Washington News and Notes.
From THE GLOBE Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, August 1G.-Last night
at 8 o'clock. Mr. Louis D. Pace, of
Georgia, a law clerk in the interior de-
partment, was married to Miss Fannie
NJ, Phillips, youngest daughter of Hon.
| Daniel T. Phillips, at his residence, 1917
Rhode Island avenue. The groom is a
nephew Of Senator Gordon, of Georgia,
and is a very exemplary young man.
The brides distinguished father is a son
of the late Rev. DR.. Phillips, of North
Carolina, and has many relatives
throughout the state He was appointed
solicitor general of the United States by
Gen Grant, and held the office until Mr..
Cleveland's first administration.
Mrs. Pace is very handsome woman
and deservedly popular.
Senator and Mrs. Jarvis may leave to-
morrow night for North Carolina.
That the house leaders are preparing
to adjourn is evident from the fact that
the committee on rules will report no
more orders for the consideration of bills
at this session, and business accordingly
will have to be transacted by consent.
When Senator German announced in
the senate yesterday the appointment Of
Senator Jarvis, of North Carolina, upon
several committees, Mr.. Chandler
wickedly inquired whether Mr.. German
bad announced the filling Of the vacancy
On the finance committee.
81 have not" said Mr. German, with
smile
Mr.. Jarvis goes upon the committee on
claims, public buildings, national banks
and to establish the University of the
United States.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, was ap-
pointed on the committee Of privileges
and elections, and Mr. Martin, Of Kansas,
on the committee on pensions.
The secretary Of the treasury has virtu-
ally vetoed free sugar. He has probably
also spiked the pop gun bills. The per-
sonnel of the finance committee in the
present status of tariff legislation creates
some comment.
AS at present constituted, owing to the
vacancy caused by the death of Senator
Vance, it is equally divided politically.
Senator Harris promised yesterday, that
action upon the bills, the vacancy would
| be filled The democrats, however, real
ize that with the opinion of the secre-
tary Of the treasury before them, they
cannot deliberately embarrass the treas
ury to the extent of causing a deficit Of
nearly $30000000 and if tree sugar
! bill should be reported favorably it
would have TO be accompanied by a
scheme for making good this loss. To
/ formulate such plan will take consider
! able time, and it is not likely even TO be
attempted. Apart from all this, however,
and even admitting that the bill would
come before the senate its opponents can
hlibuster until a quorum is dissipated.
| AS a matter of fact, the quorum has al
most disappeared already, and it is ex
/ pected that after today, and even posi-
bly, today, ii will be impossible to muster
a voting quorum in the senate. Besides
this, Senator Murphy stands ready to
offer a motion for indefinite postpone
ment.
Today the popgun bills and the free
sugar bill were referred to the finance
/ committee
