C., Dee. 24, [Special Telegram to Tk Brr.|—The adjournment of | congress without allowlvg the introduction of a bill fn the house has postponed until after the holidays the cousideration of a sub ject that is iikely to attract considerable at- tention during the session, At a recent gatheriug of forty or fifty representatives W. C. Breckenridge of Kentucky discoursed eloquently upon the sufferings of members of congress under the constant stieam of ap- peals from constituents for information, ad- vice and assistance of every concewvable va- riety. It was the attempt to do justice to Just this sort of demand that killed Senator Plumb and his fate has induced a suiden change of policy an the part of many of bis associates in both houses, They are looking about now for some way of relieving themselves of work, Mr. Breck- enridge suggested that the government should establish a national bureau of infor- mation, supported at public expense, to which congressmen could refer the majovity of the queries that now weigh them aown under such a load of ecare. He also advances tho idea that this bureau shoula see to the coilection of claims against the government. The last idea was promptly discountenaced. Auother member re- marked that it would look curi- ous to seo the government - prose- cuting and defending the same cases He added that it was unnecessary to tako any trouble about claims, since they were atrendy amply provided for by Tie Bee and Examiner Bureau of Claims, This view was generally accepted by many of the congressm 1g already intrusted the Burecau of Claims with a!l the work of the kind heaped upon them by their constitu- onts, but the iaer of the bureau of informa- tion' founda favor, and one member soon after prepared a bill wonich he submitted to Tue Bee ana Examiner Bureau of Claims for advice. Should this measure pas: the associated western newspapers of con- siderable gratuitous work, although tney would cheerfully continue to do this work for anybody that asked for it. Mr. Breckinridge's burcau of informa- tion is already in existence, not supported by the government, however, but by Tue BEE and Examiner’ Bureau of Claims, which answers overy letter addressed to it, and that without charge. It gives all applicants the benefit, free of charge, of the best legal udvice. When a mau writes to ask whether he has o legal claim against the government, it considers the caso = arefully and then forwards its opinion. If the man's case bas no merit it telle bim soand the matter ouds there with 0o oxpense to the upplicant and 1f the claim appears to bo one that can bo sustaiued it savs so. Then if the claimant chooses to put: his case into the hands of the Burasu it carries 1t through, paying all the fucidental exponses and con> ducting any correspondence thiat may appear t0 be necessary from time {0 time, receiving fiually a nominal fce, fixed by the court, if successful, and nothing (at, all if unsuc- cessful, It will probably be unable to dispense en- tirely with tho general information branch of its business, but if the government should decire to have It, as Mr. Breckenridge pro- poses, it would appreciate tho.assistance.
