While he was gratitied that Congress
carried out the ideas expressed in his
message by Internationally repeating
the purchasing clause Of the Sherman
silver law, his qualification was tlnged
with regret because a majority of the
democratic Senators voted against re-
peal; but he bears them no ill-will for
having done so, believing them to be
as honest in their opinions as he is in

President is 100 big man to engage
! in that sort of business. When the
vote was taken on the Voorhees, bill
the contest was ended, and the demo-
cratic Senators who voted against it
will in the future receive precisely the
, same consideration from the President
that they would have gotten had they
voted for it, know that to be frue."

making their preparations to step
down and out This expectation has
kept considerable number OF Sena-
tors and Representatives in Washing

The adjournment of Congress will not
result in q vacation for the democratic
members OF the House Ways and Means
committee, on the contrary. they are
working harder than ever, as it is
their intention to get the new tariff
bill completed at as early day as pos
sible. Daily sittings of the committee
are now being held, under resolution
adopted by the House. and chairman
Wilson hopes to be able to furnish the
republican minority of the committee
| with copy of the completed bill in
about Two weeks, so that they may
have time enough to prepare their re.

majority and minority reports may be
