NOTES.
The river and harbor bill, completed
Saturday, carries $50, 700,0 600. On
item reads: Vermont-narrows O
Lake Champaign SIT, 800.
The conferrees of the two houses o.
congress Saturday reached an agree
ment on the Philippine tariff bill, the
House accepting all but two amend
ments made by the Senate. The Sen.
ate reduction Of % per cent on the
rate of duty is retained.
Four of the six members of the sub
committee of the Committee on Inter
oceanic canals Monday agreed to rec
ommend to the full committee that the
legal complications surrounding the
Panama offer are such that the United
States should not accept it.
The question of the constitutionality
of the Philippine tariff bill passed by
the Senate February "a has been raised
owing to the fact that neither of the
South Carolina senator's voted. If the
bill passed illegally any attempt to cor
rect it could be successfully contested.
The beet sugar interests in the
House forced a second adjournment of
the Republican conference on Cuban
reciprocity without action Monday
night. They are gaining in strength
and claim the support of at least 100
of the 1879 Republicans in the House.
One of their latest arguments is that
the Brussels agreement to abolish Eu-
ropean sugar bounties has wholly
changed the situation and made tariff
relief to the island from this country
unnecessary.

of the House of Representatives, in

Form Acceptable to Dairy Interests-South
Cardinals Pugnacious Senators Punished by
Severe Censure 0nly-0mnibus Claims and
Irrigation Bills Passed by Senate Consid-
GRAFTON of the Philippine Tariff Bill.
The Senate committee on agriculture
by vote of six to five, decided Thurs
day to strike off the obnoxious House
amendments put on the oleomargarine
bill, after it was reported from the
committee there. This practically re-
stores the measure to the form that
was acceptable to the farming and
dairy interest of the country before it
was changed by the president and sec
rotary of the National Dairymen's as
ISOLATION, when they went before the
House committee and repudiated the
Grout bill.
The subcommittee of the Senate
committee on privileges and elections
to which was left the question of the
proper punishment of the South Caro-
lima senators for their conduct in the
Senate February o. concluded to re-
port resolution that their punish
ment should be limited to severe cen
sure, and that upon the adoption of the
resolution the senators should no longer
be in contempt. This resolution was
adopted Friday and is supposed to
close the incident. The Senate con-
sidered the irrigation and omnibus
claims bills and the House cleared its
pension calendar, passing 1853 bills in
little over three hours.
The Senate Saturday passed the ON
nibus Claims bill and the measure
providing for the irrigation of pub
lie lands. The conference report
on the Philippine tariff was agreed
to. The irrigation measure provides
that all moneys received from the
sale of public lands in Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North and South Dakota,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washing
ton, Wyoming, beginning July last,
be devoted to the construction of irri
CATION works for the reclamation of
arid lands, the work to be done and
the money expended under the direc-
ton of the secretary of the interior.
The Senate Monday began it's con
sideration of the ship subsidy bill, Mr..
Frye of Maine opening the discussion
for the bill. The House considered |
the bill to classify the rural free de-
livery service and to place the carriers
under the contract system.
