Congress in session faces tax bill and naval plan
In Washington on July 24 the Senate began work on the tax bill as supporters urge a prolonged debate to block amendments while others push for an omnibus appropriation and naval bill changes. A proposal to issue mixed boards for navy personnel sparks contention, with final action possible after more than two days of debate. The administration considers a reshuffle of interior posts, with Merrick S. Jolyn named as Bell’s successor. American concerns in Egypt grow as Arabi Pasha blocks water in Alexandria and U S authorities seek protection for citizens. The Louisiana lottery mail issue is debated, while a treasury decision affects bond exchange rules for three percent bonds.
