session, but, as was lately announced,
the Ways and Means Committee decid-
ed not to report them. This Of course
reduces the settlement of all these
questions down to the Committee. The
rest Of Congress hasn't q chance to ex-
press any opinion on the subject.
Lately there have been urgent APP
peals to have type and materials en-
tering into the manufacture of white
paper placed on the free list, because
of the monopoly enjoyed and the com
binations entered into by the manu-
facturers Of these articles, to extort
outrageous prices. But these appeals,
like all others, have gone into the pig
con holes Of the Ways and Means
Committee. Mr.. Townsend, of IlIi-
no;s, presented bill on Monday to
amend the sections Of the revised stat
utcs relating to this subject, and not
wishing his bill to go to graveyard
he asked the reference of it to the
Committee on Revision of tue Laws,
of which he is member. 1t was so
referred, but when the Portectionists
/ got their eyes open to the scope of
the bill they began desperate tactics
to have it recalled and sent to the
COMMITTEES Of Ways and Means. The
result was lively skirlnish and night
sessions Tie merits Of the proposed
tariff change were not discussed in
this contest-could not be-but it
was as near an issue between the two
issues as will be raised this session.
4 The numerous scandals with which
the National Capital is afflicted are
getting well aired of late. None of
them attracts more attention than the
unpleasantness in the Christiancy
family. Minister Christiancy is ex-
pected to return here shortly to pros
ecute suit for divorce. Three years
ago when Mr.. Christiancy, then Uni
ted States Senator, married a beauti-
full young lady, poor girl and clerk
in the Treasury, the disparity in their
ages and the frosted romance of the
affair, created quite sensation in so
