It is Given Up Largely to the Penn- sylvania Railroad. a MR. ATKINSON AND HIS BILL. A Debate in Which a Good Many Questions Were Asked. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE SENATE, Among the petitions presented and referred Was one from Nelson, Neb., praying (sarcasti- cally) that all ex-soldiers over one hundred years old shall have pensions of €2 4 month, PROPOSED ELECTION OF POSTMASTERS. Mr. Hoar introduced a joint resolution pro- posing @ constitutional amendment for the election of postmasters. Keferred to the com- mittee on privileges and elections, SHIPPING CATTLE TO CUBA, Mr. Call offered a resolution (which was re- ferred to the committee on foreign relations) re- questing the President to institute negotiations with the government of Spain for such modifi- cations of the treaty with that government as will euable American cattle to be shipped from Florida and elsewhere in the United States, relieved from the present oppressive rates of duty. and on such terms as may be reciprocal between Cuba and the United > tates, ‘The Senate silver bill was taken up and Mr. Cockrell addressed the Senate. HOUSE, On motion of Mr. Comstock (Minn.) the title of the silver bill passed Saturday was ameuded 80 as to read as follow Jirecting the pur- chase of silver bullion and the issue of treasury notes thereon and for other purposes.” AFTER THE CUNARD STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Mr. Lodge (Mass, ) offered the following res- olution: That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to inform this House whether it is true that the Cunard Steamship Company on Saturday last refused to obey the orders of the officers of the United States to give return pas- sage to certain immigrants landed at New York | ) by said company in violation of the contract labor laws of the United States, and if so what steps, if any, have been taken to re- fuse entry to the steamships of said company until said company has complied with the laws of the United States and made due reparation for their refusal to obey the orders of the of- | ficers thereof, The resolution was referred to the committee on foreign affairs, DISTRICT DAY. The floor was then accorded to the committee on the District of Columbia, District day opened with every prospect of a hard struggle over the railroad question. Mr, Grout was in his seat once more and called for the regular order almost as soon as the minutes had been read, and called up the bill incorporating the King Theo- logical Hall, which, 4s printed in Tue Srak, is to provide for fitting colored stu- dents to become ministers in the Episcopal church. The ouly amendment proposed by the committee inserted the word “colored” be- fore the word “student,” making it certain that the hall was solely for the use of colored students, IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, Before considering the bill it was necessary to go into committee of the whole, which, on motion of Mr. Atkinson, was done, Mr. Dunnell being called to the chair. ‘The bill was read, Mr. Atkinson said bill had beén intro- duced at the request of the Protestant Epis- copal church, there being a difficulty in obtain- ing colored ministers todo missionary work among their own race, Mr. Kerr asked if there was no general law which covered such a case, Mr, Atkinson re- plied that there was not, and in reply to an- other question said the government put them- selves under no obligations. ‘The bill was then laid aside to be favorably*reported to the House, OTHER BILLS CALLED UP. Mr. Grout then called up the bill for the re- lief of Thomas J, Parker, refunding $40 which had been paid for improvements that had never been made, ‘The bill was then laid aside with a favorable report. “For the rehef of Esther A. Keyser” was the title of the next bill brought to the attention of the House. This bill refunds to Esther A. Keyser asum not exceeding $2,036.61, which shé had pad to the District for lot 3, square 873, the District having failed to furnish a valid title. The bill was laid aside with a fi vorable report, THREE MEASURES PASSED. The committee then on motion of Mr. Grout arose and the House passed the three bills which had been favorably reported. POWER TO LAY WATER MAINS, Mr. Grout called up the bill giving the Com- missioners power to lay water mains and erect fire plugs wherever they may think it neces- sary. The bill wat passed, THE ATKINSON BILL. Mr. Grout then called up the famous Atkin- son Baltimore and Potomac railroad bill. The bill was read. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL. The first sectionof the bill known as the Atkinson Dill provides that the turnouts and sidings from the Baltimore and Potomac tracks between the Anacostia or Eastern Branch and the Long Bridge into the several squares of ground shail be as follows: 737, 739, 695, square northwest of square 695, square west of 695, square north of 697, square cast of 642, square north of 642. sqnares 642, 536, 493, square south of 463, squares 463, 464, 386, 267 and square south of 267, and the use and maintenance of its shops. stations and other structures now erected on these squares are hereby legalized and confirmed. Section 2 makes it the duty of the Com- missioners, whenever they consider it a public benefit, to grant to the Baltimore and Potomac Company permi: and use side tracks and sidings from the main line into any real es- tate in the city which abuts on the line of the road, such sidings to be laid and maintained under the direction of the Commissioners, tion 3 gives the railroad authority to acqufre for the purposes of its business any of the squares of ground south of the line of the road and north of L street and north of the Eastern Branch and east of 13th street soath- east and also any squares abutting on the line on Maryland and Virginia avennes, and to maintain and use tracks into such squares aud to cross such streets as may be necessary for that purpose and to construct thereon such facilities as may be necessary. When neces- sary the power of condemnation over such ground is given the company. The committee amendments, which are merely formal, were read. SOME POINTS RAISED. At the close of the reading Mr. Kerr (lowa) made the point of order that the bill should be considered in the committee of the whole, as it made capa a franchise now only granted temporarily, Mr. Hendasiot: (Kan.) made the further point that the bill made a grant of United States uty. Prair. ‘Atkinson contended that the bill did did not grant any land. - Blount wanted to know in titles of this land does rest. Mr. Atkinson said the te parties, Me Blount referred to the words in the bi “and the use and maintenance of its shops an stations now erected thereon is hereby ized and confirmed,” and said this land never been given or sold to the any manner whatever. . Blount then asked how the railroad got on this land being used for freight facilities, Mr. Atkinson said by purchase absolu: Mr, Blount asked very sharply why then did the company want their title confirmed. whom the aused for a moment and then replied that he did not think the bill was meant to confirm any titles. Mr. Atkinson then argued against the point of order, MR, LODGE WANTS TO RECOMMIT. Mr. Lodge said he did not think a MAll as im- Portant as this in every way should be con- sidered without the House being provided with Mr. Atkinson large maps, 80 as to be able to fully understand just’ = whyre this road wanted to ga and he asked when it would be in order to move to +N .” was the Speaker's reply, and Mr. Lodge bided his time. Mr. Springer argued in favor of the point of order. Tho Speaker then ruled that the point was well taken and that the bill must be considered in committee of the whole. Mr. Athin- son then moved that the House re- solve itself into committes of the whole for consideration of the bill. Mr. Lind de- manded the ayes and noes,which were ordered. This was the first gun in the battle. The vote, however, had little significance as bearing on the final result, as Mr. Aemphill and a number ‘of other sopponents of the bill voted in favor of Aiaties are 9 The vote was: Ayes, 101; noes. 68, The House therefore resolved itself into committee of the whole and Mr. Dunnell was called to the chair, IX COMMITTEY, OF THE WHOLE. The bill was read again, although Mr. Atkin- son asked unanimous consent to dispense with the readm During the reading of the bill Mr. Atkinson spread a iarge and — decidedly blue looking map on his desk which he proceeded to explain to some half dozen members. The committee j amendments were agreed to and Mr. Atkinson | took the floor to explain, as he said. the bill MR. ATKINSON'S EXPLANATION. . It was, he said, to authorize certain sidi! and legalize certain others, The Peunsylva- nia road came in the city in 1872and purchased ground for freight depots, & The ground | being the squares mentioned in the bill. There is nothing in the bill which has any relation to the passenger station or the passenger trafiic. Mr. Blount, estion, tried to show that the freight business was the only matter under | | cansideration, ne bill was not only in the interests of the railroad,” continued Mr Atkinson, it related solely to additional freight facilities and the merchants along th line were to be benefitted.” He had on his desk, he said, 4 petition signed by wi business men of the city asking the passage of the bill, The railroad had thought they had power to lay these sid- ings by permissiog of the Commissioners, aud & number of such permits were issued the Comnnissioners. Mr. Atkinson sent to the desk and had read on of there permits signed by Capt. ‘ as assistint cngineer comunissioner. ‘on then continued, “This right to lay sidings was now denied and indictments bad been brought against the | Failroad and the Commissioners for these sid- ings. and if these sidings should be Een to | 8 conviction we should see a railroad which is | powerless to perform the duties which the, i his was the reason bill, to save not only the freight traftic of this city, but also the perishable southern freight which passes through to the north. Itis indispensable to the railroad that these facilities should be granted.” Mr. Atkinson read from the Commissioner's report for 1889 in support of his argument for additional freight facilities. Mr. Atkinson. in answer to a question, said the bill had not the slightest bearing on the passenger station or the mall. MR, MILLIKEN’S QUESTION.

THE COURT MAKING AWARDs. A Nervous Day For Many People Around | the Court of Claims. THE LONG PENDING STERLING CUSTOM CLAIM DE- CIDED AGAINST THE CLAIMANTS —MR. SMITH- MEYER GETS NEARLY FIFTY THOUSAND DoL~ LARS OTHER CLAIMS PASSED ON TODAY. Tho Court of Claims was crowded this morn- ing when the judges entered with their arme full of large bundies of papers. It was practically the last of the term, and anxious claimants with their equally anxious attorneys were on hand to hear the decisions that th waiting for with patience for Judge Schofield was the only absente the bench, NOTHING FOR THE CUNARD COMPANY. Judge John Davis yead the first decision dismissing the petition of the Cunard steam- ship Company for drawback on customs duties paid om several cargoes of bituminous coal shipped into this country from England for use on its steamers as fuel, and stored in bonded | warehouses in Boston. The coal was afterward reshipped out of the country. but between the periods of shipment an act was passed by Con- gress limiting the payment of drawbacks to American vessels only. The court held that Mmporters must take risks on tie change of the laws of customs duriug their shipments, and that the limiting amendment barred the claim. THESE CATTLE DON'T covyT.

The cl heirs of the decedent, of this city, one of them, the adn the estate, Miss June Austin, being € m the State Department, She with her attorney, Mr. Johu Fay. w: at court this morning. Judge Weldon charac: terized this case as a most extraordinrry and Important one, more than 2.000 printed pages of record having been the result of its hearings and over 150 witnesses having been examine l. The record disclosed a wonderfully sharp con- flict of testimony throughout, STORY OF THE CLAIM. The cotton was seized Texas, and, the claimants alleged, amounted to 1,950 bales. The entire case rested on the loyalty of Sterling T. Austin, and whether, it he war disloyal, the general anmesty of 1868 had removed his disabilities and made him loyal in fact, The court, on the latter point, decided in the negative. At the outbrenk of the war Austin lived in Georgia, and. although a believer in the Union, was compelled by force of circumstances and the presence of popular opinion around him to exhibit a paxsive acquiescence in the rebellion, He afterward moved to Louisiana, and there engaged in tho cotton business, was accepted by the citizens as a supporter of the confed- eracy and attended anti-emancipation meet- ings. His ultimate pathy with the south was undoubted, and when the prociamation of emancipation was issued he made every effort to retain his slaves. Upon the arrival of the Union army in the vicinity of his plantation he fled with his family and aban- doned all of his property. At one time he re- sided in Shreveport, La., recognized as the headquarters of the southern forces at that time, and during that period often ordered his slaves to labor in aid of the con- federate authorities in the construction of gun boats. Secton 1074, R.S., dec that the voluntary residence of a person im a disloyal locality 1s prima facie evidence of dis- loyalty. The court therefore concluded that it had not been shown to its satisfaction that Sterling T. Austin had been loyal to the United States. “But, in view of the voluminous evi- dence taken, it thought it well to give a supplementary opinion as to the value of the property taken from the decedent. Ou this point the testimony was al- most inextricably conflicting. It lad con- cluded, ufter long investigation and computa- tion, that the claimant would be entitled to the full amount alleged, 259,287, if it were not for the bars. This case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. e were ASE. some powder, Secondly, that knowing these things to have been taken he failedto report the same to the commanding officer of the post, and thirdly, that when ordered to make a return of the property in his possession in the magazine at or before 2 o'clock of a certain day he disobeyed said order and absented him- self from the post without leave for the period of five days, ONE MEMBER OF THE COURT DISQUALIFIE! As soon as the court convened Sergeant Clishiam entered with his counsel, Mr. E. B. Hay, and at once objected to the make-up of the court. They began with the first name on the detail, that of Capt. Smith, on the ground that he had formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. The court was then cleared and when Capt. Smith stated that he had expressed an opinion the objection was necessarily sustained. ‘This left the court without a quorum and it adjourned atonce. A report of the proceedings will have to be sent to Governor's Isiand and the trial delayed until some other man is ap- pointed to the vacancy or an entire new court detailed, Itis not likely now that the trial can be proceeded with before next Monday. GEN. RAUM’S DENIAL, He Says the Reports in Mr. Cooper’s Resolution Are Untrue. Gen, Raum, the commissioner of pensions, denies the truths of the various reports which the resolution of Representative Cooper of Indiana introduced in the House on Saturday, as stated in Tne Stan, and referred to the committce on rules. He says that there has not been a dollar of the stock of the Refrig- erator company sold to any one in the Pension Office, or any one connected with the Pension Office, or any one connected with the prosecu- tion of claims before the Pension ice. As faras he knows he says that there has not been any favoritism shown to any individual claim- antor any attorney prosecuting claims before the office, ‘There is uo foundation whatever for the statement that by a recent and tial ruling any cases have been advanced and taken up out of their order.” —o— THE “ZOO” APPRAISEMENT, Awards by the Land Commission Ke- Ported to Court.

Judge Nott read the court's judgment in the claim of Hughes against the United States. The claimant was the contractor engaged in plastering the walls of the new Pension Office and the case was to determine the amount of payment, Judgment was in favor of piantiff in the sum of #1,926, A JUDGMENT FOR MR, SMITHMEYER, Judge Nott then delivered the opinion of the court in the celebrated Smithmeyer case, rendering judgment for the plaintiffs for #48,000. This case was for compensation for services of the plaintiffs, Smithmeyer and Pelz of this city, as architects of the Congressional Library Building. In 1873 they sub- mitted plans for that structure to the joint commission, which were accepted and for which they were paid $1,500. For se eral years they were engaged in the prepara- tion of details and the examination of almost innumerable other plans that were submitted, bat received no compensation. Smithmyer during this period made a trip to En- rope aud studied various libraries and afterward made a re} to the commission. In 1886 he was appointed arc! tect of the building at an annual salary of €5,000, and Pelz. his partner, was made chief draftsman at $3,000 a year. Smithmyer held this position for two years, and Pelz is still in the service. The court weut upon the theory that the claimants were en- titled to recompense for the service rendered during the period when the commission was examining plans, but the question was on th: basis of the recovery. The plaintiffs alleged a right to recover on the total cost of the buila- ing as finally plauned. which it is estimated will be about $7,000,000. This would give them $175,000 as their fees as architects, using the orcimary rule of 235 per cent. Judge Nott indicated by bis remarks that he believed that the claimants should recover ina liberal measure, but that upon a vote being taken he had been overruled by u majority of the court. Me said that it was his opinion that the claimants’ fee should be cal- culated y the basis of their original esti- mate ‘of. the cost of the building, or #5,580,000, which would give them about $135,000, The court decided, however, that inasmuch as the plaintiffs had finally accepted salaries in licu of their regular fees at architects’ rates their compensation should be in the same measure as that compensation, and, counting the peri: od of six years when they worked without rec- | mse at the rate of £8,000 a year, the ag- pastes of their joint salaries, judgment ea ren for €48,000. The case will be appeaied to the Supreme Court, TAREE THOUSAND FOR MR. TRUESDELL's WELL, Judgment was rendered in favor of Geo. e residents | in Louisiana and | A NARROW ESCAPE.
