WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA.
WORKED WEAKLY"
The house has worked YEARLY at the tariff
bill, unable most Of the time to keep a quorum
present; or, if a quorum has been present, so
many members declined to vote as to render a
call Of the house necessary. This shows that
the majority are tired of wasting further time on
bill which they believe has little chance of be-
coming a law at this session. 1t is hourly be-
coming more apparent that the only bill which
can pass is the one which can receive a two-thrds
majority, and pass some Monday under sus-
pension of the rules. few members are very
cross because they cannot debate the bill at
greater length, but an overwhelming majority
refuse to listen to them. No debate was allowed
during the day, it having been closed on the
second section. The afternoon was consumed
in making amendments to that section.
Mr.. Beatty of Ohio was angry because the
house rejected his motion to allow half an hours
further debate on the second section, and had
his revenge by consuming an hour in offering
the same amendment in committee over and
over again. Frequently he voted alone, but his
object evidently was to punish the house, and
he succeeded in that. The slow progress to-day
renders it certain that there will be no debate on
the internal revenue sections of the bill.

DEATH OF DEACON BUTMAN.--Benjamin
Butman, Esq, the oldest of our surviving bust
ness men of half century ago, died at his resi-
deuce in this city, yesterday afternoon, at the
advanced age of eighty-fvc years. He was a
native of Worcester-hs father, also named
Benjamin, being one of the prominent business
men of the town three-quarters of a century
ago The sou began mercantile life as early as
1903 as clerk in the store of the late George
Brinley of Hartford, then carrying on the bust
ness of a druggist in Boston.
Several years subsequent, about 1916 or 1917,
he began business in Worcester as dealer in
West India goods, crockery, lumber, &C., on the
spot where Taft & Harrngton's block now
stands, in which he was associated successfully
with the late John W. Stiles, Alfred d. Foster,
and David Wilder, Jr. This was then the most
extensive establishment of the kind in the coun-
ty. In 1886 Dea. Butman retired from mercan-
tile pursuits, and turned his attention to build
| ing and other enterprises, being then one of the
most extensive real estate owners here. He built
Butman, Brinley andWarren blocks and projected
other large enterprises, which were great way
| ahead Of those times. Among his earliest pur-
chases Of real estate, sixty years ago, was some
lorty-hve acres of land bounded by Main, Pleas
ant, and what are now Chandler and Newbury
streets, for which he paid $1,000, the late Judge
Barton homestead being the principal and one
of the few houses then standing upon it. Had
he been successful in carrying out to COM
petion the large plans he projected he would
have acquired an immense estate. Among the
various positions which he filled was that of
president of the Central bank at its first organ
| ization in 1929, which he resigned in 1886, on
| his election to the presidency of the Citizens
| bank, which was organized that year. As a
| business man, he was distinguished for the
| strictest honor and integrity. For some months
his dissolution has been anticipated, a stroke of
paralysis having left him in very feeble condi-
ton Until recently he was seen every Sunday
in his accustomed seat in church, the last oc-
| casion being a memorable one from the fact that
he tainted away and had to be borne out during
| the service

Lake Quinsigamond at "the narrows," the new
