Work at the Capital shows looming adjournment and fixes on measures
Washington news from June 24 reports a Republican caucus shaping the remainder of the session with adjournment targeted by July 6. Key actions include prioritizing appropriation bills, and advancing bills on the Inter State Commerce, Land Grant forfeiture, Postal Telegraph, railroad fines route, Chinese labor, and Dakota admission. A Senate amendment would pay frontier workers to curb desertions, with $250,000 set aside. The government balance sheet is projected to reduce debt by $100 million with a $60 million trade surplus. Judge Drummond resigns upon turning 75, and postmaster general Gresham is expected as successor. Congress debates tariff reform, Army appropriation, and Mexican pension bills, while Dakota and Washington Territory justice appointments move forward.
