Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1894-06-07

the daily sessions of the Senate indicates
that the end is almost in sight. 1t is
now regarded as certain that the sugar
schedule, to be voted on this week, will
be adopted. and after its adoption there
will be little, except the income tax, left
for the minority to fight. For that rea-
son the claim that the bill will be passed
before the 10th of the month Is regarded
a reasonable one, it being taken for
granted that the republicans will not
delay the bill after they know it is
bound to pass, just for the sake Of
delay.
The House Commerce committee has
fayorably reported the bill to- permit
railroad pooling. The report claims that
pooling is In the interest Of small ship
pers and individual enterprises. There
will probably be some interesting talk
on the floor of the House before the bill
is acted upon, as there are number of
Representatives who do not endorse the
action of the committee.
This same committee is accused by
the committee Of the International Ty-
biographical Union, which is here urging
action upon the bill for the establish
ment OF Government system Of tele-
graph, Of having chung up" that bill,
and the typestickers threaten to carry
the war into the district of every mem.
Der of the committee If their bill be not
given a fair show. Representative
Wise, Of Va, is chairman Of the COM
mittee, which has a membership of II.
Resolutions have been introduced in
both Senate and House instructing the
Secretary of State to give the Russian
Government tue required six months
notice of the intention of the United
States to abrogate the extradition treaty
between the two countries. The intro.
duction of these resolutions is the work
of American Hebrews, who resent the
refusal Of the Cars government to let
them to visit Russia and have adopted
that as one Of the means OF "gettlng
even." The fact that this resolution
was introduced in the House by one Of
Mr.. Cleveland's warmest friends in that
body-Mr. Straus, Of N. Y.-sesms to
contradict the current rumor that the
administration is Indifferent concerning
Russla's treatment Of American He
brews.
1t is not probable that the debate on
the repeal OF the tax on State Bank
currency will close this week, the gen
eral impression being that vote will
not be taken until somewhere IN the
neighborhood Of the 18th inst. Since
they succeeded by vote Of l29 to As
in defeating an attempt to side track
the bill, the repealers are growing more
confident. Others regard the results as
doubtful with the chances against re-
peal. Repeal will not get single re-
publican vote and it is doubtful wheth-
er any populist will vote for 1t. Its
strength is almost entirely confined to
the democrats from the south, although
several from New York are also work
ing for repeal, it Is claimed by its
opponents, in the interest OF Wall street
which 1t Is said would welcome the
addition of forty-four new kinds Of
currency because it would thereby be
furnished with new method Of making
money-shaving the notes.
There has been a split in the army Of
the common veal. Galyln's men re-
fused to wear CoxeY badges, and Frye,
who is now in command Of Coxey's men
refused to recognize them in the issue
Of rations unless they did. The result
is two camps, neither of which has food
enough for the men. The imprison-
ment OF Coxey, Brown and Jones will
end next Saturday. but as a matter Of
principal it is said that the attempt to
get them released under habeas corpus
proceedings will not be abandoned.
