WASHINGTON , July 30. The names
of thu members of congress whom Mr.
Watson of Georgia had in mind when
he wrote in his book about drunken
congressmen on the floor of the house
did not come out this morning in the
investigation of the special committee
appointed yesterday to inquire into
the charges.
Mr. Watson was the first witness.
lie said that he knew enough to sub
stantiate the charges he had matle.
He would regret to mention names
and would only do so un compul-
sion. lie had in mind two mem
bers present during- the debate
on the silver bill at a night
session early in Mar. . . when he
wrote about members reeling on the
lloor of the house in a state of intox
ication. The phrase "drunken speak
ers debating- grave questions'1 referred
to one speaker on one occasion only
the Noyes-Rock well debate. In his
opinion that speaker was in a state of
maudlin intoxication. In front
of the speaker was a cup
and saucer. Its contents were
replenished several times and it
was noticed that the more he drank
the more he wandered in his argument.
He heard the speaker say to a page :
"Bring' me more of that stitff that
whisky. " He regarded the speaker as
a lovable and honorable man and one
who no doubt regretted the o jcurrence
as much as one possibly could. Wit
ness would not shrink from mention
ing names i forced to the Issue. His
hesitation came from a desire to shield
the persons concerned.
Chairman Boatner said that the com
mittee would consider whether or not
it would ask for names.
Representative Otis of Kansas said
that he had seen evidences of intoxica
tion on the part of members on two
occasions. Asked about the degree of
intoxication of the member addressing
the house while under the influence of
liquor , he said : "He was pretty
well set up. I thought the longer lie
proceeded the worse he grew. " Wit
ness told Representative Simpson that
most certainly he had noticed drink
ing habits on the part of members.
Coming from a prohibition state it was
perhaps more noticeable than it would
have been otherwise.
Miss Dwyer , a congressional report
er of the National Economist , corro
borated the testimony of the other
witnesses as to the member under the
influence of liquor addressing the
house.
Representatives Halvorsen of Min
nesota , Butler of Ohio , Shell of South
Carolina , Clover and Davis of Kansas
and" others testified to having seen
members intoxicated on different
occasions , and in one case while a
member was addressing the house.
Baker of Kansas recalled four in
stances.
Mr. Watson then wanted to prove
the existence of a bar-room in the
capitol building , but Chairman Boatner
would not let him and would not agree
that the record should show the re
fusal.
By a vote of Messrs. Boatner ,
Buchanan of Virginia , Wolvertonand
Grout , against Mr. Simpson , a motion
to admit evidence of drinking in the
house restaurant was overruled.
Representative Logan had gone home
and this closed the evidence Mr. Wat
son had to present , except that he said
that if any point was made of the
words of "maudlin rambling" he
wished to have the original steno
graphic notes.
THE RECORD MUST SUSPEND.
All Government Printing Stopped for
Lack of Funds.
WASHINGTON , July 30. As soon as
the house met to-day , filibustering
upon the world's fair amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
resumed and there was no prospect of
a cessation of hostilities.
Mr. Holman , of Indiana , offered a
resolution extending the appropria
tions carried by the sundry civil bill of
last year until August 4 , but Mr. Hop
kins , of Illinois , objected and the
speaker said that the resolution was in
nature of an appropriation bill. The
pending business was also an appro
priation bill , and he did not think that
he resolution had any priority , but as
the question was a most important one
he would inquire further.
The house then adjourned , out of
respect to the memory of Representa
tive Craig , but not before a protest
had been made by Mr. Reed , who
thought that the house should , in the
present state of business , remain in
session.
The sundry civil bill having failed
to pass and the resolution to extend
the appropriations of last year not
having been agreed to , work in the
government printing office must cease
at midnight , as , under a strict con
struction of the law , the public printer
will be unable to continue , but can
keep only a sufncient force to protect
public property. The work of the
office will -contested and even , the
Recorder 'cannot-be issued.
THE OPTIONS. BILL SHELVED.
ScnatoclVnshbnrho Hews to t&e Jucvitablo
ml Consents to Postponement.
WASirnJGTOX , July 30. The attend
ance of senators to-day was below tjie
nuprum pointf , Tufc attention Was not
called to the fact , and routine business
was proceeded with. Mr. Higgins
offered , si. .resolution directing an in
vestigation of the Canadian Pacific
railroad company , Us large subventions
from the Canadian and British govern
ments and its discriminations against
American railroads and a report as to
the propriety of suspending the privi
leges of the transit trade , and such
other legislation as might appear nec
essary in order to protect the internal
and foreign commerce of the United
States against Canadian aggression.
Mr. Allison introduced , with an ex
planation of the facts necessitating it ,
a joint resolution continuing the ap
propriations for the service of the
government , covered by the sundry
civil appropriation bill , up to and in
cluding \Vflncsday next It was
passed.
Mr. Washburne made another futile
attempt to get unanimous consent to
have the anti-option bill voted on next
week , and then adopted the suggestion
of Mr. Gibson of Louisiana to let the
matter go over till next session as tm-
finishr 1 business. That cou.se was
adopted.
After appointing a committee con
sisting of Messrs. Cameron , Carey and
Gorman to attend Mr. Craig's funeral ,
and after the vice president was in
structed to telegraph absent senators
to return to the city and to notify
those who were in the city not to leave
until the business of the session was
closed , the senate adjourned.
THE QUEEN IN A QUANDARY.

natives for Her JJritixli Majesty.
LONDON , Aug. J. Land and Water ,
a usually well informed politico-
society journal , says that when the
Duke of Devonshire visited the queen
last week her majesty said that she re
lied upon his advice to assist her in
avoiding the necessity for sending for
? .Ir. Gladstone to form a new govern
ment. The duke , it is reported , said
in reply that there was but one alter
native for her to adopt : She must
either call upon Mr. Gladstone form
a new ministry or abdicate the throne.
Land and Water says the engage
ment of the Duke of York , son of the
Prince of Wales and heir presump
tive to the British throne , to Princess
May , daughter of the Duke of Teck ,
who was betrothed to the Duke of
Clarence and Avondale , at the time of
the latter's death , will be officially
announced soon.

NEBRASKA'S HARVEST.
Reports From Sixty-nlno Countfet
Show a Splendid Condition.
OMAHA , Neb. , July 81 The Bee
will tomorrow publish crop reports
gathered from sixty-nine counties ol
the state. The reports are in ever
instance favorable. Corn has beer
peculiarly handicapped this season. A
cold , backward spring , with rain on
rain absolutely prohibited the planting
of corn on schedule time. Even when
it was planted the grain seemed more
likely to rot than to germinate. Then
the ii.st weeks of its existence were
frowned on by temperature several
degrees below the normal , retarding
and stunting the growth of the plant.
This season of cold weather was fol
lowed by as torrid a term as ever the
state endured , and though the corn
sprang up under the coaxing influence
of the blazing sun , the cry soon went
up , "We will be burned up again. "
Just at this extremely critical stage
there came a most timely general rain.
Now the tassels wave from thousands
of acres of corn , noddingin the breeze ,
telling the husbandman of the millions
of bushels of yellow grain that will
cram the cit B next winter. The rain
saved the corn. The report estimates
an average yield of from fifty to sixty
bushels to the acre.
There is a noticeable feature of this
report , and that is the almost unani-
mouis sentiment in favor of winter
wheat as a profitable crop. To be
sure the season was peculiarly favor
able in some respects for this grain ;
but it has been sown by the majority
of the farmers more as experiment
than as a certainty. The wonderful
yields reported , even from counties
that have suffered severely from dry
weather , are indeed encouraging. The
average yield of this cereal throughout
the state as .ndicated by the counties
reporting will be thirty bushels to the
acre , and the acreage is large.
Oats have suffered considerably
from the weather. The wet , cold
spring delayed seeding for this grain
and retarded its growth. Then June
was dry and cold , and July's first
weeks were extremely hot , thus giv
ing the most favorable conditions for
rust and the poorest for development.
Yet in spite of these discouraging cir
cumstances oats will yield a fair crop ,
geiiei-allj 6G to 75 per cent of last
yoar'f ; yield , which was enormous.
live , like winter wheat , has givea
an enormous yield on a largely in
creased acreage.
Barley , where it is cultivated , has
returned a fair yield. It is hardly to
be reckoned among the staple crops of
Nebraska.
Flax has suffered nitiuli , the condi
tions of the spring being especially
unfavorable , yet in those counties
where the crop is one xvhich some
dependence is placed , a \ cry fair yield
is reported , the estimates ranging
from 50 to 66 per cent of last year's
yield.
Potatoes have suffered only in quan
tity. There will not be quite so boun
tiful a yield as was anticipated , the
early tubers being reported as 'few in
a hill , * ' but the quality is excellent.
The late rains have insured a good
crop of late potatoes , as in only one
of two instancesvhad growth advanced
so far that the hot wave did serious
aamaffe. Several families report the
quality of early potatoes greatly im
proved by the dry weather. Other
vegetables , though , have suffered
jreatly from the heat.
