The Week In Congress.

The time of both the senate and the
house this week will be taken up with
the consideration of appropriation
bills. In the senate the Indian bill is
now under consideration, while the
house has the river and harbor bill
under way. Several days will be re.
quired to dispose of each of these
measures, and when they have been
voted upon the senate will take up the
army bill, and the house the naval bill.
These four measures will practically
monopolize the time of the two bodies,
as there are many provisions in each
of them over which there is wide diff
ference of opinion.

Cleveland-severaI Sage Gifts-con
ference on Japanese Question-Da
Wis Action Approved.
Judge Walter Evans, in the federal
court at Louisville, KY, has overruled
the demurrer of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad company to the equity
petition filed by Erasmus l.. and Annie
NJ Motley, in which the latter sought
20 enforce a contract by which the
railroad company agreed to issue an
nual passes to each of the plaintiffs
during their lifetime.
The court says that the act of June
90 1906, known as the railroad rate
bill, under which the railroad company
declined to issue the passes agreed,
in January, 1907, should be considered
precisely as IT, in its general language,
there was an express exception ex.
Guiding from its operation the com.
plainants' contract In no other way
can the vested contract rights of the
complainants be preserved.
The general tenor of the opinion is
to the effect that congress did not in.
tend to annul any previously made
contract founded upon good consider
alton. The court says, further, that
the passes issued the Motleys, while
called free passes" we're not so any
more than ticket bought and paid
for. The demurrer of the railroad COM
pany, which was argued by Colonel
Henry l.. Stone. was based on the re.
bate law. which prohibits the issuing
of passes, the railroad taking the posi-
tion that this law ended its contract
with the Motleys.

Vile. AS the committee was about
to let the contract, its members were
served with complaint in suit for
permanent injunction brought by
taxpayers of jamestown and vicinity.
The authority of the committee to let

the suit is based on current charges
that the passage of the resolution of
the board of supervisors under which
the committee is acting was procured
by bribery.
