Cabinet discussed Estelle case and Mexican question
A cabinet session examined the Estelle steamer dispute with owners appealing to the Secretary of State. The Mexican issue yielded no major action. A war and state department conference followed, with Sheridan and Ord visiting the capital. Senate and House actions included suffrage petitions, tariff debates, and a commercial treaty committee. Several trials and insurance issues were noted along with accidents and notable legal matters.
