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. Many
Mexican silver mines running a high
per cent in lead, which closed down on
account of the Windom ruling, will now
be opened up again, and it is thought an
other smelters will be erected here at
an early date.
Americans Accused of foachlns;.
London, Aug. 28. The St. James Ga
zette this afternoon gives prominence to
a letter written by a Canadian, charg
ing serious poaching upon the part of
American schooners in Hudson, bay, es
pecially, on the McKenzie river. -The
writer says: "Brother Jonathan is in
exceedingly smart practitioner. While
inviting the powers to adhere to the
Behring sea award,' he is poaching on
his own account."

Will -Increase Smuggling.
, Tacoma, Aug. 28. Collector James
Saunders, who is here from Port Town
send, eays:, "Yes, the new tariff re
duces the duty on opium one-half, but
that will not affect smuggling, except to
increase it about one-half. . Smugglers
will have to carry just twice the amount
to make as much hereafter as they have
been making heretofore, and they will
do it, too. The new tariff will not stim
ulate the importation of coal from
British Columbia.
Dutch Loss More Serious Than at Fltst
" , Reported.-
Amstekdam, Aug. 28. The defeat of
the Dutch troops sent to punish the
rajah of the island of Lambok, not far

Dutch residents at Lambok succeeded
in escaping. "

vous is Omdurman.
