Tho flr«t item of business in tho
hmiKo Wednesday, after tho reading of
tho journal, was tho announcement by
the speaker that tho committee on en
rolled bills had reported that tho
amended tariff bill had been properly
enrolled and that it had beau signed
by the speaker. Several private meas
ures wore passed and half a dozen in
definite leaves of absence granted
to members, all on account of
“sickness” in tho family. Mr.
Black, democrat, of Illinois, asked
unanimous consent for the considera
tion of the following resolutions:
“Whereas, the balance of available
gold in the United States treasury on
August 1, 1894, had been reduced,
despite tho sale of $50,000,000 of gold
bonds, to the sum of $54,975,007, and
whereas, there is in the treasury, un
used and available, an amount of silver
equal to $518,880,082 American stand
ard coin and valuo; and whereas, tho
incomo of tho United States does not
now equal its expenditures; therefore,
bo it resolved, that tho committee on
coinage, weights and measures be direct
ed to at once report to the house for its
consideration a bill providing for the
proper use and avail of the said sil
ver.” The resolutions were referred.
Tho second morning hour was given to
tho committee on the judiciary.
Chairman Culberson called up tho bill
to make any contract hereafter made
for the payment of money in gold, sil
ver or coin, payable in any legal ten
der of tho United States. Considera
tion of the bill was interrupted by the
confereonco report on tho sundry
civil bill. An agreement was reported.
Among tho disputed items the ap
propriation of $105,000 for the fami
lies of the twenty-one killed lit the
Ford’s theater disaster wan stricken

The appropriation of $25,000 for a
juarantine station at South Port, N.
O., was retained. Tho appropriation
for the purchase of the Mahoue lot us
a site for tho government printing of
flee, was stricken out. Tho appropri
ation of $200,000 for tho Cotton
States and International exposition, at
Atlanta, was retained. The confer
ence report wits agreed to. Mr. Say
ers presented the conference report on
tho general deficiency appropriation
bill, which showed an agreement upon
all points, except the appropriation
of $1,809,589 to pay Pacific railroad
judgments. Without that the agreed
bill carries a total of $0,202,908
Tho Pacific) railroad item gave rise to
a discussion which was not codcludod
when the house adjourned.
As a number leaves of absence wero
granted to members and the attend
nnoe upon the house Thursday showed
the general departure of representa
tives from the city only a small bit of
routine business was transacted and
then the conference report on the gen
oral deficiency appropriation bill was
laid before tho body. Tho item und
discussion is that appropriating $1,
000,000 to pay a judgment in favor of
tho Southern Pacific railroad company
for transportation of troops, mails ami
merchandise for tho United States.
wo hours and a half aro accorded for
discussion, when a vote will bo taken.
There was hardly a quorum of tho
house of representatives left in Wash-
ugton for Friday’s session, as tho
members are anxious to get away and
are leaving on every train. Mr. Reed
will see the session through. Messrs.
ay lie, of New York, Cogswell, Mass.,
and Cannon, of Illinois, will also re
main to submit some republican fig
ures on the appropriations and somo
observations on the tariff. Most of
tho democratic leaders are remaining
in order to make a quorum iu ease of
an unexpected emergency on tariff.
TIIB NKN ATIi.
As soon as tho senate journal was
read Tuesday morning tho chick clerk
f tho house appeared and delivered a
message, announcing the passage by
the house of the bills to place on tho
list, sugar, bituminous coal, iron
re and barbed wire. Tho message
made no allusion to tho concurrence
f tho house in all the senate amend
ments to the tariff bill. When the
ice-president laid before tho senate
the free list bills, Mr. Manderson
asked that they be read at length and
bjeeted to the second reading of all
f them. Mr. Hill gave notice of
amendments to each of the bills, pro-
iding for tho repeal of all incomo
axes. The senate, at 2:10 p. m., ad
journed until Wednesday.
During the routine morning host
ess in tho senate Wednesday the chief
lerk of tho house delivered a message
had been agreed to in conference com
mittee on a like bill heretofore passed.
In tho sen ate, Friday, Mr. Harris
offered a resolution that the vacancy
in the finance committee bn filled by
the selection of White, of California.
Home objection was made, and after a
spirited discussion the resolution went
over until Saturday. Mr. Harris then
offered a resolution, whioh also went
over, that there shall be no furthei
tariff legislation this session.
Iu the senate, Saturday, tho resolu
tion of Mr. Harris, providing for the
appointment of Senator White as a
member of the finance committee in
place of Senator Vance, deceased, was
laid before the senate and agreed to
without a division. Mr. Murphy’s res
olution, declaring it to be the judg
ment of the senate in view of Secretary
Carlisle’s letter to Senator Harris, ns
to the effect upon the revenues of the
passage of a free sugar bill, that no
urther tariff legislation should be
passed at this session of congress, was
then laid before the senate. At the
request of Mr. Gorman, however, it
was passed over temporarily.

(,'uuy gave notice that ho would offer,
an amendment to each of the four
bills, putting sugar, coal, iron ore
ami barbed wire on the free list,
th' McKinley tariff bill. Mr. But
ler offered a resolution which was
referred, instructing the committee on
interstate commerce to inquire and re
port as to tho freight and passenger
eharges, differential, etc., of the South
ern Steamship and Hailway associa
tions. At the request of Mr, Har
ris, each ol the four house
bills as to sugar, coal, iron ore
and barbed wire was taken up and re

Tho somite finance committee Friday
morning adjourned shortly after meet
ing without accomplishing anything.
Tho republicans, who had taken over
night to consider the matter, decided
that they would permit nothing to bo
done until the democrats bad filled the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Vanoo.
It has hoen rumored generally in
Washington that Mr. Carlisle will
leave the cabinet and that Mr. Wilson,
of West Virginia, will take hm place.
The rumor is based on the statement
that President Cleveland was ignorant
of the letter which Secretary Carlisle
lit to Senator Harris, chairman pro
tern of the llimuoo committee.
The departure of tho president for
Gray Gables, Thursday has set all
sorts of rumors going. It is reliably
stated, however, that lie went on tho
advice of his physician, on account of
a slight attack of malaria, from which
ho has been suffering several days. It
is believed that he will affix his signa
ture to the tariff bill.
By a vote of 11*2 to 18, the house bill
for free sugar wna Bent to the commit
tee on flmuieo, Thursday. The other
three bills, known ns the “pop-guns,”
wero iiIho referred by a vote of 35 to
17. The eighteen votes against refer
ring the sugar bill to the flnaneo com
mittee wore by democrats, who bo-
believed that to refer it meant its
death.
The senate committee on the judi
ciary 1 ms made an adverse report to
the senato on tho nomination of the
Hon. James 1). Porter, to be United
Htates judge of the eastern and middle
district of Tennessee. It is understood
that the opposition is baaed on tho
ground that Potter, while a resident
of the state, lives outside of the dis
trict over which ho was appointed to
preside.
The four members of tho royal Haw
aiian commission, who visited Wash
ington to secure redress for Queen
Lillioukalani, or to prevent the reeog
nitiou of the new republic, left for
Honolulu via Han Franoisoo, Thursday
night over the Ohio and Baltimore
railroad. Whatever the exact nature
of their mysterious mission to Wash
ington may have been, it seems certain
that it was a complete failure, An
nouncemouts made by individuals en
voy that they had obtained an appoint
ment for a hearing at the state depart
ment turned out to be nntruo.
A special of Wednesday says: Tho
lionsc bills putting coal, iron, sugar
and barbed wire on the free list have
gone to the senate. No olio believes
they w ill he enacted into laws this ses
sion. The truth is, it was never in
tended by Home of the house members
that they should become laws. All
they expect to do is to trade for free
coal. Already senators who are inter
ested in iron, sugar and bnrbod
have boon approached to trade these
items for flee coal. There is a strong
lobby in Washington in tho inter
est of the Neva Beotia syndicate who
are willing to do anything for free
coal. The senators say they are will
ing to give free coal if the Canadian
government will take the duty of 0
cents per ton off Ameiiean coal, and
coal will not he put on the free list
unless this is granted. Tho states of
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, lHi
liois and Indiana could, if this
done, supply all of Cauada west of
Toronto with coal at cheaper rate
than the Nova Scotia mines can.
The President Leaves Washington
President Cleveland loft Washington
only Thursday morning for Gray Ga
hies. Private Secretary Thurber mak
public tin' following statement in re
gard to the president’s departure:
“Tho president left this morning for
a few days’ absence under the advice
of his physician, in the hope of slink
ing off an attack of malaria from which
in' has been suffering for several
days. Yesterday the attack culmi
nated in a fever, which was
under control this morning. Doctor
O’1’,cilly, his physician, expressed no
doubt that a few days of salt air will
recuperate the president sufficiently to
renew his official duties, and ho will
return to Washington by the middle
of next week, lie 1ms gone to Gray
Gables, and is accompanied by Dr.
O’Reilly."
President Cleveland left on the 7:10
train over the Pennsylvania road.
He took no action upon the tariff bill
before his departure beyond sending
