WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Mr. Allison
moved to take up the final adjournment
resolution.
Mr.. Conger opposed this action for the
present until the fate of the river and
harbor bill should be known
Mr.. ingalls, said he thought the senate
was being triied with. He submitted
that 1t was not appropriate, after the
business Of both houses was considered as
closed. and when they were all ready to
depart, to be kept here doing nothing, in
expectation, or hope, or surmise, or con.
lecture that at some time in the future
they would be advised what action might
be taken by the executive on a bill sent to
him for his approval. 1t was trifiing with
the public interest to allow an adjourn
ment resolution TO remain Enacted on.
Mr.. Plumb, from the conference COM
mittce on the bill for the repeal of the
pre-. emption and timber culture acts.
stated that the senate conferees had
agreed to yield everything except the
provision that where there was an allega-
ton of fraud in an entry of land, the issue
shall be sent to a court for adjudication.
The house conferees had declined that,
and had also declined to sign the confer
ence report. As matters now stood it was
claimed to be in the power of the COM
missioner OF the general land Office to set
aside absolutely pre- emptions under any
Of these acts, and practically without in
v~estigation, except one sided. Agents
were now at work seeking out technical
objections. This had produced great
CONSERVATION and great indignation. The
senate conferees felt that cases involving
title to valuable property oupht to be
tried as all other questions are tried that
relate to property or rights OF individuals.
He had thought it proper to make this
statement.
Mr.. Harris (the chair being occupied by
Mr.. Hawley) offered q resolution of tina lks
to Senator Sherman, for the ability,
courtesy and impartiality' with which he
had presided over the senate during the
present session. The question was put
and the chair declared the resolution
unanimously adopted, but MIR. Riddleber-
ger demanded the presence Of a quorum,
declaring that the resolution ought not to
pass, and without a quorum could not
pass. In this difficulty There not being a
quorum) the senate at l2:l0 took a recess
until | o'clock.
Alter recess, Mr.. Hawley, referring tc
Mr. Beck's bill to prevent members Of
congress from acting as counsel for sub.
sidiged railways, said he had been seeking
an opportunity to have it called up ant
acted on, but other business had stood il
the way.
Mr.. Beck agreed with Mr.. Hawley tina
it had been impossible to have action OF
the bill this session. He thought. how
ever that the bill had not had fair play
He did not believe that . single membe
Of the judiciary committee would vote 70

thought that the committee had sought I,
make a burlesque Of what he regarded a
being a serious matter. He moved that tn

The Closing Hours.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The senate de-
cided during the morning 10 adjourn at 4
p. m.
AT 3:45 a message was received from
the president announcing that he had
signed certain bills. Aftel a short delay
the hour of adjournment arrived and the
chair, thanking the senators for their uni
form kindness and courtesy toward him,
declared the session closed sine die.
HOUSE.
While the clerk was reading the presi-
Dental veto of a pension bill, Assistant
Secretary Pruden appeared at the north
door of the chamber and, with the mess
age he held, became a target for every
eye. When he announced the approval
of the deficiency, sundry civil and river
and harbor bills, there was a round of APP
plause. and the gloom produced by the
rumor that the last named bill had been
vetoed, was dispelled. At 2:25 the com
mittee appointed to wait on the president
appeared at the bar of the house and an
nounced that the president had nothing
further to communicate. The senate bill
accepting the Grant relics was Their passed,
and the amendment fixing 4 as the hour
of adjournment was adopted.
After recess attempts were made to
secure consent to several measures of
minor importance, until, at the hour APP
pointed, the speaker, without preliminary
remark, declared the house adjourned sine
die

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit is probable
that the president and several members OF
his cabinet will attend the funeral of the
late Samuel j. Tiiden next Saturday.
A number of Republican representa-
tives have presented Speaker Carlisle
with a 5000 set of silver in token of his
impartiality and uniform consideration
shown toward the minority in the house.
Among the combinations by the senate
to day are those of Thos. B. Bach, asso
ciate justice OF Montana; 7. j. Hamilton,
marshal of Washington Territory; r. j.
Carr, marshal Of Wyoming; E. Spencer
Pratt, minister to Persia; Owen McGaw,
Of Colorado, to be consul general for
Ecuador.
The fertilization appropriation bill after
passing both houses of congress failed in
conference. The senate conferees were
willing to reduce the total appropriation
made by the bill to S.. 200. coo, but this
proposition was not acceptable to the house
conferees, and consequently there will be
no fund available for the preservation
and repair of Notifications during recess.

A correspondent of the Omaha Bee
thus describes a small streak of desolation
along the line of the Wyoming Central;
Some four and a half miles east of
Douglas the road enters a peculiar looking
tract OF country, about a mile and a half
wide, known in this country as bad
lands. Such tracts are not infrequently
found in Dakota and Wyoming. and are
always denominated as above, whether
great or small in area. These bad lands
look as though they might have been
formed by an earthquake or volcanic dis
.turbance, and the surface is simply a mass
of clay hills and deem gorges, with plenty
of rocks thrown in pbmiscuously by way
of seasoning and variety, and almost en-
tirely barren of vegetation. Except per-
haps for mineral purposes. they are not
worth a cent a section. Imagine if you
can that in an area comprising several
square miles there is an eruption and the
bowels of the earth actually turn inside
out, and you will get a very fair idea of
the so called bad lands of the West.
For about a mile and a half the railroad
will pass through the belt above named,
the grade being now completed, and the
scenery here presented will be a great curl
osity and study for the tourist, emigrant
or stranger.

FORTY YEARS.
Packer Given a Long Term
in the Pen.
He Still Insists That He is
Innocent.
Congress Adjourns -- Cutting
Found Guilty.
FORTY YEARS..
A Long Sentence.

DENVER, Aug. 5.-The second trial OF
Alfred Packer, better known as the man
eater. was concluded at Gunnison City
last night. The jury, after being out three
houis. returned a verdict of manslaughter
on five counts as charged in the indictment,
and to-day Judge Harrison sentenced the
prisoner to forty years in the penitentia-y,
or eight years for each man it is supposed
he murdered. The crime Packer is
charged with, is one of the most horrible
on record. During the carly part of the
winter of 1873, Packer, in company with
FIVE prospectors-Israel Swan, Wilson
Bell. George Noon, Frank Miller and
James Humphrey started from Brig
ham, Utah, to a new mining district in
the San Juan country. The winter was
severe and game scarce, and when the
party reached the place where Lake City
now stands. they were out of provisions.
suffering with cold and crying for salt.
Here they went into camp, and one night
Packer murdered his companions and for
fifteen days lived off the flesh of the dead
men. In the early part of 1874, Packer
made his way to Los Pinos agency. where
he stated Bell had gone crazy with hunger
and murdered the other four while he
(Packer) was out hunting for game,
and on his return to camp, Bell
attacked him with a Ratchet and he was
compelled to kill Bell in self defence.
Packer was arrested, had a preliminary
hearing and was confined in the SaguacAe
Jail, from which he escaped the same
year and was a fugitive until 1888. when
he was re-captured at Fort Fetterman,
Wyoming. His attempt at the trial to
prove that he killed only Bell failed. He
maintained his innocence to the
other four. and seems reconciled to his
fate, although he claims it to be unjust.

Fihh--As AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM, the
DAILY HONOLULU PRESS possesses
unequaled advantages, having retained all the
subscribers to the late SATURDAY Press, in
addition to new subscription list, which is
daily increasing, so that the paper is not only
enjoying large circulation in this city and
vicinity, but is also mailed by every steamer to
subscribers at almost every landing on the
other Islands, and also to foreign countries,
thus combining the advantages of both daily
/, nd weekly editions. The coming month,
especially, our paper will have much large
circulation than all the other daily papers
combined, as we intend sending specimen
copies to every resident on these Islands
who reads English.

this Kingdom. With this object in view we
have secured the best literary talent, both at
home and abroad, at our command, while the

the paper within the reach of all.
