It. is rumored that Senator
Chandler, of New liampshifi
is bitterly oppo.-inc in commit
tee the confirmation of Secreta
ry Lamar as Aaaociato Justice
of the Supreme Court, but there
is not the slightest doubt of lu
coofirmatlon. A few of tho Re

for it, but many of Un-m will,
aud so before many days tho
Secretarv will bo a Judge.
An important papr laid bo
fore Congress this week m an
index of Southers claims and
claims referred to tho Court or
Claims under the Bowman act.
It shows the total number iff
claims referred to Congress
the disallowed and barred cases
to be some 22.2G8". represent
ing in money value S', 208,150.
Many of these claims are just
and supported by tho best evi
dence, but barred because not
filed within the timo allowed
by the act. It is believed that at
a day not far distant all theao
leases will bo reopened and sent
I to the Court of Clamis for final
adjudication,
