Washington notes on senate ratification and policy shifts
The United States Senate ratified the High Pauncefote treaty while the House passed the Philippine tariff bill. Congress adjourned until January with plans to take up canal bills, ship subsidies, and wartime revenue reductions upon reconvening. Admiral Schley actions, Taft Commission powers, and cabinet changes dominate Washington chatter as Merriam is tipped for commerce secretary amid fiscal and infrastructure debates. The Weerk’s Cace is listed at $1.00 per year.
