Only thirty.flvo working days remain for
the Fifty-third congrer/ . IL Is i abolutely
hnposlbl ( thaI any leglslalon cm bo on.
ncle,1 , for the relef of the treasury In that
time. There Is a congestive condition , In
13tl ) the house and the senate . which can
he rele\'cl , only by digent effort on the
Part of both houses ) of congress , anti It
wi be necessary for a numb of night
&ltnJ to be held In order 10 transact nec
essary Plblo huslness.
Al of the nPllroprlalon lull ! by constu'
tonal requirelent must originate In tim
' . z house of representatives . The house commit-
toe on appropriations has not yet reported
the agricultural . deficiency . 1egIIatIvo , or
lavy bis , flach one of ther Important
measures wil require time for discussion In
'
the house after they are rqlrtell , and a
great deal of flbuslerlng and other par-
lamentary lethods of obstruction may ho
ndule,1 ! , In II t members who are Inimical
t ( certain provisions of the bills when they
nro relorttd , placed en the calendar , and
taken up for conhc1eration , . The only regu-
lar appropriation hi whIch haA parsed both
10uses ) of congress and beome I law Is
the military ncallery bill , which Is one of
the smalest and , comparatively ] . of the least
Importnnce. The army appropriation hut has
passed the house , hs heen conlilerd 1 by th ,
innate committee on appropriations , and Is
alow on the snalo calendar , hut has been
shletraeltell by the discussion of the income
tax appropriation bill , the NIcaragua canal
bill and a number or smaler measures
The terllfeatons appropriation hi Is on the
6enate calendar end so Is the pension appropriation -
IJroprlaton hi. hut none of those mr&ures
11ave been pressed for consideration by Sen-
alor Cockrel or MIssouri . the chairman or
the committee on appropriations. because o
the glneral desire to prml unlImited do-
bate upon political mesurl.
'Che senate committee on appropriations has
under consideration the dlplomltlc nnd con-
"ular bili. the DistrIct of Columbia bill . and
the postefco appropriation bill , hut neither
one or those measures lUIS been complete
for report t ( the senate so that the chairman
CJn cal any one or them UII for consideration -
tlon ant laEago in the senate.
The Indian appropriation bill has been reported -
ported hy the committee on Indian affairs
th the house and Is now on the calendar
of that bOy , but n ( effort has been made to
( Ieraml ( Its conllerton , and consequently
It may be late In tim session before tlat Important -
IJortant bIll Ii taken up and passed
The fact that fIve of the great regular ap-
prolJrlaton bills remain In the house com-
' 1ltee on appropriations , without having been
reportl1 all placed , emi the calendar In-
' , ; - dlcalel a manifest disposition on the part
, of the democratic mauagers or the house

condition during the latter part of
the seasion , whIch wIll exclude the
possibIlity of prompt acton on the
Ilart of the senate with the extreme
probability that an extra session of coigress

Tile cases will now probably go dIrect to

10nai features to the slack brolters' cases
were first a to the relevancy of the partic-
ular questions put to the newspaper corre-
spondents and second whether they shou11
bo excused from answering on the ground of

Jlligo Coles stated that both witnesses test-
fed the ) ' did not have personal knowledge of
the maters pubilsiled . but claimed 10 have
information from persons understod to have
personal knowledge or the matter . and the
other "was a question pertnenL to the In-
quiry as to their Informant's name. " The
court ruled that It was pertnenL as to the
Information being a privIleged commummica-
ton , The court said It docs not appear that
either correspondent refused to answer on
the ground that I might IncrIminate , a
question which the court might. have consid-
ered "It has never been contended before
In a court of justice , " said the court , "that
a newspaper editor reporter or correspondent
or anyone engaged In the newspaper busi-
ness Is to bo considered a person wIth whom
a confidential communication may be 10Jgl1
and protected , as between an attorney and
client or priest and confessor. There could
clenL piest
bo no moro dangerous doctrine than that a
newspaper might obtain information whose
erect might work great Injury a 111 detract
from the reputation or character of a party
or body. and that the claim or privileged
communication might then bl made. That
rile would be very demoralizing. There
being no law to that effect which the court
could follow , the demurrer In both cases
must be overruled and the defendants must
answer by pleading 10 the Indlctmenl. "
The court then took up time cases of the
Sugar trust officials , Messrs. Ha\emeyer and
Searies , and I held that the questions as
to the amount contributed by the corporation
to campaign funds were pertinent and proper.
The question was , said the court whether
pnllng legislation had been affected by the
fact that the Sugar trust socale had
made a largo contributIon to the campaIgn ,
As n general proposItion It Is undoubtedly
true that congre bas not time right t (
Inquire as to contributions made by a cor-
poration. But the Influence on legislation by
such contribution Is another question. Now
U the acton of the senate and of par-
tcuar ] senators had been contrle by con-
tributons , then the committee had the rIght
to Inquire Into It and the amount of the
contrIbution was or very grave Importance.

meaner punishable by a fine or from $100

Mr. Oney accompanied the bill sent t (
! Ir. lcGann , at the laUer's request with a ,
statement of his views on the several provisions -
visions or tile original bill and his reasons ,
for such new matter as bad been Incorporated I
Into It. The attorney general's statement ,
starts out by disclaimIng by any one save
himself any responsibility for the views con-
hhns1 ay reslonslblty
tamed 1n his leUer. Hs first ( bJeton Is
!
as to what Is called the Pullman cause ,
which ts to obviously aimed at Mr. Pul-
man t ( bo otherwise construed , but hitting
al well every other manutacttirer of cns.
The vital objection to the clause Is a manufacturer -
ufacurer of cars Is not engage In Inter-
state' commerce. und des not become so
engaged whether he sells or lets cars to a
engage who Is , and any attempt to bring
carrer
him within the act must prove abortive and
tend 10 discredit time act generally. On the
ether hand , Mr. Oney f at the onlnlon that
every person engaged In opera ! .lg a car
used In Interstate commerce ought t come
within the oct.
PREFERS A SPECIAL COMMISSION.
I Is the attorney general's judgment that
the permanent standing commission ! provide
for by the bill for nil cases Is not only not
needed but would be or less value than u
special commission provided for each case
a It may arise as It Is not belIeved that
controversIes arc likely to occur so oren as
to b so serious a9 to require the establsh-
moat or time cumbersome and costly ma'
chtnery provided for by the bil Once such
I commission Is established It will never be
got rid at. Tim objectIon that lila commission -
sion might be , needed for the purposes set
forth In section 30 , that the cndltol of
employment subject to time act may be In-
vetgated and ascertained . Mr. Olney meets
with the suggestion that the interstate commerce -
merce commission . a at present const-
tuted , might with equal satisfaction , gather
tile Information called for and acting wIth the
commissIoner of labor I mIght be properly
charge by n special act or congress with
the duLls of mediation and concilIatIon.
Section 8 of the bill , "that arbitration shall
be resorted to for the feWement of contro
versies between employers and their em-
ployes " Mr. Oney says "mieed not bo dis-
cussed. The only alternative Is IndustrIal
wars , and they are as illogical . as brutal
and as wasteful as the wars by which international .
national disputes are oren accom\anlc "
Assming arbitration to bD both desirable
and needful . , Mr. . Oney contelds that Its
tribunal shou\l be a special body , organized '
an fixed principles , with reference to each
part In either case as It arises rather than
n permanent body , with ) lermanelt jurlsdlc-
ton over all cases. The machinery or' ar-
biraton , he thinks should not bl put In
motion at this Instance of one or more Islate
Indlvldual9 , but only atm tile Instance of a
class , that is . or a whole body of employes
performing the same business and of time
Hnme grade In order that all may bo repre-
sentell In IhD proceedings and all bound by
their n\u I s. The erect t ( be given to the
enforcement of I Mr Oney regards as a
mater of very great consequemice. In the
first place , 'the arbitration tribunal Is not
judicial In character , but admimmlstrative-it
does not pass upon rIghts , hut rules of bus-
mesa expelents especially.
AWAHDS SHOULD 1 STAI3LII .
Time courts are not adapted to decide
questions of rates or wages , of hours of
employment and ather like mater . To Im-
pose such duties upon them Is to load
them with functions for which they are not
fitted , aL the cost or the functions for which
they are fitted , The award therefore , shoull
b impeachable In the clrculL court only for
error of law apparent upon lie ( 1ecorl , and
should bl fed In court only for that I'ur-
pose. In the second place , as respects time
enforcement or tIme awards , two consIdera-
tons are Invol'ed. One Is a definite time
during which an award shall be In force
and not revisable br another award. Such
a time Is essential , because business can-
not be satIsfactorIly conducted unless the
conditions are reasonably stable and crtaln.
An award , therefore , bhoull not be capable
of being reopened by a fresh arbitration for
1 erlcll I ot at least two years .
Tile other conditions relating t ( the enforcement -
forcement of the award arise from the fact
one of tile pates , which II the CCl10n car-
riot , will almost invariably be a railroad
corporaton , That I. one Ilaty affected by
the award Is nn employer , who Is legly
bound 10 continue t ( do bUlhlebs , however
dlpleat' wia an award The other party
affected by the award on the oIlier hand , Is
In the poslion ef employes general , who
lay quit worlt at pleasure This one-sided
operation or the award Is inevitable . and

WAShINGTON , Jan , 17.-AnoUler Inter-
eating chapter to the financial question was
given to the aenato tOday when Mr. Sherman -
man presented an emergency currency bill
t ( meet time treasury deficiencies , and Mr.
Pugh offered a measure In time same line ,
supplementng It with a vJgoruos speech on
tile Impotency and inaction of the senate In
time taco or a grave emergency. ThIs was
but a brIer prelude to a day spent : with ap-
propriaton bills. The pension bill . appropri-
atng $111,000,000 was pasl2d , with two Im-
portat anmendmnent , one making $6 the low-
est rate fer pension disability , and another
, repealing the present law cutting off tile
Panslons l or non-residents. I was stated dur-
Ing the debate that tie $6 amendmlnt would
lucreast pension expenditures not exceedIng
$1,000,000. The bill served as a text for
severe criticism agaInst the adminIstratIon
ot the pensIon dnce. The army approprla-
t(1 bll was considered but hot completed ,
owing to slllrlted oppositIon to time abammdomm-
ment of army vests In the far northwcst.
Mr. Pugh secured recognIton soon I
after the senate met today to present what I
he regarded a a solution of the Ilresnt lack i
of govorment revenue. The senator varIed
the usual custom of Introducing a bill by
reading time full text of his measure with '
great deliberation and then commentng on
it. The bill provies for tIme Immediate Issue ,
of $100,000,000 ot treasury notes to met
deficiencies . these notes to bl redeemable In
coin and to be constantly relsued . 'I further
directed time coinage ot the & Jgnloragl and
time delloslt of silver bullion from American
mints ,
Mr. 11 of New York asked Ir lie senator
wished time Immedlatl passage of this huh .
" ' 'hat question , " said Mr. l'ugim , "Is In
line with the New York nator's treatment
or all great IJublc questions and I decline to
answer It. "
Mr. Pugh Ilrocec-e'l ' to urge the gravity of
the prc.nt situation . I was such that he
was ready to surrender long convictIons In
order to secure a remedy. "Thus far , " said
Mr. Iugh , "sommators have stood here and
torn down , I Is easy to tear down , but I Is
hnrd . 10 bulil up.Vo have torn down until
wo have nearly torn down time couumtry "
Mr Pugh begged that the fInance committee -
tee , In whlcll ho had great conlllnce , should
do ) methlnJ at once. Ho did not belIeve IhD
senators were a lot ot muscovite drakes , bow-
lag and steeping stupidly.

"Mr. Cleveland has sent a messagl to

earcestmmesmm. . "Tho IJresldent amid his secrc-
lary of the treasury had offered a scheme

Mr Sherman , republican of Ohio , as soon

Galnger took occasion to crl tclse severely
time past utterances ot Mr. Cleveland as to
Lhe frauds existIng In the pension sYltem.
The senator said pension examiners were
roaming around the country seeking frauds
which did not exist. This plan of prying

Mr. Lodge severely arraigned the pensIon
olco for delays.
Mr. Drlce asked what Increase In pension
expenditures would result from adopting the
Hawley nmendment.
Mr. Galn er reported $1.000,000 would certainly -
tainly cover the amount.
Mr. Peier offered an amendment fixing
$8 as the minimum pension rte , hut It was
ruled out or order. Mr. Voorhee spoke ]
vigorously for lberaly to pensioners. He
did not share time Idea that pensioners should
be suspeels. Pensions Ire vested rights anti
should be protected as Is the title to real

Mr. Alien then moved to make $12 the
lowest pension rate , but It was ruled out of
