TARIFF AND FIKANoR.
Congress Has Plenty Of Work to Do Be

Congress Has Plenty of Work to Do BE-
fore 1t Adjourns.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-It has been
decided that it is impracticable to let
the tariff question 20 over to the regular
session by adjourning congress as soon
as the silver question ID settled, 80 work
on tariff bill will soon begin. The
ways and means committee will give
hearings from September 4th to Goth,
then proceed to frame a bill. Chairman
Wilson hopes to have the bill ready for
consideration by the house by Novem-
Der.
Another urgent question may have
to be considered before this. The
monetary stringency has caused such
falling off in receipts from internal
revenue, customs and other sources that
the daily receipts of the government, are
now falling 100000 short of the COM
pulsory expenditures for pensions and
ordinary expenses OF the government.
Already a deficiency OF 100000 to
$11, 600, 900 is in sight. The situation
cannot be met by economy as these ex-
penses are obligatory under the law.
The alternatives before congress to meet
the situation are limited to three: New
issue OF government bonds, an income
tax or some such new impost or increase
of ratio in some existings forms OF taxa
tion.

EXTRAORDINARY ACTION

Judge Goggin Raises Scene in COURT.
He Reverses tho Decision of His
Two Colleagues-was He

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.--An extraordinary
scene was witnessed in the superior
court this morning. In the absence of
Judge Stein. who issued an order forbid
ding the closing of the worlds fair gates
on Sunday, the management applied to
Judge Goggin to dissolve the order. He
called Judges Dunno and Brentans to
sit with him. They agreed that the or
der should be dissolved. Goggin held it
should be continued in force. At the
opening of the court this morning he
directed the clerk to enter an order con-
tinuing the case 60 days, or till after
the close of the fair. Judge Dunno in
sisted on his right to read the opinion Of
thu majority and did 80. Their after o
wordy wrangle, q private conference Of
the three judges was held, at the close
of which Goggin announced that he no
longer desired the other judges to sit
with him. They retired and Goggin
overruled the motion to dissolve, and
refused to set n date for hearing OF a
motion TO vacate the order. Goggin
afterwards gave as the reason for his
extraordinary action, that to set aside
Judge STEMS order would cause the
people to lose confidence in the Judiciary.
Judge Goggin made long rambling
address TO the audience in the court.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The silver
men stole march on their opponents
in the house today, and gained victory
which makes 1t impossible for the gold
men to impede confederation Of bimetal-
lie or financial legislation that may be
reported by the committees on,coinaee,
weights and measures, and banking and
currency, during the coming session.
The time-honored custom in the house
has been to make reports of the COM
mittees on appropriations and ways and
means privileged matters, and when the
new rules were being considered today,
Springer. chairman OF the committee on
banking and currency, suddenly sprung
an amendment extending the same
favoritism to the committee on banking
and currency, Kilgore Immediately
followed with an amendment also in
cluding the committee on coinage, and
although these amendments were
sharply opposed. the last was adopted
by vote of 1873 yeas to 95 nays, and the
original rule as amended adopted by a
vote OF nearly two to one. Not until it
was all over did the members of the
house generally realize the immense ad-
vantage gained by the bimetallists.
Under this rule the committee on coin
age can report silver bill at any time
and force its consideration by the house,
and the committee on banking and cur
rency will enjoy the same facilities for
forcing it's measures TO q vote in the
house, Incidentally, also. the house by
the adoption OF these amendments has
broken away from the leader
ship of the committee on rules,
presided over by Speaker Crisp.
and declared it shall no longer
be in the power Of that committee to de-
termine whether q free coinage bill shall
be accorded consideration, or whether
the attention Of the house shall be di-
rected to other legislation.
An amendment to increase the mem
bership of the committee ON rules was
lost.
An amendment was adopted giving
the committee on ways and means juris-
diction over all measures purporting to
raise revenues.
Several other amendments affecting
committees were lost.
A motion to strike from the proposed
rules the clause which permits the
speaker to decide what ia dilatory
motion, was discussed at length pro and
con, and was finally rejected.
An amendment was then offered
which puts it in the power OF any MEM
ber who is in charge OF any proposition
on the floor to propose the cloture at
any time he thinks it advisable to do 30.
The previous question was ordered on
the amendment and pending further &C.
ton the house adjourned.

Wolcott Speaks in Opposition to tn
silver Repeal Bill.

Wolcott Speaks in Opposition to the
silver Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-The senate
this morning took up the house bill for
the repeal of the Sherman act. VOL
colt of Colorado spoke against it. After
considerable persiflage in which he
twitted various senators on their change
of views ON the silver question to suit
the ideas Of the administration, he
declared Hill's speech might have been
as we'll made against silver, as he knew
free coinage was impossible by separ-
ate act under this administration. He
quoted former utterance of Voorhees,
to show the inconsistency of that
senator on the silver question.
He declared Voothees and Sherman were
for the first time in accord; that Sher-
man would be, in fact, chairman of the
finance committee instead Of Voorhees,.
All the senators knew Cleveland would
veto any independent silver coinage
measure. He warned them that il this
bill was passed the free silver men might
vote against protection in any form. II
seemed unacconntable that in a panic
banks should object to an increase Of the
volume of money. Their plan after re-
peal was to ask and probably get an is
cue of 500 ,000, 900 gold bonds.
The speaker then proceeded to contro-
vert the arguments OF over production
of silver in the world at big profit.
He showed that in the case of Leadville
104, 100000 ounces of silver were pro-
duced at cost of $l21, SOC, 900, the loss
being changed to only fair profit by
the value OF other products. If only
the silver states were concerned they
would acquiesce without protest, but
it was national question, affecting all
parts of the country.
At the close OF Wolcott's speech Mills
gave notice that he would speak on re-
peal Wednesday. Then Caffrey of Lou
isiana spoke in favor of unconditional
repeal.
AT the close of Caffery's remarks Cul-
lom gave notice that he would address
the senate on the repeal bill next Mon
day.
A motion was made by PETER to take
up the resolution heretofore offered by
him as to national banks refusing to pay
depositors' checks in currency. Alter a
colloquy from which 1t appeared that if
Peffer's motion was agreed to in the form
in which it was made. it would displace
the repeal bill. The form was changed
30 that an appeal bill should be inform
ally laid aside, and the resolution as 10
national banks was taken up. The mo-
tion was agreed to. and then the motion
heretofore made by Voorhees, that the
resolution be referred to the committee
on finance carried--yeas 30, nays 81.

SUSPENDED PENSIONS.
Commissioner Lochran and Hoko Smith
Back Water.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Commission-
er Lochran OF the pension bureau today
issued an order modifying the practice
of the Office as to suspensions Of PEN
sions. The most important change Ia
that which directs that hereafter there
shall be no suspensions except in cases
where the record shows on ita face that
the soldier ia not entitled to any PEN
sion whatever. 1t is believed the num-
ber who come under this class is very
small.
In speaking of this new order today,
Commissioner Lochran said "The
secretary has for some time questioned
the fairness of the old practice Of the
pension bureau. which suspended PEN
sions during inquiry as to the right of
the pensioner to q pension at the rate
he was receiving. At his request the
whole matter was carefully considered,
and the present order modifying that
practice, 30 as not to suspend in doubt
full cases, has been agreed to as more
euuitable.n

them, and very little OF that. milk,
