Notes.
WASHINGTON. ID. G.. Aug. IL special f.
Representative Reyburn, Of Philadelphia,
has Joined Mr.. liOsmer and Senators Cam
eron and Quay in openly opposing the Force
bill. He says he is convinced that it is a
vicious piece oflegislation, and that its pass
age would seriously cripple all investments
aud business interests i'm the South. Mr.
Heyburn says that after comforting with the
business men Of Philadelphia he feels II 10
be- his duty to exert his influence To defeat
the DaycnpOrt-L Lodge bill or any legislation
of that character. Should the measure ever
get far enough along 10 come before the
House in a conference report, Mr.. Reyburn
will vote against il. But ii Will never
reach that advanced stage. Senator's Quay
and Cameron have joined Senator'S Teller,
Plumb. ard others. in opposing the bill.
Another delegation OF Pennsylvania capi-
taisis visited senator Quay several even
ings since. individually demanded that he
should cndcayOr 10 mt an end 10 the aglta-
tion over a Force bill. They said that in
Virginia alone not less than Slj,oo,OOO Of
PENNSYLVANIA capital is invested, while in
Alabama. Georgia, Tennessee, and other
Southern states there is, perhaps, a. much
more Pennsylvania money engaged
in developing that section. The
spokesman of the delegation stated that
already capital feels the injurious ELECTS OF
the present agitation. lie said that the
flow of capital 10 the South has been
checked awaiting the outcome Of the pend
ing legislation. This demand of Pennsyl-
yania capitalists only confirmed senator
quay in his opposition, ana as senator Cam
eron is in the league ii grows palmer than
ever that the Force bill is practically dead.
LOTTERY BILL AMENDED.
The Senate POstOiicc Committee has
adopted an amendment 10 the anti-lOttery
bill The banker, and brokers called at
tcntion To the point that the bill as reported
prohibited the transmission Of any news
papers through the mails, containing any
advertisement smacking Of lotteries,
or Of enterprises Of that nature.
some Of the bankers called the
committees attention TO the fact
that some Of the foreign loan concerns have
Gift enterprises or lotteries connected with
them. and that the passage of the bill would
tend 10 prevent the placing of foreign loans
i'm this country. The bill has been amended
so as 10 relieve II Of this construction, ana
with the view of Fastening its passage all
the other anli-ottery bills have been in
definitely postponed.
SENATOR DANIEL.
senator Daniel delivered another interest
inc and telling speech tO-dTy. lie was in
terrupteG by lIiscock and several other Re
publcans who fllttercd themselves that they
might confuse the Virginia orator upon
tariff questions. but he demonstrated his
ability 10 hold bis TOWN against all -comers.
FIRING ~ THE AIR.
Neither the senate nor the House Is turn
ing out any news these days. The senate
is banging away on the tarih, and the
House is firing in the air. As matter OF
fact. the House is accomplishing nothing,
or next 10 nothing. As rule, the commit
tees are not turning out any legislation,
because there is no chance Of passing any
new bills.
