Supreme Court to day the case oil
the Phoenix Fire Insurance Com.
pany, of New York, VS.. NJ. A. Pol

The court in very able opinion
sustains the act and decides il
constitutional. The act cannot be
taken advantage of after the 12tl

The Morrison Bill To Be abandoned.
Especial to Times Democrat.

Especial TO Times Democrat.
Washington, May 1O.-Mr. Hew.
lit is getting his administrative
tariff bill in shape to be passed up
pom as a separate measure. Ho
sees that it cannot become a law
linked to the Morrison bill, aud he
seeks to relieve it of that deadly
incumbrance. 1t is a measure
that, taken upOn its individual
merits, will prove acceptable to
the House. 1t has been carefully
prepared by the aid OF the Secre.
tary of the Treasury. aud il pro.
vides for the intelligent correction
of a number of evils now COM
planned of in the administration of
the law. Mr.. Randall will support
it, as will also the Republican
leaders.
Another reason for assuming
that the Morrison bill has practi.
cally been abandoned is the OK.
preston of Speaker Carlisle to.
day that Congress ought to be
able to adjourn by the Goth of
June. This clearly gives no time
for a protracted debate on any
proposition, and very little more
time than will be necessary simply
to pass the appropriation bills.
The Speaker evidently is not in
sympathy with the proposition to
spend part of the summer here de.
hating n bill which, even should ii
pass the House, could not become
u law, and yet he has less occasion
to hurry home than Mr.. Morrison.
The re nomination of the former is
a foregone conclusion, while the
return of the latter is said to be
problematical.
