IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
WAsurNGroS, June 3O.-The first session of the
XLVIth Congress will almost certainly close to-
morrow and its members will not be reassembled
bytbe President before the usual time of meeting
in December next unless some unforeseen emergency
should arise.
The Presidents message yotoiug the United States
Marshals Appropriations bill was presented to the
House few minutes after il met this morning, the
Executive beng DESTROYS that ample time
sboud be given for Congress to make the
appropriations which have not yet been
voted. before o'clock, the hour fixed by
the House for final adjournment. The package
Law upon the Speakers table until twenty minutes
after O'clock and then at the expiration of the
morning hour it was read by the clerk. Not half
dozen Democrats listened TO it, nearly all of them
being engaged in private conversation standing
about in knots on their own side of the chamber.
The Republicans generally gave the message re-
spectfu attention, but made demonstration of
approval when its reading was completed. vote
on the bill was Immediately taken without debate,
and of course it was not passed over the veto.
Meanwhile the President and his Cabinet
had assembled in the Executive chamber
in the Senate wing of the Capitol, for the
purpose of transacting any business that
might require their attention. When the Presi-
dent learned that the vote the Marshal's bill had
been announced, he at sent his secretaries to
both houses Of Congress with brief message re-
minding the Senate and House of Representatives
that this is the last day of the fiscal year, and urg
ing them to provide for the fees of marshas and
their deputies before finally adiournng. This
sage was surprise to the Democrats Of the House.
although 1t has been known among Republic
cans for nearly week that a commune
cation of this kind was thought Of, and
that the President had hoped that by calling
the attention of Congress to the necessity of
doing its duty before it adjourned, the occasion for
another extra session might be removed. The
second message was listened to much more at
tentively than the first. 1t was Immediately re-
ferred to the Committee on Appropriations. where
st viii remain, the committee Will take action
upCuit.
Later in the afternoon the House had an oppor-
tunity to give an official and authoritative answer
70 the Presidents second message and deliberately
10 refuse to make the needed appropriation. Mr..
Cannon, of Illinois, whose name was the
Speakers list for recognition, to move a
suspension Of the rules, introduced the Mar
shaTs Appropriation bill, emitting all the
had placed upon 1t and upon which the President
based his veto. The Democrats were not anxious
to put themselves on record this bin under the
circumstances. For few minutes there a
good deal of confusion on the floor. There
were suggestions Of immediate adjournment. The
record had to be made, however, and it was made.
Every Democrat present voted against the BILL and
every Republican and Greenbacker for it Thus
the House. knowing that it is not in its power to
pass the MarslS,s Appropriation bill with cOndi-
tions such have been insisted upon, has dehber-
ately decided not to pass the bill at ALL and to de-
puve the Government of the means of enforcing the
laws and punIshng criminals under its statutes
In the meantime in the Senate matters had gone
on very much as upon other days of the session..
tn subject Of engrossng interest was the question
Of adjournment. The probable course of the Re-
Tublicans in regard to the House resolution fixing
the hour of o'clock to-day. was the subject of in
quiry 10y every one. The resolution itself was held
In the Appropriations Committee until some time
after the Senate convened, the Democratic mem
bers Of that committee being doubtful whether it
would be best to report it before the Presidents n-
teutions were definitely known. About haf-past l.
Senator Eaton called up the House resolution for
action aud asked that unanimous consent might be
given to consider it at once
Senator Window thereupon said he felt it to be
his duty to object 10 ITS consideration until the ap-
preparation bills had all been disposed of, and the
especial business for which Congress was called
together had been transacted.
Senator Hereford referred TO the probability that
If tine resolution in its present form should fail to
receive the Endorsement of the Senate, Congress
might be delayed several days for want of quorum
In the House.
Senator Window regretted the necessity for his
action. but could not, under his sense of official
duly, withdraw his objection.
At this point senator Chandler rose and read from

can Campaign Committee, of which he is chairman

senator Window had had q consultation with
nearly all the Republican Senators, as well as a

taoinet officers, TO whom he explained his motives
Tor Directing 10 the present consideration Of the
adjournment resolution; and he renewed his oh
lectOns on the ground that the Marshas bill had
lUst been vetoed, and that Congress had not finished
u.s. work. He then introduced bill appropriatnQ
SOOOOO0 for the pay Of United States MaIshas for
the next nscal year. The bill was the same as the
one Just vetoed without the political resolutions.
senator Salisbury objected 10 its immediate con-
slQeIatlon; but after consultation with bus Demo
cratic friends, withdrew his objection.
