Feb. r tPperial Tele-gram-e Rej.reeevU-e McCarthy tdy killed a WI1 that has been trooping through the halls of corrreer many year. Mr Mc Carthy had so tntrran whatsoever in the bill. His attention nas called to It through a circular letter sent to all representative tn corurress and signed by a former dftn ocratic sergeant -at -arms of the renate. Mr. McCarthy tboaght It but right to 1-xik into the Mil for th relief cf tbe oor.tract-ir or his lexral representatives for tb con stroctioa of the Lght draft monitor EUah. Mr. Payne, chairman of th committet oa ways aad mean, requested Mr MrCar thy to examine the law p'tfnt connected with this bill, wbkh tbe corigTesejnaa d.d, to such satisfaction to th leader of tbe bouse and others looking to boDert laclsla tion that the MU failed of passage be fore Mr. McCarthy's attack. He showed that tbe measure bad been vetoed twioe, once by Mr. Cleveland and once by Mr. Harrison. That tbe supreme ccnirt had also been In opposition to its allowance. But particularly be showed that tbe re ceipt fnr the conrtrartion of tbe EUah had beea grrea by its constructors way back la tb Forty-eighth cor free. Tbe 1411 was sent to tbe cotrt of claims and Bpon th finding of facts as appropriation was aked amounting to nearly t. je.Ole to re compTiK the constructors. Mr. McCarthy attacked the findings of the court of claims and so suocessful was he In his presentation of tbe law points that the bouse stood with bins when th vote was taken. Representative McCarthy waa mas ter of himself and his subject in his Initial appearance before the house and was accorded dose attention by tbuee ehose commendation Is worth having. The bill was introduoed by Mr. Berth old of Mis souri. Macadam Bead ta Fart Creak. Senator Millard nas been closely watch ing legislation particularly with a view of brtr-ging about closer relation srlth Fort Crook and Omaha. He has had a number of ideas In his mind that would bring th fort nearer la metropolis of Nebraska, but whenever he woald endeavor to get th government Interested In doing its share of tbe work In making a great highway be tween Fort Crook and tb county line he always met with objection. Recently a Hil vas passed tn the senate ivthorizing a macadam road Ave miles long between Pen- sacola and the national cemetery tn Florida- It was Senator Millard's opportunity. A precedeci- had been ertab'iahed and today the senator introduced a hffl providing for an appropriation ef PB. w ta macadamise a Bxteea-loot roadway from Port Crook to tbe limit of South Omaha at a point directly epposit th sec them terminus af Thirteenth street tn Omaha. In this coa necrjQS tt may not he out of place to say that unless Port Crook ta brought nearer to Omaha that both officers, and men lo cated there wfl protest against Port Crook as a military assignment. Officers who come t Washington are not enamored with the plaoe. Tbey say that the railroad facilities' ar wholly Inadequate t meet the desire cf officers and men. and that unless closer communication Is brought about through aut railway service cr conces sions made by tbe railroads that Pesrt Crook win broom one ef the least deeir abl assignments In tbe country.
