whether the House will mend its ways
oY reporting the appropriation bills
sooner In the future remains to be seen.
u Is aiact, al the same, that a great
ueaI OF ume was wasted in the begin
hlne OF the session, and now everything
mus De. crowded through at a break
neck pace. The President, however,
declares mat he will not hurriedly sign
any. OH, no matter how much the
anxiety may be for adjournment. He
says ne Will take time TO consider all the
bills thai are sent to him for signature,
he says a thing he means it.
PRESIDENT, ever since his return
from ms honeymoon, at Deer Park, has
oeen hard at work from morning to
night he found time, however, the
q evening, TO witness the perform
ance OF o BLACK Hussar" at the Ma
ionsi Iheatre. BE wa accompanied
by Mrs. Cleveland and a party of
friends. The President does not minele
very much among the people. Several
former Presidents Occasionally used to
walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. or
walk 70 church. The present chief
Executive, however, has never been
seen walking on the streets. Before he
was married he could be seen, almost
every day, driving in some portion of
the city, invariably accompanied by his
faithful secretary, Colonel Lamont.
Lstterly the colonel has been Ieft at
home, Mrs. Cleveland having taken his
place IN the carriage in these afternoon
drives. Mrs. Cleveland is very D
lar. Her Thursday afternoon recep-
tons are largely attended, and de
serVedly liked. She is charming in her
manner. and enters into conversation
with a will. She was taught a lesson,
however, the other day. One of the
lady society" reporters attended one
OF these receptions and succeeded in
getting a long talk with Mrs. Cleveland.
The latter had no idea she was talking
to a reporter, but she was painfully APP
prised of the fact by reading a column
of matter in the Cincinnati Enquirer in
which the whole Of her conversation
with the lady in question was very
skillfully reproduced.
1t was very interesting reading for
the general public; but Mrs. Cleveland,
in future, will probably not b. quite so
loquacious when there is a society" re-
porter around. 1t was rather unfair of
the lady TO take such an advantage Of
an inexperienced woman; but. then,
reporters are after news, no matter
from whom 1t emanates, or whence it
comes.
Mrs. Cleveland visited both houses Of
Congress on Saturday last with some
friends; she viewed the proceedings Of
the House for about twenty minutes.
What she thought of the crowd has not
thought she had struck a b~ear-garden-
anything but the House of Represen-
tatives. When il wa noised about that
Mrs. Cleveland vas in the Executive
gallery members on the floor OF the
House manifested great anxiety to
have a look at her. From the Repub-
lican side of the House she could not
be seer TO advantage, but the Repub-
licans lodged over TO the Democratic
side, occupied every Democratic seat,
and stared at the first lady of the land
to their hearts content. 1t was a very
funny scene. but Il did not seem to en-
barass Mrs. Cleveland in the least.
She looked on until she was tired, and
then walked over 10 the Senate. There
very little notice was taken Of her. The
grave and reverend Senators were
doubtless not aware OF her august pres
ence. otherwise the scene tina took
place in the House would have been re-
peated on a small scale.
This is the 9TH OF July, a day of ma
tional celebration; but owing TO the
backward state OF business, Congress
could not afford to take a holiday.
The programme for the day here is
very complete, the principal item being
a grand display OF fireworks on the
grounds south of the White House.
The order OF business in Congress has
been definitely stated, so far as /
have noticed, but it is generally con-
coded that very little else will

appropriation bills. The House
has now the general deficiency
appropriation bill in hand, and the SEN
ale is giving some attention TO the
and harboT bill.
Some time ago the following
bill passed the Senate, and on Friday
last past the House:
BE % enacted, etc. That hereafter
the Supreme Court Of the Territory of
Montana shall consist of q chief justice
and three associate justices, three of
shall constitute q Quorum: they
shall hold their offices for four years,
and until their successors are appointed
and qualified: they shall hold q term
annually at the seat Of government of
said Territory: PrOUided, hOtCerer, That
no justice shall act as q member of
the Supreme Court of said Territory of
,1OutAuh III any ACTION OF Processing
brought 10 such court by writ OF error,
Dill of exceptions, or appeal from a
decision, judgment, or decree rendered
him as judge of a district court.
SKc. 2.-1hat said Territory shall be
divided into four judicial districts, and
/ district court shall be held in each
district Of the Territory by one Of the
of the Supreme Court, at such
lme and place as may be prescribed by
aw.
SEC. 3.-That all Offenses committed
before the passage OF this act shall be
prosecuted, tiled nd determined in the
anne manner and with the same effect
IS II this act had not been passed"
Several months ago Delegate Game
IN the House, = similar bill
or the Territory OF Utah. and it is now
'efore the Judiciary Committee. There
:. OF course, no hope Of its passing this
and il is doubtful II II viii be
the next. II certainly seems
lght, however, that the Supreme Court
onsist of q chief justice and three ssso
late justices, and thus do away with
be farce of q judge taking part in the
Of csse which he has decided
5 judge OF q district court.
