Washington, Sept. 2G.-In the senate
yesterday afternoon Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, excoriated President Cleveland
for his dictatorial policy and for the at
tempt which had been made by one
branch of the government to coerce and
rule a coordinate branch. He declared
that this had tendency to centralize
power, was subversiye of good govern
ment and in direct opposition to tho pro
visions of the constitution of the United
States. He also criticized the presidents
address at the celebration of the 1OOtl
anniversary of tho corner stone laying O
the capitol and called the press of the
country to witness the fact that they con
sidered it rebuke and an insult to tbs
senate. Mr.. Stewart compared the
president to the Stuart line of kings ir
England and read extensively from
Macauley's history, detailing the parlia
mentary struggle with those monarchE
for constitutional liberty. He also rcat
number of Mr.. Cleyeland's utterances
as reported in the newspapers to prove
the position lie had taken. The senator
spoke two hours and a half and will con
clude his speech tomorrow.
RUMORED DEAL.
The rumor is revived bat not ve,iiie,
that the advocates of repeal in the SENATE
had formulated plan by which they Will
force a vote on the silver bill. The pla,
is not disclosed, but it is ntimuted that
it is some arbitrary method.
WON'T ENFORCE IT.
The speaker laid before tho house yes
terday afternoon a letter from Attorney
General Olncy with reference to the ell
forcement of tho Chinese exclusion act.
Government officers generally have
been instructed not to enforce tho Geary

was manifested in the house when this
communication was received.

A LONG WAY OFF.
The Democratic members of the ways
and means committee have made no effort
as yet to get together and agree upon the
outline of tho new tariff bill. They say
they are waiting for information from the
treasury and other departments, which
they have called for as to thareyenues,
ETC., necessary to be provided. The first
question to bo decided is the amount of
revenue to be raised by the new bill.
This will involve an immediate determine
tion of tho question whether Gov. Snyer's
proposition to repeal the laws creating
tho sinking fund shall be adopted.

left Tompkinsville for Rio de Janerio. 1t

The house considered the printing bill
yesterday and Mr.. Dingley managed to
secure the adoption OF all amendment
prohibiting the copyright of government
publications..
The opposition to tho appointment of

ador to Italy. is growing in proportions.
1t is within the compass of possibilities
that his nomination will be defeated in the

against the unconditional repeal OF the
Sherman law. Repeal has practically
been given up and u compromise is now
