yesterday to the American tint fta freight

which also uses the PACIFIC Express, Mt

In tho courts. 1t Is claimed that Gould Inns
no right to take ,such actlon,, and that the

Congressional Doings.
Closing NGyF.

In the United States Senate Tuesday
it becane evident that the omnibus tar
iff amendment to the Barley Malt Duty
bill would cause debate until after the
close of this session of Congress, so SeH-
otor Whyte abandoned his effort to Sc
cure action on the Carlisle Sugar bill.
The eight-hour resolution was tabled.
An effort to pass a joint resolution to
provide for the count of the electoral
vote failed. All House bills on the cal
endar were disposed of. The Ben Hal
laday claims and the Mexican war pen
sions were debated at length. A mes
sage was received from the President
vetoing the bill providing for the pay
and appointment of deputy marshalS.
In the House the last of the appropri-
alton bills were acted on. McLane made
a persistent fight to pass the Carlisle Su-
gar bill. but was defeated by filibuster-
ing tactics.
The closing scenes of the second ses-
sion of the Forty-sixth Congress were
unusually dull. No quorum was pres
ent when the Senate convened Wednes-
day morning. Consideration of the res
olutions providing for coaling stations
on the IsthmuS of Panama, the Barley
Malt bill, with the Carlisle Sugar bill
amendment, and of other important
measures, was objected to. The bill al
lowing Dodd Brown & Co. S5S,OOO on
Indian contracts, and House bills on the
calendar except the one reimbursing
military assessments to Hiram Johnson
and others, were passed. Two executive
sessions were held, and many appoint
mentS confirmed. Consideration of the
Presidents message yetoing the Depu-
ty Marshals bill was postponed until
next session.
In the House Mr.. McLane was forced
to withdraw the Carlisle Sugar bill and
Mr.. Cox his Irish Relief bill. The re-
port of the Springer anonymous letter
investigation committee, finding that
Finley wrote the letter, and the two re-
ports on the Washburne-Donnelly con-
test, were submitted. No further busi-
