HARTFORD. July Ex-senator Plat In an In
terview to-day said:
Judging from my experience with former
Congresses. the people who entertain the
idea that Congress will assemble and re-
peal part or the whole OF the Sher-
man law quickly apd then adjourn arc
likely to find themselves mistaken. There
are three contested seats in tho Senate. and
the filling OF them may possibly determine
whether the Senate will have maj GRITTY In favor
of repcnl. The first thing to do is to determine
whether the Senators appointed by the Gov
ernors OF Washington. Wyoming. and Mon
tana. after their Legislatures tried but failed
to elect. are to be given their seats. II they
nre. the free-coinaGe Senators will DO
one stronger than now. believe the appoint
ment of these Senators by the Governor I'M
constitutional. and that they are not entitled
to seats. 1t will take considerable time to set
tie that question.
Then 1t must be rememb ered that there is
NO previous question in the Senate. and any
Senator can speak to any question as often and
as long as he chooses: Senators opposed to
repeal will undoubtedly avail themselves Of
their right OF unlimited debate to it's fullest
extent
sponsible for legislation now. need scarcely
say that have no confidence 10 the wisdom or
capacity of the Democratic party either to en-
act or to execute wise laws"

. surplus revenue OF about S2.O0O.00O at the
close OF the last fiscal year. June 30. Until the
ohcial statement OF the total receipts and ex-
penditures was prepared It was fenred that
