members of the select Committee TO in
vestigate methods for the improvement
OF the Mississippi river.
Ine house then took another reces
until O'Clock. Hiscock, who made th,
motion, stated that the chances wer,
even that Congress would adjourn to
night as soon as the House rea,sembletl
Anderson, of Kansas, moved tina
when the House adjourn it be 70 meg
81 . pm. tomorrow, saying that j
seemed their royal majesties in the Sen
ate could not sit III the night, and thai
the House had nothing IN the world t.
do.
blackburn suggested that the Hous.
adjourn until Friday, and Hiscock sta
ted that If the Senate took up the Taz
bill tomorrow he would have no obiec-
ton to adjourning until tlr.t date
lhereupon Anderson withdrew his mo.
tioa. and the House adjourned till to.
morrow.
Among a few members there was a
good deal of indignation manifested at
the action in adjourning today without
taking action on the resolution Of final
adjournment. Members congregated in
groups, and many expressed the desire
of the President TO avail himself of THE
Constitutional right to declare both
houses adjourned. In fact, Anderson
Of Kansas had resolution drawn, re-
questing the President to exercise tha;
night, and only refrained from Offering
1t tonight at the request OF some OF hia
Colleagues.
Another member expressed the desire
tO giant the Senate extra mileage,
which its members asked for, hoping
they would so home and stay there.
Altogether a strong sentiment pre-
vailed that the Senate had treated the
House In O cavalier manner.

New York. Aug. S.--The story circu-
lated on Wall street for some time thst
Jay Gould had transferred his intere It
III the Mutual Union to the Western
Union Telegraph Company was con-
firmed yesterday. Jay Gould and Geo.
+. Baker. Secretary of tho First Ma
tional Bank, controlled 1900 shares OF
Mutual Union, LOCO more than ma
jority. In the pool Gould was supposed
to act for the Western Uuion and Baker
for the Mutual Union. A combination
was made for voting powers, and the
condition WAS that Gould should not
use his interest to the injury Of the Mu-
tual Union. The amount that Gould
Transferred to tho Western Union WAS
1900 shares. but only 5000 belonged
in the pool. The rest he had picked up
in small lots on the street. The aver
age per share received was SCI. The
original purchase was really made by
Gould for the Western Onion. The idea
az declared by the Western Union peo-
pie ia TO place both companies virtually
under one control, so as TO prevent ru-
inous cutting Of rates. or in other worus
to stop competition, and the pool will
operate the sans es in the past. II Is
the intention to keep separate the busi-
ness of the two companies. and none OF
the Offlceaof tho Mutual UniOa arc to
be closed. The Directors Of the Mutual
Union as at present constituted are so
divided that tiva members are counted
for the Mutual Company and four for
the Western Union.
