FAILS TO HEID 1 OFF

Payne, Republican Floor Leader, Cannot Stop the Progress of Forty-Five Claims. TSEY ARE OF ALL S0ET3 AND AGES Fight Is Hot and Long and Recess Is Taken Instead of Adjournment Silver ltalio Up Again. Washington, Jan. 31. Yesterday was 'the last private claims day of this congress in the house, and members with bills on the calendar carried everything before them in committee of the whole. Forty-five bills in all were acted on favorably, despite the efforts of Payne, the Republican floor leader, assisted by Cannon and others, HON. JOSEPH O. CAyXOS. to defeat some of them. Many of the claims were old, dating back to the civil war, and a few originated prior to that time. The latter were for balances due for carrying mails in the south when the war broke out Payne Says They 11 are Been Paid. Tayne was particularly insistent in his opposition to these bills, calling attention to the exposure of the fraudulent character of many similar claims In the Forty-fifth congress. lie expressed the opinion that all these claims had been paid before. The members interested stood together, however, and voted him down every time he demanded a division. There were several bills to reimburse postmasters and Internal revenue collectors for stamps lost or stolen. One was to pay the balance on a contract for ice furnished the army hospitals in ths Mississippi valley during the war. The amount claimed is $80,000 and is for Ice at the rate of 00 cents a hundred pounds. Other Specimen Claims. Among the others were bills to pay George C. Ellison, an engineer at the capital In the 70's, $5,000 for the cost of defending himself against the charge of murder; to pay $5,000 to the widow of Samuel Muhleman, one of the victims of the old Ford theater disaster, when the building, in which were employed government clerks, collapsed, and to refund the customers of W. M. Jacobs, of Lancaster, Pa., thetamount of the counterfeit stamps purchased from him. Payne Falle to Stem the Tide. Wen the committee of the whole reported the bills to the house Payne blocked their final passage for the day by making the point of no quorum. But the friends of the claims refused to be balked. A motion was made to recess until this morning at 1050 o'clock. In order to continue the legislative day of yesterday, and the ser-geant-at-aims and his deputies were sent out to arrest and bring in absentees. It was 8 p. m. . before the requisite quorum was sect .ed to carry the motion and let the session go over until 1030 a. m. today. - SEARCH FOR A COMMON RATIO Subject Brought Up by Communication from Mexico and China. Washington, Jan. 31. The executive branch of tho government is not disposed to cease its efforts to bring about an adjustment of the ratio of gold and silver currency in the Orient, and, in other silver using countries, with the mere presentation to congress of the Mexican and Chinese notes Thursday. These notes urged that the United States should - join r with silver-using countries In an effort, as the president puts it in his mersage, inclosing the appeals of China and Mexico: "To restore and maintain a fixed relationship between the moneys of the goldStandard countries and the silver-using countries." The president recommends that "the executive be given sufficient powers to lend the support of the United States in such manner and to such degree i as he may deem expedient to the purposes of the two governments." Secretary Root, who is opposed to the amended Philippine currency bill, is particularly urgent In seeking to remedy the evil financial conditions In the Philippines caused in large part by fluctuating currency ratios, while Secretary Hay is Interested In the proposition because it promises to at once alleviate the friction now existing as a result of the Chinese indemnity question. The secretary also is looking Into tiie future toward the enlargement of United States trade in South and Central America, where silver is still the standard of value. Therefore the proposition will b9 laid before congress to appoint a commission of three members men expert in financial matters to act as representatives of the United States in an, International money conference on the lines -Indicated by Mexico and China or in consultation directly or In fact" in any line . of International exchange that promises success. , FRANCIS ENTERS A TROTEST .

3C zueia an agreement to pay the debt she owed Frenchmen by Installments. The United States has a claim against Venezuela which was allowed by a commission appointed by both governments. - Now here comes Great Britain and Germany, whose . claims have been flouted by theVenezuelan government, and they proceed to force a settlement by blockading Venezuelan ports. That would not trouble Uncle Sam and the French if the allies did not now claim that before any other nations can get Into Venezuc-ia's bank balance they (Great Eritain and Germany) must first have been paid their claims. France protests and holds np her negotiated agreement and treaties. The United States has not protested yet, but the is no telling what mar happen. Bowen, who Is acting for Venezuela is very energetic against the contention of the allies. France will make representations to the allies In the matter, which will take time, and .the end 5 of the trouble, which looked In eight a few days ago, Is somewhere In the dim future now.
