Congress Expands House and Bills Stir Congress
Congress moves slowly in transacting business. The House passes a bill to raise members to 275 from 240 while the tariff bill lingers in Committee of the Whole. A vote on reducing pig iron duties passes 67 to 63 amid many absentees. Senate antics include a Wichita flap over annexation talk and no resolution on commissioners for Winnipeg. The news mentions events from Montreal to Nice, Lugo to London, and notes on Iowa's growth, railroads, and population.
