One of the rarest goma of elo-iuenci
delivered in the House this a-fcio: w
the speech of Mr, Parker of Ilal!f.,
chairman of the committee on v-'
sions, in support of the bill. Upon it.
conclusion of the-speech Mr. PiirMti
was applauded tc the echo, and
bers from all parts of the hall tatt
ered around Mr. Parker and, wrSr.as
his hand, heartily congratulated him.
Mr. Parker's reference to the thin
ning ranks of the faithful old hero;
who wore the gray was brief,' 1uC-rich
in tenderness, touching and beautiful
in language, earnest and forceful Ui
delivery. At its close Colonel Lucu
of' Hyde arose and said, with a moist

thought a great deal of the gentleman

committee thought he ought to be able

Consequently,7 instead of recommend
ing an appropriation, of $150,000 for
salaries and an additional $150,000 for
traveling expenses, arid a further sum
of $150,000 for a contingent fund, the
committee is inclined; to allow about
$10,000.
