THE CLOSING DAYS OF CONGRESS.
The House to Devote its Time Mainly
e the Appropriation Bills.

1t is not thought that the House will COM
plete the consideration OF the sundry civil bill
to-day. All of next week will probably be con-
sumed in the consideration of appropriation
bills. The general deficiency and the fortifica-
ton bills will follow upon the heels of the SUM-
dry civil The naval committee win insist upon
the passage of their bill for the building of new
ships, and it is the general opinion that this
will be one of the few bills selected for passage
this session. No general scheme for coast de-
tense, such as advocated by Mr.. Tilden, will be
considered. II there is time after the passage
OF the appropriation and the naval construc-
ZION bils, and land grant forfeiture bills, which
Will be taken up while the conferences over the
appropriation bills are in progress, the inter-
state commerce bill will be taken up. This is
some District measures at session set apart
for that purpose.
Set Back for Early Adjournment.
THE PRESIDENTS DIFFERENTIATION TO Ex-
ANIME ALL BILLS SUBMITTED TO HIM.
The prospect of an early adjournment has re-
cefved summary set back by the President.
He has informed members of both the Senate
and House that he will not sign any
bill without first carefully reading
1t through and informing himself
as to its provisions. He asserts that he will
not go to the Capitol and approve bills as fast
as they are brought to him for the sake of ex-
peaiting adjournment. With regard to appro-
FULLY consider every item, and he warns the
members OF the two houses that they need not
expect to send him long bills appropriating
large sums of money within day or two of adj
Journment with any idea that he will approve
them blindly; that he will not do anything of
the kind in view of his feeling of responsibility.
Among some Of those best qualified to speak
as to adjournment the opinion prevails that
the Presidents determination to have time for
thorough examination of all bills passed will
probably defer the day of final adjournment to
the 10th and possibly the 25th OF July.
Order Of Business.
CAUCUS OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS THIS
MORNING.
Republican Senators held an order of bust.
ness caucus this morning. 1t was not very well
attended and no material changes in the order
already published were made.
In the caucus the President was arraigned for
vetoing pension bills, and it was urged that the
republicans make it their policy to do all i'm
their power to procure liberal pensions for
soldiers.
Next week the Senate will go on with the
Kansas land bill which is now the regular order
of business, and the Presidents veto of the Des
MONIES land bill will be taken up. In accord
ance with agreement of the republican eau
Gus at least one day, early in the week, will be
devoted to executive business, for the purpose
OF clearing upthe calendar.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, o., June 26.-The restoration OF
F1tZ John Porter and the refusal of the Senate
committee to investigate the charges of bribery
in connection with the election of Senator
Payne cause general surprise here and very
spirited comments. The action OF the Senate
committee on privileges and elections is
especially denounced, and it is suggested that
Senator Logan and others may have friends
deslrous OF appointment in the Navy denart-
ment. Gov. Foraker does not diguise mis- feel

only says that q man not given to profanity
Journal editorially says: 1.-The senate COM
mittee having refused TO 60 into an investiga-
ton of the Payne bribery case in the face of the
greatest prepOnderance OF evidence, il may be
attributed TO the fact that there are too many
Senators in the same boat. Even that, how
ever, cannot change the popular verdict on the
Doodle business in Ohio"

JUDGE DAVID DAVIS.
A Brief Sketch Of His Career.

Having we'll rounded the period of three
score years and ten allotted to human life,
Judge David Davis has, as was announced in a
dispatch published elsewhere in The STAR,
peacefully closed his eyes upon the affairs of
this world. Judge Davis was born on a farm in
Cecil county, Maryland, March 9th, 1915, just
two months after the death of his father. His
mother possessed only the farm, and she
guarded carefully every penny. that everything
might be devoted to her boys education. AS a
child he rode alone four miles to old Squire
Pierce's private school, where he got his primary
education. At the age of ten he was sent to
the academy at Newark. Delaware Here he
was prepared for college by Parson Russell, the
principal, Presbyterian divine. At the age
Of 13 be entered KENYON college, Greenbrier,
Edwin NJ Stanton were schoolmates, and they
formed an intimacy which continued through
the life of stanton. In early childhood those
life OF Judge Davis were evinced. His
disposition was calm and placid. He was stu
dious and deliberate, cautious. but generous
and most faithful In his Friendships Before he
was IS years old he graduated from Kenyon,
and entered the law Office of Henry w. Bishop,
Of Lenox, Mass: After two years with Judge
Bishop he studied one year at the law school at
Yale college. He then located in Illinois, with
$50 in money and law books valued at $500.
He first settled In Pekin, but soon afterwards
went to the little town of Bloomington and
hung out his shingle. In 1888 he returned to
Lenox and married Miss Sarah w. Walker,
his profession, and in 1S4S was elected circuit
judge. His first service In political life was as
q member of the Illinois legislature in. 1914.
put he declined reelection, preferring to stick
to his profession. He was twice reelected cir
cult judge, and held that position until 1862,
when he resigned to accept place on the u.
S. Supreme bench, rendered him by his old
friend, President Lincoln.
1t was in the early days of Illinois that Davis
and Lincoln became friends. They rode the
same circuit together. and 1t was largely through
Lincolns instrumentality that Davis was cleo
ted circuit judge for the first term. When Lam
coin seriously thought of the presidency Judge
Davis was the first friend he consulted, and the
latter went to the Chicago convention in the
interests of his friend.
Judge Davis resigned his place on the
Supreme bench to accept a seat in the United
States Senate, to which he was chosen without
any solicitation on his part, and the presidency
of the Senate went to him unsought He was
sincere in his theory that the Office should seek
the man. In 1872, when the national labor
party rendered him the nomination Tor Presi-
dent, he replied briefly that the chief magfs-
tracy should neither be sought nor declined.
Mr.. A. f. Stevenson, First Assistant Post
master General, will be one OF the pall-pearers
at the funeral of Judge Davis. He leaves for
the west this evening.

Judge sloan Refuses 90 Quash she In
dictment for Threatening 90 Boycote
Against state Organiser schillfng, OF
wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE, June 26.-In the presence of q
large audience, comprising many OF the beading
members OF the Local bar, Judge Sloan yester-
day delivered an opinion on the motion to
quash the Indictment OF Robert Schilllng, state
organizer OF the Knights OF Labor. who Is on
trial on the change OF conspiracy ana making
threats In connection with boycotts. As Judge
Sloan practically held that boycotting Is .
crime punishable under the statutes, the
decision has created a lively interest Judge
Sloan ruled that since Schliling threatened to
put the vast machinery OF the Knights OF Labor
In operation % prevent the public from patroniE-
Ing the firm boyyotted, he injured the INNS in-
come, which was as much property as machin-
cry or buildings, and that 10 attempt 10 dictate
TO them against their will whom 10 employ or
discharge was "A parallel ofiense. All organiza-
lions OF The kind seeking TO interfere with the
businessof manufacturers or Others ara not In
accordance with law. said the judge "Laboreru
or capitalists may organize for their own protec-
ton, but have no right To take the aggressive. In
our social and industrial life and our govern-
ment, the socialist, the anarchist and the boy
colt have no place" The afternoon was spent
In securing a jury. Eleven jurors have been
secured. Several of them are credited with
being knights of Labor.

ELECTIONEERING IN BRITAIN.
A Great Flood Of Political ElOuuence
Deluging the Country.

SOME CHANGES IN GLADSToNE'S ATTITUDE
ALMOST UNANIMOUS OPPOSITION TO THE
LAND PURCHASE BILL-LIvELY CONTESTS IN
LONDON-THE SITUATION FAVORABLE TO THE
GOVERNMENT.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, June 26.-Parliament was prorogued
yesterday and dissolved to-day by an order i'm
council The election writswill be Issued tonight
and the first pollings take place next Friday,
the ELECTIONS continuing for a fortnight. 1t is
quite impossible TO keep pace with the uninter-
rupted now OF speeches from the leaders, let
alone the minor members. Few new state
ments have been made during the week, the
chief interest being centered on what Gladstone
and John Morley said about the dead home
rule bill and the still deader land bill. In his
speech last night Gladstone admitted the growth
OF a strong feeling in favor of the retention of
Irish members for imperial purposes in the
Westminster parliament. He said it might be
well TO retain them He would, however, not be
a parity to giving Ireland a legislative body to
manage Irish affairs and at the same time have
Irish members at Westminster voting on En-
glish and Scotch affairs.
GENERAL OPPOSITION TO THE LAND BILL.
Secondly, Gladstone said the land purchase
bill should be considered as clause of the
Irish government bill. This Is all very well,
but q clause of a bill may be dropped in COM
mittee. Gladstone has never said distinctly
he would agree to drop the land purchase bill.
From the chaos of opinion throug aout the
country one fact becomes clearer every day,
namely, nine out of ten OF Gladstones support
ers repudlate that part of the scheme. Morley
appears 10 insist on both bills much as they
are. At any rate, he has specifically declared
he will never agree to leave the Irish people TO
settle their own land question.
SIGNS OF A RED HOT CAMPAIGN.
Gladstone's triumphal progress has grown
steadily in enthusiasm, though greater en-
thusiasm than at the first meeting seemed at
the time impossible. From the country con-
fiicting reports come concerning the prospects.
The London electors are waking up as they
never have before. Extremely keen contests
will be fought in all the metropolitan constit-
uencies. The latest sensation is the arrival of
the Reverend John Page Hops, q famous Uni
tartan minister, to contest Churchill's seat in
South Paddington, as a protest against the al
most inhuman attack upon a man whose age
should protect him from reckless blows at o
young mans hands," He has not ghost of q
chance, but the vigOr of the contest win awaken
the echoes all over the country. Efforts are
being made to induce Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher To address a mass meeting of libereaI
electors in the town hall of Birmingham Tues
day night.
So far as the situation can be said to have
any tone, IL is more favorable for the prospects
Of the government
