New Tariff Bill to Become a Law
July 1st-Solid Bottom Fonnd.
Special Correspondence of the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Mr. Pendle-
ton King, brother of ex-State Senator
King, of Guilford, was appointed
chief of the library and rolls division
of the State department June 1st.
His salary is 81, 100.
The sugar schedule and the bribery
investigation are uppermost in the
minds of the Senators. In view of
the Developments which are OCCUR
ring in the committee room, there is
growing sentiment in favor of the
committee holding it's sessions with
open doors. The statement of Sena-
tor Carlisle that he had submitted a
sugar schedule to the finance commit
tee with interlineations in his own
handwriting, as has been asserted, the
testimony of Senator Mcpherson that
he has held sugar stock, and the as
SertiOn Of Representative Warner, of
New York, that the representatives
OF the sugar interests endeavored to
make him desist from his efforts to
secure free sugar, have all become
known.
It is understood here that Cleveland
and Carlisle are in perfect accord as
regards the amended tariff bill. Sena-
tor Hill has regained much of his lost
popularity by his efforts in regard to
having senatorial Investigations made
with open doors. If he would now
abolish executive sessions of the Sen
ate he would win the gratitude of the
country.
GEN. BRADDOCK's SASH FOUND.
A letter from Winchester, Va,
mentions the interesting fact that
Mrs. Bette Taylor cambridge, the
only surviving daughter of ex-Presi-
dent Zachary Taylor, who resides in
long search, the missing sash of Gen.
Braddock, which was long supposed
to have been lost. This sash, which
is stained with Braddock's blood, was
sent by Gen. Gaines to Gen. Taylor
just after his brilliant achievement
on the Rio Grande in 1916. Mrs.
cambridge found the valuable relic
carefully wrapped up in linen and
labeled "Braddeck sash It was
sashes. Mrs. cambridge was former
ly Mrs. Bliss and presided over the
White House in the short year her
father was president.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The best informed politicians here
think the tariff bill will become law
by July LIST. But the passage of the
tariff bill cannot be Immediately fol-
lowed by the adjournment of Con-
gress, as good many people seem to
think. On the contrary, some time
must be occupied in the consideration
of the appropriation bills of which
Senate from the House. OF these
twelve only 3-military academy, pen
sions and fortitications-have been re-
ported, leaving nine still in the COM
mittee on appropriations. The House
has two still to pass the Indian and
the General deficiency.
While these bills will undoubtedly
be hurried through when they are
reached, they cannot be passed much
faster than one every two days, and
this will occupy all the working days
of month. The bills are now being
put in shape by the Senate appropria
tions committee, so that they can be
rapidly reported whenever the way is
made clear for them.
SOLID BOTTOM FOUND.
Capt. Evans of the light house
board, treasury Department., has re-
ceived a telegram from J. F. Rotting,
superintendent of construction of the
light house board, announcing that
he had carried out orders with en-
tire success" This brief telegram
caused much qualification in the
treasury and will be hailed with salts
faction in the shipping world. 1t
meant that the boring the light house
board has been making off the danger
Gus Hatteras coast of North Carolina,
has been successful. A solid bottom
has been found and light house can
now be erected. An appropriation of
| $500, 900 is now available for this pur-
pose, and solid bottom having been
| found, the work will be prosecuted as
| fast as possible. 1t will be recalled
that caisson worth $50, 900 was lost
| at Hatteras a year age, by the con-
| tractors who had undertaken to erect
| a light house on this most dangerous
coast. Since the old light house was
| destroyed numerous marine disasters
| have occurred there. TARHEEL.
