THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March l9 The chances
are that the Blair educational bill Will not
get consideration in the House st sll this
session. 1t is generally understood that
the President would veto the bill if
passed srd 1t is party Lo.icy with tie
Democrats to relieve him from
this necessity. The popularity of
the measure in the south might
secure It's passage II 8 vote were reached
In the House and for that reason it will
probably be killed In committee. As yet
the bill hiss not been acted upon by even
the sub.cOmm tee and when they Gave
flashed with it it Will still remain
for the whole committee TO
act. The subcommittee were to have
met on Saturday to take up the bill. Two
members only appeared, and the indies
lions are that there will not be quorum
present ut any time during the session,
or, If at all, not until it is too late to hope
for action.

MAJORITY AND MINoRITY REPORTS.
WASHINGTON, March l9 The bill in
trcduced by Mr.. FRYE to apply the laws
of the -everai states relsting to the sale
of distilled aud fermented liquors to such
liquors when they have been imported as
well es whtn manufactured In the United
States, was reported adversely by Senator
George to-day from the committee
on judiciary. A minority report WAS also
printed. After a long discussion OF the
question the majority came 10 the follow
1pg conclusion: It should not be over
looked that the province state control ever
what concerns police regulations, ID 1meetic
health, domestic peace and general good
order and we'll being within each state is
under the constitution as secure sgainst
intrusion from federal authority as the
regulation of foreign commerce by the
general government Is from encroach-
ment on th8t province by state
authority. In the opinion of the commit
tee it is best to leave this question as Ii
now Is, judicial one, in the highss. in
terest OF both the federal regulstlon Cf
commerce and the state control OF It's
police authority.
