Mr. Culbertson, chairman of the House
judiciary Committee. talking this morning
about the bill introduced in the House day
before yesterday in reference TO Internal
revenue, and which was referred to the APP
propriations committee as slight upon the
Ways and Means Committee for its non
action upon various bills OF similar charac
ter that have been referred to it,said the APP
preparations committee had full power to
report it ard have it put on the calendar
when it could be taken up and acted
that committee would do anything that
the business of the WAYS and Means
committee. At least, said he, they will do
nothing in the line of such bill until they
find that nothing W II be done in that li"e
by the tariff bill. In that case, said he, il
may be that the internal revenue part of
the Mills hill may be passed, at least so
much of it rs provides for the removal of
the tax on leaf tobacco, and the special Ii
cense tax on liquor He said he and many
other democrats would be willing TO vote
for such proposition il they found that
nothing esa in the line could be accom-
plished. With reference to the Senate Tar
i'll bill, he said, there ia no chance of lis
passage, and that even Mr. Cowles would
not vote for il, though it included the pre-
visions OF his bill.
Every Senator when he took his seat
to day saw on his desk petition asking for
the passage of g law prohibiting the running
of cars on Sunday As in duty hound every
Senator presented these petitions, and all,
except Senator Rddleberger, did so with
out comment That Senator, however,
took occasion to remark that rs no other
Senator had done so. he would say that ne
was utterly and entirely opposed to the object
of the petitioners; that he,nor anybody else,
bound to Washington by railroad on
Sunday would like to be stopped at the
city's limits and detained there until Mon
day Those, he said, who think it sin to
travel on Sunday should not do So but they
had no right to prevent other people from
travelling on Sunday who do not think that
such travelling is sin. Es was opposed he
said, to this and oil similar attempts to re-
strict the personal rights of free and indie
pendent citizens.
The conference committee on the Ncara-
guam canal bill is still in session, having %
yet been unable to agree upon report, the

I[cuse conferrees being equally as persistent
in their demands that those amendments be
retained.
