Aftar a little mora legislation shall have been got out of the way the friends of the Frenoh spoliation claims hope to get the floor for the consideration of senate bill 1,507, making provision for the payment of those claims which have been passed upon favorably by the court of claims. The chief objection urged Against such An appropriation heretofore has been that many of the claims were stale, and that they aggregated a large sum. The first of these complainto has been met repeatedly by proofs that age had not Invalidated Any of the just claims, which have been deferred through no fault either of the original claimants or their heirs.

The urt of claims Adjudicated by the court shows, also, that the sum required to pay them is not enormous. What has frightened many members of on gross baa been the size of the first estimates, which they have carelessly confused with th Actual figures after the sifting process was finished. Less than tl.700,000 would liquidate the entire debt of the United State to the claimants who had successfully proved their cases down to the 24th of February of this year. This is a great descent from the $30,000,000 which was talked of by some of the calculators before the court began it wort. Of the cases which were presented to the court those in which the vessel And th master were named and the amount of damage was specifically stated amounted to only about (3,737,000, and this was cut down by disallowances to somewhat over 11,666,747.99 more than one half; while those which were thrown ontr because of vagueness in essential details amounted to nearly 16,000,000.
