Congressional Notes.

The Senate. Thursday. confirmed this
nomination of George Sawyer of Con.
necticut, to be United States consul n,
Glauchau, Germany.
Mr.. Morgan (Dem.). Alabama, Thurs
day, introduced in the Senate a vol
luminous bill, which among other
things. directs the secretary of the
treasury to issue bonds in such an
amount as may be necessary to take
up the first mortgage bonds of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific Rail-
roads. These bonds are to run 30 years.
with privilege of redemption after 10
years, or the postponement of the pc
Rod of payment after 80 years, subject
to the payment of interest thereon
during the time of such extension, the
rate of interest being fixed at 5 per
cent.
w. d. StinsOn of Augusta and Mr.. l..
A. Leonard of New York have been
at Washington, following the progress
Of the Loud bill. Mr.. Stinson is con-
nected with an Augusta publication.
The bill was strongly opposed in the
House by Mr.. Milliken, who assisted
Mr.. Quigg of New York in his fight
against the measure. Mr.. Quigg read
a rather interesting letter from pub
Usher at Augusta, detailing the large
sums that he paid monthly for post
age. This amounted to $1O,500 monthly
for first, third, and fourth-class post
age, as against some $4,000 monthly for
second-class postage. These figures
only indicate a small part of the post
age business that the government does
in the State of Maine with the large
companies. Readers can
gather from them some idea of how
vitality the publishers. are affected by
the fate of the Loud bill which the
House passed on Wednesday. and
which now goes to the Senate. SEN
ator Hale did not give the Maine pub
fishers much encouragement for the
defeat of the bill in the Senate
although he will do all in his power to
defeat it, He fears there is a con-
siderable sentiment in the Senate in
favor of it.
