ited debate on the general subject, of
the payment of claims found to bo duo
against the United Stales was Indulged
In by tile house during the considera
tion or the general deficiency appro
priation bill, which was entered upon

Mr. Hichafdson of Tennessee had
called attention to an apparent tncos-
elstency of an Item to pay the costs
of defending suits and the fact that
the bill contained no Item to pay tho
Judgments.,.
This furnished Mr. Waller of Mas
sachusetts u text for a lively speech
against the "niggardly" and "dishon
est” policy of tho government, and a
eevere arraignment of tho committee
on rulca for the tyranny It was said
to exercise over the proceedings of the
house. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio came to
the defense of the committee, warmly
declaring that the house had made the
rules and should abide by thorn. No
one, he said, would resent the oxerclso
of power not conferred on the commit'
tee more bitterly than he. -
Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania; chair
man of the war claims committee,
made the statement that the house had
been frightened by a “bogie man." and
that all the Just claims against the
government. Instead of aggregating
hundreds of millions, as frequently
staled, could be discharged with ten
millions. The consideration of the bill
was not completed. The bill carries
$8,441,037. The house again today stpod
by the policy adopted a few days ago
in the case of the widow of Major-
Gen. Stoneman In fixing the rate of her
pension at $50 per month by rejecting
a conference report granting a pension
of $75 to the widow of Major-Gen. Jo
seph B. Carr. /
At 5 o’clock the house took a recess
until 8 o'clock, the evening session to
bo devoted to private pension legisla
tion.,

fcOKUETX~A SUItE WINNER.
His Trainer. McVcy, Gives tho Good
Points of the Champion.
Cnrsou Oily. Nev., Feb. 19.—ohn Mc-
Vey. Corbelt's principal trainer, hint un-
lded eotifideuec in the ability of his
eharge to defeat Fitzsimmons. Concern
ing the eliamplor.'s general condition
and Ills method of training, MoVey says:
"Corbett Is a very easy man to Iralit.
I never have to tell him what to do. fot
he Is a perfect wolf for work and'he
keeps' right at it whether 1 am there or
not. He is the most eoliseientlous follow
I ever saw about that. He does more
Volid bard grind than any fellow 1 ever
trained. Jim tumbles out of bed at 7
dbek, and has a breakfast of soft-
boiled egf/s, toast and tea. At 9 o’cloek
tho business of the day begins. First
comes a half hour's practice, pulling ou
weight.' to strengthen Ills wrists. Then
he punches the bjg for a while. There is
no rest for him between 9 and 12, he
simply changes from one kind of exet-
else to another.
’’He fights about three or four rounds,
with each man, and you hot he does not
rrist until he gets through with them,
either. Alter that I take eharge of him
and give him n good rub down with
coarse .towels. I do all that work myself.
1 then give him a good salt water bath
nnd alcohol rills. Before eating his lunch,
he rests by walking around the train
ing quarters, reading or something ol
that sort, aud rarely lies down except
When we want to sweat him.
“At lunch he eats rare beef and vege
tables. His big meal is served at 0
o'clock, when lie cun have (Til the meals,
Vegetables nml fruit he wants, with a
bottle of wine to top off on. He is not a
hearty colter, so I let him have as much
us he wants of a certain kind of food,
hut no pastries, bread or sweets.
"At 2 o’clock l bundle hlui up In
sweaters and heavy clothes, aud he be
gins his road exere4ee. This means that
he runs and walks from 15 to 18 miles.
"Of course, he comes back to me drip
ping wet’ and ready for another rub-down
anil bath. After a short rest he Is ready
for a game of handball, which lasts an
hour or two, and puts him In good trjm
for another boxing liout. This time hu
boxes about nine rounds, and after time
and hia bath, he can do as Ije pleases,
for the day's work Is ended. But prompt
ly ait 10 o’clock, f put him to bed, aud
he tdoeps like a liahy, too.
‘.'As for tho coming light, he can't
help .winning fot he is In better condi
tion than he has, ever been. Fitzsim
mons Is a good man and a hard hitter,
hut he uannot stand up against Jim.
"Why. Jim iv'JI worry the life out of
him. Fitzsimmons has a right-hand
punch that would do damage, If It got
there, but l* won’t, and, mark my
words, Jim will get. oft without being
puillahMl. You know Corbett is cool as
a vucilmbcr and never loses his head,
while Fitzsimmons Is. Just the opposite.
“The fight may last ton rounds, hut I
don’t think so. In about the third or
fourth round Jim will tantalise the life
out of the long Australian, for If Fitz
simmons don’t win then he will go all
to pieces and fight wild.
"What do J consider Corbett's best
'blow? :Well, that's hard to say. He
Has a right-body punch that Is a
corker, hut his left-hand hook would
knock down » house."
Last night a delegation consisting of
half a dozen citizens of Empire came to
town <md ottered Julian handsome In
ducements to rent training quarters In
that neighborhood. He refused, h6iv-
over, do break his agreement with Cook.
The Tittle manager had a disagreeable
experience during the afternoon. About
4 o’clock ho took a sleigh and drove out
In a' 'blinding storm to the ranch. He
started for home at dark, lost his way
In the sage brush and was compelled
to get out and hunt for .tho road on
foot. While he was searching in the
dark for signs of a track, his horse
bolted with the sleigh and ran over a
mile, finally pulling up In front of the
Nevada penitentiary with the vehicle
pretty nearly smashed to pieces. It
look Julian about three hours to walk
back home.

An Awful Blunder.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
One of the big hotels juts lost a guent.
and u clerk is in disgrace.
It nH happened through a mlsapprchou
sion. Theca was -a new bell boy In the
hotel, Imt he waa only Indirectly respon
sible. The guest whose parting was nus-
tcui-d hy the offense to his dignity wa»
a youthful looking banker from Boston,
who stop* In the city frequently ou busi
ness with hi* correspondent* and cus
tomer* here.
He had Just come out of the dining
room and wo* standing before the coun
ter, crowded with the usual array of per
sistent people who drop into a hotel lu
the early (nornlug. He didn't (oak like a
weilthy man; In fact, be was not much
different in appearance from a bell boy
without hi* uniform.
Now, It happi'iicd that.the new bell
boy was too large fur the uniform of bis
predecessor, and while a *ult of livery
was being ground oat to suit the angle*
of bis frame, he was working In the or
dinary clothe* that bis best girl recog
nized coming down the street.
The clerk, on duty had not seen the
new hoy often. He had eworn at him
threcitimcs since t o'clock, but could not
have Identified him if ho had died with
out spoiling hi* face. Somebody wanted
to nee some-body else, hqt lb* youthful
guest was standing nt the counter.
The clerk looked around, iaw the guest
and threw him the card and a tray.
"Here, boy." he ordered, "lake this
card up to No. MX”
“I don’t know where It 4s," stammered
the guest, too anrprised to object,
"Wei!, why don'f you know?" the clerk
heatedly inquired "Do you lliluk you'r
being paid for being ignorant? Find out.
The guest mate to ibont this time, and
after lilsfljifriag himself, proceeded to
say band! things about the hotel, and
departed.
