ANTITRUST amendment to the tariff
bill, prepared by Senators Thurs
ton, Davis and Spooner, upon
lines suggested by Senator Nelson.
and the amendment has been in
troduced as a bill by Senator
Thurston. The bill makes every
person engaged in conducting a
combine or trust guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and provides for their
punishment, on conviction, by
both fine and imprisonment at
hard labor. Although it was
stated by opponents of this amend
ment in the caucus that it was not
the matter itself they opposed,
but incorporating it in the tariff
bill, nobody has any idea that the
matter will be allowed to get
through the Senate as an inde-
pendent bill,
Senator Wellington, of Mary
land, is going through what ap-
pears to uninterested folks to be a
case of biting his own nose off to
spite his face, and his face isn't
pretty even at it's best. He seems
to have made the mistake of |
accepting as literally true, the
fiction that Senators in sympathy
with the administration, are al
lowed to dictate all the Federal
patronage given to citizens of
their States, and to have been led
as consequence, to give a foolish
imitation of ajax defying the
on the floor of the Sem
ate, which amused more men than
it frightened. Mr.. Wellington
ought to know that even such in
luential party leaders as Senator Z
Plat of N. Y, and Cullom of Ills,

themselves with endorsing men for I
positions after the President had
iecided, without consulting the /
senators to appoint them. In this i

WASHINGTON LETTER,
Special Correspondence.

washington, July 9Th 1S97-The
responsibility for the failure of the
Senate to pass the tariff bill las,
week belongs to the republican
Senators. Had they been able to
agree on several proposed amend
meets to the bill, the measure
would today have been returned to
the House according to expecta-
ton. The republican Senators
agreed at the last minute to press
an amendment giving a bounty to
beet sugar, but as soon as it was
brought before the Senate, Sena-
tor Jones, OF Ark, and Teller. of
Colorado, informed them that the
Senate would remain inlsession a II
the summer before that amend
ment would be allowed to pass.
and the republicans were COM
PEELED to withdraw it, but it was
than renewed by Senator Allen
and is still pending. Nothing now
stands in the way Of the final vote
on the bill, but an agreement
among the republicans, and that
will probably be reached within
two or three days.
Judging from expressions in |
Washington, the tariff amend
ment taxing transfers of stocks
and bonds promises to be a popu-
lar one with the people. 1t will be
paid by the spectators who deal
in stocks d bonds, who, as a
rule, do not pay their share of tax

A member of the administration
says that President Mckinley has
almost decided to send a special
message to Congress, asking that
legislation authorizing a currency

caused him to drop this idea, be.
cause of the impossibilities of get ,
ting such legislation to a vote,
even supposing that a quorum
could be kept in Washington after
The tariff bill is out of the way and
