WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE a, 1928.

CONGRESS. After a session of nearly six
months, the two houses of Congress adjourned
on the 18th ult. The business of most impor-
lance transacted after the accounts given in
our last, were the rejecting by the Senate of the
bill to abolish the Office of Major General, and
the passage of bill making donation in land
to the State of Ohio TO aid in the construction
OF the Miami Canal Previous to the adjourn
ment' motion was made to pass vote of
thanks to the Speaker, for his able and laudoble
course during the session This was opposed
on the ground that j: was without precedent to
pass such vote at the close of the first session.
Inc motion, however, was sustained by party
vote, and, on the final passage, the votes were
ayes III, noes %; a great number of the mem.
bers having retired to tho Hobbies, and declined
voting. The whole number of ayes was less
than the number of Jackson men in the housc
FoREIGN. Accounts from England and France
are to May l. Nothing new of importance has
transplred. Preparations for vigorous prose
cuilon of the war between Russia and Turkey
were continued The Russian army lately en- |
gagged against Persia was advancinr unon
Asiatic Turkey towards the shorea of the Rlaclr
Sea- while the grand army would direct its
course to the Danube, and thus distract the at
tention and divide the force of the Turks. The
utmost harmony in relation to the Turkish af
fairs is said to subsist between the cabinet of
Russia and those of Prussia and Austria.
In England, the.bill for the repeal of the Test
and Corporation Acts, was finally passed in the
House of Lords on the 29tl of April
BANK FAILURE. The Franklin Bank in New
York city has stopped payment, and the proper
ty OF the Corporation has been transferred to
receivers, for the benefit of the creditors. In
letter TO the Editor OF the Evening Post, the
late President of the Bank gives it as the opin-
ion of the Directors and himself, that eventual
ally every creditor will receive his money in
full
u The Governors Speech, which was not
received till our columns were mostly occupied,
affords US good opportunity of substituting
something more interesting, in the space usual
" occupied by editorial matter.
u Although the writer of the following no.
tice, forgot to accompany it with the usual fee
for publishing marriages, "a slice of wedding
cake) yet we are willing to crafty him by a
publication oft, which we do in his own words.
