THE METHOD OF COUNTING ELECTORAL
Senator Sherman has offered a Joint reso-
luton rescirdng the twenty-second Joint rule
which has been the cause of the present cum
6rous method Of counting the electoral vote
Senator Morton attacked ii severely in
speech, recently, on the present unsatisfactory
system OF Presidential elections. Mr.. Sher-
mans resolution will probably be debated
early next week. This RUE requires the SEN
ate to retire from convention on the least OBJ
je,tion being made.
THE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS.
The committee 90 ways and means began
the investigation of their clerk Friday morn
ing, examining Colgate, who alleges that the
clerk offered to take care of his business for
$3.50 month. The only proofs Colgate of.
fered was card with the clerks name and
address on it, Several witnesses are in town
to dsprove the character of Colgate's testi-
mony.
PoMERoY AND HIS CHANCES OF EXPULSION
Many Senators of both parties assert that
If the charges against Senator Pomeroy rest
only on York's testimony, no Senator will
vote for any resolution of expulsion or even
OF censure, as all claim that if such evidence
should prevail, no public man would be safe
from assault
BILL AGAINST IMPORTING LABoRERs.
The House committee on education and
labor has agreed to report Mr.. Cough,an's
anti-Chnese importation bill, which makes
every contract for labor or service for more
than three months, made in foreign coun-
try with or for any alien, any part of which
Is to be performed in the United States, Pc
nal ofense punishable by a fine of five thou
sand dollars. Sub contractors and overseers
are liable to similar fines, one-half of which
is to go to the alien on condition that he
leaves the country at once.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU REFORM.
The internal revenue bureau is preparing
for issue in a few days circular to all assess
ors and assistant assessors, directing them to
close their offices and turn over their official
effects May 20 to collectors, as provided for by
the consolidation bill passed early in the ses-
sion. Assessments for April are to be made
out as usual, and the transfer of the office to
the collector must not be delayed longer than
the goth of the subsequent month. The to-
tai receipts of revenue for the current fiscal
year ale not thus far quite up to the estimate.

There is some feeling about the removal OF

even said that he was removed merely be-
