upon the supplemental tariff bills.
These bills have ell been reported
by the committee, but it may
be considered necessary to discuss them
further before deciding upon a plan
OF action. The Democratic majority OF
the finance committee is on record in
favor OF the passage Of the bills and 1t
is not i'm probable the early action OF the
committee is sought to Illustrate any at
tempt to prevent consideration. This is
not altogether surmise, for it ia known
some OF the so-called conservative sena-
tors have advised that general party
conference be held after the senate con-
veneg for the consideration of this ques-
tion. The experience OF the last session
showed that whenever caucuses were
held the conservatives carried their
points, Hence there is reason for
the prompt action OF the friends OF the
supplementary bills.
There appears to be nothing outside
of financial or tariff questions likely TO
exotic ripple during the week, and it
is not certain that whatever may hap
pen later in the session, there will De
much in these lines to disturb the gen.
eral eersRity of the senate during the
next few days. After the receipt OF the
presidents message and when it gets
down to business the senate may take
up the calendar in regular order, or it
may proceed to consider out OF order
some of the more important bills which
have been reported, such as those for
the admission OF Arizona and New
Mexico, or the bankruptcy. anti-option
or Nicaragua bill.
In any event the daily sessions o. the
week will be short, with the probabilities
strongly in favor OF an adjournment
from Thursday to Monday the week
following.

GEN. SWAIN PARDoNED.

The President Remits His UnexpIrsd
Sentence.
WASHINGTON, Dec. BY direction OF
she president. Secretary Lamont today
made an order remitting the unexpired
sentence of Brig. Gen. David G. Swain.
Judge advocate general of the army, and
directing him to take station in Wash
ington city awaiting further orders from
the department. 1t is understood Gem
eral Swain will take leave of absence
and will be placed on the retired list
Dsce m bsr % next, when he will have
reached the age of 81 years.
In the latter part of 1884 charges were
brought against General Swain by A, f.
Bateman, q stock broker with whom
the general had had dealings. Bateman
had borrowed money from General
Swain and given his note for the
amount. Later, ne claimed the debt
had been wiped out by certain
stock transactions, General Swain
denied this, and transferred the
note to q third party who was asked
to bring suit on it. This man brought
the case to the attention of the eecrs-
tary OF the navy, who declared q court
martial to bs held. The court martial
struck out several OF the specifications
but by bare margin found the gen.
eral guilty of conduct unbeooming an
officer, and sentenced him to suspension
from rank and pay for one year.
President Arthur refused to accept
tnis sentence and returned the report to
tbs court. when they made it more se-
we're and re-submitted it. Three times
it was returned to them by the presi-
dent, and finally the court sentenced
General Swain to suspension on half
pay for II years.

MoNTG oMERY, Ala, Dec. 2.-In spite

enjoyed peaceful and quiet Sunday.
Moet of the visitors. including the 26

his inauguration scheme without con-

that it has unquestionably produced
friction in the ranks. The
Democratic leaders here believe
Kolb wants to put himself

to ssDd q message to the Legislature de-
manding fair election contest law. He
will, az governor, give Warren S. Reese
a certificate of election as senator, and
will issue emilar certificates to the four
or five contesting congressional candi-
