HOW THE SENATF DIES.
I'erltaps the situation In the senate this
afternoon was best expressed by some anonymous -
onymous wag , who posted on the bulletin
board in the senate press gallery the to- !
lowing notice : "Obilt. 4 p. m. , Thursday ,
June 11 , lS9d. of senile debility , First Sea-
sloe of Fifty-fourth Congress. Interment
takes place either at St. Louis or Chicago.
Free silvorites cordially Invited to atten.
Please omit flowers and booms. London
and Now York papers please copy. "
The last day of this session was probably
thu drearloat in its history. Everybody was
depressed and listless. Not. oven the cows
that St. Louis had consented to entertain
& the colored delegates as men and brothers
" _ . could arouse a scintilla of Interest on the
\ floor of either house. The few members
who were present in the senate dozed In
their chairs , or smoked away drowsy hours
In the adjacent cloak' rooms , waiting for
the signature to bihla. Nobody said anything -
thing worth remembering , and nobody ( lid
anything worth noticing. The press gallery
incubatel the only Interesting incident of
tim afternoon. One of the representatives
of the western press , after duo consulta-
tlon with his colleagues , indited a letter ,
In which ho called attention to the mysterious -
terious connection which exists in Senator
Stewarts mind between the execution of
Charles r , the landing at Jamestown , and
the "crime of ' 73. " Ho suggested that now ,
in the closing hours of congress ,
when nobody seemed to have any
particular mission to exploit , would he a
golden opportunity for the venerable senator
from Nevada to explain to a breathless pubic -
] ic , esoteric or otherwise , the lines upon
which he connects these important historic
Incidents. The note was sent to Senator
hawley. It brought tears to hi eyes , but
he did not feel competent to shoulder the
entire responsibility of so important an
Issue. lie called into consultation with him
Senators Cullom and Allison and their
laughter disturbed the sleepers in the cloak
room. Members of the press stood together
as one man in the front row of the gallery
and frowned upon thu levity with which
their communication was received. After a
brief consultation between the distinguished
senators from Connecticut , Illinois and Iowa
Senator Allison approached Senator Stewart
and read to him In a deep dramatic voice
the press gallery communication , much to
the delight and gratification of the senators
'who had been nttractel by the rumor of
a Joke.
But Senator Stewart took it seriously and
would not ho coznorte(1. lie banged his
list. upon his desk and said : "Let them dig
It out themselves. They ought to know , as
any Intelligent iiian does , the vital connection -
tion between these great epochs in history.
Let. them dig it out themselves it they are
so ignoranL I vi1l not reply to auch a
puerile and senile demand. " Senator Allison -
son made a slight obeisance to the press
gallery , smothering a smile with his hand ,
and returned the note to Senator Hkwley.
The latter sent an answer addressed "To
Those Members of the l'ress Still in Washington -
ington , " in which he said that the boys bad
bad their Joke and it was all right.

A like tiresome display was enacted in
the house. Three members ot the Nebraska

bye and many arranged to leave for their
homes tonight.
At 3 o'clock the session was resumed , and
the galleries slowly filled for the closing

ability with which he had presided over the
senate. A similar resolution of thanks to

anl impartial service as presiding oillcer ,
was offered by Mr. Allison. Both resolutions -
tions were unanimously adopted.
A few moments before the hour set for

senate to order , and said : "Senators , I am
deeply touched by the resolutions toward
myself adopted by the senate. It is my
earnest endeavor to execute the rules pro-
scrlbed for the guidance of this body. For

their efforts in that body , the western men
turned thioirattention to the senate. They
secured amendments to the sundry civil
bill and those items were the hardest fought
between the two houses and threatened to
prolong the session for- some days. Senator -
ator Dubois. who engineered the campaign
in the senate , was Importuned to consent
to drop the amendment , but the western
representatives and senators refused to capitulate -
itulate on any condition , and finally the
house accepted them when Mr. Wilson of

\VASIIINGTO , June 11.-The final sea-
sion of the house. today was davold of public
interest , The appropriation bill had been
passed and the members simply waited for
the end to come. A number of the mom-
hers were made happy by the passage of
small local bills of interest to their dia-
tricts. lieyond a little misunderstanding
between Mr. l3aitoy of Texas and Mr. Marsh
of Illinois the utmost good feeling prevailed.
There was ai attempt by Mr. l3ailey and Mr.
Maguire of California. to precipitate a
poltcah discussion In the last halt hour ot
the session. but the republicans declined
the gauntlet of combat thrown down to
them. Mr. Turner , democrat of Georgia ,
who was the floor leader of the minority
during the absence of Mr. Crisp , offered a
resolution of thanks to the speaker , which
was adopted by a standing vote , a most
unusual honor. The speaker closed the sea-
slon with a graceful speech in which he
thanked the members cordially ant ! felicitated -
tated tbent on the work of the session.
Scores of members left the ity last
night , as the appropriation bills were disposed -
posed of , and there were not more than fifty
members on the floor of the house when
it met at 11 o'clock for the final
scsaioa of the first session of
the Fifty-fourth congress. The reading of
the journal of the legislative day of Saturday -
day , which continued from 11 o'clock Saturday -
urday until 11 o'clock last night , con-
sunied half an hour.
On motion of Mr. Dingley a rceolution
was adopted for the appointment of a corn-
mltteo of three members , to join a similar
committee from the senate , to wait on the
president and inform him that congress
was ready to adjourn , and ascertain if he
bad any further communications to make.
The speaker appointed Mr. Dingley , Mr.
Cannon , republican of Illinois , and Mr. Say-
era , democrat of Texas.
THANKS TO TOM REED.
Mr. Turner , democrat of Georgia , on behalf -
half of the minority , offered the following
resolution :
Resolved , That the tlmnks of this house
are (100 and are hereby tendered to Hon.
Thomas Ii. Reed. speaker of the house of
representatives , for the ability , ehilciency
and strict impartiality with which ho discharged -
charged the arduous and responsible duties
of his ofilco during the present session of
ccngress.
The presentation of the resolution was
greeted with great applause , and was enthusiastically -
thusiastically adopted by a standing vote.
While Mr. Jenkins , republican of Wis-
cousin , was trying to secure action on the
senate bill for the relief of the administrator -
istrator of henry Van Vleck , which Involved -
volved the expenditure of $4,500. Mr.
\Vheeler of Alabama got the floor , and made
it a text tar a statement as to the marvelous -
velous growth of the government expenditures -
tures during recent years. I-fe declared
that the cost of government in the UnitOd
States , federal , state and municipal , was
the largest on earth , reaching $1,100,000,000
per annum.
Mr. Owens , democrat of Kentucky , raised
a laugh at Mr. Wheeler's expense by calling
his attention to the tact that it the Van
Vleck bill went through it would only increase -
crease the grand total of our expenditures
to $1,100.004,500.
The bill was passed , but in order to pro-
rent further clamor for recognition , the
house took a recess until 2 o'clock.
Several members were fortunate enough
to got through pension bills , tbo last to
pass being one to pension Louis Koyser , a
private soldier residing in Nebraska , at the
rate of $72 per month.
About 2:30 : p. m. tha listless progress of
affairs In the house was enlivened by an
attempt of Mr. Bailey , democrat of Texas ,
to secure recognition , his purpose being to
submit remarks on the political situation
and to allow his colleague , Mr. Maguire ,
democrat of California , to make a response
to Mr. Dingiey's speech of yesterday.
Mr. Dalzehl , republican of Pennsylvania ,
who was acting as the floor leader of the
majority , scented the battle and Mr. Marsh ,
republican of Illinois. who was trying to
pass a pension bill , was coached so as to
adroitly cut Mr. Bailey out. The Texan
was irritated and he and Mr. Marsh exchanged -
changed personalities with great freedom
and considerable force much to the amusement -
mont of the galleries , which in the meantime -
time had become crowded with spectators ,
MR. BAILEY IN EVIDENCE ,
Mr. Bailey retaliated by making the point
o no quorum on Mr. Marsh's bill and a
call of the house was ordered under tbo
rule.
rule.At
At 3:20 : p. m. Bailey withdrew the point
of no quorum , an agreement having been
reached by which Mr. Bailey should be
allowed twenty minutes.
The committee appointed to wait 'on the
president appeared and Mr. Dingley announced - '
nounced the committee bad performed its
mission , that the president had informed
the committee that he had no further corn-
inunication to make and congratulated congress -
gress on the early completion of its labors.
Mr. flailey then yielded to Mr. Magulre
and the latter made a brief reply to Mr.
Dingley's remarks of yesterday. He criti-
cised particularly the latter's statement
against the prosperity of the country dur-
log the lifo of the bIght protective tariff ,
quoting from the republican labor corn-
missioner , Wright , in substantiation of his
argument. Ho spoke of the depression in
the coaling industry of Pennsylvania , an
industry highly protected in 1891.
Mr. Ilurley , republican of New York ,
interrupted to asit him what the duty on
coal was. "
"Seventy cents per ton , " replied Mr. Ma-
guire.
"That trouble occurred in the anthracite
regions , " retorted Mr. liurley. "Anthracite
coal was on the free list. " ( Republican
laughter , )
Mr. Bailey followed. with an arraignment
of the reimblican side for cowardice in
dodging the issue presented by the anti-
bond resolution. For weeks , be said , their
courage has , hike Bob Acres' , been oozing
rroni their finger tips. until now they are

bill. It was a bill to pension Sarah M.

banm volunteer company wuich took part in

the clock pointed at tmir the speaker arose.
"Gentlemen of the house of represeha-
tivea. " said he , "boforo pronouncing the
words vbicli close the sessIon , I desire to
offer to the house my grateful recognition
of its kindness. The thanks of the house
of representatives is always a high honor ,
but It is especially so at the end of a
session where the speaker has beeti forced
to say 'no' more times perhaps than in the
history of any other congress , \\'hile thanking -
ing you for your kindness , I must congratulate -
late the house on its conduct of the ublie
business. Ordinarily a majority of two anti

disorganization , factions and discordance.

$2,623,154. During the administration of
Mr. Harrison the principal of the interest-
bearing debt was reduced $258,192,900 and
the anntial interest charges $10,327,716. "
The regular annual bills , says Mn. Can-
nell , including deficiencies as passed by the
house , made a reduction in the total estimates -
timates aubmitted by the executive , of $2'h-
0S3,191.67 : that were increased by Use
senate $22,920,442.30 , and as they became
laws they appropriate $10,636,624.06 less than
as passed by the senate , $12,283,818.24 more
than as they passed the house and $13-
374,273.43 less titan the estimated requirements -
ments of the administration.
TEN MILLION DOLLARS LESS.
The regular annual appropriations , in-
eluding deficiencies made at the last sea-
shun of congress , amounted to $383,636.896.97 ,
and included no river and harbor bill. E -
eluding the river and harbor act passed at
this session , the regular annual bills as
passed by the house appropriated only
$373,5G5.082.2 , or mono than $1O.000,0 less
than was appropriated by the last demo-
crattc congrogs.
Mr. Canaan criticizes the Treasury department -
partment because it has expended $7,377,440
for the present year in collecting the revenue -
enuo from customs estimated at $165,000,000 ,
whereas for the last fiscal year of 1892 , ender -
dor President harrison's administration ,
there was collected under the McKinley
tariff act $177,472,000 of customs revenue at
a total cost of only $6,607.517.
The bills establishing salaries Instead of
the fee system for officers of United States
courts , he says , will save $1,000,000 annually -
nually and minirniro frivolous and malicIous
itrosecutiOll , and special attention is called
to the fact that congress made no increases
of salaries of employcs In the government
department.

DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF IT.
Mr. Sayers , in his statement says of the
Lotal appropriations for the sessloit ; "This
mum exceeds the approllniatIOo made during
die last session of the Fifty-third congress
by $1g,751,239,83 , and those of the first regular -
ular session of that congress by $3,523-
357.46. It Is less than the appropriations
by the second session of the Fifty-second
congress by only $3,744,53S,72 , although at
the latter session $39,352.494.85 moore was
amltrooniatcd ; for Iteilsiona than at this sea-
idomi , It is more tItan those by the first sea-
sioii of the Fifty-first congress by $21,303-
571.84 and $251,464,040.80 less than the ap-
propniations of the second session of the
Fifty-first congress. The senate organized
this session by a combination of republican
and populIst votes , placing the control of
committees in the hands of republicans. 13y
its amendments to appropriation bills as
they passed the house it proposed to in-
erase the total $22,920,442.30. By conferences
between the two houses this aggregate increase -
crease Wfl5 reduced to $12,2S3,81S.24. The
appropriations made the second session of
the Fifty-first congress exceeded those made
at the first session of the sante congress by
$46,767,612.64 , or nearly 16 per cent. If the
sante oroportionate irmcreaso should be made
at the next. session then the appropriations
vill not be less titan $563,000,000. "

Ho says the total expenditures in one
fiscal year have never been so great except
iluring the civil war and exceed the assessed
valuation of property In any one of time
South Atlantic states. In conclusion , Mr.
Sayers says : "If the present. congress had
rigidly refused authority for additional contracts -
tracts and had appropriated only to meet
the immediate and fiscal year's requirements
under existing ones. the next congress and
administration would have been in a post-
tion to largely reduce appropriations and
expenditures and the adminIstration of the
government could easily have returned to
an economical method of expenditure. This ,
however , has not been done and the ma-
jerity in congress must be held responsible
for this grave dereliction in public duty. "
SUIT AGAINST IIOLLN'S flONlSMEv.
City Attorney Says it May Be Started
This Mouth.
So far no steps have been taken by the
legal department of the city in reference to
the resolution passed by the council some
time ago , directing tIme city attorney to
vroceed at once to bring suit against the
bondsmen of Henry I3olln for the amount
of city funds embezzled during his regime
as city treasurer.
In explanation of the matter City Attorney
Council said yesterday morning that he was
waiting until the expert employed by the
bondsmen had completed his examination
of the books. lie expected that this would
be finished about the last of this month.
In any case the delay would not count as
far as tim proceedings were concerned.
The case could not. have been heard before
the fall term of court anyway and conse-
queotly if the papers were filed In July
the hearing would be set as early as though
they had been filed two months earlier.
The city attorney added that. while he has
recioved no definite proposition for a settlement -
mont ( rein time bondsmen ho thought it
was as well to give them a chance to inv -
v * mtigate the bookn. If they found themselves -
selves unable to shako the testimony of the
erperts employed by the city the case
would be so much ImiAifled and they would
have no chance to beat the suit.
