Senate Fourth of July claims bill and Pollard rejection
The Senate advances a July fourth claims amendment to reimburse Ayres P. Morrill’s estate $67,000 for Civil War supplies. Judge Pollard of Montana is rejected after a long debate over alleged fraudulent practices. House actions include canal rights for irrigation, trade dollar redemption, and river project tweaks. A vetoed graves bill fails in the Senate. Various confirmations and public-land, taxation, and infrastructure measures proceed in both chambers.
