SESSIoH BRIEF PROCEEDING OF
THE TWO H0T7HE8.
Congress adjourned Friday. It has
;n in session just eight months, less
days. In that time it has made a
ilendid record on account of the ma-
krities of the house and senate being of
liferent political parties. Other than
jcessary legislation, little has been ao-
tplisbed in the way of new general
' legislation.
r THE HOUSE.
Wednesday Filibustering over the
World's fair appropriation was resumed
Wednesday and no quorum voting on a
motion to take recess, the house
adjour"a ' xi a democratic caucus was
' two o'ckKik. Shortly af-
nt an agreement between
tho 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 n
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-
mediate! v rose and moved to suspend the
rules and pass a joint resolution extend
ing until August 10th, the appropriation
by the sundry civil appropriation act ol
last year. Agreed to without opposition.
Mr. Holman then moved to suspend the
rules and pass a resolution that the house
shall con aider the vote by which the houso
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 god deal of excitement The
republifar.s wished an explanation of the
agreemen reached by the democratic
party Wednesday, and when it was read
as published in the newspapers there was
an expre ssion of feeling that it meant
nothing.. Mr. Henderson, of Illinois,
characterized it as partaking somewhat
of the invitation of the spider to the fly
to walk into his parlor. Mr. Dingley
voiced the general opinion of the
republicans that democrats should
assume the whole responsibility. He
did not believe that any action
would be taken toward passing the Dur
borrow bill. The sundry civil bill was
sent to conference by a vote of yeas, 141;
nays, 400. Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania,
moved to j!ispend the rules and pass a
resolution providing that a vote be taken
en the Durbrrow bill at one o'clock Fri
day. The Keilly resolution was agreed
to with' ut serious opposition and amid
applause. The house then proceeded to
a consideration of the Dur borrow bill and
Reilly substitute therefor. The substitute
makes an outright appropriation of $2,
600,000. 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 commis
sioner of pensions. Precisely at 1 o'clock
tho chairman of the committee of the
whole stated thit, 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 the bill. It pro
vides that, if the World's Columbian ex.
positlon 6hall deposit at a .mint of
the United States a sufficient quantity
of silvr bullion, it shall be coined and
delivered to tne exposition in half-dollar
coins, in an amount not exceeding
$5,000,000. Rejected yeas, 80; nays,
139. The bill then passed, yeas, 131,
nays, 83. On motion the vote by which
the bill passed was reconsidered and the
motion to reconsider laid upon the table.
This wns done only after an intffective
attempt was made by Mr. B ily,of Tx,
to filibuster. Tho speaker appointed
Messrs. Fitch, Geissenhainer, Deforest,
Ray and Ilarmer 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, the 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
report, on the Watson charges,
was ovtffted printed; so, also, were
of tbe minority, signed by Mr.
of Kansas. Mr. Grout, of Ver-
ubmitted his individual views.
buse then took a recess until 7 p. m.
evening session of the h'-use was
udedly interesting. The galhries were
tfy.owded and, the spectators were well

njaid for their attendance. Soon after
pier meeting at 7 o'clock, in the evening, the
K? conference report on the snndrv civil bill
-1 j
was brought in. In that bill as it passed
the senate was a
paragraph making a
email appropriation for the employment
of extra capitol policemen during the U
A. R. encampment in September.
An amendment "had been put on it in the
house providing that no company having
a government contract should employ
Pinkerton detectives, or any other armed
men to go from one state to another. The
conference committee cut this out as it
vvas too sweeping in its character.
Tben the . house passed the sundry civil
bill just as" it came from cotference.
The next hour was devoted to the pas
saguof unobjecttd-to pension bills. A
committee was appointed to notify the
president . that the house was ready to
adjourn. That committee reported that
the president, had no further communi
cations to make tho senate. The resolu-
tion to adjourn 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
and retired from the stand the corres
pondents in the press gallery to the num
ber of nearly one hundred sang the
doxology, followed immediately by the
tune of "lie's a jolly good fellow."
THK SENATE.
Tuesday. The attendance of senators
Tuesday was still smaller than on Mon
day, or during most of last week. The
vice president laid before the senate the
resolution reported Monday for the apt
pointment of a select committee bf seven
senators on the employment of Pinkerton
ietectives in labor troubles, i A general
discussion ensued. At 2 o'clock the dis
cussion was suspended and Mr." -Butler
offered a resolution for the reference of
general appropriation bills at the next
session and thereafter to; the standing
committees having the subject matter in
charge, leaving only to the appropriations
committee the legislative, executive end
judiciary appropriation bills, theTsundry
civil bill, the pensions bill and de
ficiency bill. He asked that . the
resolution be laid on, the table, and
he gave notice that he . would call
it up at the beginning of the next ses
sion. Mr. Gorman asked leave of ab
sence for Mr. Bill for the , remainder ' of
the session, and it was granted. The
Pinkerton resolution was then "further
discussed and finslly adopted without
division. It provides for a select com
mittee of seven senators to investigate
and report facts in relation to the em
ployment for private purposes of armed
bodies of mm or detectives , in connec
tion with differences between workmen
and employers ; reasons for creation of
such organized bands of armed men.

and the. senate adjourned. ''v
Wednesday. There were very "few
senators present when Wednesday's ses
sion opened, nor did there appear. to do
any pressure of business before the body.
Leave of absence on account of ill health
was granted to Mr. Kenna. A resolu
tion offered by Mr. Pettlgrew, calling on
the secretary of war for a report as to
all army officers who have been tried by
court martial during the past ten years.
their rank, offense, verdict rendered and
punishment imposed, was the subject of
considerable discussion. The resolution
was finally referred to the committee on
military affairs. The resolution offered
by Mr. Call, of Florida, on the 12th of
May for the appointment of a joint
committee of the two houses to examioe
and report on the commercial and polit
ical conditions of Cuba and West ' India
Islands and their relations to the United
States, was laid befoie the senate.. Its
adoption was opposed by Mr. Sherman as
unwise in every aspect, and as an un
friendly act towards the government
of Spam, and he suggested a comparison
between the proposed inquiry and a like
proposition on the part of the British
government to inquire into the condition
of Utah. It went over again without ac
tion. .
Friday. The joint resolution extend
ing the appropriations made by the sun
dry civil bill of last year to August 10th
was passed. The senate took a recess
until 1 :30. . Immediately after re
assembling a message was received from
the bouse announcing that the speaker
had signed the eurolled joint resolution
extending the appropriations to the tenth
instant: and that the house insisted on
its disagreement to the senate amend
ments on the sundry civil appropriation
bill (World's fair amendments) andgrecd

to a iurtner conierence. ine vrce presi
dent thereupon signed the joint resolu
and it was sent to the president, and on
motion of Mr. Allison senate ajourned
till 2 o'clock Friday.
Friday In the senate, when the Dur-
borow World's fair bill came from the
house, it was read in full and the vice
nresklent having declared that the bill
was ODen to amendment, Mr. Vest said
that if he could defeat it by any parlia
mentary tactics, ' he should do so very
cheerfullv. Other members made a vig
orous kick ugrtinst the measure, while
good arguments were made for the bill
by Mtssrs. Hnwlev -and Palmer. The
bill was finally ordered to its third read
ing and passed without division. After
auother short executive session the house
joiut resolution to pay the salaries of
ofliceis and employes )f congress for the
month of Augast, 1892, in advance,
was laid before the senate, and Mr.
Butler offered an amendment to it,
requiring the session employes of
both hous s (not on the annual
Toll') to be paid their salaries for the
whole mooth of August. The amend
ment was agreed to and the house joint
resolution, as amended, was passed. The
feenste then, at 4:05 o'lock took a recess
till 8 o'clock p. m., to give time for the
enrolling of the world's fair bill and the
sundry civil bill. The senate, at its
evening session, agreed to the confer
ence report on the sundry civil bill. At
10:20 o'clock the signature of the vice
president to the tundry civil bill was
offered. The joint resolution for final
adjournment at 11 o'clock was agreed to.
A committee was appointed to join a like
committee on the part of the house to
wait on the president and inform him
that the two houses were ready to ad
journ. At 11 o'clock the senate ad
journcd sine. die.
NOTES.
ThA ? SOn OAft vnrld'i fair hfll went
through the h'ouse Friday by a larger ma
jority than any one bad anticipated.
The vote was 131 to S3. 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 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
paigns are hot in the districts of the
various members. Consequently, there
was a stampede for home. Some will
come back in December with the flash of
victorious re-election upon their cheeks,
but "man V will bring with them sad tid
ings of defeat. There are many who are
serving their first and last terms as able I
statesmen.

The last' scene in the f anions Alict

the Insane murderess was conveyed to

Before leaving the city, a carriage con
taining the prisoner halted at the Mitch

Reaching Freda Ward's grave in Elm

said nothing, but evidently was under
strong emotion. Her meditation was not
interruptid by the other members of the

an occasional tear, dropping on her
cheeks. She stooped over and plucked
some flowers, which she placed tastefully,

COMPLIMENTING CRISP.
The New York Werld Has Good Things
to Say oi Him.
The New York World of Saturday, In
a review of congress, says of Speaker
Crisp: "No democrat in congress, in
speaking of the record of the present
house, fails to pay a warm tribute to
Speaker Crisp It was claimed for Judge
Crisp by his friends at the time of IU
election that he possesstd all of the qual
ities necessary to success in that responsi
ble cfSce, and it is the general judgment
now that he
has lustined in his high
place the most generous things said of
him. He has been, indeed, a
most model presiding officer, prompt,
courteous, entirely fair to both side8,
and resolute whenever tha occasion de
manded. His decisions have always been
ratified by the house, and his private
counsels to his party friends have always
been to promote an intelligent and
praiseworthy dispatch of business. In
tbe most turbulent times of the session
he has never been betrayed into word or
deed reflecting in the slightest degree on
the dignity of bis situation, or hi- well-e-tabl
ished reputation for good temper
and self-possession. The most experienc
ed of the men in congress unite in say
ing that no speaker to early in his ser
vice in that office ever won for himself
more deserved praise than Mr. Crisp.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
Status of Trade as Reported by B. G.
Dan St Co.
R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: in every respect, save one,
pusiness distinctly improves. Crop pros
pects are cleared, manufacturers are ac
ini? finelv. even in the iron branches, and
iiabor troubles seem1 to approach a settle
ment which is likely to be advantageous
and lasting. The domestic trade is of
enormous value and decidedly the. largest
Pver 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
Ik158 13 moaeraxe; in nqaora sou cu;mi-
erablv exceeds last years, and fair
crops and a large business are expected.
Business at Kansas City is satisfactory,
! though collections are slow, but receipts
0 cttle and erain are larrre at fair
! prices. At .Louisville trade improves and
the outlook is better. At Little Rock
. " .
Pbusiness is

quiet, but at Savannah well
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 hs sold at Pittsburg for $13.90,
and touthern sales at Chicago have de
pressed gray forge to $12, equal to $8.15
at Birmingham. The demand for bar is
more active, and plate, sheet and scruc
tural mills are crowded with orders.
Shoe factories are unusually crowded,
and shipmen's for the wet k reached 90,
000 casts 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, COO, 000 last
year to date.
' Speculation has made higher prices for
1 bread stuffs, half a cent for wheat, in
spite of receipts at the wert exceeding a
million bushels per day with exports of
800.000 bushels in three dayi. Corn has
j been advanced ' nearly 5 cents on sma1!
' sales, and oats 2 3-4 cents, western re
I ports favoring shorter estimates. Cotton
. has declined an eighth on sales of 596,-
900 bales for the week, crop receipts
being more favorable.
C ffee is an eighth stronger and oil
3 8 of a cent lower.
Business failures occurring throughout
the c untry during the bst seven days as
reported to R. G. Dun & Co., number
for the United States, 160. For the cor

TRADE REVIEW.
Dan St Co.'s Report of Business for the
Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The extreme hot weather
for the entire week has checked many
kinds of business, but bus not prevented
considerable excess in the volume of
trade over that of last year. At the same,
time the weaiher has been extremely fa
vorable for growing crops, except in the
limited districts where damage has been
done by violent storms, and the crop
outlook is decidedly improving.
The great interruption of the iron and
steel manufactures at the west continues,
but there are distinct signs of a favorable
settlement. Fii ished products of iron
and steel are strongei $3 to $5 higher,
but great demora izaticn is expected in
pig iron unless more of the consuming
works start speedily. Bar and sheet iron
ure very active, and tbe manufacturers of
pldte a id stiuctut al iron have more orders
taaa they can well handle, but no im
provement is teen in rails.
Boot and shoe shops are running full
of business, and shipments exceed last
year's every week; being for the yewr,
thm far, 2,050.000 cases, against 1.967,
000 to date last year. The shipments of
hides from Chicago have been 110,000,
000, against 97,000,000 pounds last year.
At Baltimore the hot weather retards
much trade, though in dry goods and
boots and shoe? and furnishing goods it
exceeds last year's. At Pittsburg thi
products of steel and iron grow strongei-.
A little improvement appears at Memphis
p.nd Little Rock.
Trade is dull at New Orleans, though
tbe prospects are bright there, and at
Savannah the receipts of cotton are li?ht
and the exports aie sliuhtly more than
last ear, but the sales of plantation
stock for the we-k exceeds the sales of
tansible and visible cotton about ten to
one, aggregating 7,000,000 bales.
