CLOSING SCI NliS. Congress Adjourns—The World’s Pair Bill Passes Both Houses. A OOOD SHOWINO FOR THE EIGHT MONTHS SEiSPN —RRIEF PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWO HOUSES. Congress adjourned Friday. It has been in session just eight months, less two days. In that time it has made a splendid record on account of the ina joritics of the house and senate being of different political parties. Other than necessary legislation, little has been ac complished in the way of new general legislation. THE HOUSE. Wednesday— Filibustering over the World’s fair appropriation was resumed Wednesday and no quorum voting on a motion to take recess, the hovts" adjourned and a democratic caucus was announced for two o’cbck. Shortly af ter adjournment an agreement between the leaders of the two factions was reached. It provided that the entire world’s fair matter should be stricken from the sundry civil bill and that the bill be allowed to pass. Then the oppo sition to the appropriation agreed to a direct vote on a gift of $2,500,000 to the world’s fair to be provided for in a separate bill. A democratic caucus was immediately called to ratify the agree ment. In that it was stated that no member was pledged in any way to vote for the gift, but that they should agree for a Vote to be taken without filibus tering. Thursday. —Mr. Catchings rose to a privileged report from the committee on rules. It provided that it should be in order for the speaker to entertain mo tions to suspend the rules as on the first and third Monday. It was adopted without controversy. Mr. Holman im mediately rose and moved to suspend the rules and pass a joint resolution extend ing until August 10th, the appropriation by the sundry civil appropriation net of last year. Agreed to without opposition. Mr. Holman then moved to suspend the rules and pass a resolution 'hat the house shall consider the vote by which the house receded from the world’s fair amend ment, that the house further insist on its disagreement and that the bill be sent to a conference. The motion was received with a good deal of excitement. The republicans wished an explanation of the agreement reached by the democratic party Wednesday, and when it was rend as published in the newspapers there was an expression of feeling that it meant nothing. Mr. Hendcrsou, of Illinois, characterized it as partaking somewhat of the invitation of the spider to Ihe fly to walk into his parlor. Mr. Dingley voiced the general opinion of the republicans that democrats should assume the whole responsibility, lie did not believe that any notion would bo taken toward passing the Dur borrow bill. The sundry civil bill was sent to conference by a vote of yeas, 141; nays, 400. Mr. lleilly, of Pennsylvania, moved to suspend the ru'es and pass a resolution providing that a vote b' taken on the Durbnrrow bill atone o’clock Fri day. The Heilly resolution wns agreed to without serious opposition nnd amid applause. The house then proceeded to a consideration of the Durborrow hill and Reilly substitute therefor. The substitute makes an outright appropriation of $2,- 500,000. Friday. —At noon the house resumed, in committee of the whole, consideration of the Durbarow world’s fair bill. The bill was debated for an hour. Much of the debate was foreign to the question pending, and referred to the commit sioner of pensions. Precisely at 1 o’clock the chairman of the committee of the whole stated that, under the order of the house, the committee must arise. Having arisen, the Durbarow bill was reported to the house. The pending amendment, and the only one, was the substitute of fered by Mr. DeArmond, of Missouri, for the first section of ihe bill It pro vides that, if the World’s Columbian ex position shall deposit at a mint of the United Btates a sufficient q'uai.tity of silver bullion, it shall be coined and delivered to the exposition in half-dol lar coins, in an amount not exceeding $5,000,000. Rejected—yeas, 80; nays, 139. The bill then passed, yeas, 181, nays, 83. On motion the vote by which the Dill passed was reconsidered and the motion to reconsider laid upon the table. This was done only after Hn ineffective attempt was made by Mr Biily.of Texas, to filibuster. The speaker appointed Messrs. Fitch, Oeissenhainer, DeForest, Ray and Manner as members of the spe - cial committee to inquire into the execu - tion of election laws in New York. On motion of Mr. Houck, of Ohio, ihe senate joint resolution was passed authorizing foreign exhibitors at the World’s fair to bring into this country foreign laborers to assist in preparing their exhibits. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, submitted the majority report on the Wa'son charges, and it was ordered printed; so, also,were the views i f the minority, signed by Mr. Simpson, ot Kansas. Mr. Grout, of Ver mont, submitted his individual views. The house then took a recess until 7 p. in. The evening session of the louse was decidedly interesting. The galli ries were crowded and the spec'ators were well paid for their attendance. Soon after meeting at 7 o’clock, in the evening, the conference report on the sundry civil bill was brought in. In that bill as it passed the senate was a paragraph making a small appropriation for the employment of extra capitol polcemen during the G A. R. encarapmtnt in September. An amendment had been put on it in the house providing that no company having a government contract should employ Pinkerton detectivis, or ar.y other armed ipen to go from one state to another. The conference committee cut this out as it was too sweeping in its character. Then the house passed the sundry civil bill just as it came from conference. The next hour was devoted to the pas sage of unobjected-to pension bills. A committee was appointed to notify the president that the house wa« ready to adjourn. That committee reported that the president had no further communi cations to make tho senate. The resolu tion to aCj urn at 11 o’clock came over and was passed. The transaction of routine uninteresting business then went on until 11 o’clock. The scene of the evening was when Speaker Crisp at 11 o’clock declared the house adjourned without day. As he rapped his gavel atnd retired from the stand the corres pondents in the press gallery to the cum ber of nearly one hundred sang the doxologv, followed immediately oy tue tune of “He’a a jolly good fellow." THE SENATE. Wednesday.— There were very few senators present when Wednesday s ses- Men opvned, nor did thsrs appsar to b* any pressure of Imsinses before the body. Leave of absence on account of ill health was grant 'd to Mr. Keanu. A resolu tion i ffered by Mr. Pettigrew, calling on the secretarv of war A>r a report as to all army officers who lie vs been tried by court martial during thr- past ten years, their rank, offense, verdict rendered and punishment imposed, was the subject of considerable discussic.n. The resolution was finally referred ’Jto the committee on military affairs. Th e resolution offered by Mr. Call, iff Florida, on the 12th of May for the appointment of a joint committee of th.s trvo houses to examine and report on the commercial and polit ical conditions ot" Cuba and West India Islands and their relations to the United States, was laid be tfore the senate. Its adoption was oppoiied by Mr. Sherman as unwise in every asp ect, nnd as an un friendly act towairis the government of Spain, and he suggested a comparison between the proposed inquiry and a like proposition on the part of the British government to inquiry into the condition of Utah. It went ov 6r again without ac tion. Thursday.— Joint resolution extend ing th'-l ippropriations .made by the sun dry civil bill of last year to August 10th was passed. The senat e took a recess until 1:30. Immediately after re assembling a message ivas received from the house announcing that the speaker lmd signed the enrolled’, joint resolution extending the appropriations to the tenth instant ; and that the house insisted on its disagreement ti> the senate amend ments on the sundry civil appropriation hill (World’s fair amendments) and agreed to it further conference. The vice presi dent thereupon signed the joint resolu and it was sent to the president, and on motion of Mr. Allison scßate ajourned till 2 o’clock Friday. Friday- fn the senate, when the Dttr borow World’s fair bill came from the house, it was read in full and the vice president having declared that the bill was open to amendment, Mr, Vest said that if he could defeat it by any parlia mentary tactics, he should do so very cheerfully. Other members m ade a vig orous kick against the measure, whilo good arguments were made for the bill by Messrs. Hawley and I’almer. The bill was finally ordered Ho its third read ing and passed without division. After another short executive session the house joint resolution to pay ithe salaries of ofiiceis and employes of congress for the month of August, 1892, in advance, wns laid before the senute, and Mr. Butler offered an amomlment to it, riquiring the session employes of both houses (not on the annual roll) to be paid their sale.ries for the whole month of August. The amend ment was agreed to and tha house joint resolution, as amended, was passed. The smote then, at 4 ;05 o’lock took a recess till 8 o’clock p. in., to give time for the enrolling of the world’s fair bill and the sundry civil bill. The si mate, at its evening session, agroed to the confer ence report on the sundry civil bill. At 10:20 o’clock the signature of the vice president to the sundry civil bill was offered. The joint resolution for final adjournment at 11 o’clock was agreed to. A committee was appointed to join alike committee on the part of the house to wait on the president and inform him that Ihe two houses were ready to ad journ. At 11 o’clock the senate ad journed siuo die. notes. The $2,500,000 world’s fair bill weut through the house Friday by a larger ma jority than any one had anticipated. The vote was 131 to 83, It was immedi ately sent to the senate and passed by that body after brief debate. The president signed the bill Friday night, and thus the world’s fair comes out partially vic torious. A Hurried Kxndna. A special of Saturday says: Although but twenty-four hours since congress ad journed there are barely a dozen senators and representatives in Washington. The weather is warm in the city and the cam liaigns are hot in the districts of the various members. Consequently, there was a stampede for home. Some will come back in December with the flush of victorious re-election upon their cheeks, but many will bring with them sad tid ings of defeat. There are mnuy who are serving their first and last terms as able statesmen. There were leas than a hun dred members in the capitol Saturday morning. They went to pack up their books, preparing to lesve. Almost every member of the bouse of both parties call ed to bid Speaker Crisp goodby, and every man thanked him for his fairness nnd absolute impartiality. Even Tom Rei d himself wns oue of tho number. “G odbyi . Mr. Spe aker,’’he said, when he entered Speaker Crip’s room. “We have no complaint to make. Indeed, you are a pretty clever set of fellows, after ail.” The democratic members overwhelmed the speaker with their clever expressions and good wishes, and almost every one of them added: “Well, lam for you against anybody for speaker next time.” Indeed, all the bitterness of the speakership contest died out months ago, and the men who fought the Georgiau hardest are now among his most enthusi astic admirers and advocates. If tho next house is democratic he will l>e the unanimous choice of the democratic cau cus for speaker. Ht*port ot lbe Watson I live ad* n ting Com mittee. The Watson iuv< stigating committee reported Friday. The report declares that the committee has no hesitation in declaring that the charges construed in the sense in which they are made are false and libelous under the s rictcst legnl definition of those terms; that the evidence was overwhelming that thcie was nothing to justify the imputation made against Mr. Cobb. The facts arc, tlie d port will say, that three and possi bly four members uppeared on the floor, more or less under the influence of liquor, but none in the condition de scribed in the charge. The com mittee will report a resolution de claring that the charges made by Watson are not true and constitute an unwar ranted a-sault upon the honor and dig nity of the house and have the unquali fied disapproval of the house. Mr. Grout, republican, submitted a report fully concurring in the finding of the majority that Mr. Cobb was not in a state of intoxication while discussing the Noyes-R ckwell election case, and saying that the charge that “drunken members have reeled about the aisle’’ is wholly unsupported by the truth. He thinks tha' in \iew <>f the facts brought out bv the investigati n, Mr. Watson should withdraw the offending statements, but if, on the presentation of the matter to the house. Mr. Watson should decline to retract or modify the state ments published in his book, then he recommends the adoption of the resolu tion reported by the majority. Repre -1 tentative Simpson, Farmers’ Alliance, submitted a minority report dissenting from the views of the majority an ex onerating Watson. He quoted from the | testimony of the alliance members and others before the committee in support of his (SimpsonVJ contention that Watson’s chnrges had foundation in faot. The report was not considered in the house. It was simply offered und ordered print ed on account of adjournment. No for mal action by the house will be taken until next session. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK. Stains of Trade as Reported by R. G. Dun & Co. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: in every respect, save one, business distinctly improves. Crop pros pects are cleared, manufacturers are do ing finely, even in the iron branches, and labor troubles seem to approach a settle ment which is likely to be advantageous and lasting. The domestic trade ia of enormous value and decidedly the largcat ever known for the season. At Boston trade is fairly active. At Philadelphia receipts of wool are large and prices firm. The trade in paint and gin's is moderate; in liquors and chemi cals active, and tobacco dull. At Balti more the fall trade opens with favorable auspices. Business at Chicago consul erably exceeds last year’s, and fair crops and a large business are expected. Business at Kansas City is satisfactory, though collections arc slow, but receipts of cattle and grain are large at fair prices. At Louisville trade improves and the outlook is better. At Little Rock business is quiet, but at Savannah well sustained. At New Orleans money is in improved demand at a slight advance; cotton is steady and sugar firm. Pig iron is on the whole no weaker, though bes semer hns sold at Pittsburg for $13.99, and southern sales at Chicago have de pressed gray forge to sl2, equal to $8.15 at Birmingham. The demand for bar is mere active, and plate, sheet and scruc tural mills are crowded with orders. Shoe factories are unusually crowded, and shipments for tho week reached 90,- 000 casis against 80,000 last year. Sales of wool increased largely, and for the year at the three chief points are 174,- 000,000 pounds against 148,000,000 Inst year to date. Speculation has made higher prices for bread stuffs, half a cent for wheat, in spite of receipts at the we t exceeding a million bushels per day with exports of 800,000 bushels in three days. Corn has been advanced nearly 5 cents on small sales, and oats 2 3-4 cents, western re ports favoring shorter estimates. Cotton has declined an eighth on sales of 596, 000 bales for the week, crop receipts being more favorable. C< ffeo is an eighth stronger and oiL 8 8 of a cent lower. Business failures occurring throughout the c untry during the last seven days ns reported to R. G. Dun & Co., number for the United States, 160. For the cor responding week of last year there were 207 failures in the United States. COMPLIMENTING CRISP. Tha New York World Hns Good Tiling* to Say of Him. The New York World of Saturday, in a review of congress, says of -Speaker Crisp: “No democrat in congress, in speaking of tho record of the present house, fails to pay a warm tribute to Speaksr Crisp. It was claimed for Judge Crisp by his friends at the time of his election that he possessed all of the qual ities necessary to success in that responsi ble office, and it is the general judgment now that he has justified in his high place the most generous things said of him. He has been, indeed, a most model presiding office', prompt, courteous, entirely fair to both sides, and resolute whenever tha occasion de manded. His decisions have always been ratified by the house, and his private counsels to hia party friends have always been to promote nn intelligent and praiseworthy dispatch of business. In the most turbulent times of the session he has never been betrayed into word or deed reflecting in the slig’ test degree on the dijpiity of bis situation, or his well established reputation for good temper and self possession. The most experienc ed of the men in congress unite in sav ing that no speaker »o early in his ser vice in that office ever won for himself ■ore deserved praise than Mr. Crisp. MICHIGAN REAPPORTIONMENT A Special Session of the Legislature Called to Consider It. Both brandies of the Michigan legis lature were called to order ia special ses sion in Lansing, Friday, to reapportion the Btate into senatorial and representa tive districts, the last apportionment act having been declared to bu unconstitu tional. The house, after organizing, took a recces until 2.30 o’clock in the afternoon, pending action on a motion for the adoption of rules, except the proposition which required one day’s no tice for the iutroduc ion of bills. The senate also took a recess. Immediately after adjournment representatives from both parties met to see if some terms of peaceable procedure could not bo agreed upon. Before the legislature convened, the democrats held a caucus and decided to accept a pacific propo sition which came from the republicans, viz: the appointment of three democrats and three republicans to confer upon the rcapportiomuent bill. No prediction can be made as to the outcome. As the mat er now stands, all the slates are broken and both parties must reform their lines. NEW YORK’S APPORTIONMENT. The Act Declared to be I'nconstitution nl and Void, by Judge Bum soy. A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., says: Judge Rutnsey, on Friday, handed down a decision in the case of the Mon roe county b >ard of supervisors, declar ing the appointment act void and un constitutional. The decision is based maiuly upon the ground that representa tion in many of the districts is unequal and that the constitutional provision in this respect has been p ainly disregarded. Tho court holds that the inequalities are so gross as to senate and assembly dis tricts that it is manifested that the dis cretion of tho legisla ure was exceeded and, therefore, the act is void. The court cites 55, New York; 55, Wiscon sin esse; 51, north western-report, and a Michigan case just decided. VALUABLE FREIGHT. Twenty Millions in Gold Shipped From San Franscisco to New York.
