Condition of Congressional Business.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-There is good
deal of excitement to-day under the calm
exterior on the part of j members of
both houses of congress regarding
the prospects of an extra session. Ever
since the refusal by the house to pass the
silver suspension proposition, it has been be-
leved the danger of an extra session was past.
To-day it comes to the surface, however, that
the danger is by no means averted. There
has been but one of the appropriation bills
yet signed Thirteen have passed the house
and six the senate, but this is not the worst.
OF those passed by the senate three contain
legislation that the house conferrees will posi-
lively refuse to agree to in conference. while
the senate conferrees and the senate itself
is determined not to recede from its position.
One of these is the subsidy clause in the
postoffice bill. Another is the two million
clause in the navy bill for completing the
monitors, and the other is one in the Indian
bill. There is deadlock on every one of
these and members of both appropriation
committees are really good deal disturbed
to-day over the prospect that they may be able
to get through in the two days left after to-

His Physicians Say There is No Hope of His
Recovery.
New YORK, Feb. 2S.-In regard to Gen.
Grants health, Col. F. W. Grant said to re-
porter this afternoon: "AIy father is very
sick now. There is no use in longer deny
ing the fact. We have made every effort to
keep the true facts from the public because
we knew that as soon as it should become
known he was dangerously i'll there would be
hundreds of letters coming in with every
mail, and this would only excite him and
make recovery less hopeful. My father has
had little rest for the past few nights. He
was up and about his room for little while
yesterday and we hope to get him up again
| to-day, but he is suffering con-
slant pain in the ear and
head For any facts concerning the nature
of his disease | refer you to his physicians.
The doctors who are attending him are DR..
Fordyce Barker, DR.. J. H. Douglas and DR..

sible for the rose-colored report that appeared
| in medical journal last week. Two days
before the report was published had a consul
tation with DR.. Sands at Gen. Grants house.
! The result of the consultation was we both
decided that the cancerous growth at the
root of the tongue was hardening and
steadily growing worse. A microscopical
examination 10y an expert proved beyond

much courage We have tried to keep a

A HEARTlESS BRUTE.
Innumerable Cruelties inflicted by G. o.
Henry Upon His Wife.
Special to the Globe

SpeClal 10 Tue GlODe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-For genuine case Of
heartlessness G. o. Henry, from whom Mrs.
Emma l.. Henry secured divorce to-day,
takes the first prize. 1t was not SO much
that he delighted to punctuate and empha-
size his sentences by throwing nova
bles Of convenient size at her,
nor was it because when
she was enciente he used to brighten her
by jumping out after her in the dark and
shouting, "abooh," gleefully admitting that
he did it to cause the death of her unborn
child. While she was asleep one morning
before the birth of the child, Henry with
great delicacy of wit made bnndle of heavy
bed clothing and struck her in the abdomen
with it. The child was sckly during its life,
and early on the morning of May 80, 1881, its
troubleous unhappy little life was breathed
out on the soft spring air. The mother had
the babe in her arms and had been watching
all night to see its life tide ebb out, but G. O..
Henry slumbered peacefully. She awoke
him and told him the child was dead. s'Huh,
oh-hm, oh-hm. I suppose its better off, !"
said he, yawningly, and then turned over
and went to sleep until his wife called
him to breakfast. He belonged to
military organization and was to
have paraded that day, it being decoration
day. He fretted and fumed and chafed
around the house all day because his wife
thought it would not look well to tramp the
streets after band while his baby lay white
and cold in the darkened room and the white
ribbons fluttered from the front door. He
said he didn't hardly blame the baby for
dying but he'd rather it died most any
day but that. After that he used
to choke the medicine down his
wife's throat to produce an abortion upon
her. By this means she was taken violently
sick on various occasions. Finally it was
discovered that this heatless wretch had an
other wife and four children in Massachu-
sets. When charged with this offense he
smilingly acknowledged it and regarded it as
a great Joke Judge Tuley granted divorce

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 2S.-Vice President
Hendricks is tonight the guest of the Grid
iron club, an organization controlled by
Washington correspondents. To-day he
called on President Arthur, and had long

ARAMBLING DEBATE.
Under Guise of Consideration Ofthe Fortif-
cation Bill the House Talks About
CleyeIand's Letter.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The house con-
sidered some minor business at the opening
of the session and then took up the fortifca-
ton bill.
Mr.. Hancock briefly explained the provi-
sons of the bill. Mr.. Horn supported the Ell
lis substitute, which appropriates 81, $3.50, 0OO
for the past ten years of forti-
fications. The bill passed by congress
had been no benefit to the country. He did
not know the opinion of the incoming
administration was on this subject He con-
fessed during the campaign he had not been
oyerburdened with confidence in the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, but his admiration for
that man had been greatly increased. He
held in his hand letter,
THE FIRST MESSAGE
sent by the incoming president to the con-
gress of the United States. Cleveland was
the first president who had ever sent mes
sage to congress before he was in
augurated, but he (Horr) found
in that letter nothing but words
of wisdom. To his establishment every line
of it commended itself to his Judgment. The
only thing he regretted was that such pearls
had to be east before such congressman.
Laughter. The letter recognized the fact
that the American congress ought to take
care of the interests of the nation and ought
to do something to prevent the impending
difficulties that hung over the
FINANCES OF THE COUNTRY
He (Horr) was frank to say that the letter
had disappointed him favorably.
Mr.. Ellis characterized the committee bill
as the most useless bill and silliest piece of
legislation which had ever been presented to
an assembled body.
Mr.. Rosecrans favored the committee
Mr.. McAdee replied to the criticisms against
the committee bill. Mr.. Dorsheimer thought
the speech made this morning by Horr in
EUpoGY OF CLEVELAND
indicated that thS gentleman was coming
over to the Democratic party. The public
act OF the presfdent-elcct, which had been the
subject of the gentleman's eulogy, was let
ter addressed to certain members of the
house.
On motion Of Mr.. Reed the paragraphs
were stricken out which prescribes the calibre
OF guns to be manufactured and the manner
in which they shall be tested. The commit
tee then rose and reported the bill to the
house and it passed. This is the last of the

GOSSIP AT ALBANY.

The President Is and Will Continue the
Master of the Situation.
Special to the Globe.
ALBANY, Feb. 2S.-The rock on which
speculation splits to-day is the war and naval
portfolios. Everybody is at sea and will
probably remain afoat until Monday. 1t is
generally understood that Judge Endicott OF
Massachusetts has the refusal of the former
department, although for that matter rumor
for several DAYS has connected him with the
latter. Leaving him with the war makes the
navy a blank, with Mr.. Whitney OF New York
and Gen. Black of Illinois piroutteing in
chaos. The sentiment is in favor of Whit
ney, and if its offered him he will accept.
The only argument used against him is that
New York has the right TO grab two places
out of the seven. What influence this viii
have with the chief magistrate was
A CoNUNDRUM
in all the gossip this morning.
Mcdonald is left out in the cold. There is
no place for him. Those gentlemen, whose
relations with Mr.. Cleveland are closest, as
scrt that soon after the inauguration he will
confer with a larger circle of his own party
than he has hitherto had an opportunity to
meet. In explaining the course he has pur-
sued in his relations with his party up to
this time it is stated by these gentlemen
that Mr. Cleveland took the ground that it
would be impossible to suit everybody, and
therefore ne decided TO confne himself to
those who were the recognized leaders, and
would naturally be proper parties to invite
into his cabinet for suggestions as to the or
ganization of the administration. To get
the machinery well started was
HIS FIRST ANXIETY.
After that he proposes to move ahead eau
tiously, and from time to time will confer
with gentlemen representing different sec
tons and interests, for from present in
dications the president not only
is, but proposes to continue to be master Of
the situation. He will have his own policy
and methods, and viii exact on the part Of
his cabinet counsellors subservience to his
wishes. He will not confne his acts to the
small circle of advice of those Immediately
around him, but will have friends in differ
ent states This fact he has announced re-
peatedly in conversation with gentlemen
who have called upon him.
Adit Gen. Farnsworth gave private and
select dinner party to President-elec Cleve-
land this evening.
The question OF allowing representatives
of the press to accompany the train taking
Cleveland to Washington will be decided
Monday.
The Evening Journal states that the direc-
tors OF tue commercial bank held pro-
tracted meeting this morning, but the pro-
ceedings were secret. 1t is believed, how
ever, that Mr.. Manning rendered his resig-
nation as president, which was accepted after
the passage Of suitable resolutions, to be
made public next week, and Robert G..
Pruyn was elected president.
