H"st Of Their Work Finished For This
Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE commit.
tees of the house have nearly completed
their work for the session. Several of
the most important have entirely ceased
to meet, while others hold only occas-
ional sessions. A few matters of i'm
portance are still before committees.
Foremost among them are the Pacific
railroad problem, upon which the COM
mittee is exclusively engaged. Next in
importance comes the banking bill,
which has been given into the charge
OF subcommittee and may not mate
rialize this session. The report on the
investigation of the Homestead armor
plate frauds by the committee on naval
affairs is yet to be made, and the labor
committee is working on proposed ar
bitration laws. The immigration COM
mittee is expected to recommend some
minor changes in those laws, and this
week the mem bers of the committee on
mer chant marine will vote on the Nc
Guire bill to ameliorate the condition
OF seamen in the merchant service.

INDIANAPOLIS, July II. -Ex- President
Benjamin Harrison, having been quoted
as saying that s'President Cleveland
has established a new precedent in
sending federal troops into a state
without request from the governor of
that state and over his protest." said:
II have neither said what am quoted
as saying, as to the use of the United
States troops by the president, nor do
think that the president has transcended
his power. On the other hand,
I believe that there is no spot
in the United States where the
United States troops may not go uader
such orders, without asking anybody's
consent, and that the enforcement of
the laws of the United States is the
sworn duty of the president and the
army is an appropriate instrument to
use in the enforcement of those laws
where they are violently resisted and
the civil officers are unable to deal
with the situation. If the posse comit-
etus law limits the presidents constitu-
tional powers at all (which is very
doubtful-it only requires the procla-
nation to precede the use of the
troops"
