HOUSE I'HOCEEDINOS.
The huuse spent the whole of today's
seslson In eonunlttee of the whole, con
sidering pilvute. in nslon bills. Pavoi-
al-ie action was taken upon llfty-two of
them, one being the senate bill to In
ciease to $100 a month the pension of
Major Geneial Julius 11. Stall. An
amusing scene occulted In the effoits
of memheis to tet their bills thiough.
The steps leading to the speakei's
chair sw aimed with memheis uiging
Chad man Uendeison to lavor them.
The stiuggle was earnest and noisy,
and the few memheis lemalning on the
lloor laughed nnd applauded their moie
energetic associates. The hub-bub was
so gieat that pioceedings had to lie sus
pended until something like Older was
lestoied. Por tlnee-quai teis of an
hour the house pioceeded amid much
confusion, when something of a sensa
tion occtitied. Mr. Steele, of Indiana,
stated that while he leeognlzeil that
many bills weie lepoi ted fiom the com
mittee on invalid pensions pinposlng
legislation In behalf of soldieis or their
dependents who weie entitled to special
legislation, it was Hue that fully ninety
per cent, of the bills weie for pel sons
no moie entitled to It than weie thou
sands for w horn It was not asked, or if
asked died In the committee loom.
Mr. Wood, ot Illinois, lesented the le
Ilectlons cast upon the committee on
Invalid pensions by the gentleman fiom
Indiana, sa.vlng that the house had In
ci eased the pensions ot many claimants
over the amount lecommended b) the
eonunlttee.
Mr. Steele responded that he meant
to make no lellectlon uuoii the toni
niittee, but helievlmv that "ticli pio
ceedings weie not light he should vote
against Pilday nbrht sessions in th"
futuie If this method of obtaining lec
ognitlon was to be continued.
Chuliman Ileudeihon explained that
in his loeoijnltlun of memheis he was
endeavoilng to lollow the suggestions
of the committee on Invalid pensions,
so as to i each some eases that demand
ed Immediate action and at the same
time to do what he conceived to be laii
to the Deinociatlc side of the house.
Mr. Steele Well the bill I wanted to
call up wus foi the benefit of a wlduw
entliely helpless and destitute.
Sovcial nieinlieis O, jolt don't be
lieve In such legislation, why do , oil
want lo call It up.
Mr. Steele moved that the commit
tee Use, but the motion was lost. How
ever, on motion of Mr. Pavne, of Now
Yoik, the committee voted to take up
hills In their ouler on the calendar. This
lestoied lelntive quiet and a lew other
bills weie acted on, making a total of
lift) -two for the utteuioon.

in lefeiilng to the queen's speech, said
the most satlslactoi) statement con
tained In It was the iefeience made to
the leliltions between Cleat Biitaln

congiatuhited the government upon
the conclusion ot the dlftotences le
gauling Venezuela, and gave them un
stinted pialse for the geneial aibitia
tlon tieaty, which was lecently signed
by tlie Biltlsh ambassador at Washing
ton and the Ameiiciin secretary ot
state.
Theie could be no better ce'ehiatlon
of the sixtieth year of her majesty's
lelgn thnn that her government should
he among the Hist of the nations to sel
the example of settling difleiences by
aibltiatlon He denounced the Nile
campaign and asked the government
to justify their Egyptian policy. In
legale! to Ainienia, he wus glad to heai
that the government had abandoned
hostility to Bussla in the matter.

deeply legietted that Loul Bosbeiy was
no longer the leader of the Lllieinl

then pioceeded to defend the consistent
policy of the Consei vatlves. The gov

the antl-Busslan policy of 1S7S. It was
the Cilincan war that initiated It, but
