The delay is caused by the sub-committee which was ordered to draw up the report. They are at work on it now, how- ever, and it is expected the bill will be on the calendar in time to be voted upon next Wednesday, which is as early as_the bill can be reached. . New England organizations are sending out appeals to members of the house to vote for the bill, and the New England members are doing all in their power to secure a_majority in the house for the bill. It i3 ex- pected that it will pass, but there may Dbe trouble ahead In the senate. Sen- ator Brandegee will have charge of the bill in the senate, but he will not eall his committee together until after the bill has passed the house. Branderee has assured the members that there will be no delay in getting the bill before the commit. tee, and he will try to have the Weeks bill reported without any amendments, 50 _as to hurry this matter along.

Gil- bert of Higganum, but Representative Mann objected to the procedure and would not allow"the resolution to come up. This resolution was Introduced by Senator Bulkeley, to comply with the suggestions of President Taft and the war department in a similar case, and passed the semate without any trouble. Mr. Mann’s objection was to the form of the resolution, and Major Tilson will now introduce an entirely new bill, and the whole matter will have to be done over again, in spite of the fact that a bill has already passed congress in behalf of Gilbert.

(Written Speclally for The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, April 8.—Some of the Connecticut members of the so-called “Forlorn Hope Party” are getting im- patient over the delay in the house committee on military affairs in re- porting the bill to grant medals to the survivors of the party. The bill, which was introduced by Semator Bulkeley, passed the senate some time ago, but the house committee thus far has refused to report the bill. The same thing happened last congress, and the bill never was reported to the house. It is said the members of the com- mittee are opposed to the bill, because it is claimed the men did not perform the service for which they volunteered as Fort Hudson caplitulated before it became necessary. The Connecticut members of congress are doing all in their power to induce the committee to report the bill, but the opposition seems to be too strong for them, and the bill will probably die as before.
