HELD 'WNMUft Congress Ts Only Waiting'For His Action on the Tai iIV Hill. NOTHING MORE TO BE DONE. ■n Fact, Absence of » Quorum .Make* It Impossible to Do Any IluaiMCsa of Political Significance—Adoption of Murphy’s Resolution—Appropriations From a Republican Standpoint-Other News. Washington, Aug. 20.—The final action of the president on the tariff bill is the only thing that stands between the senate and final adjournment. It is the general opinion that with the bill passed upon by the chief executive adjournment could be arranged within a day’s time. The last of the appropriation bills .received the final consideration of the senate during the past week, and even without the passage of the Murphy resolution to postpone further legislation there would not have been much probability of any general legislation, owing to the likelihood of there being no quorum. The last rollcall Saturday discovered only 45 senators, two more than a quorum, in the chamber, and the ■highest number of the day was 54. Several have left since, and it is entirely probable that no more business can be done if objection is raised. It is probable, therefore, that the daily sessions from this time forward will be brief and that only bills to which there is no opposition from any senator or over which there is no contest will be taken up. The Democratic managers hope to have the bill repealing the provision, in the tariff bill exempting alcohol used in the arts and in the manufacture of medicinal preparations included in this list. There appears likelihood of opposition on the Republican side, and if there should be this bill will necessarily go over until the next session. The Democratic members of the finance committee also hope to report the supplemental tariff bills during the week, but do not expect action on them. Probably considerable time will be spent in executive session in confirming nominations to which no one objects. House Ready to Go Home. The house of representatives is ready to adjourn now. Its work has been completed and it is only awaiting the action of the senate and of the president. It is probable that it wall ad journ from i day to day until congress adjourns. It j may be, however, that the time will be 1 occupied by giving days to the several committees of the house to consider such | business as tffey care to bring up, but i this question has not been decided. To- : day, under the rules, is suspension day, ! as are also tin# last six days of theses- , sion, but as a resolution for adjourn- ' ment will not be passed until the presi- j dent acts-on the tariff bill the rule with I reference to suspension days will not go into effect mitil the date of adjournment has been fixed by both houses. CANNON’S CLAIM. Pension Appropriations Reduced, Total of Others Increased. Washington, Aug. 2ff.—Representative'Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, the senior Republican member, of, the present appropriations committee of the house, and who was chairman of the appropriations committee during the Fiftyfirst or “Read” congress, has prepared a statement to submit to the house-set-ting forth a comparison from his standpoint of the appropriations for the present and the Fifty-first congress. It is captioned: “Pension Appropriations Reduced $2!),099.534. Total of Other Appropriations Increased.” He says that while appropriations are $30,000,009 loss than estimates, a large part of this will have to be made'up next winter byway of deficiencies. A comparative statement of appropriations made at tills esagress for the fiscal year ending June 30 next with appro- • priations made at; the. first and second sessions of the fit congress (the Fiftysecond) and at the first and seconds.es- . sions of the Fifty-first shows, he. says,that the appropriations this year are greater by s?i.2ii f .T,553 than v/ere those made by the first session of the Fifty- . first. The starein -o , shows' that appropriations made this year are $28,835,98!) loss than those made at the <<■<•- ond session of rhe Fifty-.second congress. This .reduction is covered by tin- item for pensions alone. There was appropriated this year for pensions $29.0!):),501 less than was appropriated last year. It will be ‘noticed, therefore, that the- - appropriations this year, excepting pensions, are greater than the appropriations made. ]a.t year by §293,-515. The total appropriation for the Fify-first, pj “Resd” congress (two years) were SQBB,417,IS!!; - those for the Fifty-second or last congress (two years) .$ 1,02 7,104,547. | Mr. Cannon then read the statement issued by the treasury department on July 2, giving the expenditures and receipts of the government for the past year and those of the previous year. He claims that President Cleveland, for his first full fiscal year, expended $1,295,677 more to carry on the government than was expended-in the- final fiscal year of President Harrison’s-administration. RIVERS AND HARBORS. President Cleveland Fails to Sign the Appropriation Bill. Washington, Aug. 20.—The 10 days’ limit for the signature of the president to the river and harbor bill expired Saturday night without Mr. Cleveland haviiur affixed his cognomen. The hill cor. ries $11,479,180. Aside from the amount carried by the bill the sundry civil appropriation bill also carries $8,400,000 for river and harbor contracts, making a total for this class of work of $19,878,180. This is about $2,000,000 less than the amount given for river and harbor work at the first session of the last congress. Word comes from Gray Gables that the president has signed the sundry civil appropriation bill. '/ No More Tariff Action. Washington, Aug 20.—The senate Saturday, by a vote of 27 to 16, adopted Mr. Murphy’s resolution against further

tariff legislation during the session. Mr. White was duly chosen for the vacancy on the finance committee. NOT SOCIAL BUrTERFLIES. Women of the Cabinet On Marketing and Prld. Themaolvea on Home Life. Washington, Aug. 20.—“ Women of ■ the cabinet” are always a fruitful topic for the newspaper correspondent. Thus writes one: Although they are the aci knowledges! leaders of Washington’s official society they are by no means giddy social butterflies. It is not an unusual eireuinstilnee, even in the hight of the social season, to encounter the cabinet ladies at market, and they go with s a provident purpose and not merely for “fun.” The truth is that they have very little time for fun without a purpose. They are, in fact, a circle of “homely women” in the good old-fashioned sense I ' Wil MRS. LAMONT. of the phrase Their social duties are performed with a gaice that indicates pleasure in the performance, but it is very evident to those that have a privileged intimacy that Mrs. (’leveland and her social assistants fihd their greatest pleasure in their own homes. The homes of the cabinet ladies are as thoroughly American as are the fair dames who preside over them. English butlers and French cooks have not obtained a foothold in any of them. In fact, their mistresses rather pride themselves on maintaining the tradition and custom of the sectibn of the country from which they come, in witness whereof are Mrs. Hoke Smith’s Georgia dinners and Miss Herbert’s peep of AlaI bama life in her entertainments. I The Carlisles are the only members of the cabinet who own their residence. i The Greshams have apartments at a I hotel. The Herberts have a rambling, ! old-fashioned house not quite within the limits of the fashionable quarter of the town, but it is a charming home, nevertheless. There are many much more pretentious establishments in Washington than the homes of these representative American women, but there are none in which the indications of good l taste and refinement are more evident. HOOSIER SUICIDES. Captain Nicholson of Indianapolis Kills Himself In Washington. I Washington, Aug. 20.—Captain E. i N. Nicholson of Indianapolis, superin- ■ teudent of the treasury department i stables, committed suicide here yester- ‘ day afternoon by shooting himself. He was a veteran of the late war, during which he served under ex-President Harrison. After Mr. Harrison was inaugurated he appointed Nicholson, who had been his neighbor for 30 years, to the place he occupied at the time of his death. The deceased was at one time a captain on the police force at Indianapolis. He was about 65 years of age and leaves a wife, married daughter and a son who is engaged in newspaper "work in Indianapolis'. Captain Nicholson was a brother-in-law of William M. Meredith, late chief of rhe bureau of engraving and printing. None of Captain Nicholson’s immediate family is here, bat the son has been .telegraphed for. Melancholia is supposed to have been the cause for the det d. STRUGGLE WITH A MADMAN. He Attacks His Family With a Knife and Then Leaps From a Window. i Kearney, N. J., Aug. 20. —Thomas Hewitt, an iron molder, made an attempt yesterday to kill his wife and four children. He wounded them all, . but not fatally, and then sprang from a •window and ended his life. He had. ’ been suffering for some time past from typhoid malaria. Early in the morning he entered the room where his wife and 'children were lying. He had a sharp knife with which he gashed his throat. Mrs. Hewitt was awakeiied by her hus-; band's exclamation when he drvw the knife across his neck. She screamed at I the sight he presented and sprang to? ._j ward him. He raised the - knife and ex- I Claimed: “Julia, our time has come.” I With this he pushed the woman aside” and sprang to the bed. He made a vicious lunge at the eldest child, a boy of 7 years, with the knife, -but appears to have been so excited that he could not see, for the knife buried itself in the bedding between the child and another I two years younger. He drew it out and - struck again and again at the children, but they had been awakened by a scream from tne mother and he inflicted no. serious injury, although all of the four I were more or less cut.

■■ i THROWN IN THE RIVER. Hundred Passengers on a Russian Vessel Caught In a Storm. ONLY FIVE WERE DROWNED. Terrible Scenes of I’anlc Followed by Miraculous Rescue — Whaleboat Capsized In the Far Northwest and Lieutenant Croiby of the United States Navy and Four Others Misslug. St. Petersburg, Aug. 20.—A dispatch from Rybinsta. an important commercial center on the right bank of the Volga river, states that a terrible storm passed over that city and the neighlxir hood on Friday last. The damage done th property was immense. The steamer > Uspiek, plying on the River Shexna I and the Volga, was caught by the storm | on the former stream. There were 100 passengers on the vessel and they were thrown into a panic by the tremendous force of the wind, the furious downpour of rain andi the almost impenetrable darkness. The captain, knowing that his vessel was in great danger, headed her for the beach, his intention'being to ran her ashore. Before this could be done, however, the vessel sprung a leak and began to founder. As she foundered her decks were blown up by the air in her hold. —» Everybody on board of her was thrown into the water, there not having been time to lower the few small boats. Despite the fury of the storm, passing vessels which had heard the Uspiek’s signals of distress stopped and managed to rescue everybody except the captain and five other persons. Nothing was <>f these six after the steamer form er d and it is conjectured that they were drowned. , . WHALEBOAT CAPSIZED. Five Men of the United States Navy Probably Drowned. Tacoma. Aug. 20.—A special to The Ledger from Ocosta says: On Saturday, while making a landing through the surf at Jo creek, 15 miles north of Gray's harbor, a whaleboat carrying nine men, in command of Lieutenant Freeman N. Crosby, U. S. N., of the coast survey .steamer McArthur, was capsized and five men are missing, namely: Lieutenant Crosby. John Fuaer. Jens Gudmundsel. William Nelm. Alexander Smith. At present full particulars cannot b" ascertained, owing to the difficulty of ■getting news from that locality. FOUGHT BY HIS SIDE. Border IJandit Luna and Wife Killed by Troops In Mexico. City of Mexico, Aug. 20. —The killing of the famous border bandit Luna and his wife by a troop of soldiers, 40 miles, from this place, has caused much rejoicing in Tamalejis. The soldiers came unexpectedly ujkiu the notorious couple, who immediately took refuge behind some rocks and opened fire. The soldiers returned it and killed them both. Luna’s wife, as usual, fought by her husband’s side and only ceased shooting when killed. They have committed hundreds of robberies and six assassinations. The dead desperado was once imprisoned for two years in the Texas penitentiary, but making his escape has been a terror for years along the Rio Grande. I' SHOT AND ROBBED. Daring Deed by » Texas Bandit After Attempted Train Wrecking. Luftkin, Tex., Aug. 4 20.—While an engine on the State road was running to the co:thiig camp about 18 miles from here the engineer observed a pile of ties across the track. He reversed his engine and all on' board jumped. Among the 'fiarty was Dr. Dreweny of Rusk. As ‘he alighted a masked man stepped from the brush and shot him dead. Holding the others off with a pistol he robbed the body of the dead doctor, obtaining sls and a gold watch. The country is being scoured for the man. DESTITUTE PULLMANITES. Appeal to the Governor For Aid For Sixteen Hundred Families. Springfield, Ills., Aug. 20.—Gover- ' nor Altgeld has received a letter from • ■ a committee of Pullman citizens asking assistance in feeding 1,600 families unaftle to get work there. The Pullman company is alleged to be impoi ting men from all over the country and turning ! many old hands out on the street. The i governor has gone toC’hicago and will | personally investigate the situation at Pullman. Fireman*s Suicide. Philadelphia, Aug. 20. —Rather than botpunished for reckless driving, Fireman John C. Peck, 44 years old, of engine company 39, Roxborough, suicided I yesterday by turning on the gas in the room he occupied at the fire station. Not knowing that his father was dead, 6-year-old Johnny Peck crept into the bed where the body lay and went to sleep. ' One Bill Sent to Gray Gables. Washington, Aug. 18.—The sundry civil appropriation bill was received at the white house from the capitol yesterday and sent at once to Gray Gables. It is expected that it will be signed before Monday evening and thus prevent any lapse of appropriations. Ohio Man’s Prospects.
