Congress is showing cOmncndibie alacrfty in
getting 20 work. In the House remarkable pro-
cres5 has been made on the appropriation bills.
A disposition is shown in the Senate to tackle
The hard problems proposed il at the very out
set. Senator EdmmdS intends 10 call up his
electoral bill on Monday, and no other subject
requires immediate consideration and legisla-
ton with more urgency than that with which
il deals. senator EdInundS proposes that the
presidential election shall be held on the first
tuesday in October, and that the electors shall
meet III the different states Oh the second Mon
day in the following January. \ period OF more
than three months is thus given Tor the decision
H. each state OF disputed elections. and where
such determination is made according 10 the
regulations provided by the state itself. the
decision shall be final and conclusive. 1t is also
provided that when Congress counts the cleo
forai votes, if only one return from a state is
made the concurrence of both houses is necessary
10 reject its vote after objection for cause to its
reception has been made; but if two sets OF
returns are sent in from state neither can be
received without the concurrence of both
houses. senator EdmundS seems disposed TO
force consideration OF the question, and il is
10 I've hoped that Congress will not delay in
acting il. part towards bringing about consti-
tutiOnal amendment. whose necessity is con-
C"QFtl.
