Washington, June ".In marked con trast with the exciting incidents at tending the hitter struggles of the clos ing hours of the session. Speaker Hen derson laid down his gavel at 5 o'clock this afternoon at the conclusion of one of the most picturesque scenes which has ever occurred in the Hall of Repre sentatives. Party passion and personal rancor, which have l.rought the House to the brink of actual riot several times during the last forty-eight hours, gave way in the closing half hour to good fellowshif. which found vent in a pa triotic out. :st that stirred the crowd ed galleries to the highest pitch of en thusiasm. During a brief recess taken within thirty minuti-s !' the time fixed for the final adjournment to give the Pres ident an opportunity to affix his signa ture to the bills that were being rushed to him for approval a group of mem bers, led by Messrs. Mercer, of Ne braska; Hall, of Texas; Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts. ai;d Tawney, of Minne sota, eongregat'-d in the arena to the eft of the Spcti lei's rostrum and began ringing patriotic airs. The galleries were b;: i iked to the doors. "Columbia, i f the i" e;in," "A u M I.ang Syne," "The K-d. White and ICue" sue cessive y rang out. As the singing proceeded members joined l'i- gimips until, without regard .o age or parly, the entire membership jf the House joined in the choruses. 1'lie spectators in t lie galleries applaud ed each song until the strains of "Dixie" illeil the hall. Then their unbounded enthusiasm broke out in wild cheers, tlut the enthusiasm "Dixie" evoked was lot to be cnriipaied with the remarka ble demonstration which followed when, n a clear. iir ;-ing tenor Mr. Fitzgerald, jf Mass:t( -hu: etts. star ted the national inlhcti. with tie inspiring words, "Throegh the ii;:i!':- early light."

The report was accepted, but the Senate refused to re quest another coin, t m e, although Mr. Hale expressed the b. lief that an agree ment might be reached. There was an evident disposition on the part of the Si na'e to make trouble if the confines should recede from the Senate a:r.i ndnier.t us to the ocean surveys, and it was deemed the wiser policy to afl'i'fd the House an oppor tunity again to pass upon the ques tion.

June 7. The last act of Secretary Long before departing for Annapolis last evening was to sign an order terminating the former order of suspension in the case of Commander Todd, chief of the naval hydrographic ethce. The otticer was relieved from duty because he had addressed letters to persons not in the naval service, seeking their aid in the struggle the hydrographic office was making to con trol the surveys as against the coast survey. This excited the ire of Repre sentative Cannon, who was leading the right in behalf of the civil bureau, and led to an official complaint by him. A LARGE REFINERY I? URN ED. Savannah. f!a.. June 7.

Thirty-One Am-rleana Hold l IlaB dred Filip.'n-ta al Bay Dnrlns Fonr Daya of F! n tt t i: litinsv O0ly Thirteen iif Hie nealfged Parly Saved. Washington, June 8. Perhaps the most thrilling and picturesque incident of the entire Philippine war occurred at Catubig, on the island of Samar, where, on April loth, last, a party of thirty-one enlisted en of Company H, Forty-third Infantry Volunteers, held at bay a force of some 600 insurgents during four days' of the fiercest fight ing, re-inforcements arriving Just in the nick of time. The War Department has received reports from Colonel H. M. Day, of the Forty-third Volunteer Infantry, and First Lieutenant J. T. Sweeny, of that regiment, who commanded the rescue party, giving all the details of the at tack, the siege, and the relief. According to these reports, the at tack on the garrison at Catubig began without warning on Sunday morning, April 15th. From the hills on all sides, from every point of vantage in town, and from a deserted church directly adjoining came a rifle and cannon fire of terrible intensity. On Tuesday morn ing handfulls of burning hemp were thrown into the barracks from the in surgents in the church, and soon the soldiers' refuge was on fire. All efforts to subdue the fire failed, and finally the little band made a dash for the river bank. Some were killed before the bank was reached, others fell dead in a boat w hich they were at tempting to make the opposite shore with, and when a trench finally was dug with bayonets, there were but six teen of the thirty-one left to man it. Here for two days more Corporal Car son, handling his men with the judg ment of a veteran, held out under a terrible fire, until Lieutenant Sweeny's command, which had been ordered to supplement the garrison at Catubig and was on its way up the river on the steamer Laoaug, arrived. Not until within a quarter of a mile of Catubig. says Lieutenant Sweeny in his report, did they hear the noise of the engagement. Then he realized that he and his men were sorely needed, and ordered the captain of the steamer to run his boat at top speed. The Laoang steamed up to Catubig under a rain of Mauser bullets from both shores. Two small boats were lowered, a landing effected, and the rescuers fought their vay through the open to their be sieged comrades in the trenches, buried the dead within reach, brought back to the boat the besieged party, number ing now only thirteen men, and then steamed down the river. Captain Day bestows the highest ommendation upon Corporal Carson as displaying extraordinary good judgment in the handling of his men, hereby saving the lives of the sur-.-ivorts, and protecting the wounded un it relief came." To each of the little command, and heir rescuers, he gives the highest .raise. riXVlN'.

A copy of he Manila Times received by the dzuma Maru. tells of an important iscovery of insurgent documents and dher articles which had been hidden !y the Filipinos. It says: On May 2d General F"unston was making a personal reconnaissance with eighteen troops in the direction of Bon gabon and Pentabagan, up the Rio Grande de Papapamnga, when he dis covered a perpendicular ladder leading up a cliff crowned with a dense forest, lit side the ladder hung a rope which, when pulled, rang an alarm beJl in the woods back of the precipice. The General and his men ascended the ladder and found thirty or forty large wooden cases crammed full of State documents, comprising most of the archives of the government. There were other things saved from the wreck of Maloslos, about 1000 Hotch kiss shells, a quantity of dynamite, a stock of bombs, and much other am munition, 200 pounds of black gun pow der, office furniture from the Maloslos Auliencia, carpets, chairs, tables and a lot of miscellaneous goods of no spe cial importance. The documents were the principal prize. After a good inspection as cir cumstances permitted. General Fun ston set aside several tons of useless rubbish and burned it on the spot, sav ing the State papers. These comprise all the correspondence of Aguinaldo and his chief official from the time of the earliest dealings with Dewey down to the hurried migration from Malolos. (Archives subsequent to that date were, it will be remembered, taken at Tarlac in the middle of last week). There are letters to and from Wild man and Dewey, besides several busi ness firms in Manila. Aguinaldo's own letter book, giving press copies of everything lie wrote, is also there. It is rumored that the correspondence shows some firms in Manila to have had rela tions with the rebels heretofore un suspected. The w hole cache was ingeniously hid den among the trees in the ravine and roofed over heavily with nipa to an unusual thickness. The structure made quite a big warehouse, with not an inch of space vacant. It was found later, that there were other approaches to the cac he just like the one described, With alarm bells everywhere. URGED KRCGEIi TO TREAT FOR PEACE. Lorenzo Marques, June 8. United States Coi sul Mollis, who returned here yesteiday from the Transvaal by special train, had a two hours' inter view m close conference with President Kruger at Machadorp. It is stated that Mr. Hoihs was the bearer of friendly dispatches from the United States Gov ernment ur-gii): Mr. Kruger to treat for peace. Washington. June S. Secretary Hay says in reference to the Lorenzo Marques dispatch, stating that it was believed United States Consul Hollis had been negotiating with President Kruger to bring about peace, by direc tion of the Washington Government, that Mr. Hollis had no authority what ever from the State Department to make a trip into the Transvaal, and furthermore, the State Department did not know of any such intention on his part. The consul had no right to go into foreign territory without permission from the State Department, but as it is assumed that his visit was of a purely personal character no attention will be paid to his resorted actions.

London, June 6.-4:35 a. m. Queen Victoria, surrounded by the Duke and Duchess of York, Princess Christian, Princess Victoria and many other no tables of her court, drank to the health of Lord Roberts and the army at Bal moral last evening. A great bonfire, lighted at Her Majesty's command, blazed on Craiggown mountain, illu minating the countryside for miles around. The nation joins in the toast, glorifying Lord Roberts and turbulent ly rejoicing in iiis victory. The dispatches of Lord Roberts, tell ing of the incidents before the sur render of the capital by three civilians, stand alone, as the correspondents with him not yet had their turn with the wires. Lord Roberts' postscript announcing the loss of the Yeomanry battalion came too late for the public to know it last evening. The newspaper com mentators consider the incident de plorable, but as having no weight to speak of on the results. The battalion numbered between 400 and 500. General Botha and most of his men got away from Pretoria. This is in ferred from Lord Roberts' message, but the presumption is that the Boer com mandant General cannot escape the British dispositions without a fight. Operations elsewhere seem to have dwindled to nothing. General Baden Powell joined General Hunter on Sun day at Lichtenburg. Sir Redvers Bul ler has not moved. Bennet Burleigh, wiring from Johannesburg, says President Kruger took 2,000,000 in cash to Middleburg. Mr. Burleish and Guy H. Scull, an American correspondent, entered Johannesburg the night before Lord Roberts occupied the city and made a tour of it unmolested by the burghers. London, June 5. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, almost eight months after the declaration of war. Lord Roberts entered Pretoria. While the commander-in-chief of the greatest army Great Britain ever put in the field was fulfilling the promise he made to the Guard at Bloemfontein, to lead them into the capital of the Transvaal, Eng land was celebrating the event with wild enthusiasm. Throughout the length and breadth of the country the news spread like wildfire. Based on the recollection of recent European wars, when the occupation of the en emy's capital signified the end of hos tilities, Lord Roberts' terse telegram was universally taken to mean the practical finish of the war which has tried Great Britain's military resources as they were never tried before. In London the Mansion House and the War Office almost instantaneously be came the centres for jubilant throngs. Flags again appeared as if by magic, and traffic had to be diverted through other streets. Joyful throngs thunder ed cheers and sang "God Save the Queen." Hats hoisted from thousands of heads vveie waved in exultant hands and s-himinercd like a coal-bed in the fun. Lord Roberts' six miles spruit dis patch was hardly printed by the "ex tras" before the Cnion Jack of the War Office was hauled up the flagstaff and the brief message was passed from mouth to mouth: "Pretoria is occu pied." The pressure of General French north of the Boer capital came as a surprise and explained the commander-in-chief's retriever anent the position of the en ergetic cavalry leader. It was evident that Lord Roberts delayed attacking until all his columns were ready to co operate. Judging from Lord Roberts' phrase ology, the occupation of Pretoria was not accompanied by any loss of life. What has happened to the Boer forces which so insistently opposed the Brit ish advance at Six Miles Spruit et only be surmised. But presumably they have got away, for the present, at any rate. The latest press dispatches from a representative of the Associated Press at Pretoria, dated June 3d, quote Gen eral Botha as saying: "So long as we can still count on our thousands of willing men, we must not dream of retreat or throwing away our independ ence." General Botha, it is added, annulled the regulations appointing a special committee to preserve order, substitut ing military control for that of the committee. General Lucas Meyer adds that the burghers on the Church square urged them all to stand fast. Thus, though their efforts were piti fully futile, it is evident that a few faithful Boer Generals worked desper ately to resist the overwhelming force of Lord Roberts' army. The War Office has information that one of the first things done by Lord Roberts after the occupation of Pretoria was to direct General French to relieve the British prisoners confined at Waterval. Bells were rung, (lags were flown and holidays were declared all over Eng land. The Lord Mayor or" London. Mr. A. J. Newton, has cabled to Lord Roberts: "The Empire vvill never forget what you and the forces under your com mand have accomplished. Accept the grateful congratulations of the citizens of London." London, June 9.-3:13 a. m. General Buller has at length taken the offensive ind by manoeuvring, he has secured a position west of Laing's Nek, by which he believes he can make the Boer positions untenable. Presumably !ie will immediately follow up his suc cess. Lord Roberts has communicated nothing for three days, nor permitted the correspondents to wire what is go ing on. London's inference is that he Is resting, although he is possibly dispos ing of his army for a reach after Commandant-General Botha. A blockade of the wires, owing to the crush of official correspondence, may account for the scanty press dis patches. Some telegrams filed a week ago are only just now arriving. Among these are spirited descriptions ot the fighting at Elandsfontein. According: to one of them the streets were filled with women and -children. Rifle shots could be heard everywhere. The Brit ish soldiers would stop firing and join in the chase after chickens. The burghers surrendered to anyone. Kaffirs went about looting the Jewish Stores, and mounted infantry galloped hither and thither. The Daily Express has the following from Pretoria, dated Wednesday: "The one thousand prisoners who we're de ported from Waterval were told that they were about to be given up to Lord Roberts. They entrained cheer rully and were conveyed to Nooit Geu ache instead of Pretoria. "Genet al Louis Botha, with a rear guard . f 2000. left Pretoria during the night. The British advance guard on entering the town was upon the very heels of the retiring Boers. Botha has sworn to .airy on the war in the mountains." At Lorenzo Marques station a crowd waited all Thursday night to see Pres ident Kruger. as it was reported that he would arrive by a special train to gain an asyium on hoard the Nether lands cruiser Friesland.

London, June 8. 11:25 p. m. The War Office has received the following dispatch from General Buller: "Yellow Boom Farm, June 8. On June 6th General Talbot Coke, with the Tenth Brigade and the South African Light Horse, seized Van-Wyke Hill. The enemy made some resistance, and a good deal of sniping occurred. Our casualties were about four killed and thirteen wounded. During that day and the following we got two 4." and two 12-pounder naval guns on to Van Wyke hill and two 5-inch guns onto the southwestern spur of Inkevvelo. Under cover of their fire General Hild yard to-day assaulted all the spurs of the berg between Botha's Pass and Inkevvelo. The attack, which was well planned by Hiidyard and carried out with immense dash by the troops, for whom no mountains were too steep, outflanked the enemy, who were forced to retire from their very strong posi tion. I think we did not have any cas ualties, and I hope P have obtained a position from which I can render Laing's Nek untenable." THE CROP CONDITIONS. Washington, June 5. The Weather Bureau's weekly summary of crop con ditions says: Over the central and Eastern portions of the cotton belt there has been a general improvement in cotton, although slow growth is re ported from Georgia and South Caro lina, where rain is needed. In Texas planting is not yet completed and the crop has suffered much from excessive rains, is much in need of cultivation and is being damaged by insects. The week has been exceptionally favorable for trans-planting tobacco in the Ohio valley and Middle Atlantic States, the bulk of the crop in Ken tucky having been set. INSTRUCTED F.;lt iJitiV,;:.
