Show Tho Siauiilliiisi Cliiiui. Wnshincton, 13. The housa private pri-vate land claims committee has instructed in-structed the chairman to make an adverse report to the bouse on the dantilliun bill, and also explicitly refused to allow any withdrawal ol the papers which have been filed in support of tho claim. This action is a death blow to the hopes and plana of the Philadelphia lawyers recently described in these dispatches, and should bo credited to Horaco Davis, whose opposition to the claim has been alike earnest and effective ever since it was brought forward in this congress. |
