WASHINGTON, June u, 1912.
The two Houses OF Congress Yesterday had la te
sessions, though accomplishing but little IN the
way If results The Revenue bill was the main
topic unio, debate i" tho Hauoo, ara before the
adjournment five speeches were mnde by HIesSrs.
Randolph. Of New Jersey, IIuut aud Van Buren,,
of New York, Brock way. OF Conneciicut, aud
Thompson of Indiana The speeches were all
above nediocrIiy, and portions OF them exhibited
intrinsic ovldence Of great ability and sound
craftsmanship. The attention given TO tho sub
Iect, much moro general ihaa usual. and n
vast dea. OF information was embodied. Tho doe
tsiao of Protection was defended by all The spea-
kers but one OF tho gentlemen from New York,
who absorbed IN denunc,ations to tho Dislrl,
button c!ause of the Rev euna Bill under c0usid
GRAFTON. Mr.. Hunt. ct New York, made speech
very cred.table TO himself III defence OF moderate
protection. Mr.. Brockway sustained the New
England policy with practical opinions, based IL
pon score Of practical facts. Mr. Thompson of
Indiana, closed the discussion for the day, IN a
speech which did him great credit. 1t was IN
fact a review OF the opinions of some OF the faith
ers OF the Republic upon the subject Of the Ia
riff, from the days of Jefferson and Madison,
through the various Tariff measures which have
in one form CT another, IL one Department of the
Government another found favor called
forth opposition.
The "oRc hour rule" continues TO work TO a
charm, every body being in favor Of IT but those
who boast of their skull to spin speech thro'
tho consecutive hours of day. The country.
too, will save more than time by tho one hour rule
The members, under lis operation, are much more
ORDERLY and attentive TO tho business Of the day
than they If stupid member upon the
floor, all know that under the rule he can remain
there but his sixty minutes. 1t one, whose hab-
uual vorbosity is enough to make you ready TO
commit idolatry by bowling down TO the deaf and
dumb, YOU know that in one brief hour he will
IL
plank. There is hopo always ihat the nexf
speaker will say something 10 instruct or amuse
YOU, aud YOU are seldom or nayer disappointed.
The Loco Focos now rail long and loud against
the one hour rule, but | predict they will never
abandon II when they have the ma oriy. 1t IS
the great charm Of legislation, and It would be q
blessing ii il could prevail in the Senate.
The proceedings IN the Senate Yesterday were
of but hide interest until nearly tho close Of the
chapter y motion was made to take up the bill!
to establish Remedial Justice, By giving the nj.
ted States Courts adtIIioua Jurisdiction aud pow
er, IN order that IN like the Mcleod diff
cultles, for example, additional power may be giv-
en- to the Government Upon this notion IN
eXpectedlv 10 almost all present, q debate sprung
up. Mr. buchanan, who Is Just now veto mad.
took occasion TO make the motion have referred
to. the subject Of a veto speech. The remarks
submitted, would have baea just as appropriate
the codcIl Ut viii, as tnoy were where they
were pat.
AIR Buchanan was too much delighted it'll the
expectation OF veto, 10 conceal the delight he
experienced. The idea seemed to haunt INN. a n

man does hJs power 10 60 mischief. Il ha were
President, he would veto the euua bill. 1t II
contained the distribution clause Yes. Mr.. BIch-
anan. Of the State OF Penns slyan,a, whose very

lailoas heard IN the Senate, III toe iorm ri pray
