WASHINGTON , Aug 29 Washington In
fast Icing deserted. President Cleveland has
iilready gone oft to Gray Cliblea , nnd nil tlio
members of the cabinet arc preparing to take
advantage of tlio adjournment of congress to
srcnrc vacations. In n very short time there
will tie hut few of the higher officials of the
government left In the city.
President Cleveland left v'a ' the Pennc/l-
vanla railroad nt 7 20 o'clock Mils morning
on his way to -Joln hla wife and babies at
Gray Gables Ills companions on the trip
were Secretary Lament , who goes to Join his
fitnlly at Hay View. Long Island , Private
Secretary Thurber , who Is bound for Marlon ,
Mass. , where his family nro summering , and
n gentleman whoso face was not familiar
to the railroad officials. The party nrrl\ed at
the station n few minutes after 7 o'clock and
proceeded at once to the private car of Presi
dent Roberta , which was attached to the
regular New York train. The president took
a Beat on tlio platform of the cir and with
the rest of the company watched the arrl\.il
of other early passengers There was a good
sl/ed crowd In the station when the president
arrived there , most of whom vvero encamp
ment visitors waiting for trains to go home
Tow know that the president was expected
The exodus of other prominent members
of the administration Is very marked Sec
retary Herbert Is already making a tour of
Inspection of the government navy jards
nnd stations along the north Atlantic coast.
Secretary Lament's respite will bevlth his
family at Bay View , LOUR Islam ) and all
that prevents Secretary Grcsham from ar
ranging to temporarily put aside the business
of the State department Is that there are a
few troublesome foreign questions demand
ing his presence here for awhile at least.
Me will shortly , however , take a vacation
which will be spent In part In fishing
Attorney General Olney will sp'ivl his va
cation In and about Boston He Ins decided
thnt It Is too late In the season , to ocen his
summer residence at Kalmouth , Mass , so ho
will remain quietly at his Ilos'on home during
Iho three or four weeks he expects to be ab
sent from Washington. He hopes to be able
to leave here today or tomorrow.
Secretory Carlisle has mada no arrange
ments for a vacation , and It Is expected that
the administration of the new tariff act may
Jcrep him here for some time yet
Secretary Smith will epcnd ten days or n
fortnight In Georgia He has Just returned
from a short vacation to Ocean City , Md , and
will leave again early next week , probably
.Monday evening for hlfl state. Ho will visit
at botli Atlanta and Athena , where his family
returned last Monday. Georgia democrats
expect him to make several tpeeches while la
Atlanta.
Postmaster General Dlsscll disposed of a
Rood deal of current business yesterday , and
left last night for Iluffalo. where Mrs BIssell -
sell returns from Kenncbunkport , Me. Ho
will appnil nil of his vacation In New York
state , and expects to resume his duties at the
Postofllco department during the first week of
October , during most of his absence First
Assistant Postmaster Jones will be acting
postmaster general
Secretary Merion of the Agricultural de
partment will spend his vacation In Europe.
He has planned to leave In the middle of
September , and his Itinerary Includes n visit
to Germany , England and France. Ho will
be accompanied by his eldest son , and will
Ixi away live or .six weeks M Dabnoy , the
nalstant secretary will be acting bccrctary
during Mr. Morton's absence
Very few senators or members of the house
nro left In the city As soon as the gavel
fell yesterday , senators and representatives
who had remained In Washington until the
end went at unco to their homes and took
their baggage , already picked , and departed.
Some had made arrangements to leave at
onre , anil others leave today Probably a
half-dozen senators and a do/en members
of the house will delay their departure fern
n few days , but there will be very few mem
bers of congress ID Washington by the end
of the week.
It has been generally remarked among
those who have keen different sessions of
congress end that they never- saw such a
tame close as thnt presented yesterday. It
BO happened that the many visitors In the
city prevented the lack of Interest from en
tirely engulfing the sallerles , bjt even with
the crowds In the city , there was pltnty of
room for spectators -who desired to see the
second session of the Torty-thlrd congress
end Its day There weie fewer than twenty
{ senators In the senate at the close , and the
number of representatives In the house was
not more than forty. It seemed to the spec
tators that congress faded away Instead of
adjourning.
There were only three * or four members
of 'the house about the capital today , and
only one senator put In an appearance up to
noon. .Every nook and cranny of the build
ing Is entirely given over to the tourist , who
nro piloted about In squads by guides.
The Congressional Itecord will not be
printed for n week yet , but even the coveted
"leave to print" seems to hold members hero ,
and there Is a short supply to Keep this pub
lication going.
General Catching-- Mississippi Is prepar
ing an Vlabarnte rev low of the work of con
gress which Is to b6 printed In the record ,
nnd will be probably used as n campilgn
document by the democratic political com
mittees.
Representative Cannon cf Illinois has leave
tj print also a review from the republican
blandpolnt. One of the cop > rights taken out
at HIP congressional Ilbiary as for a similar
review of the work of this congress by ex-
Speaker Thomas 1J. Itied.
NEW YO11K , Aug. 29. President Cleveland -

vate Secretary Thurber and Dr. Bryant , ar

party , with the exception of Secretary Lament

p.irtmoiit Concerning It.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 29 , A bulletin on
wheat as animal food has boon Issued by
the Agricultural department. It was com
piled by I ) , K , Salmon , chief of the animal
Industry bureau of the department , and is
In response to Inquiries ns to the value of
wheat for growing and fattening animals ,
suggested by the important change In the
comparative prices of wheat , corn and oats.
The bulletin advocates the use of screenings
and Imperfect wheat ns unlmul food and the
placing of only the best wheat on the mar
ket. A statistical table bhows the near approach
preach chemically of 200 pounds of wheat
to the German stirulard ration for growing
cattle from C la 12 months of age. Equal
parts of wheat and corn should , however ,
prove better for fattening animals than
either of those grains alone.
" \Vlicii wheat ami corn arc the same price-
per bushel , " says the bulletin , "It Is prefer
able tn feed wheat nnd tell corn Flrt-v be-
rauso wheat weighs 7 per cent heavier per
bushel than corn ; eecondlv , because wheat Is ,
weight for -weight , r.n equally good grain
for fattening animals and better for growing
animals , and thirdly because there Is much
leis value In fertilizing elements removed
from Iho farm In corn than In wheat. Wheat

WASHINGTON , Aug. 2 Ofllcers of the
supreme court are Intcrest-d In the decision
of Judge Parker In the Hudson case at Fort
Smith , Ark It was , stated nt the court that
there Is evidently some feeling existing In
the matter , as the supreme court has recently
overturned many of the decisions of Judga
Parker The order of Justice W. A White
granted a writ of error in the case of 'Hud
son , who was. convicted In Judge Parker's
court , thus bringing the case b fore the
supreme court of the United States toi trial
This action was taken under the act of
Match 3 , 1801 , creating the circuit court of
appeals , which provides that criminal cases
from certain districts ( the one presided over
by Judge Parker InciUded ) , could be appealed
directly to the supreme court The supreme
court made a rule governing s > uch cases , and
It was under this rule thnt Justice White
acted The rule provides that an appeal for
vacation by any justice of the supreme court
a writ of error under the act of March i ,
1891 , may be allowed In term tlmo or In
and that In cases of a conviction of nn In
famous crime , the accused may be admitted
to ball by the circuit or district Judge of
the court appealed from In such amount as
may bu Ilxed. In the act establishing the
United States court congrss granted It the
power to make such rules to govern Hi own
affairs as the court Itself should deem ad
visable. It Is held that the rules of the
supreme court of the United States were
equal to the Jaw so far as they relate to
courts over which the law gives the supreme
court Jurisdiction , as In the case of Hudson.
Justice White fld the amount of the bond
at $5.000. $ It had only to be approved by
Judge Parker to become operative.

from men who are completely In his con

If. therefore , nothing occurs to alter the sit

v.ill be declared the candidate of the demo
cratic party In the Second district with

MAKTINSDUUG , W. Va , Aug 29. Chair
man Wilson of the wajs and means com
mittee , the democratic tariff leader In the
house of representatives , was renominated
for congress todaj. Mr. Wilson made a nota
ble address to the convention. I" ' said.
Your generous notion conies at tt'ie end of
one of the greatest ami most monstrous
struggles that 1ms maikcd our political
hlstor > , and It comes In such avny us
to stamp with your approval , as constl-
tU'-nts and democrats , the bervlces which
jour representative was called upon to ren
der for the Bupiemary of democratic prin
ciples and the fulfillment of democratic
pledges.
I'ellow citizens , there are other thoughts
that till sour minds today Ihe congress
which adjourned yesterday wns dunged by
the people with a duty clear , unmistakable ,
transcendent. This -was the Inspiring mis
sion which the democratic partj had long
poUKht from the American people , power
ami authority to perform In this sieat
vvoilt your own representative , thanks to
your kindness In RItinting him a long pub
lic service , was assigned an Important nnd
most arduous part. No man could fitly
undertake to frame a revenue bill for a
nation of 70,000,000 people , unsurpassed In
worth , and the m.iKiiltude and variety of
Ihelr Industrial and commercial Interests ,
to inuge monopoly from that system to
replace class exaction 1) > public taxation ,
privilege by equality , to lighten the burden
of the people , secure larger rewards for
their labor and freer iW ) > for their Indus-
tiles , -without being appalled by the great
trust committed to him and the ilimcultles
In the vvay of Us successful performance.
No man could worthily approach such a
work -without putting nw.iVi fiorn him any
petty personal ambition ; an > selllsh con
cern for his own political future No man
could hope for any measure of real success
who vvfre not willingto dictate to such n
task everv power of body and mind with n
humble Invocation for strength nnd wls-
I cannot claim to have rl = en to the full
height of IhlH dutv. but 1 have never falt
ered In the belief that you mv friends and
constituents , expected and desired me to
enter upon m > vvoik In this spirit to per
severe to Its close I know that the demo
crats of West Vlislnla. were protectionists
for We t \ Irulnlu and reformers and free
traders for other states ISut If I hail known
otherwise , I should not have gone aside
one step from what -was to me the clear
pathway of my duty to all the people.
I need tiot icclte to von the successive
steps , thf material and Ijuneful alterations
through which the house bill quietly passed
Into u law yesterday morning , without the
signature nnd approval of the president ,
who was elected upon the Nsue of tariff re
form and i\ho anticipated ns the signal
triumph nnd hlitoilc achievement of Ills
administration the pi Ivliege of afllxlm ? his
name to a genuine nnd thorough reform
bill You know by what Inlluences this was
brought about
1 am not sure but that this very partial
failure to redeem our pledges may not be
the harbinger and insurance of a speedier
and moie complete triumph ot commercial
ficcdom , than the smooth nnd unobstructed
Iia agc of the house bill would have been.
The American people are aroused ns hardly
anything else could have aroused them to
the deadly menace whlcli protection begets
to the purity and the very existence ot free
( Tovernmpnt. Thov have s-een a dingle great
trust empowered liy our tariff laws to con
trol the production and sale of a necessary
of life , parceling out the country with Us
partners and using Its law-made wealth nnd
power to thwart the best efforts of the
people to reduce their own taxation. They
have seen It hold up congress for weeks
and have heard Its representatives boldly
declare that there would be no tariff bill
In which their Interests were not protected ,
nnd they have realized the llnal fulfillment
of the boast When the Sugar trust thus
challenges the Ameilcan people to n contest
of "strength Its days are numbered , Its tem
porary triumph is Its speedier nnd more
complete overthrow nnd with HH overthrow
will vanish Its slBter brood of monopolies
that are strong through Its support.
Hut , my filends , there Is another and
brighter Hide to this picture With all Us
manifold failuicK , Its final retention of many
protective duties. Its objectionable sugar
schedule , and Its exceslve duties on cotton
and woolens nnd metiils , th ? new bill car
ries in It very substantial relief to the people
ple , and must be accepted as a substantlnl
beginning of thoiough und progressive tariff
reform
Itut , as the president well said , we have
gained a vantage ground , from which we
shall continue to shell the camp of monopoly
ely The day of mad protection Is over in
this country ; McKlnleylsm will disappear
as n dark nnd hldcus lillght from our
statute books The Hnht will go on. not
maybe In such n general engagement and
protracted stiuggle as we have just passed
through , but that utendy and resistless
pressure that will take one after another
of the strongholds of privilege until nil
Khali disappear before Ihc advance of p ib-
lle emancipation If the closeness of the
vote In one house of congress gave oppor
tunity for a few to combine against the
people nnd against all the rest of their
party , and obstruct Its faithful efforts to
redeem Its pledges , the overwhelming mass
of HIP democrats In the eountiy nro subject
to nn lust crltlcl m They have kept the
faith They have bfon true to their prin
ciples. If we ha\e done less In the way
of relieving the people's buiden than we
ImTl hcped and piomlned. they would hiive
done nothing nt nil If we have anywhere
uneovcred a tru t and found It too strong
foi our complete illstodjincut in the llrst
nttempt we havi > never failed to find them
plmdlly and solid b arrayed for Its defense.
Thf weapons with which monopoly has
fouuht UK they have forged nnd tempered
nnd supplied. The entrenchments arid fort-

Mr Kemper also opposed that portion of the

support and Mr Scott's resolutions were
cirrlsd The resolutions did not pledge
the organization to the support of a fus on

DHNVKR , Aug. 29. The arrest ot Gov
ernor * Waite and oflicials or the police de
partment on a charge of detaining and open
ing a letter Intended for ex-1'ollce Matron
Tlkens has not caused much excitement ,
being generally regarded as n mere political
move. Populists who are working to pre
vent the nomination ot Walte declare that
republicans who dsslrc to have the governor
renominated , believing he will be the weakest
candidate the populists , can name , caused
h.s arrest for the purpos of arousing sjm-
pathy for him in bis pjrty.and stampeding
the conventtnn. On O > $ > other hand , re
publicans say that It H purelypojltlcal
fight between the Cleveland ( white wings )
democrats and the populists. The letter
In question w&s enclosed In an envelope
and addressed "Police Matron , Denver , " and
was opened by Matron Dwyer.
The governor appeared today to be enjoy
ing the excitement his adventure had caused
among his sympathizers. He admitted
having seen the letter from Jesse Parr of
Pueblo to the pol ce matron asking her to
secure a housekeeper for him , which he
was accused of having unlawfully detained ,
but that was all he know about the matter j
Judge Sales , who will delend the1 governor |
and his alleged fellgw conspirators before
United States Commissioner Hlnsdale to
morrow , said he would have no difficulty In
securing the acquittal of his cl ents.

The adoption as their puppet of the king of

Clarence and his follqvv rs were tr.antferred
to Jamaica at the etpcnso of the Hrltlsh

qulto chief proved an object of Interest and
amus m nt to the other passengers Chief
Clarence , according to the story of ono of
the pas senders , usid to strut about the saloon
deck nrrnjed In gay attire , made up ot a

as being about 20 years old , with a very djrk
skin und a pronounced negro tvpo of face and
a person of more than average IntellJu nee

Nlraraguans had arrested the Americans and
Biltlsh repiesentatlve. The refuge-es were
transferred fr m the United States gunboat
to the Mohawk and were sent to Jamaica
by ( he Alcna It was the opinion of the
ofi1c > eT8 and passengers of the Ale-no that but

sels there would have been some loss of life ,
as the ts'IcarJiKii.an officials showed a dlsposl-

thB customary Central American way
"They have n rapid transit method of
dealing with political prisoners down there "
said our of the passengers on the Alena.
"The Nlcaraguaa soldiers are very little
better than the Indians and they are handy
with the machatt and can lop the head off at
one cut They do not stand on ceremony
and they would as soon kill a man as cat
breakfast. The only th ng that restrained
them wns the pres nee of the men-of-war
and the fear of Ihc consequences should they
resort to any extreme measures " Another
passenger said that when the Marblehead
left Minefields for C lon the Mohawk went
for coal or to communicate with the Hrltlsh
'dnilrally from Port Llmon the Marblehead
did guard duty The white residents ct
