Pension changes and Utah law execution bill discussed

The House considered private calendar actions at 1:40 pm with debate on pensions for widows of General Mew and General McPheron, and an increased pension for the widow of Comeno dore Eliiott. A Territories committee bill would empower U S Marshals and assistants to appoint deputies to enforce laws in Utah and allow jurors from male U S citizens in the territory. The Senate committee reported favorably on the preemption rule bill and Pratt’s survey bill. Sumner opposed a World’s Fair, urging restraint and funding limits. Multiple city reports followed from Frederick, Chicago, and Paris about fires, a murder case, and Thiers’s reception. The New York Evening Post notes Daniel Drew's ill health.
