A Washington special states that “about a dozen Representatives, including Messrs. Randall (Pa.), Warner (Ohio), and Merriman (N. Y.), had a conference over the tariff question and decided to oppose the consideration of the Morrison bill. They favored a reduction of the revenues to prevent the accumulation of a surplus, but insist that it shall be effected by some measure which shall embrace the repeal or reduction of certain of the internal revenue taxes.” President Cleveland has nominated Erskine M. Ross to be Judge and J. Marion Brooks to be attorney for the Southern District of California, and CoL O. B. Willcox to be Brigadier General. Representative Anderson, of Kansas,

a revenue reformer, says he voted against the Morrison tariff motion because of deeper interest in interstate commerce legislation.
