The Senate Committee Changes VIII
Cause d Hot Debate.


WASHINGTON, May 23-The Senate Com
merce Committee proposes to call up the
river aud harbor bill in the Senate next
week. The committee will try TO keep the
bill within the limits they have fixed. They
believe that the President will sign 1t If 1t
goos TO him carrying no more money than
IL does now, but If 10 is increased a million
or two, as IL would bsIf all the amendment
proposed by the Senators should be adopted,
the President would most certainly veto II.
The Southern Senators, except those from
Go1rgIo, are very much disturbed y
what they term the unjust discrml-
nation against them In the changes made by
the Commerce Committee in the bill. They
propose TO fight them vigorously in the
Senate The South Carolina Senators are
especially dispieased because the 100000
appropriation for Wingat bay was entirely
cut Off. The Southern Senators generally
soc the hand Of Chairman Frye, OF the
Commerce Committee, in the increased
appropriation for Maine and tho decreased
appropriations for most OF the Southern
Stotes. There is likely to be some lively
talk about it In the Senate.

The Party Now Hopeful of Patching
Up Measure of It's Own.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-As far as a party
can be regarded as bound by the action Of a
conference, as distinct from caucus, the
Republican Representatives in the House
have formally decided TO decline to accept
Mr. Mills proposition to dispense with con-
sideraton of the tariff bill under the five
minute rule.
The Democratic members Of the Ways
and Means Committee are hard at work
upon the amendments proposed by the
Democrats, endeavoring TO dispose of them
before the end of the week, 80 that the
House can enter upon consideration OF the
bill for amendment next week.
The Republicans are confident that they
will be able to agree upon substitute for
the Mills bill, and the conference has already
outlined several OF the leading points Of the
measure, but it is their present plan TO
allow consideration Of the pending bill TO
run along ulder the five minute rule for
some time in order TO fully disclose in the
debate the sentiments Of all Of the members
Of the party.

THE PLATFORM.
The report of committee on resolutions
was presented and adopted as follows:
The Democracy Of the State of Illinois, in
convention assembled, earnestly indorse the
administration acts of President Cleveland
They deem him to have proved himself bv his
wise ana conservative course, and by his faith
ful and efficient discharge of his official duties
worthy OF the confidence of all people, and en-
titled to the loyal support of that
political party whose illuStrious leader he
is. The public good demands his denomination
and reelection to the chief magistracv of the
nation. They admire his candor and applaud
MS courage in voicing, in his recent message to
Congress upon the present tariff, the Demo
cratic doctrine that the constitutional taxing
power OF the government is exhausted when the
government has by means of it eXacted from
the people a sufficient amount of revenue to
meet the necessary expenses of the government
economically administered. In the raising of
such revenue they insist that the government
lay It's taxes in such manner as to make as
far as practicable, the luXures rather than the
necessities of life bear the burden of govern
ment expenses, and that they be not levied in
s6ch manner as to creSte class distinction and
promote business favorltism, and breed trusts
and mOnopOlies.
The people of Illinois call upon Congress to
make provision for the construction OF great
national water way between the great lakes and
Mississippi river sufficient for the largest inland
commerce. and for naval defense The Democ-
racy of Illinois requests the National Conven-
ton to make this question part of its declara-
ton and platform.
A resolution vas also adopted thanking
President Cleveland for appointing Hon.
M. w. Fuller Chief Justice of the United
States.
Andrew Welch. of Kendall, was nomi-
mated for Auditor of Public Accounts,
Charles H. Wacker, of Cook, for State
Treasurer, and Jacob r. Creighton, of

Arrears of Pensions q Dilemma Be-
fore tho House Committee.
WASHINGTON, May ga dilemma con-
fronts the House Committee on Rules in
the shape of the arrears of pensions bill,
which threatens to prove as embarrassing
as was the direct tax bill. Representative
johnson, of Indiana, has introduced a reso-
lu ion, which is now before the committee,
making the pension bill the special order
for Friday, with provision that it's CON
sideration shall continue in the House from
day TO day. until the bill is finally voted
upon. Heavy pressure is being brought TO
bear upon the Committee on Rules to re-
port this resolution along with a number of
other special orders
WOULD PROBABLY PASS.
II the committee yields, it is believed that
the bill would pass the House upon the final
vote. The large appropriation required in
that event would negative the idea of tariff
reduction. On the other hand, should the
opponents of the measure, as in the case of
the direct tax bill, succeed in defeating ac-
ton upon tho bill, it may be at
the expense of the tariff bill. AS
defeat will have to be accomplished
through the adoption Of filibustering tao
tics, which would consume an indefinite
period Of time, the mere pendency OF the
resolution jeopardizes all other special
orders, for if any such should be reported
from the Committee on Rules, a motion
might be made in the House, with success,
TO amend il so as TO assign time for the con
sderation of the arrears bill.
