mittee, armed with number OF bills
drawn in the interest of workingmen, and
the Naval Committee, with the naval ap-
preparation bill. The members of the
Naval Committee think their bill can be
disposed of in two days. and it is at least
probable, if they succeed in getting it up
that il will pass before the commencement
of the struggle over the tariff bill. Per-
sonal and political debates, as lively as
those which characterized the proceedings
OF the House last week. are also expected
this week, an incidental effect Of which will
be 20 secure an increased attendance of
members The roll-call of Saturday re-
vealed the absence of over 40 members,
but strong efforts are making to secure a
full house when Morrison moves to take
up the tariff bill.
In the Senate the Northern Pacific for
feiture bill is the unfinished business, and
is to be taken up to morrow. When it is
disposed of the bill to repeal the Pre-emp-
ton, Timber Culture and Desert Land Acts
will be taken up. Following that, it is
expected that the subsidy debate will take
place upon the report of the disagreement
of the conferees upon the Post Office ap-
preparation bill. The Committee on Appro-
pIiations expect TO report the pensions and
Military Academy bills early in the week,
but NAV not press them to consideration
at once, and should any time remain not
demanded by the Committee on Appropri-
atoms, the Des MoineS bill and the open
sessions resolutions will be taken up in
their turn. Five Of the annual appropria-
ton bills, namely, District of Columbia,
Postofiice, consular and diplomatic, agri-
cultural and army, have passed both
Houses, and await the action of the confer
ence committees Three-pensions, mill
tary academy and river and harbor-are in
the hands of the Senate committees, and
five-legislative, naval, sundry civil, fortifi-
cations and general deiiciency-have not
yet been passed by the House. Only one,
the Indian bill, has reached the President.
The Presidents Frugal Habits.
WASHINGTON, June 13th.-The Sunday
CAPITAL says that the Presidents salary is
paid him in monthly instalments of S4,-
l66 66 on the last day of each month, and
the Treasurer always makes it point to
send him notes Of the latest issue. Mr.
Cleveland, as his predecessors have done,
keeps n private bank account with Riggs d
Co. He makes deposit on the first of
every month, reserying enough from his
salary to pay current expenses, and setting
good example by putting the rest aside
for rainy day. His account has shown a
balance as large as So, 500, as he has an in
come aside from his official salary. While
he has never been money-getter, and has
earned in his profession all he has eve,
made, Mr.. Cleveland has an eco
Gus tastes like his immediate pre-
decessor. Before he entered public
life, when he was making from $4,000 to
$4,000 year by his practice, and could
have lived like a lord, his expenses were
never more than $1,000 year, and he en-
loyed life as much as most men do. His
frugal habits were acquired in youth, for
he was not born with a golden or even a
silver spoon in his mouth, and he has
found his pleasure in bard work. The
Presidents Buffalo friends estimate that he
was worth 100000 to S75, 900 when he was
elected, and has already increased that
amount considerably by profitable invest
ments and by the surplus of his salary.

WASHINGTON, June 13th.-Senator and

she hopes soon to see III successful opera
ton.
Matthew Arnold's Views.
WASHINGTON, June 13th-Matthew Arm
old, of England. is in Washington, and
was seen tonight by your correspondent.
He talked freely upon the subject of home
rule IN Ireland, which is now so important
factor in English politics He says he is
in favor of home rule for ireland, but not
in the same sense as Mr.. Gladstone He
thinks the adoption of his plan would be
most disastrous, as it would tend to the es-
tablishing of Parliament at Dublin to
make Ireland a separate and distinct ma
ton. Scotland, Canada and other depend
encies might claim the same right, and it
could not be denied them. The result
would be the utter destruction of Great
Britain.

ing yellow, and the injury to that cereal
threatens now to be more severe than even
to wheat itself. Reports from Indiana
indicate that the yield of winter wheat will
fall slightly below the average. In some
of the counties wheat has gone back DUR
ing the past three or four weeks. The gen
eral prospect in Ohio continues good, and
that State has the promise of a full aver
age yield. In Kansas and Michigan the
prospect has not changed The official re-
port, indicating that Kansas will not pro-
duce to exceed IL 900, 900 bushels, only con-
