The Bill to Pay Salaries Borrowed by Silcott Passed by the House. ‘The members of the House have received the happy tidings that the Department of Justice would not take an appeal from the decision of the Court of Claims placing the responsibility upon the government for the loss of members’ salaries through the defaleation of Sileott, The papers in ‘the case wero submitted to Secretary Windom on Friday for an opinion as to the advisubility of taking an appeal. Mr. Payson saw the Secretary this morning, and was told by him that the department was willing to let the decision of the court stand uncontested. Mr. Payson brought this good news to his fellow members and there was general rejoicing. Immediately after the naval committee got through with its bill Mr. Adams ecaled up the bill to appropriate money to pay the November pe which had been defeated in the House an upon which was pending a motion to recon- ider. Mr. Puyson then announced to the whole House what he had already told many of his colleagues. The vote was then taken on the reconsideration, hardly more than half a dozen voices being ’ raise inst it, while the yeas were a volume.

Mr. Morrill, from the committee on finance, reported back House bill to admit free of duty articles intended for the St. Louis exposition in September and October, 1890, that may be imported from the republic of Mexico, and the Senate proceeded to consider it.
