It was agreed pon by the House virtuauly as reported from committee, with the exception of the change made in the offices of recorder of deeds and register of wills. ‘The committee successfully fonght all efforts ‘te increase appropriations. After Tux Sr/ report closed yesterday an interesting debate proceeded upon the bill. Probably the most important feature of the subsoqueat proceedings was the attempt made by Mr. De Armond of Missouri to pass a mo- tion to recommit the bill to the committee, with instructions to report itwith an amen ment providing that the United States treas- ury should pay only one-fourth of the sum car- ried by the bill, while the remaining thr fourths should be paid from the District re’ enues. Of course the motion was defeated, but Mr. De Armond developed 38 votes for it, among them being Mr. Hi n, Mr. Blount aud Mr. TEE STATCS OF THE DIETRICT. While discussion was pending upon a point of order made against Mr. De Armond’s smend- ment Mr. Reed of Maine took occasion to deliver some remarks upon the position of the District to the general government. He said: “The | District of Columbia is unquestionably = fod- eral possession. It is under the control of the federalCongress. Itsexpendituresare metout of the federal treasury, no matter where the funds | originate. The federation could expend that money in any way it saw fit, just as it can ex- the money which comes from customs revenues. Consequently there can be no dif- ference whatever in the nature of these funds in the treasury. They are federal funds and ‘they come out of the federal treasury, no mat- ter how they are raised, whether by customs duties or by local taxation upon the District of Columbia. Hence this proposition does not in any wry retrench expenditures. It only changes the origin or source of the money which is to be expended, but all the money, from whatever source derived, comesout of the federal treasury. At is all money in the federal treasury, brought there by federal law for federal purposes. The Congress of the United States makes this ap- riation acting as the legislative body of the confederation, the Union, which owns the Dis- trict of Columbia, and this District is the only property, excepts few pieces in the several States, which the United States does own. The Union took of the District of Colum- bia for the purpose of having property of its own, where it could have its scat of govern- ment free from the control or jurisdiction of the states or of any one else. We govern this this city and this District without any refer- ence to the wishes or will of the inbab- ftants. We do that only because it is federal Property. and what we take out of the citizens of t by taxation we take by federal authority and we put it into the federal treas- tury. Consequently whatever money is ex- here under this bill is eapended out of ‘the federal treasury and ix neither lessened nor inereased by this proposition, but the source from which this money comes is somewhat ‘The Speaker ruled against the point of order and the vote was taken 73 THAT HOLE IN THE GROUXD. Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey moved to strike out that section of the bill which provides for the repayment to the United States from the surplus of the District revenues the amount advanced for construction of the Washington “ar Bae . Buchanan said: Mr. Chairman, I move to strike out the section for this reason: In 1882 Congress passed an act providing for the extension of the water supply of the District of Columbia. In pursuance of that set an army officer was detailed xs chief engineer of the work of construction. Un- der his guidance and direction contracts were let, and an aqueduct—no, I can not call it an aqueduct—a hole in the ground was bored for some two or three miles under the hills in the northwestern part of the city. ‘This excavation was alleged to be lined by cer tain contractors, but it was discovered that through the inattention and erminal neglect the government officials in charge work was done in such a faulty way it has never been ‘one cent District or ment. This officer referred was appointed gene whom I hav this duty by the United States government thout the residents of the District having any voice in the matter. Thesupervision—if I may #0 term it—of the work was carried on by him and his subordinates without any opportunity whatever for any residents of the District to €serciso any influence in the matter. The tests Of that work shows that it was utterly uscless. A court-martial for the trial of this officer fol- Asked for Their Purchase. STRONG ARGUMENT PRESENTED BY THE FEDERA- ‘TION OF LABOR, BUT WHICH WAS PRESENTED TOO ‘LATE TO HAVE ANY EFFECT UPON THE ACTION OF THR DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IX THE HOUSE. ‘Yesterday, but too late to have any apparent effect on the action of the House of Representa~ tives, the Federation of Labor protested against the action of the committee on appro- priations on the subject of free text books. The protest shows that the school board rec- ommended ap appropriation of €84.822.99 for frqg text books, the District Commissioners cut that to $35,000 and the committee sawed it off at $12,000 and provided that that sum should be applied to the first four grades only. AMOUNT To BE SAVED. “These books must be bought,” says the federation. “They will cost the pupils, xt retail rates, $30,000, and mast all be purchased each year, because a book carries a pupil through a year (or grade) and cannot be used in the next grade into which he passes; hence, in three years, the books of the fifth and sixth grades will cost the pupils 990,000. These books, if public property, will last three years, and can be purchased, st wholesale rates, for $25,000, thus saving, in three years, 865,000." EFFECT OF ANTI-PREE TEXT-BOOK LEGISLATION. The effect of anti-free-book legislation is shown in the matter of school attendance. “Thousands of children of the poorest work- ing people drop out of our schools in the early grades because they cannot buy booke—70 per cent before reaching the seventh grade, or Year; 75 per cent before the eighth grade and 79 per cent before the High School. Out of some 2,000 pupils in our High Schools less than 50 per ceut are children of mechanics and laborers. Eisowhere the free text books sys- tem has increased the attendance 10 per cent. It would doso here. Yet a committee con- trolled by men whose party claims to be the workingman’s champion are willing to deprive the workingman’s children of their school Years and impose heavy expenses for books on the people for a mere semblance of economy which will impose upon no one. THE SURPLUS. “It is not as if there were not revenue enough. The committee admits in its report that there will be a revenue of nearly $800,000 more than their recommended appropriations, and they propose to apply it tothe payment of some ublic debts, “in order that it may not lie idle a the treasury.’ It would seem 1s if the appli- cation of the money to the education of our chiidren, at least tothe extent of the needs certitied’ by the school board and the District Commissioners, whose business it is to study those needs, should have precedence of those debta. “In our opinion the committee's politics (in this particular) are as bad as their economy. ‘There is no proposition to reduce the revenue. We shall pay as much taxes aa ever, and then We are to be deprived of the use of the money. We make no complaint regarding streets, sew- ers, &c., for these can wait without immediate ruin to the people (the committee's false economy in this respect will be apparent a few years hence); but the school years of children, ‘once lost, can never be resiored, and we de- mand that every necessery adjunct to the acqu: sition of an education sbull be furnished with- out dela; —___- = —_____ Army Orders.

Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered an important decision in the case of Rudolph M. Manley of compauy I, forty-seventh Pennsyl- ¥ania volunteer militia. He was enlisted for ninety days and while in the service was injured by asunstroke. In 1884 he was granted a pen- sion of $24 per month, but on June 13, 1891, his name was dropped from the pension roll upon the ground that it had been ascertained that the regiment to which he belonged was not in the United States service, but in the service of the state of Pennsylvania. This is the posi- tion taken by the judgo advocate general of the army in a decision rendered September 12, 1890. Assistant Secretary Bussey, however, after an elaborate review of the law and the evidence in this case, concludes that it comes within the first subdivision of section 4693 of the Revised Statutes, which includes among those entitled to the benefits of pension “army officers of the army, including regulars, volunteers and militia, or any officer in the navy or marine corps, or any enlisted man, however gmployed, in the military or naval service of the United States or in its marine corps, whether regularly mustered or not, disabled ‘by reason of any wound or injury received or disease con- tracted while in the service of the United States in the line of duty.” The pension bureau contended that Manley’s case came within the third subdivision of that section of the act, and that having “failed to prosecute his claim to a successful issue prior to July 4, 1874," the same wns barred. ‘The assistant sec- retary, however, does not take this view of the case and directs that Manley'sname be restored to the pension roll. ‘This decision restores to a pensionable status the 50,000 soldiers who served in the Pennsylvania militia about the time of Lee's invasion of that state. ‘The questions in- volved in this decision have received more than ordinary consideration, an opinion having been rendered to Secretary Noble by the assistant attorney general for the Interior Department, and later an opinion by the Attorney General of the United States, both of which sustain the present decision. —_-o-—____ PENSION MATTERS, A Time Limit for the Filing of Applications Proposed. A bill fixing limit to the time in which ap- plications for pensions may be filed was intro- duced in the House yesterday by Representa- tive Peel of Arkansas, It provided as follows: That pensions shall not be granted on original applications filed after January 1, 1893, for dis- abilitice incurred or diseases contracted in the military or naval service of the United States in the late war: that pensions shall not be granted upon original applications filed after January 1, 189, for any disability whatever; and that no increase of more than 25 per cent of the original pension shall be allowed in pen- sions hereafter granted on account of military service in the late war or for disability incurred therein. Nothing in the act is to be construed to prevent a widow of an honorably discharged Union soldier from applying for and receiving pensions under existing law, provided her mar- Tinge to the deceased soldier occurred prior to the Ist of January, 18: Representative ‘McKinney, from the invalid pensions committee, reported to the House o bill establishing an intermediate rate of pen- sion between $30 and $72 per month. ‘This pension 1s to be given to those persons totally incapacitated for performing manual labor and disabled to such a degree ag to require fre- queut and periodical though no regular and constant personal aid and attention of another upon the retirement from active service of Col, Basil Norris, surgeon, take charge of the med- real director's office, ‘department of California, until such time as’ Col.

But that ‘work remains there today utterly useless. ‘Mr. Sayers—Has not that officer been pro- Moted to acolonelcy by the present admin- fetration? Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey—I do not know whether he has or not. Mr. Sayers—I think be has. Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey—Well, if he ha: been, be ought not to have been. It does not make any difference to me who did it: if it ‘was done, it was improperly done. Maj. Ly- decker is the gen! to whom I refer. ‘Mr. Sayers—I refer to him also. THR AMENDMENT REJECTED. ‘Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey—To pay for this ‘work the revenues of the District were not a and the Caceres bes advanced money for that purpose. Now, the pending tection of this bill provides that’ the surplus of taxation which may this year Le taken from ‘the inhabitants of this District over and above ‘the amount appropriated in the bill—I ag re- ferring, of course, to the one-balf all the way Serongh. shall be devoted to repaying to the United States that money which the United States expended and which hax been of no use whatever to the residents of this District, owing entirely to the fault—more than laches, the fanlt—of the officials of the govern- taent. If the eof the District had had eny say in this matter, if they had had ‘any agent to supervise this work, if they had = im any way : ee for this laches, wrongdoing, I should not oppose compel- ling them to pay their proportion of the = pense of that work. But the work was exe- uted under the authority of the United States and without any opportunity whatever being given to the peopie of the District to protect themselves against imposition and fraud. 1 therefore move to strike out this section. ‘The question being taken the amendment of Buchanan Jersey was rejected, Mr. Dickerson (Ky.) offered an amendment Tepealing the act establishing the Rock Creek Park and returning to the United States treas- ry all anexpended monies ‘pou the suggestion of Mr. Holman that the amendment should be proposed to the sundry civil bill when it comes up, Mr. Dickerson with- drew it. ‘Mr. Henderson demanded a yea and nay vote pon his motion to recommit the bill to the committee, with instructions to report an in- eressed appropriation of ¥35,000 for free text hooks and extending the system to the first six Brades. ey aes yeas. examined.

Ina report accompanying the bill is an argu- ment to show the necessity of an intermediate rate of pension. It is not apprehended, the report says, that any difficulty growing out of applications for inerease of pension by those persons who are now pensioned at specific ratings will arise if the bili becomes a law. On the other hand, it was not deemed expedient to place a clause in the bill excluding from its benefits all persons who are —pensioned at specific rates for amputation of their limbs lest this provision might work a hardship to certain deserving soldiers whose disability therefrom is greatly aug- mented by other disabilities, diseases or com- plications. The proviso relative to total deaf- ness is designed as a tecognition of the great disability, inconvenience, humiliation and in- ability to secure employment which arises in the case of those persons who ure totally or ab- solutely deaf. ——_$—_+._____ ‘The Texas Way of Doing It, ‘The Secretary of the Navy received in his mail Wednesday # marked copy of a paper from Galveston, Tex., that excited quite a little amusement among those whosawit.

Charley Mitchell, the pugilist, said last night that he wanted to have another fight with Sul- livan, and that be would bet $5,000 on himself. A telegram from New Orleans with reference to Mitchell's challenge and the willingness of the Olympic Club to hang up = purse was shown Sullivan at St. Paul last evening. The champion is suffering froma terrible cut on his right arm, inflicted by a piece of window pane through which he dashed bis band dur- ing his recent spree. ‘Why isn’tSlavin put up instead of Mitchell?” was the es ve Mitchell means business, for it is not in him to be aquare about anything, but on the theory that he does, I'll say this: If the Olympic Club will put up purse of $25,000 T'll fight afitchell for it if he will bet $10,000 on the side, the fight to come off the last week in August or the first in September. I would pre- fer to meet Slavin because he is the better man, but I'll meet Mitchell only to end his talk.’ I may meet Slavin yet if the nigger doesn’t kill him.
