With the final disposal of this measure
the consideration of the appropriation bills
will be suspended for time and other mat
ters taken up. First of these will be the
Brawley bill to suspend the operations
of the 10 per cent. law in respect of the
clearing house certificates and other snbsti-
tutes for currency issued during the tinan-
cial crisis Of last year. An amendment is
to be offered by Mr.. Cox dem. of Ten
nessee. providing for the repeal of the law
outright, and will be the principal feature
Of the discussion. 1t is understood that
great majority of the Democrats, all the
Populists, and few of the Republicans
will vote for the amendment. Representa-
tive Everett of Massachusetts in the course
of Fridays proceedings, said he had been at
home (Boston) for several days, and while
there Learned that the sentiment of his
people on this subject was radically differ
ent from what he supposed it was. and as
result of the information derived from tbi,
personal contact with his constituents, he
should probably vote to repeal the law.
One of the Mary land delegation, which
has been generally solidly opposed to re-
peal, is now said to favor the Cox amend
mint. These two amendments are expected
to occupy all the week. and should their
discussion fall short of that period the
Hatch anti-option bill will be taken up.
