CONGRESS READY TO ADJOURN , Soon as the Tariff Bill Becomes taw the Session Will Come to an End. HARRIS WILL MAKE AN EFFORT to ii,r. the committee Report the Four Ft „ ante «o the Senetr-Tho llou.e tine Prectlcolly Moth- Inc on H*ndt ✓ Washington, Aug. 19,-There Is good |„ believe that the week that tomorrow will «ee the close ot L, fifty .third congress. The work ot L, ,»nate Is finished; the last ot the Loropriatlon Mils was completed and tie conference renorts adopted Friday, 1 | there Is nothing now Idr the sen- „ to do but clean up the fag ends lot a very bu,y an<1 a very interefdlng Brtlnn About the only thins that keeps senn- lor, here Is the tarllf bill, and the gen- nl Impression new Is the president rill permit It to become a law just l json as the treasury officials are aily to carry It Into ettcct. That he «, not intend to veto the bill is clear, r the law print la now being prepared i the government printing office. | After tomorrow likely the senate will anoet for a ehort time dally and then adjourn, pending the reception of the ul« bill. Until It Is known Just when , expect this measure from the presi dent. It is not likely that a Joint resolu- on fixing a day for adjournment will i introduced. In the meantime there riil be an effort (and perhaps a suc- tessful one) to pass the house bill to repeal all laws authorizing a rebate of ie internal revnue tax on alcohol used .1 the arts. Mr. Sherman In his "plain lalk" on Saturday showed the necessity for the passage of that measure, and tlr Allison will be heard on the same Wilt on the whole subject ot this ses- icn’a tariff legislation tomorrow. I There is much for the house of rep- hsentatlves to do apparently but to kilt for the action ot the president Iren the tariff bill and adjourn. The Idopdon of the Murphy resolution In he senate Saturday Is taken as on ex- Ecsslon of the determination on the Urt of that body to do no more busl- liss. and the futile efforts of the man- ten to get a quorum to vote bn the jujtr trust and sugar bounty resolution rtnonetrated the fact that, like the base, the senate was practically with- tt a quorum. Therefore, It Is assumed oat none of the bill* yet In conference [tween the two houses need t6‘ be arther considered at this session, for 1 u not likely they would be passed [ten were the conference to'come to an freemen! thereon. Among this class t measures are two proposed Judicial «es—one relating to the powers, of nlsilonem appointed by territorial nuts. and the other to the payment of ate taxes levied against corporations t the hands of receivers appointed by |nlted States courts. (The committee on rules has notified Batmen of committees applying for a lay on which to consider reports from hem tbit no more allotments ot time pr that purpose will be made. As long i the house remains In session bills lay be considered and passed by -lanlmous consemt. and nothing that a not meet general approval stands ' show of getting through. Just be- e the house adjourned Inst Thura- Mx an effort was made to gain con- Meratlon of the hill reported by a con- erence committee and agreed to that p by the senate, prohibiting the 1m- Wiratlon of Anarchists. But objection f s made by severed members, and the ooibllltles now ard that It must go 'r until the next session. •WASHINGTON GOSSIP. feaator Harris Will Try to Have the Ibur Free Bills Reported.

Ob4c&gro, Auff. 19.—lAfter much prep aration tand an abundance of talk the Cook county convention of the People’s party and trades union delegates was held today In the West 'Flfity-flrat street Turner’s Hahl, The object was to nom inate candidates for county offices and the state legislature »to oppose the Re pub.loan and DemocraiUc nominees. Noise and chuoe characterized the gath ering from t-he start. It was brought to a sudden termination, after a turbu lent two hours &nd si lu-f, by the chair man, Chris O'Brien, declaring It off. This announcement utmost precipitated a riot among the 1,100 delegates who packed ihe hall, built to seal fcOO men. More than three hours were consumed In examining the credentials of the del egates, the managers of the conven tion trying to prevent the city hall Democratic and Republican politicians from packing the hall with their agents. The Populists had more »to say than the American Railway Union delegates or the ttades unionists, who felt ag grieved when the ch'atrman appointed t'h’arles G. 'Dixon, 'll Populist, tempo rary presiding officer. The trade union ists insisted on one of their number being chosen for that position and kept the con vein don in an uproar when they cou!d not get 'Whnt .they wanted.. The din was Increased when the an nouncement was made that *he conven tion was off. Several men Jumped on the pLinform with the intention of us- sau.iing O'Brien, but his friends stood guard over him and a general tight was narrowly averted. The lights were put out, preventing the trndes unionists from ’holding a convention of their own, us they wanted to do. There was a more notoua scene out side of the one narrow entrance door t'h.lh there was in&ide the hail! at any time. A motley gang of excited men, all eager to gain admittance to the floor once, with no good intention voward the Cabor or Populist interests, surged Jn front of the door and on the side while Several. Umea the crowd oaarged the door. £uar\l3, breaking down all barniers. In this manner many got Into the hail who had no right there. They were quickly seized on the Staflnways, however, and thrown outside, with injury to their bodies and damage to their clothes. A large force of police officers changed the scene by charging the mob und using their Clubs free.y. TAKING TESTIMONY The Pullman Investigating Committee Getting at Inside Pacts. Chicago, Aug. 19.—Chairman Thomas C. Wihea ( tcrof*t, chairman of the Pull man strike committee, 'took the stand yesterday morning before the investi gating committee. He -told of the* per emptory discharge of several ’mem bers of the strike committee. It oost the Pullman employes, Mr. Wheatcroft said, 94,000 to Join the AmerJoan RaJJ- wuy Union. Each of the 4,000 employes paid J1 each for a membership cord. P. P. McDonald, a locomotive engi neer, formerly 4n the employ of the Chicago and Great. Western railroad, told how he had been- discharged be cause of his connection with the strike. He sal-d It was the policy of the Chi-' cago and Great Western, as well os other roads, -to dismiss from their service all men who served on committees asking an adjure me nt of grievances. He been compelled, he ea»M, to work sixty hours without rest, ftnd once seventy- two hours at a time. He instanced the case of sevenlteen men who were black listed, hut afterwards reinstated. As Chairman' of the board of mediation for several roads, Mr. McDonald told much of -the Inner history of the methods of employers and the discharge of men by railroads. He was opposed to strikes as a rule, but believed that if tthere had never been ft strike by railroad 1 men they would -not be getting more than half as much wages as they are now receiving. Strikes, he eaid, were not genera My won, but they en tailed a heavy Joss on the railroads and this en sured certain concessions from the roads In order that q repetition of these losses mrght be avoided. He slid many railroad employee were (afraid to tes tify before the committee because they fV.xre.I bW-ng bkidCiHited by the General Managers’ Association. He -himself as serted that (he -would be unable to And work on any road on account of being blacklisted. THE PRINTERS’ HOME. Another Investigation Into Its Man agement Is Being Held.

BUDGET OF NEWS FROM GERMANY Bill. fl.l.B Carroll, an Am.rl.an Girl, 1. Exhibiting Har Foily b r havl.h Bnt.rtatnmant.~Th. Fntt HUItary Mnn.nvor,> Berlin, Auft. 19.—Manufacturers and exporters Interested In the American trade are somewhat elated over the passage Of the Gorman hfll. In .the tex tile Industry the relief front the laet nhinths ot suapense Is especially appa rent. Exporters eypeot an Increase of business with the United States In about everything except raw sugar. The news that the tariff question lias been virtually settled In Washington filliped American stocks on the •bourse, also the mining and banking shares. The optimistic views ot those nearest the German export trade have not been shared by the press, which affeots to have a rather small opinion of the new measure. The Koelnlsche Zeltuug regards the acceptance of the Gorman bill as mere ly a provisional act. The new tariff. It says. Is merely a resting place beyond which lies the plan.ot more radical re vision. The Kreuz Zeltung says the new tariff breaks dehnltely with the McKinley system, und that Is something, but Jt benefits aermany only as far as the woolen trade Is concerned. The Vosslsehe Zeltung, a rabid freo trader, thinks little of the Gorman bill and expects' from It only very slight benefit for German manufacturers. The Tageblatt says: “The revision of the McKinley act has come too late to help materially that branch ot our Industry which Is connected most close ly with the American trade. The man ufacturers who depend largely on Amer ican custom have had time to get on their own legs. There is not likely to be any revival due to the nav tariff, excepting perhaps the woolen trade.” The emperor’s orders against tne con tinuation of the CaprlvMilquel newspa per conflict have suppressed much of the agitation over the proposed meas ures against Anarchists and Socialists. Only the Radical. Clerical and Social Democratic organs continue to curtail the rights of free speech and assembly. The Radical and Clerical agitators maintain that the Cnprfvl-Mlquel feud Is as fierce, as ever arid must lead to u considerable crisis during the next ses sion of tho rclchstag. The chancellor, they tj*y, has suffered a mortifying de feat at Mlquel’s hands slid has been forced temporarily to countenance mrtl- Anarchist measures which but a few weeks ago he disclaimed publicly. The Inference Is, that onco defeated, tho chancellor Is tottering and may be pushed nt say time to fall by the pow erful band of tho finance minister. Empress Augusta Vlctorla wlalted her m'ather-ln-law, the Empress Frederick. In Fredcrlskron for several days laet week. She Is supposed to have been arranging for a family council to bo held soon after the emperor’s return from England. The subject concerns the accuiatlbns which Loberlcht von Koetze was charged with bringing against numerous persons at court. So ciety is much Interested , In this - coun cil, as the decision Is likely to affect the court circles materially during the coming season. The lavish hospitality of Miss Helen Carroll, an American girl, who has taken Chateau BUntaste, near Bey routh, for fib* summer, ts attracting tho attention of tho whole country. Numerous Amerlcun women ore her guests for the whole festival season and she entertains them his royal generos ity. The chateau hue sixty rooms. It belonged formerly to Duku Alexander of Wurtemberg. but. changed hands Soon after bts death. Miss Carroll's ex pense i« keeping tt as iW» ipen house for her friends Is reported here with exactness by all the dallies. She is slid to have laid . out some 33,000 In getting her equipages to Beyrouth, 32,500 In rent and 35,000 In general ex penses.

The perslsltem* spread of cholera In several districts of East Prussia causes considerable alarm here, although there U no reason for expecting an epidemic in western.or soutnern Germany. An imported case In Cologne last week startled the Rhine cities, but an exami nation of the Rhine water by the medi cal boards showed that R h.ul not been contaminated. Western seaports are also oh dean and healthy as ever. The Boris! Democrats have turned the Cholera scare to their account tn the beer boycott. They are circulating placards which assert that the boy. cotted beer has been poisoned and would surely Infect with cholera oil persona drinking tt. The brewers and their supporters hove protested against this sort of war tire, but the police Have declined to atqp the distribution of the placards. ■ The ninth congress of German chess players will be opened In Lelpslc on September 1. Among the sixteen entries are T. W. Build of New York, Taraach and Wulbroll. The emperor’s orders' to the war de partment to e»ek a new Arid, unaffect ed by cholera, for the East Prussian maneuvers has disturbed many plans. Nevertheless. It Is peremptory and the war department* must be altered ac cordingly. As soon os the emperor Winded at Kiel and leirned that the Vistula was affected he commanded that the plans tor me naval mineuvem be Changed. The combined operations of the army and navy along the Neu- fshrwasser, tn the neighborhood of Danzig, were to be held on September 9 and 10, but they have been aban doned and no maneuvers of uny kind will be held at the mouth of the Vis tula. Irt Is certain, however, that the date of the operations has not been o'iknged. The troops will begin work Sep'-ember 3 and will continue It for right days. The Intention ot eras sing vhe river Nogat near Marenberg. on night of September 8, must be given up at a sham brittle field be se lected in m district rUr from the Vis tula, but it the troops oerate onywehcro near the river they will make this crossing, which the emperor regards as one, of the most important features of the maneuvers.
