THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL DEAD.
The interstate commerce bill Is un-
doubtedly dead. Itisotlittle consequence
now what the report Of the committee
may be, as It Is impossible for the Senate
10 reach II ibis session. Several Senators
have said that the bill as 1t passed the
House involves grave questions OF legisla-
ton on constitutional grounds, and that u
the bill were to come up Immediately, the
me OF the present s3SJiil would not be
long enough for the discussion which Il
would evoke. The calendar is already
filled with more important matters, which
must be considered, and so tue Interstate
commerce bill will fail this session.
INTERNAL REvRSUEyEro EXPECTED.
The Internal Revenue Bill passed the
Hou to-day, and now only needs the
Presidents signature 10 become law, but
II is not certain that II will obtain that sig
nature, as It Is predicted, on very good
authority, that the President will veto It.
Secretary Sherman recommends veto on
the ground that the country can not stand
such reduction Of It's revenues as Is
contemplated by the reduction Of tax on
tobacco.

ensued, Erie preferred leading In the I'm.

The recovery In Eric was due TO the an.
nouncenient that the london shareholders
OF the Atlantic & Great Western Railway had
consented to the lease Of the property TO the
Erie Railroad: also to the fact that the ex-
penses OF the last mentioned road decreased
$ll00 900 during the past month, notwithstand-
ing the cost Of keeping the road clear OF snow.
A lively contest Is In progress In coal shares,
notably Laekawanna. The bears made stren-
uous efforts to deprcss the stock with large
amounts Of sellers Of GOs hoping to get prices
Gt 0 lower range for covering purposes, but
the cash stock rose because the output Of
coal, owing q, the continued cold weather. is
likely to be very large, particularly for Lacka-
wanna, whose profit Is on the amount sent 10

A communication from David 7. Corbin,
contestant for seat from South Carolina,
was read and laid on the table. Mr.. Cor.
bin states that be has been before the
Senate FOL, two years actively asserting his
right, having been duly elected, aud the
Committee on Privileges and Elections 90
reported. He refers 70 the vote Of Tues.
day, by which the Senate refused TO con.
slider his case, and says that the action OF
certain Senators indicate that his right to
seat will not be acted on at this session
and II will be useless for him to renew the
contest at the next session. He therefore
withdraws from the contest.
Mr.. Corbin adds that had he been nd.
nltted he might have been enabled among
other duties 10 have rendered service to
the colored people Of South Carolina, now
In need Of assistance.
The Census Committee reported back
the bill TO provide for taking the tenth
and subsequent census as amended by the
House, and recommended that the Senate
non.concur in the House amendments and
ask for committee OF conference.
Mr. Conkling said some Of the amend.

motion Il was ordered that the amend.
