CONGRESS AND COAL
Both l-louses Tackle the flatter in a

A lively debate was prec"ip itt'( in

when the forner endeavored to secure
a postponement of the Vest resolution
requitring the committee on finaflee to
prepare ahld report a bill' removing the
duty on coal. Nilr. Aldrich annonnced
that there were strong hopes of art ion
being taken elsewhere with the view
to removing the duty on coal. Tho
pr"OPosition was not ne ceptable to Mir.
Vest, who vigirously objected, saying
that he had no assuriance that any
thing will be (lone in any' other place.
"Cir("ttnstantial eviien(re"' he said. ''is
strongiy against any such assulhp( lon.
No act ion has been taken and 11o sus

NIr. Vest called attention to the ac
