COMBINATIONS AND BUSINESS DELAYED.
The stagnatiOn of business caused by the
tariff, tax and silver agitation has produced an
alarming decrease in the revenues. In the
Senate, yesterday, it was stated that bonds are
returning to this country in large quantities.
In neither House, yesterday, was any progress
made with the vast amount of pending busi-
ness. The Senate debated the Silver Bill. A
vote ON this question may not be reached this
week. 1t is claimed that the public service is
suffering from the delay in confirming execu-

The rate of decrease is such 10 excite serious ap-
