by the 58d congress the revenues Of the
government were reduced below its
necessary expenditures and the funds
created by law for the REDEEM ption ol
United States notes have been invaded to
supply such deficiency of revenue, that
spch misapplication of the resumption

or bullion, to be paid out only IN the re.
dempt;on of United States notes and

affairs to investigate the prices paid by
the government for armor plate, and as
to whether any official Of the government
was interested in patent processes, was
adopted, although, at the suggestion Of
Mr.. German, the words. directing inq uiry
into the facts whether the prices paid by
the United States were as low as paid by
foreign governments, were stricken ont.

year 1895 was purely formal meeting,
lasting but few minutes.
The prayer Of Chaplain Conden wss
most impressive. He asked that party

"One flag, one country, one God forever"
and concluded: "With malice toward
none, with charity for all, let our nation
stand as an example to all the world with
justice written on her brow"

Chairman Dingley, Of the ways and
means committee, was in the senate yes.
terday making canvass Of the leaders to
see what prospect there was of action on
the two bills that passed the house last

bill at an early date. Among others with
whom he conferred were Senators Morrill,
and Allison of the finance committee.

Secretary Olney has directed Minister
indemnity of 100000 from Turkey for

may be more.
