The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1894-06-09
WASHINGTON LETTER.
CFrOm our Regular Correspondent,


senator has acknowledged the corn, plead
Ing extenuatiDg circumstances, and II
one did II is probable that more did. In
fact Senator Hill intimated very strongly
In his speech In favor OF public sittings
OF the Investigating committee, his belief
that other senators had speculatsd. SEN
ator Mcpherson, OF n. j., Is the man who
acknowledges having made $1,000 by
specializing In sugar stock, the extenuat-
Ing circumstances being that he sold the
stock as soon as he realized the impro-
prlety OF his action, when he might have
made much larger profits by having held
on to 1t while longer. The testimony
OF the man who is claimed to have said
that he overheard conversation between
members OF the sugar trust aud proml-
nent senators, concerning the sugar
schedule OF the tariff bill, is to be taken
this week. 1t Is expected also that the
grand Jury, now in session, will act upon
the cases OF the newspaper correspond
ents who have refused to betray conf
dence reposed in them.
No agreement has been reached as to
when the senate will vote on the tart Fl
bill, but the fact that the democratic
managers begin this week to lengthen the
daily sessions of the senate indicates that
the end is almost in sight. II is now re-
garded as certain that the suga ar SC hedule
to be voted on this week. will be adopted
and after its adoption there will be little
except the income tax, left for the minor
ity to fight For that reason the claim
that the bill will be passed before the
twentieth OF the month is regarded as a
reasonable one, 1t being taken for granted
that the republicans will not delay the
bill after they know IL is bound to- pass,
just for the sake OF delay.
The house committee has favorably
reported the bill TO permit railroad pool
ing. The report claims that pooling is In
the interest of small shippers and indi
vidual 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 representative
who do not endorse the action OF the
committee.
This same committee is accused by the
committee OF the international Typo
graphical Union, which is here urging
action upon the bill for the establish
ment ola government system OF telegraph,
OF having chung up' that bill, and the
typestlckers threaten to carry the war
into the district OF every membr of the
committee IL their bill be not given fair |
show. Representative Wise, of Va, is
chair man Of the committee, which has |
membership of II.
Resolutions have been introduced In |
both senate and house instructing the
Secretary OF State to give the Russian
government the required six months no.
tice OF the intention of the United States
to abrogate the eytradiiion treaty be-
tween the two countries. The introduc-
ton of these resolutions is the work of
American Hebrews, who resent the refu-
sal of the Cars government to allow
them to visit Russia and have adopted
that as one of the means of "gettlng ey-
en-" The fact that this resolution was
introduced In the house by one Of Mr..
Cleveland's warmest friends 10 that body
Mr.. Straus, OF New York-seems to
the current rumor that the ad-
mi nistration Is Indifferent concerning
Russia's treatment Of the American He
brews.
1t Is not probable that the debate on
the repeal OF the tax on state bank cur
'ency will close this week, the gen eral
Impression being that a vote will not be
AIKEN until somewhere in the neighbor-
rood OF the IL inst. and as they succeed
ID by vote of 1879 to 81 IN defeating an
Ittempt to side track the bill, the repeal
RS are growing more confident. Others
egard the results as doubtful with the
hances against repeal. Repeal will not \
et single republican vote and it is
doubtful whether any populist will vote
or ii. Its strength ~ almost entirely
Onfined to the democrats from the south
Though several from New York are al a
0 working for repeal, IT is claimed by its a
pDonents, IN the interest of Wall street
'hich 1t Is said would welcome the ad-
ition Of forty-four new kinds of curren-
y because 1t would thereby be furnished {
18th new method of making money 7
having the notes. I
There has been a split In the army of v
no commonweal. Galvin's men refuse q
, wear Coxey badges, and Frye, who is
ow In command Of Coxey's men, refused 4
recognize them in the issue Of rations
Mess they did. The result is two camps
either of which mas food enough for the
en-. The Imprisonment of Coxey. Jones
I'd Browne will end next Saturday, but
matter Of principle II Is said that the
tempt to get them released under ha-
AS corpus proceedings will not be
'andoned.
