special to the Sentinel
WAsHINeToN, Feb. speaking of the
smotheriDg of the Grant retirement bill to-
day, General slocum, who has shown him.
self to be one of the most stesdfast friends
of the bankrupt ex-President, said:
1T is out of the question to think of
passing the bill in this Congress. If for no
other reason the majority desire the bin to
go over to the next Congress so that Mr..
Arthur will not be given opportunity to
sign the BILL"
"Will the next Congress retire General
Grant?"
cum, land it will do it early in the session.
After Arthur refused to sign the Fitz John
Porter bill the majority of the House took
little interest in the desires and dislikes of
the Executive. / don't think there will be
any hesitancy about Mr.. Cleveland signing
both Grant and Porter bills, and the party
that does the justice to those men will be
given the credit for it,
General Slocum is a good deal disas-
pointed, however, at his failure to get these
bills through Congress. He has worked hard
to do 1t.
Will Crowd the Last Days of the Session.
Special to the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-A great deal of dis
appointment was expressed among members
to-day because they did not get recognition
by the Speaker yesterday by which they
could call up bills under suspension OF the
rules. Yesterday was the la day On which
the rules could be suspended in order but
an effort will be made to have
special orders so that the thousands
who have interest in private and other bills
pending in the House, will not despair abso-
lutely. There is some hope yet. The asst
elk weeks of the session, during which bills
are usually called up out OF order by uuan-
imous consent, under a suspension OF the
rules. etc., will in all probability be- al
most utterly consumed by Appropriation
bills, which are much behind yet.

The Susquehanna's "Spring
Opening"

Our well-known and esteemed citizen of
Cecil, the Hon. Jacob Tome of Port Deposit,
has kept diary for the past fifty two years,
in which he has annually entered the date
of the closing of the Susquehanna river by
ice, as well as the date of its opening. In
no enc year during the period named, has
the river been closed between Port Deposit
and Havre de Grace later than the 23rd of
March except this year, it now having been
ice-locked five days longer to date than in
any previous year since 1888, and still no
immediate prospect Of its opening Port
Deposit pays every year the ''ice'' penalty
of notoriety, if not by the hand of providence
at least at the hands Of newspaper repor-
ters We look now as regularly every year
for the chronic newspaper reports of the
Failure of the Delaware peach crop" and
the ''submersion of Port Deposit" as we
expect any other epidemic like the measles
or the whoeping cough. 1t is true that they
generally disappoint us, that they turn
out very small sensations after all But
Port Deposit without its annual prospect of
''the deluge" would be death to the average
newspaper reporter. He has done it, and
the people so often by his false reports and
his sensational head lines, that the citizens
of Port Deposit look for the city papers for
little other news in season. AS long as
Port Deposit remains where it is it will be
the ready refuge of the hungry newsman.
If it ever takes a notion to move higher up
towards the brow of the noble granite hills
at whose feet it now so snagly nestles,
Othello's occupation will be gone, and with
it no further winter use for ambitious
scribblers. But the 'Spring Opening of
the romantic Susquehanna cannot in the
nature of seasonable things be much longer
delayed. When it does come it will be a
more agreeable local ''item, . than the most
prolific imagination of the most ambitious
reporter could possibly inspire.
