DRAWING TO A CLOSE
Business Is Being Bushed
to a Finish.
CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN TOMORROW
General Deficiency Bill Ws railed
by the Senate Public B sliding
for Oakland.
Washikgtox, June 8. The new de
ficiency bill, framed to meet the objec
tions of the president's recent veto, was
taken np as soon as the senate met to
day. Before proceeding with it, farther
conferences were ordered on the Indian
and District of Columbia appropria
tion bills.
Activity and confusion on the floor
while the minor measures were hurried
through their final stages indicated the
near approach of an adjournment.
A large attendance overcame the fears
entertained that the senate was to be
left without a quorum.
Wolcott asked immediate considera
tion for a resolution directing the com
mittee on library to investigate the cir
cumstances of the award of the statue of
General William Tecumseh Sherman,
. Rohlemith's design having been se
lected, and requesting the secretary of
war to suspend execution of the contract
until the report made at the next ses
sion. Allison wanted the resolution to
go over, under the rales, until tomorrow.
Wolcott suggested that there might not
be a session tomorrow. Allison re
marked that he thought there would be
a session tomorrow.
Hawley suggested that there were two
sides to this statue question. The reso
lution went over.
When the deficiency bill had been
read Harris offered an amendment
covering the claims under the Bowman
act, which had been omitted in the
bouse bill, although there wsb no spe
cific objection to them in the veto mes
sage. Harris said in the former bill the
Bowman claims were coupled with, the
spoliation claims, and he felt no interest
in them, but these Bowman act claims,
amounting to about $500,000, bad been
subjected to judicial ecrutiny, and should
. be paid as much as any obligation in
curred by the government. The amend
ment was voted out of order.
The deficiency bill was then passed as
it came from the house.
A letter from the president was read
consenting to the withdrawal by the
Chickasaw Indians of $100,000 of their
trust fund now in the treasury.
. A resolution was passed assenting to
the withdrawal.
The bill was passed appropriating
$350,000 for a public building at Oak
land, Cal. .

of Cbas. M. Gutfeld of Reed ley, Fresno

edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure I tell you that by

recommend this remedy." A cold nearly

extends to the throat and lungs. ' By
using this 'remedy freely as soon as the

cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
