IN THE Senate on Friday last Senator
Quay boldly declared himself financially
interested in the trusts and announced
his intention of refusing to vote for OF
against the Littlefeld antitrust bill, on
on the ground Of his personal interest.
In a speech of few words he dispelled
all doubt concerning his correspondence
with Standard Oil officers regarding anti
tust legislation and his later opposition
to the Panama canal treaty in the in
terest of the transcOntinental railroads.
In one word Senator Quay pleaded
guilty. That the Senate is absolutely
controlled by the trusts is the belief held
by large majority of the people of this
country, but there are few of its men,
bers so frank as Mr.. Quay to admit
their personal interests in the combines.
As asks the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can eff all the Senators owning trust
stocks followed Mr.. Quay's example in
confessing the fact and refusing to vote
ON trust legislation, how on earth could
the presiding officerg get a quorum"

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate on Saturday passed the
Notifications appropriation bill and tn,
House immigration bill with amendments.
The general deficiency bill, the last OF
the appropriation measures to be con-
sidered, was reported from committee.
The greater part of the day was given
up to the consideration of the Aldrich
bond deposit bill, which was debated at
length, but upon which a vote was not
reached. While the bill was under dis
cussion, Mr.. Aldrich said that the re-
publican party would undertake the re-
duction of the revenues at the next ses-
sion of Congress, provided there was a
surplus.
The immigration bill was amended
and passed. IL now goes to conference.
The Senate took a recess until IL
o'clock yesterday when session was
held for the purpose Of delivering eulo-
gies upon deceased members of the
House. Mr.. Martin, Mr.. Gallinger
Mr.. Perkins, Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Daniel
spoke of the late Peter J. Otey, of Vir-
ginia.
Yesterdays session of the House last
ed from ! | o'clock in the morning until
sos O'Clock last night, and not for a
minute did the democrats relax the vigil
lance of their filibuster. Despite the
obstacles the House succeeded in making
substantial Roadway with business, pass
ing the omnibus public buildings bill
and the bill to settle accounts Of the
army officers during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war period sending to conference |
the naval and Notifications appropria-
tons bills (; adopting conference reports
on the railroad safety appliance and |
Military Academy appropriations bills,
and adopting Senate amendments on two
other measures. Conference report on
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill was presented to the House.
The House held four-hour session
yesterday and put the District of Column
bia appropriation bill through its last
parliamentary stage in the face of the
democratic filbuster. The previous
question on the conference report on the
Alaskan homestead bill was ordered, and
he vote on its adoption will be taken TO-
lay. That was the net result of the
Sunday session. Although it was Sum
lay by the calendar, it was still Thurs
lay, February rs, according to parlia-
nentary fiction. The democrats put a
lock in the legislative wheel at every
and it required six roll
alls to accomplish what was done yes
erday.
A resolution introduced by Represent
tive Dalzell, and referred to the COM
,ittee on rules, provides for joiut reso- :
ition to continue appropriations in the
vent of the failure of any of the supply
ills to pass at this session.

THE vote in the Senate last Frida,
upon the question of considering tn,
antitrust bill was thirty-eight against
to twenty-eight for, all the republicans
Gncluding Mr.. Hoar) except Senator:
Nelson, McComas and Wellington, vot-
ing in the negative. By this action the
Senate delivered death blow to Senator
Hoar's antitrust bill, which was made
up partly from the bill drafted by SEN
ator Hoar during the Christmas recess
and partly from the Littleield bill as
passed by the House. This is the end
of the "trust-busting" farce with which
the republican majority in Congress has
been entertaining the galleries during
the greater part of the session. The
farce had served its turn by preventing
any really effective assault on intrenched
monopOlies by revision of the tariff on
trust products. The democrats wished
to proved that the republicans are not
willing to pass drastic antitrust law
and are satisfied. Mr.. Hoar, who vot-
ed on Friday to not take up his own
bill, shifted his position on Satur-
day and voted to take up the measure;
but he well knew that it was dead. This
is not the first time Mr. Hoar has spoken
one way and voted the other

MONDAY EVENING. MARCH ?, 1906

THE FOLLOWING editorial appeared
in the Gazette of April 20, 1861, the day
after the attack on the Massachusett:
troops in the streets of Baltimore. II
illustrates the Gazette's foresight at that
critical time in the States history, and
shows how observant eyes were turned
to Robert E. Lee as the coming man in
a conflict which was to make his name
immortal.
cit is probable that the secession Of
Virginia will cause an immediate resigna-
ton of many officers of the army and navy
from this State. WedO not know, and have
no right TO speak for or anticipate, the
course of Col. Robt. f. Lee. Whatever
he may do, will be conscientious and
honorable. But if he should resign his
present position in the army of the
United States we call the immediate at
tention of our State to him as an able,
brave, experienced, oficer:-no man his
superior in all that constitutes the sold
Ter, and the gentleman--no man more
worthy to head our forces and lead our
army. There is no one who would COM
mand more of the confidence of the peo-
pie of Virginia, than this distinguished
officer; and no one under whom the vol
unteers and militia would more gladly
rally. His reputation, his acknowledged
ability, his chivalric character, his pro-
bity, honor and-may we add, to his
eternal praise-his christian life and
conduct--make his very name tower
of strength 1t is a name surrounded by
revolutionary and patriotic associations
and "reminiscences.
