Should this bill become law those now

of any tax. None but the manufacturer and

WAsHINGToN, Jan. :12.-There seems to be
small hopes of any agreement between the
President and the Senate Republicans, how
ever much they may hope for it. Yesterday
afternoon two or three Republican Senators
went TO the White House at the invitation
OF the President, and talked with him over
the whole subject. The President said he
desired the heads of the different depart
ments to furnish all the papers on file in re-
lation to the appointments, but held that
the Senate had no right to demand
the causes for the suspension OF Of
fieials. From a political standpoint the
matter seems TO have narrowed down to this
issue, whether or not a majority OF the Sen
ate can compel the executive officers of the
Government TO furnish the committee of the
Senate with all the papers they may call for
on file IN the departments, and the Repub-
hcan Senators claim that thev have a right
to any paper on file in the departments and
on this they will stand together
1t is now stated that all noll-contested
nominations before the Senate have been
confirmed, and the others are likely TO be
laid over indefinitely until the course is de-
termined upon by the majority.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The war between

resolution without opposition calling for
papers showing cause for removals. The
question of the confirmation of United States
District Attorney Bennett, of Alabama, was
Up, and in which, it is supposed, will be
made a test case. The fact that the resolu-
ton met with no opposition would imply
that the President has said to the Democrats
he viii furnish the Republican Senate with

complete back down by the President.
