lOWereO on the senate horizon II the
signs pointed to a very stormy session.
Mr.. Vest was down for a speech, and
there was a prospect Of a very lively
skirmish over the bond question, and
the report of the finance committee.
Senator Lindsay Dem, KY was
present for the first time since the re-
converting of congress and took the oath
prescribed by the constitution.
Numerous petitions bearing on the
Armenian outrages, the question of the
recognition of the Cuban beligerents
and the Venezuelan boundary line dis
pute were presented. Among the latter
was n from the Society of Friends of
Indiana, praying for arbitration.
MI. Jones Dem, Ark. reported from
substitute for the house bond bill, and
gave notice that he would call it up in
the morning and ask the senate to con-
slider it.
No Republicans Voted for 1t.
MI. Morrill,, (Rep. Vt.) chairman of
the nance committee, notified the sen
ate that the substitute was opposed by
every Republican member of the COM
mittee. The bill went on the calendar.
Mr. Elkins (Rep. w. Va offered a
resolution which was referred to the
finance committee, providing that here
after any contemplated issue of United

Denounced the Supreme Court.
At 2 o'clock Mr.. Vest dem. Mo-
took the floor to discuss the gold reserve
resolution introduced by Mr.. Sherman
congress passed a bill which carried
ample revenue for the government and
a small surplus beside. The supreme
court has stripped the measure of
$50, 900 900 Of revenue by q de-
clslon which was q surprise to
nearly every intelligent law
yer on the floor. While discussing the
decision of the court, he would observe
the comfy between coordinate
branches of the government, but he
would say that the income tax decision
was one of the most remarkable that
has ever been delivered and was so con.
sidered by a majority Of the people of
the country, including able lawyers
everywhere.
Lodge Gets After Pulitzer.
Mr.. Lodge called attention to the re-
cen telegrnms between the Prince Of
| Wales and other we'll known British
subjects and Mr.. Pulitzer of the New
York World, concerning policies of this
government. They were in contraven-
ton of a statute of the United States
forbidding such communications be.
tween private citizens and officers of a
foreign government, and the attorney
general should prosecute Mr.. Pulitzer
for thus attempting to influence this
government.
MIR. Gray defended Mr.. Pulitzer.

the conclusion of the days session of
the senate. The entire time of the
caucus vas consumed in discussing the
proposed amendments to the tariff bill,
but no formal expression was secured

pressed doubts as to the wisdom of the
bill in any shape, as there was an evi.
dent disposition to regard the bill a.
purely an emergency measure.
