and it ought to be easy matter tor

long enough to do it.
1t will be a long time before
those who heard Senator Vest,
Ia the course of a very belligerent
speech antagonizing the course OF
President Cleveland on the tariff
DILL, tell what Senator Hil1s de-
teense of the President reminded
him OF will forget either the words
or their reception by tue Senate
and crowded galleries. Mr.. Vest
said: "The speech Of the Senator
from New York reminds me OF a
desperate murder case in winch l
was counsel for Che defense, and
where was Obliged 70 p'eld the
abnormal moral weakness and OBJ
obliquity Of ny client which

Representative M9lklti )hn, of
Nebraska, has introduced in the
House a bill imposing a duty OF
500 on each and every alien i'm
migrant arriving Ill the u. s.,
excepting those who cone at the
request of a relative who Is cltl-
zen of the L. 5. The exception
noted is interesting IN view of the
recent ruling of the |. S. Com
missioner of Immigration, that 1t
is a violation of the alien con.
tract labor law for foreign born
citizens of the L. S. to send for
their relatives in Europe and
promise to obtain or give them
employment on their arrival.
The gold reserve in the Treasury
is down to SCI, 100000 which is
lower by several millions than it
has been since the reserve fund
was established, but 1t does not
seem to be worrying any OF the
officials to any marked extent.
The Senate committee on Ter.
ritorles has practically decided to
favOraOly report the bill for the
admission of Arizona and New
Mexico, but whether action can
be had upon them at the present
session Will depend largely upon
circumstances yet to be developed.
The sugar trust investigation
has been reopened for the purpose
of investigating the charge made
in the New York Herald that GER
tain Senators perjured themselves
when they testified under oath
that they had never bought stock
OF the sugar trust. While this
charge is in line with rumors
which have been current here since
the Senators testified, it IS regar.
ded as very doubtful whether it
can be substantiated by legal evil
dence. In fact it IS believed that
such evidence is I'm existence, bat
| that it will be hell over The heads
of guilty Senator's ipr lobbying
purposes instead OF being submit
ted to the investigating committee.
One reason for this belief is that
when it was given out that the
committee would not reopen the
investigation the guilty ones were
frightened 6y published story in
tlmatng that this evidence would
be used before a Grand Jury to
get an indictment for perjury
against a Senator. Ifan unscrup.
ulous person had an order for the
purchase of sugar stock, written
aDd signed by Senator who has
sworn that he never bought any
of the stock, 1t is easy to imagine
that it wOCld be a powerful whip.
