THE CHARTER COMMISSION.
The Subcommittee in Regular Session
Last Evening.
The Sections Of the Original Char
ter of 1886 All Passed Upon, an
Some of the Subsequent Amend
ments Taken Up and Considered

The subcommittee of the City Char
ter Commission assembled last evening
IN regular session, with Attorney Will
lam Erskine, and resumed considera-
ton of the sections OF the original char
ter of 1886, upon which the committee
has been working, in the main, up to
this time. A great many of the sections
Of the old charter have been amended
ana re-enacted until they have become,
with the lapse of years and repeated
changes, entirely imperative, and such
have been rapidly passed over with an
occasional note of reference for future
use or q citation to more recent laws.
There was some informal discussions
last night, as there has been at other
sessions, as TO the length of term and
powers and duties of the Mayor, but
this Only arises, as rule, as a collat-
eral discussion growing out OF topics
somewhat intimately related to the ex-
ecut.ve, and the matter will hardly be
taken up seriously until the powers Of
the legislative branch have been clearly
defined.
Another matter interjected into the
discussion last evening related to the
complaints heard CT the unusual 60
wheeling busiress methods pursued
by certain large reta;, house, but the
fop:c was one hardly to be provided for
specifically in the organic law, it rather
coming under the general police powers
CT me city, and as such it appears to
ts WEI covered at present in Sec. II Of
the ordinance n relation to offenses,
on page 2O5 Of The printed ordinance
Sook of the city.
Various other matters were discussed,
last evening, and then the committee
adjourned until nsxt Monday.

who for three terms, beginning that year
and ending in 1873, represented Illinois
In the United States Senate, may be the

IN CONGRESS.
Expected Programme for Week
for House and Senate.
Former Will Settle Rules and Take
Up tie Pension Bill.
Latter Will Probably Reach Vote on Bond
and Tariff Bills.

= Washington, Jan. 12-The debate in
the Senate, this week, will be very much
like the debate during the extra session
when Congress convened for the purpose
of repeating the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act,
The silver substitute to the House bond
bill Is now unfinished business, and it
can be called up any day at the conclusion
OF the morning hour. No one has given
notice of intention to speak during the
week, but the subject is fruitful in debate,
and number of speeches VIII be delivered.
There appears to bc IA disposition on the
part of silver and anti silver men, to per-
init the question to come to vote with
out delay, some auti-silver people believ-
ing that it would be the best thing TO let
the country know at the earliest oppor-
tunity what element il Is that controls the
Senate.
The finance committee will meet in
regular session, Tuesday, the Republican
members counting on the vote Of Jones of
Nevada, and confidently expect az that
time To report the tariff bill, a. it came
from the House, in accordance with the
sentiment of the Republican caucus Of last
week.
The House will probably continue. to
morrow, the consideration OF the rule
regulation and the counting Of a quorum,
which alone remains to be acted upon.
That can be disposed of at one session. it
IS believed, and whenever it is out of the
way the general pension appropriation bill
will be called up
These are the only matters now in sight
TO engage the attention of the House. this
week, but they may occupy the entire
time. A number Of members, it is under
stood, are to make speeches on the pension
question, and as there is nothing else cn
the docket, AS yet, their longings are likely
TO hc satisfied.
Whenever the Senate shall return the
revenue or bond bill with amendments, its
consideration Will at once supersede all
other business, bat neither one Is expected
to reach the House this week.
There may be diversion by the presen
tation OF a reply by the secretary OF state
to.any one Of the four or five resolutions
of inquiry which the House passed, week
before last, but no intimation has been
given. So far as is known, that any of the
replies will be transmitted by the presi-
dent, this week.
