The way in which the rules are getting sus-
pended. and bills with all sorts of innocent
looking titles and questionable ends getting
passed in Washington, particularly in the
House, grows alarming. The reports seem to
indicate that the crush and confusion and

usual. Apparently it will be week or two
before we shall be able to get any idea of

Within three working days of a final adjourn
ment, with business enough on the Speakers
table to occupy every hour of the time, the
House yesterday voted to adjourn at quarter
past three o'clock, making the shortest session
that has been held since the Christmas holi-
days. The position of affairs and the sincerity
of the Administration party will be better
understood when the fact is known that the
business pending at the time of adjournment
was proposition to go to business on the
Speakers table and let the Senate Civil Rights
bill be referred to the Judiciary Committee,
from which it could not be reported except
by two-thirds vote. Between the friends OF
the BILL who would not see it Drejudiced, and
its opponents, who would not release it from
its present position the whole thing went to

The Philadelphia politicians of the Admins

Fall elections Our correspondence from that
city shows how they propose to set up" the
nominations so as to support the Administra-
ton and retain the power and patronage In
the hands of the "purest and BEST" 1t is
barely possible that they may be reckoning
without their hosts. SO far in the elections
this year, people do not seem to be voting
regular tickets so much as they were two
years ago. Some have "lOst their interest

notion that it would be advisable to have
change.

The President has finally SEPT to the Senate
for ratification the Reciprocity Treaty with
Canada, of which a full outline was given in
The TRIBUNE few weeks ago. Its friends
in Washington suppose that opposition to it
will probably come only from special interests
affected unfavorably, such as the timber and
coal trades. Opposition from the coal in
terest would be idle, since protectonsts are no
longer likely to make prolonged fight for
continuance of the duties on coal. The tim
Der interest may make more serious resist
ance. The real opposition 10 the Treaty, how
ever, is to be expected from the agricultural
classes, and from those high tariff men who
believe that its fundamental idea is at war
with the sound doctrine of protection to
American industry

A HORSE WITH A LONG MEMORY
years ago Mr. Abram Dodge, OF the town OF
Ipswich, Mass owned beautiful horse, which
was the pet of the family. He was admired
by all who knew his playfuness and good quail
fcations In the summer it was Mr.. Dodge's
habit occasionally to have frolic with his
horse 10 bis barDyard, and then let him out.

about one. third Of a mile distant, here ne
would bathe, then go to a common and roll on
the glass. then With. the freedom OF alr start
for his home u His stable was renovated for
him while lie was gone, land his breakfast put 10
his crib If he met his master he would shoW
some col,ish pranks bound for the stable, pull
out the wooden pin that fastened the door with
his teeth, and rush to the manger, where he
expected to find bis food. :. One night the horse
was stolen from. the stable. After the explra-
tion of sixteen years Mr. Dodge was at the
'tavern when man drove a"horse up TO the
door. MIR. Dodge at once recognized his horse,
and he told the driver bis reason for believing
it to be bis ; the man told OF whom he boug ht
the horse, and said that be had owned him for
several years Mr.. Dodge claimed his horse,
aud it was finally agreed, ifthe horse would, Oh
being taken to his old stable, 60 through the
habit OF bathing, rolling on the grass, and
pulling the pin from the stable door as above
described, that Mr.. Dodge should have him;
When the horse was let out into his old yard
he reviewed the premises for moment, then
started for bis old bath-tub, then for his green
towel on the common, then to his old stable,
pulled the wooden pin, won for himself good
meal aud his old master his favorite horse.

THE LONGEST SWIM ON RECoRD.-The Nor

a Yarmouth beachman, the occasion OF recall
ing his extraordinary escape 10; October, 1888
A vessel was observed at sea about p: ~, with
a signal flying for pilot, bearing east, distant
about twelve miles. Brock, who belonged TO
lAyton's company, with nine Others launched
the yawl Increase, and steered for the object OF
Z: their enterprise. About 4 o'clock they came
up With the vessel, which proved to be the
Spanish brig Paquettee de Bilboa. Three Of
the beuchmen went on board, and the remand
er. of she drew of the yawl we're sent away. On
their way home q terrific squall took the yawl's
sails fat aback, and she capsized. ln a few
minutes all the crew, with the exception of
Brock, were drowned. 1t was then about 6:3O
D. m, and the nearest land was six miles dis
.sane-dead low water; and Brock remembered
that the flood tide would be setting off shore,
making to the southward, 80 that should he
ever reach the shore he would have to swim
and float at least fifteen miles. The swell Of
.the sea drove. him, over the Cross sand ridge,
aud he then got sight of the buoy of ST. Mich
oias' Cat, nearly opposite his owp door, dis
.,tant four miles from the land He had, now
been FIVE hours in the water. He next caught
sight Of vessel at anchor. He got within two
hundred yards of the vessel, and hailed her; !

having swan seven hours and half on an
October night, be was safe on board the brig
