crowded with visitors today. The
east room, however, was the only
room open to sight seers. Policeman
guarded the stairway leading to
the upper portions of the. - house and
allowed to pass only those on official
business. The President was kept
very busy during the day signing
acts of Congress and attending to
; other official matters. ' Members of
the U. S. Supreme Court, headed by
Chief Justice Waite, called just be
fore noon and took leave of the Pres
ident. ' A meeting of the cabinet was
' ' held :. at noon and lasted about two
hours.- All the members were - pree
. , ent. The session was devoted to
' 1 clearing up all official business re
- quiring action during the present
administration. During the session a
messenger brought a large handsome
floral cornicopia, across which was
laid a beautiful horse shoe formed of
rare exotics. , At 2:30 o'cJock She
President received the members1 of
the diplomatic corps. -'All the lega
tions were represented, and it seemed
as if every diplomat in the city -improved
the opportunity to take
official leave of the President.
While arrangements were being
. made for packing and removing the
personal effects of the President and
family, a large express wagon drove
, - up tothe main entrance and deposit
!;' v ea a number of trunks, and parcels
containing .the personal effects of
I : President elect Cleveland and his
private secretary.- Tbey were taken
into the house to be cared . for - Until
Mr. Cleveland takes up his residence
there.
The President's effects will be re
moved tomorrow. After the Presi
dent has reviewed the procession he
will proceed direct to the residence of
Secretary .Frelinghuysen, , whose
truest he will, be . for. - two - or three
weeks. His son and daughter will
accompany him. Mrs. McElroy will
be the guest of Mrs. John Field, and
Mrs. Haynesworth will be the guest
"of Mrs. James A. Dumont on Capitol
Hill.
At 13 o'clock the corridors of the
Capitol were almost impassable.
Dense crowds surroundered every
door of the galleries of the two houses
' " . . Deerinir through and awaiting the
departure of the more fortunate oc
cupants of seats .within. Thejr- are
- composed for the most part of well
behaved and well dressed people, and
bv far the larger half wore overcoats
of army blue, and a large percentage
or those in civilian aress were aecont
ed with silken badges indicating
? membership of visiting organizations.
1 : ' An extra session remains a poeen
' bility.'and the subject is one most
discussed among the memtx v& and
attaches of Congress. The condition
of business is such that appropriation
bills might be disposed . of within
twlve hours, yet a possibility re-
mains that some-will not be passed.
The great crowds of spectators have
a very inspiring effect upon the elo
fluenca of many members. The
weather is beautiful, and the iadica
"J:- tions are favorable for a fair day to
morrow.

CLOSING SCENES.
THE KEN ATE CONSIDERING
HOUSE AMENDMENTS.
The House Tangled up and Pretty
Generallr Mixed. Takes Several Re
cesses. Washington, March 3. -Senate.
The Senate was called to order at 9
o'clock, a quorum not being present.
'Dawes moved a call of roll which
showed 25 Senators present, being 14
short of a quorum. At 9.50 the chair
declared a quorum present.
Dawes called up the conference re-
?ort on the Indian appropriation bill,
he two Houses he said had agreed
on the bill so far as all items proper
ly pertaining to the appropriation bill
were concerned. The Senate had
struck out all the items of general
legislation and all the items for the
depredation .claims. upon tnose,
however, the House insisted. ' Since
the bill was passed, Dawes added, the
Senate seemed to have weakened on
its position as to general legislation.
Some of the provisions of the Indian
appropriation bill were open viola
tions of our treaty obligations as well
as unconstitutional. . 1
Sherman said if the Senate regard
ed the House legislation as wise the
Senate rule should not interfere with
it. If unwise and unsound the Sen
ate should not recede, no matter
what the consequences.
Af ter . further discussion, in order
to bring the question to a point and
Sit the understanding of the Senate,
awes moved, though he said he
1 A
would vote against nis own amenu
ment, that the Senate recede as to the
provision of the bill relating to the
legal iurisdiction and procedure in
cases of crimes committed by the
Indians.
The Senate refused to recede, yeas

A message irotn tne nouse 01
Representatives announced a disas
greement with the Senate on the
sundry civil bill.
The Senate, on motion of Dawes,
insisted on its amendments and the
chair appointed as a conference com
mittee, Allison, Hale and Beck.
Dawes, explained the remaining
differences on the Indian - bill
to be the provision prohib
iting the carrying of -whiskey into
the Indian territory, that to disarm
the Indians, and that relating to the
Oklahoma territory. These, Dawes
added were good provisions but were
at present in such a form in the bill
as to do more harm than good.
Pending consideration of this mat
ter, Conger at 11 o clock a. m. moved
that when the Senate adjourn today,
legislat ve day being from the 2nd
of March UHtu noon today, it be to
meet at 1 p.' m., on - the 3rd this
afternoon. Agreed to. .
Sherman explained that an errone
ous impression seemed to prevail that
the committee of arrangements ap
pointed by the Senate to take charge
of the inaugural ceremonies, had,
with respect to the conduct of the
coming inaugural, departed from the
old established rule. He, Mr. Sher
man, had had aJJ old programmes
looked up and he could positively
state that not only had the House of
Representatives not been discrimi
nated against but that in tne present
instance the precedents had been
somewhat departed from in favor of
the members of the House. He,
Sherman, would be very sorry that
any wane 01 consideration snouja De
shown the House of Representatives.
He read the programme of 1881 to
show that ' in the old practice the
House of Representatives was not
recognised at all.
Hawley read the programme of
greater- - consideration shown now
than' had been Bhown then for the
House of Representatives. -
Frye objected to further 'discus
sion of this subject and it was allowed
to drop. .
The matter of the Indian confer
ence report waa again taken up.
Dawes moved that the Senate insist
on the remaining amendments.
.,. Manderson moved that the Senate
recede as to the amendment extend
ing the time for payment for Indian
lands.
Van Wyck satirically said the
Senate could not agree to the legisla
tive provisions on the appropriation
bill when put on by the House but
could itself put in such a bill, a ra
cific mail subsidy clause, when it
thought tit John Koacn, Jay Ukmld
and (J. P. Huntington bad been de
feated at the other end of the capitol
but had demanded that the Senate
should violate its own rules Van
Wyck supported Manderson's mo
tion. Being a motion to recede it bad
precedency and was put ttrst,
The Senate, 3 to 33, refused to re
cede. x turtner conterence was ap
pointed on toe Indian appropriation
bill.
Allison submitted a conference re
port on the general pension bill.' No
action was tagen on it for the pres
ent.
The committee on appropriations
submitted the deficiency appropria
tion bill. It is the last of the appro
priation bill before . the ' Senate
committee on appropriations. It
comprises over ninety pages and
appropriates $1,491,133 more than the
bill as it passed the House.
L At one o'clock Monday's session
was tormally adjourned and Tue
day's session began, the Senators not
leaving meir seats.
On motion of Riddlebereer .' a bill

Tbe House diligently proceeded to do
nothing while waiting for the sundry
civil bill to pome over from the Sen
Ate; -.: V ; V.-,v,
At 2 o'clock a pecees of half an hour
was taken. ' During this period the
few members present proceeded to en
joy themselves, which they id by
lolling lazily back in their seats, cigar
in mouth and feet on desk, , and givt
ing vent to their patriotic sentiments
by bursting forth into song. "Dixie,"
"8tar Spangled Banner," "John
Brown's Body." "Yankee Doodle"
and "Hail Columbia" followed each
other in quick succession, and then,
becoming more sentimental, the gen
tlemen express! their admiration
for "The Old Folks at Home," and
informed each other m musical acv
cents that "There's a Land that is
Fairer than This."
At 2:30 the House was called to
order, and at 3:55 took a recess until
9 o'clock a. m.
There were hardly a dozen mem-.
bers in the hall when the session was
resumed at 9 a. m.
The sundry civil bill had in the
meantime come over from the Senate
heavily loaded with amendments.
Randall asked unanimous consent
that this bill be taken up and the
Senate amendments non concurred
in and sent to the conference com
mittee, but objection came from Hep
burn, and then there .was a call of
the . House, which, closing at 9 :30,
showed the presence of only 45 mems
bers.
Randall's motion was then renewed
and agreed to. and Randall, Forney
and Ryan were appointed conferees
on the part of the House.
After various ineffectual attempts
to have bills taken up by unanimous
consent,and it being plainly impossi
bie to have any public business trans
acted.the House at 10 a. m. adjourned
till eleven.
When the House reassembled at 11
o'clock, the Speaker announced that
owing to the continued session of the
House from 11 oclock yesterday
morning to almost four this morning
the journal was not prepared, and its
reading was temporarily dispensed
with.
Valentine immediately moved that
the House take a recess until .10
o'cIock tonight, his object being to
prevent consideration of the con
tested election case of Frederick vs '
Wilson, of Iowa.
The Republicans refrained from
voting on the motion for a recess,
and left the House without' a
quorum. ,
No attempt was made to transact
any business until Townshend sub
mitted the report 01 the conterence
committee on tbe postoffice appropri
ation bill announcing the- continued
disagreement. Townshend stated
that there were several poinis of dif
ference between the two houses, the
most important of which was on the
Senate amendment relating to ocean
mail service. . He was opposed to this
because he regarded it in the light ot
a subsidy proposition, and because it
entrusted a dangerous power to the
Postmaster General.
Pending debate the Speaker laid
before the House a communication
from G. H. Craig, Representative
from the Fourth Alabama District,
stating that he had forwarded to the
Governor of that State his resigna
tion, to take effect at midday on
March 3. Laid on the table.
After a long debate, the House re
fused, yeas 128, rays 132,- to concur
in the Senate amendment to the post-
cmce appropriation bill relative to
ocean mail transportation.
The remaining amendments were
concurred in.
The conference committee on the
Jddian appropriation bill reported a
uisagreemeob upon gome 04. me dis
puted amendments, and a further
conference was ordered.
The conference report on the pen
sion appropriation bill was adopted.
The House recedes from its disa
greement to all the Senate amend
ments, and, as finally agreed to, the
bill appropriates $60,000,000.
The House then at 5:15 took a re
cess until 7:90.
Upon reconvening at J :30, numer
ous motions to take a recess were
made to again prevent consideration
of the election cases.
A point of no quorum was raised.
Robinson, of New York, made an
appeal, "as the last word he would
ever say in Washington," asking the
House to make a donation of any
amount to Miss Michleham, grand
daughter of Jefferson, and requested
unanimous consent fqr. the pastae of
the bill making an appropriation for
that purpose.
Hammond, of Georgia, objected.

Facts m 5i mi Think
From Tarboro Southerner July 17.
While visiting Tarboro, ou July 8th, I was re
que&ted to vl-lt Miss Mary . K. Staton, seven mile
from town, who for seven weeks had been suffering
excruciating agony from some blood poison, sup
posed to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her
request, I went to see her, and expected to see great
8utlering, but was no prepared lor the scene that
met roe. I found the patient broken out all over
with an eruption which had occasioned such in
tense itching that during the paroxysms she was
perfectly ur.oo'itrolliible. and had scratched and
torn herself to pieces until her agony was indes
cribable. During these paroxysms she would have
to be held, and her screams could be heard a long
distance. She would pray for death to come to her
relief; her wholefbodj was purple and raw, and ex
uded a yellow water which satuarted the bed
throusrh several thick quilts that day uhe had pos
sessed herself of a thick gutta percha coarse comb
and belore she could be prevented, had raked her
self with it with such force as to break out some of
the teeth, thus adding to her agony, She was at
tended by a good physcihus as' farborb and her
neighborhood ooiild afford, tout their treatment af
forded only occasional relief by outward appli
cations, and no permanent benefit, as the parox
ysms continued to return with increasing violence.
Upon viewing the condition of the patient I called
thefamlly toather and told thm to bear witness
that I phomised nothing. I could not tell whether
my Remedy would relieve or not, as 1 had never
even Imagined such ' suffering, but it could do no
harm and might do good. I then gave her a large
dose of the Bitters, and as soon as the paroxysm
was over, I sponged her whole body with the Wash,
while doing so she would call out. ''Oh. that does
feel so good.' I then gave her another dose of ths
Bitters, and she was soon In a sweet sleep. I con
tlinierj this treatment, and. whenever the Itching
would recur, I would spouse the body instantly
with the wash, which, m everv Instance a'layed tha
Irritation or itching, and warded off those violent
paroxysms. She did not haye ap attack during the
day, aud by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the
disease was under perfect control. 'The itching
would ecur. but every time was allayed by the ap
plication of the Wash. I left her Wednesday easy
and comfortable, with directions for the treatment
to be continued during the night, and as long as
was necessary. I came again to see her to-day,
Saturday, the 12th, and found her up and dressed,
and in the regular prosecution of her household
duties. She is entirely relieved, although she will,
of course, have to take the Bitters some time to
completely eradicate tbe poison from her blood
During Wednesday, she would frequently call for
the Bitters, as she craved its soothing and quieting
effects, and during the day I administered a whole
bottle, with the above results, thmfprovlng. what 1
have always claimed, that my Remedy Is an Infal
lible antidote for all blood Impurity. I am,
Respectfully,
MBS. JOE PERSON.
This Is to certify that the foregoing statement Is
perfectly correct in every particular, as we were eye
witnesses of Miss Mary's suffering and the wonder
ful relief afforded by Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy

A. long, lank, lean and chronic !Antl-Potash
Boom met the new, fat and saucy Atagta J8g Bold
Boom, on a hot, sultry day.
"Who are you?" asked the B. B. B. Boom,
''lam the old Anti-Potash Boom," was .the gad
reply, aathe presplration rolled down, and It lsan
ed heavily on the B. B. B. Boom for support
"Don't lean on me," said the B. B. B. Beom. "I
may look strong, but I am quite young -only 14
months old, and am growing rapidly, and am
mighty weak in the knees, I am doing the work
which you hive failed to do, although you are 50
years old. You are old, and tough, and rich, and
don't require a supports " But what causes you y
look so thin pf late?"
"Well, I hardly knqw.n replied the Antf-Pqtash
Boom. "My physician tells me that my abilities
have been over-rated, and that while trying to whip
put all opposition by boast and brag, that I have
only proven my lnal)flly to cope with what he ealls
my superiors. Old age Is also creeping on me
having fought near 60 years before any one knew I
was livrng and now I am unable to per'orm feats
that others are doing. I am collapsed; my friends
have turned aganlst me and call me names, and oh
Mrdy, how sick I become at the very sight of B. B,
B. Hold my head while 1 die,"
- : A SUNBEAM.
Compared to other remedies, B. B. B. Is the ra
dlent sunbeam of midday, flinging Its glittering
glare to saddened' hearts, while others are pule
moonbeans, pushing along through misty mesheg
of darkness In search of something they can cure.
It euros blood disposes and poisons, catarrh, old
Ulcers, scrofula, rheumatism, skin diseases, kid:
ney troubles, etc, and we hold a 82 page book full
of evidence Atlanta evidence - that cannot be
doubted proving all we clulni- Our certificates are
not phantasiuagoriaal, nor far fetched, but are
voluntary outbursts of men and women of Atlanta.
RIIEDMATI8W.
Although a practitioner of near twenty years,
my mother Influenced me to procure B. B B. for
her. She had been confined to her bed several
monthj with rheumatism which had stubbornly
resisted all the usual remedies. Within twenty
four hours after commencing B. B. B. I observed
marked relief. She has JaH commenced her third
bottle and Is nearly as active as ever, and has been
In the front yard "rake In hand," cleaning up.
Her Improvement Is truly wonderful and lnimenns
