Anue Doherty was Presented and read, It states that a large share of the report of the Senate committee on pensions {adopted also by the House committee) consists of ‘the peution in which the woman says that her husband (wno had served in a New Jersey regi. ment) left her tn 1865 and has not been heard of since. "She had received a pension as the widow of Daniel Doherty until it was discovered that he Was alive and tlving in Philadelphia, and was Diusell drawing “a pension there, She had succeeded in getting the penston tn the first iustance by much false swearing. The police records of Washington (where she has Deen living) showed her to be a woman of very bad charcter, and that she had been under arrest nine times for drunkenness, larceny, creating disturbances, and other misdemeanors,’ ‘The theory seemed to be established (the President says) that no man who served in tbe army could be the subject of death, or of impaired health,except as the resultot Army service, medical theories being set at naught. Even sulclde Was traced by devious and wonder- Tully curious Ways to service in the Army, and the adjudications of the Pension Bureau were over- Fuled tn the most peremptory fashion by spectal Acts of Cougress. ‘The President would yield to no man, he says, in a desire to see those who had defended the Government liberally ueated, The jendiiness to ube veteran soldiers was a easily and sometimes dishonestly made. ‘The true soldier Was a ood citizen and would be salistied with generous, fair and equal Ureatment. ‘The pension list of the Tepubitc should be a roll of honor, not a matter of indiscriminate alins-giving. He Had atvempted to stem the Ude of improvideut pension enactinents; Dut he still felt a share of responsibility in letting toomany of them become laws. ‘The bill and mes ‘Sage were referred to the committee on pensions, ag were two other pension vetoes—one on the ground that death had no connection with service in the Army, aud the other on the ground that the Tecords did Hot show that the soldier in question (said to have been an officer Killed in the Custer Inassacre), Was in that expedition, THE AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The conference report on the agricultural appro- priation bill was presented and explained in detail by Mr. Plumb, ‘On one point the committee had been unable to agree, that was the item inserted by the Senate, making an appropriation of $100,000 tor continu: ing the experiments in the manufacture ot sugar from sorghum. If bis (Mr, Plumb’s) beltef, that item was worth as much, he was going td say, as all the remaining porudns of the bill. Perhay that statement would be too strong, but he would say that the work, heretofore carried on in that direction (although extravagentiy, improvidently, und With Somewhat unnecessary delay) had been of the greatest possible value, Very great progress had been made; so great, in fact, thut there were to-day erected’ and in” process of erection in Kansas founlarge sugar factories, having an aggre- kate capacity of 3,000,000 pounds. and it was con- idently believed’ that the result of that work would’ still further develop the fact that the United States could, in a very short period of time, supply all the sugar that its people consume, from ‘that very common and very Valuable plant (valu- able in other directions). yhe conference report was concurred in, and a further conference Was asked on tue sorghui item, ‘Mr, Cail offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Secretary of the Interior for infor: mation as to improper and unlawful selections of swamp and overtiowed langs, THE P. 0.

THE LAND GRANT FORFEITURE BILL. ‘Mr. Holman (Ind.) called up the Senate lana grant forfeiture bill, with amendments made by the House comunittee. As amended by the House committee the bill, which, agit came from the Senate, proposed wo forfeit grants applying to lands lying opposite Portions 01 the alded roads not now completed, de- clares a forfeiture of the lands lying opposite those Portions of the roads not completed at the time specified In the granting acts. ‘After the substitute had been read various amendments were offered. ‘Mr. Holman explained the nature of the propo- sition before the House coming trom the com. mittee, and pointed out the diiference in effect between it and the Senate bill, He said that the Senate bill would declare the forfeiture of 5,627,436 acres, while the pendi Dill would Work the forfeiture of 54,323) acres subject to bona fide sale to settlers, ‘AS he was arguing that the rallroads had no right to sell lands along the uncompleted portions or their lines, Mr. Payson interrupted him to ask if he did not Know that the Supreme Court had laid down the precisely upposite doctrine, ‘Mr. Holman declined to ve inverrupted, and con- Upued bis explanation of tne features of the bill, Capitol Toptes. ‘TIRRD OF TARIFF TALK.

It is Only for This Day, However, as Members are Eager to Have Done With It, ‘There was a very small attendance in the House to-day. The tariff bill was laid aside for the day, and the time was taken up by a bill for the relief Of the state of Florida, reported by the war-claims committee, and by the land-grant forfeiture Dill, called up by Mr. Holman, ‘There was a report that the tariff Dill would be laid aside for several days, but members of the committee state that no such proposition has been considered, It 1s not at all likely that any delay of this sort will be caused. Members are getting Testive, and will not tolerave any greater delay than 1s absolutely necessary, As a rule, their political fences need looking after, and their feeling of anxiety 1s increased in many cases by letters from home telling them that their presence 1s needed. The fact that they must be in the House when the tariff vote 1s taken or run the, risk of being politically damned 1s the only thing’ that can keep them in Washington under the ctr- cumstances, and the proposition to lay aside the tariff 1n the interest of any other measures meets a rotty general protest, They are obliged to Stay for the tariff, but are not willing to remain for any other measure. ‘There 18 an informal agreement between the two parties that there 1s to be no unnecessary delay in the consideration of the tariff bill, and an early vote 13 confidently expected. It 1s very generally conceded that, the democrats can pass the bill as itis when a vote i reached, and {t 1s expected thatin the future the opposition will content themselves with merely formal protests against features they consider objectionable, It 4s not thought likely that Congress can adjourn before the last week in August. After the tariff question has passed over to the Senate, however, meinbers Of the lower House will not feel it incum- bent upon them to maintain a quorum and a great many will go home to enter upon a very act- ve canvass, ‘The democrats from all the close states and districts are getting letters urging them {o get home as soon as posstule, and stating that the active feld campaign should not be made much shorter than sixty days. On the Paeitic slope par- Ucularly the democrats think it to their inverest Wo enter the campaign as early us possible. Col. Ne ? Arrest.
