4 Our lawsmalSers on Capitol Hill
have had before them this week much
miscellaneous matter and many minor
measures. II would be less difficult
to state what questions were not
touched upon by them than to mem
| tion those that have been discussed,
In the Senate, silver has been the
chief subject of debate, but ID tho
! House, there has been little Of el-
most everything.
The President lost no time in atdxing
his signature 10 the succession bill.
This measure is thought by some 10

was originally framed and presented
by him. Failing Of passage, it was
afterward adopted By Senator Hoar
Of Massachusetts, and has taken his
name.

decided to ask for papers bearing on
removals and appointments, The
President instructed the Cabinet Off
GERS TO send such papers. The Re.
publican Senators, or rather, some Of
their managers, Edmunds, Hoar Nor
rilI and others were not satisfied with
the information contained in these
documents, and forthwith pnt on their
war paint, They got all they asked
for, bnt they want more and confessed
that there was an error in the form Of
the request for information. Soma
