Munro, of Deaison, Tex, filed suit against
the International and Great Northern

The suit is brought TO declare invalid

injunction compelling them to operate it,,
giving the International and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas equal privileges over

sUNDRY CIVIL EXPENSES.
The House Devotes Another Day to
the Bill

Washington, March 17.-The House to-
Sayers, dem, of Texas, went into COM
mittee of the whole to consider the sundry
civil appropriation bill, with Mr. Lester,
dem, of Georgia, in the chair
BY unanimous consent IL was decided
to take up the amendment to the blu pro
posed by the committee on the judiciary,
consideration of the Missouri river com
mission and soldiers home appropriation
being postponed until Monday.
The first amendment which was agreed
to was as follows: No fees shall be paid
to any marshal for the execution of any
warrant from United States commits
slOucr, unless the same shall have been
executed within sixty days after the war
rant was issued
No other amendment was successful
Several were defeated, ruled out on points
OF order or dropped.
INTERNAL REVENUE LAW vIoLAToRs.
MIR. Settle, rep, Of Pennsylvania
moved TO strike out the paragraph appro-
priating $50, 600 for detecting and bring
ing to punishment violatOrs of the inter
nal revenue laws. He said that now, at a
Clne when policy OF re
trenchment is enforced on every
OGLlCi lllG, lue COuultJec has uOuD-
led the appropriation for this item, which
has for years been made in the sundry
civil bill. His primary objection to the
increase and to the whole item, Mr.. Set
Tile said, was that 1T
was wholly unnecessary. There
We're 9l9 commissioned internal revenue
officers III North Carolina, besides deputy
marshals, and those who are known as
from 10" and award men, who were
# cf q ,fof .; 5e
cusslon. The money arising out of the
appropriation, Mr.. Settle said, was
largely used as a corruption fund, and led
to the reporting of purely technical viO-
latlOns OF the law, to the great EN- barrasS-
ment and often loss of innocent persons.
NO INCREASE OF OFFICERS NECESSARY.
No argument has been adduced, he said,
to show that an increase of officers was
necessary He had read from the clerks
desk an extract from. the platform adopted
at a recent democratic state convention,
asking for the abolition of the internal
revenue system as a war tax and a griev-
GUS burden upon the people. This extract,
he said, showed how the democ-
racy of North Carolina regarded
the internal revenue law. Those
who were familiar with political condi-
tions there knew tnat the Democratic
party was committed to the abolition of
these taxes. Yet with the party in con-
troll of the government they not only con
tinued them, but increased them, and now
| they proposed increasing the corruption
fund by an additional appropriation OF
$25, 900.
The committee rose and the special or
der for the day, eulogies upon the late
Representative w. H. Enochs, of Ohio
who died in July last, was taken up
Eleven members pronounced brief eulo
gies upon their departed friend and CO
worker and then at 300 o'clock the
House adjourned until noon Monday.

Upon Their Am endments.
Washington, March 17.-With the ex-
ception of matter of small detail, the
democratic members of the finance COM
mittee of the Senate this afternoon came
to a conclusion concerning all the amend
ments they propose to make to the tariff
bill they recently laid before the
republican members. These will
be offered in the committee Mon
day morning, and if the discussion
they will produce be limited, and the nee
essary votes can be taken the same day,
the bill will be reported Tuesday morn
ing, and at the latest Wednesday morn
ing. 1t was also settled that the bill
should be called up for debate on Mon
day, April 2. This result was not reached,
however, without a spirited discussion
and the indications were at one time that
the meeting of the full committee would
cease to be characterized by that good
humor that has prevailed up to this time.
What the bill viii be when it is finally
reported can be briefly stated. Coal, iron
and lead ore and lead products remain as
the committee made them at first. on the
dutiable list; the duty on cigars and
cigarettes will be restored to what it is

tax and the bonded period stand

TO the higher grades of sugar. The ad-
ministratiye features of the bill have
been changed until they now stand al
most Identical with the present law, the
democrats going so far as to strike out
their own proviso that allows the lowest
rate instead of the highest on goods
coming under the similitude clause of the
bill. A number of items in the frui.

put on the dutiable list by the Senate
committee, have been placed where they
