amined n. +. Whiting. He swore he
received only $4,000 from Irwin for his
services in promoting the passage of
the Pacific mali subsidy bill this was
wholly contingent on success 1t was
received after the bill passed, and was
all kept by himself; he was employed
with the special view of influencing
Senator Cole, but found he needed no
influencing, being already heartily in
favor of the subsidy and fully commit
ted to it, Witness did nothing for his
money except to talk with everybody
he knew, and set forth the national
advantages which would result from
granting the increased subsidy. g..l

A curious condition Of affairs exists
in regari to the new session. The
democrats of the house, under the lead
of Mr.. Randall, take every occasion to
announce their strong aversion to an
early session of the next congress.
Some of the prominent republicans in
the senate think the indications strong
that the democrats there intend to de-
lay important business so as to make a
session necessary. There are also
numbers of republicans who regard a
new session with great favor, thinking
that the sooner the democrats assume
the responsibilities of legislation the
better. The majority of both parties
in each house, however, seems opposed
to forcing a call for an extra session.
In the house the tariff bill was dis
cussed all day in the committee of the
whole. The amendments did not get
beyond the first section, which only
applies to whiskey. The proposition
to reduce the tax from dollar to eighty
five cents, and to strike out the pro-
visions taxing stock on hand, were re-
jected. An amendment was adopted
increasing the duty on champagne
from six dollars per dozen, quarts, to
to nine dollars, aud from three dollars
per dozen, pints, to four dollars and
fifty cents. ed.
