WASHINGTON, June 14.-Taking cursory
review of the situation, to-day, of the public
business, it does not seem possible that
Congress can get through before the mid
die OF July.
To get through at that time both brsnces
will have to work hard, day and night,
and to adjonrn at that date all public
measures, including the internal revenue
bin, viii have to go BY. the board. save the
appropriation bills.
The Foreign Affairs Committee examined
William Henry Trescott to-day. Mr.. Tres
eott was examined at great length as to the
object of his visit to South America, which
was to obtain peace between Chilli and
Peru. He had no knowledge of Shepherds
Peruvian Company. beyond the fact that
Mr.. Blaine showed him two letters which
were improper communications to Secre-
tary of State. There was no charge of cor
ruption against Hurlbut in Chill, where he
was disliked. The remainder of the testi.
mony was unimportant.
The Senate Whisky Investigating Com
mittee met again to-day, and examined two
members of the Critic editorial staff, but
the charges of corruption against newspa-
per correspondents were not substantiated,
nd the witness acknowledged that they
were unable to give any facts. 1t is under
stood that the investigation will drag along
until Congress adiourns, and that then per-
mission will be given to sit during recess.
In that case the whisky bill will not be
considered until next year.

REDUCING THE REVENUE.
Kelley Kieking-He Will Introduce His
Bill al the First Opportunity.

WASHINGTON, June A.-Judge Kelley,
who has been worried for the past few
weeks by his inability to find place for
the internal revenue bill in the business
of the House, said yesterday, II will call
up the bill at the first opportunity, as soon
as the bill now before the House is disposed
Of. do not propose to be guided by the
edicts of the Republican steering commit
tee. 1t is monstrous. 1t is revolution
airy that a committee appointed
by the party caucus shall say
to the representatives of the people what
measures they may or may not consider.
There was no act of the French revolution
more subversiye of the rights of the con-
stitutional government than the right as
sumed by this steering committee. 1
have given notice everywhere of what in
tend to do, and as the internal revenue
measure is privileged report, l will have
no trouble in raising the question of con-
sideration with it against any other bill
Nm inns connection il is proper to say that
local interests are pulling and hauling the
majority in the House in various direc-
tions, and il is more than likely that on
the subject of internal taxation there will
be something of division. prominent
member of the Ways and Means and Busi-
ness Committee said to-day, 1T is we'll
known fact that if, in defiance of the die
tates of the caucus, any Republican should
propose in the House an amendment to the
internal tax bill, cutting down the tax
upon whisky and tobacco, large number
OF Republicans, guided by individual inter:
ests, would readily support it. There
is a great division OF sentiment upon
this question, and members represent
ing those interests demanding reduction
of taxation upon liquor and tobacco, under
stood that it will be to their personal in
terest TO follow the desires of their constit-
uents rather than the dictates Of the eau
Gus, 1t is known that Judge kelley's
views differed from those of the Republican
members in regard to this matter, and as he
has already began to show dislike for the
caucus action, it is not unlikely that he
may lead a revolt of some magnitude in
this matter. A failure on the part or the
majority to make q reduction en- taxation
would undoubtedly result in its injury in
the coming campaign. There is an evi
IDENTIFY popular demand for it that will not
be stayed, and it is highly important that
some steps be taken in this direction before
Congress adjourns.

Trying to Work Up An Arthur Boom
Special Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-It has been mo-
ticed tor some time, that those papers near.
est to the administration, have been per-
sistently calling attention to the message
of President Arthur on the necessity OF
liberal appropriations for the improvement
of the Mississippi. The general drift OF the
articles is the scheme forshadowed by the
President is the grandest measure, affect
ing the material interests of the country
ever proposed since the purchase of Loui-
siana. The long struggle of Senators and
Representatives of the Mississippi valley
to secure the creation OF permanent Mis-
SiSsippi river commission, their constant,
persistent and successful efforts to obtain
the adoption of q definite
and accepted plan of improvement,
and the history of the legislation OF the last
four years are all ignored by the organs OF
the President, and he is semi-otheially pa
raded as the protector of the improvement
of the Mississippi. The organs declare
that the Presidents message has deep
political significance" 1t is we'll known
that Mr.. Arthur. and his cabinet and other
Republican managers expected that the
message, when read in Congress and
throughout the country, would cause
something like political sensation. They
eagerly looked for its effects, but they have
been disappointed. The people-psrticu-
larly of the Mississippi Yalley-sccepted
the document as a sort Of matter'ofco
affair. The Republican managers who have
charge of the Southern campaign are now
engoged in a strong effort to build up an
Arthur party in that section on the MissiS-
sippi River message as a platform.

wound, Williams seized rock and struck
Sam in the head, breaking his skull and
knocking him senseless. The blood gushed
in profusion from Sans mouth, eyes, nose
and ears, but Williams, covered with blood,
struck the PROSTATE man with another
rock. He was then taken home by his
friends, who had arrived on the grounds.

CIR ner, who came to town for physician
to ress his fathers wounds. At the time

been made by leading Democrats. Two OF
the members have made this canvass with
in a few days, and as the result OF their in
quiries have figured out Democratic ma
iority of ten in the next House. They
reach this conclusion by counting on sure
gains, as follows: In connectidut South
Carolina, Illinois, West Virginia, Mississip-
pi and California, one each; Texas and
Pennsylvania, five each; Indiana and Ohio,
three each; New York two and Missouri
four. They expect to make other gains in
such States as Massachusetts,, Maine and
New Hampshire, bnt these do not enter
into the figures on which they base prob
able majority of ten. The only State in
which they expect loss is Nevada, and
they think the chances are that they will
lose the one Representative there. The re-
suits as reached by these gentlemen, with
the figures as given above, have been sent
to the various State Executive Committees
in the South.
