There is little prospect of the passage
OF the bill to extend the time for the
payment of the Union Pacific debt to
the government. The senate caucus COM
mittees of both parties have agreed to
give other measures preference and have
laid out enough work to last the whole
session without including this bill is the
programme. In the house the prospects
are just az favorable. Randall is de-
termined to OCCUPY all of the time with
appropriation bills until they are passed
and then adjourn. Morrison declared
when his tariff bill was denied consider.
alton that he would antagonize every
measure except appropriation bills until
the house was willing to do something
toward tariff reform, and at this stage of
the session, even if the two leaders of the
house had not set themselves against the
bill, it would be difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to get up a Measure that will meet
with his decided opposition and a fierce
a debate. The house is full Of spscu-
lators who are on the bear side of the
market, and scarcely an opportunity is
lost to throw in something, that will hit
the stock. These men will fight and
fllbuster to pervent consideration of the
Union Pacific extension bill, and the
house is not IN q temper to take up a
measure that will cause q waste of time.
Everybody wants to adjourn and 60
home. The railroad committee still
claim to have q hope and expectation
that the bill will be taken mp and passed
but it will be a miracle if they succeed.
1t is understood that the president
will return tho nomination of Judge
Shields, of Alpena, Mich, to the senate
to be chief ~justice of Arizona, which
was unanimously rejected by the senate.
Attorney General Garland, Senator
Pugh, and MIR. Montgomery, commits
sioner of patents, who is an intimate
friend of Shields, and secured his ap-
pointment originally, have been in con-
sultation and have advised the president
to take this course, their reasons being
that Shields was not Informed that there
were charges pending against him and
was not given an opportunity to reply
to them. This is the point over which
the president and the senate have been
lighting. The senate has held that the
president has NO right to remove officials
upon charges which they are not per-
united to answer, and the report of the
Judiciary committee on the Edmunds
resolution deals at length upon the
injustice of such action, holding that the
president has removed many faithful
officials upon secret information without
investigation or an opportunity for the
accused to vindicate himself. In Shields
case the circumstances ore reversed; the
senate assumed the right the president
has exercised, and rejected Shields upon
charges against him by the bar of Ari-
IONA, representing both parties. II ia
SAID that the committee asked that their
charges be kept secret, and that the
names of those who made them should
not be communicated to Shields, as they
were praoticing in his court daily, and
believed the knowledge that they were
opposing the confirmation would
prejudice the interests Of their clients.
Nearly all the members of the bar OF the
territory joined in the charges, and
claimed that Shields was incompetent
to perform the duties.
