CO VOL. VII THE DALLES, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1894. NO. 212 CONGRESS HAS QUIT They Wanted to Print a Comparison of Bills, BUT TOM JOHNSON OBJECTED The Japs He Landed an Army on the Line Between Cares and China, Catting Off Supplies. Congress Adjourned. Washington, Ang. 28. The galleries of the senate were packed today with visitors. On the floor were exactly a score of senators. Hansom and Mander son were appointed a committee to notify the president that congress was ready to adjourn. After several short recesses, resolutions of thanks to Vice President Stevenson and Senator Harris, president pro tern., were adopted, and the senate was declared adjourned sine die at 2 p.m. In the House. Washington, Aug. 28. Today the galleries of the house were packed to overflowing with Pythians drawn hither to witness the closing scenes of the ses sion, which was to expire at 2 o'clock. The attendance was very light, the ma jori ty of the members having already gone home. The resignation of Representa tive Oates, recently elected governor of Alabama, was laid before the house, Wilson offered a resolution which was adopted -vithout division for the appoint ment of three members of the house to meet a similar committee of the senate to wait upon the president and inform form him that the congress was ready to adjourn and ascertain if he had any further communication to make. The chair appointed. Wilson. Hoi man and Hepburn. The speaker appointed the following committee 'to investigate . the Ford's theater disaster : Maddoz, Brooks, Hire, Pigott, Daniels and TJpdegraff. A resolution to print in comparison the new tariff law with the' present law and the Wilson bill as it passed the house was called up by Richardson (democrat, of Tennessee). The vote re sulted yeas 71, nays 3. Johnson of Ohio made the point of no quorum. As it was apparent a quorum could not be mustered, an appeal was made from all sides to induce Johnson to withdraw the point of order, but be refused. Johnson claimed the comparisons pro posed to be printed had been prepared under the direction of Gorman, and were misleading, and finally Richardson withdrew the resolution. The committee appointed to wait upon the president reported he had no further communications to make. "The presi dent also requested me,".said Wilson, "to congratulate the house and the sen ate on the close of its labors, and wished the individual members a happy and prosperous vacation." ' At 2 o'clock the speaker declared, the second session of the 53d congress ad journed. Great cheering greeted the announcement. Vice-President Wloh.es on the Witness Stand. Chicago, Aug. 28 In the investigation of the Pullman strike by the national commission today, Chauncey Kelsey, of theea-'hicago & Alton road, testified the loss sustained by that road during the strike was $286,360. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois reported $21,600 loss. The Chicago, Burlington &Quincy $150, 000 in the destruction of its property I witD otner losses not tabulated. . vuum ui iituu, vmei ciers oi tne bank at Pullman, testified that Jennie Curtis, who claimed she was compelled to pay back rent, had paid voluntarily.' When Vice-President Wickes took jthe stand, he said the cost to the company of1 building cars under contract at the time of the strike was about . $1,400,000. The labor would cost about '- $240,000. The contracts were taken on the basis of a reduction of 20 per cent. Thus tinder the old prices the labor would have cost about $340,000. Wickes admitted that on this basis the company had reduced . the receipts $52,000 and the employes' wages $60,000. This, the vice-president said, looked hardly fair, bnt he thought it much better .than to throw men. en tirely out of employment. In answer to the chairman, Wickes said the cut in pay had been made to fit the depression in business and in the low selling price of cars, and not to stop any encroach ments on the profits and paid stock holders. The surplus of $25,000,000 un divided profits consisted partly of idle cars whose value was .constantly de teriorating. . The cost of the cars was counted in the surplus, so there was to some extent a fiction in the figure of the surplus. Sugar Bounties Cease. Washington, Aug. 28. Some days ago Commissioner Miller, of the inter na revenue bureau j telegraphed agents in the sugar dist.icts to separate and identify all sugar made at factories from Jnly 1, 1894, to midnight of August 27th. This having been done, the commis sioner today gave the agents instructions to withdraw all government control and supervision of sugar factories. This supervision has been maintained hereto fore because of the sugar bounty provi sion of the McKinley bill, and now bounties have ceased by virtue of the new tariff bill, and it is no longer nec essary. ' ' French Forces Annihilated. Paris, Aug. 28. 'According to a report received at St. Louis, tho French garri son at Timbnctoo, after three days des perate fighting with the Lauregs and other hostile tribes, which had been be sieging that city, made a sortie. The beleaguring forces, in : overwhelming numbers, fell upon the sortie party, fairly annihilating it. This ' news has created consternation in army circles, as it is the second serious resistance the French have met with in the vicinity of Timbnctoo since that important Soudan ese town was occupied by them, early in the present year. Japanese Landing; Troops. Shanghai, Aug. 28. It is reported here that Japanese transports escorted by war vessels are landing troops to the northward of Taku, with the intention of marching upon Peking. Another re port says the Japanese have succeeded in landing 20,000 men on the banks of Yulaxiver, separating Corea from China, and thus cut off supplies of the large army which the Chinese have sent down the Corean peninsula. Another report says the French commissioner at Hong Tiong has been murdered by the soldiers of Gin Yeh. California Fruit In the Kast. New York, Aug. 28. The morning papers say last week was not so heavy a week in the California fruit trade as the week previous. During the week ending August 18th, 135 cars were received from shippers on the Pacific coast, while last week only 115 cars came. Bar tie tt pears are being received fully ripe, as the sea son is nearing a close and the fruit here had to be sold as sdbn as opened. In spite of this fact, however, a good demand kept the prices steady. Effect of Tariff In Mexican Mines.' . Ei, Paso, Tex., Aug. 28. In the Mexi can Central railroad yard at Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, there were more than 300 cars of silver-lead ores, waiting for the new tariff bill to go into effect before transferring to the United States.
