ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
The House to Show Up the Senates
Blame for the Long Session.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-As a matter of
policy and with a view to placing ON the
Senate the responsibility for further pro-
longation of the session of congress, the
democratic members in the House have de-
termined TO hasten final action
50 far as t iles ILL., in their
power. The adoption of the conference re-
port upon the Notifications appropriation
bill to-day marked the inauguration of this
policy. The bill was finally disposed of as
far as the house 10 concerned without a
word of debate, although it en-
bodies Mr.. Sayers' proposition
of an appropriation of s15, 900, 900 for steel
forgings, which was originally the subject
of strong opposition.
The sundry civil and army appropriation
bills will be pushed through this week, and
there will then remain of the regular an
nual appropriation bills only the general de-
flciency bill, which is expected to be re-
turned to the House by the end of this
week or the beginning of next week.
MUST MEET THE TARIFF ISSUE.
The democrats want it distinctly under
stood that the only reason why congress is
staying here is because the Senate has not
acted on the tariff tax reduction bill which
the house sent over in July. The democrats
do not propose to adjourn until the Senate
republicans have shown what they propose
TO do about the tariff The House demo
crats by the time they hold their
caucus hope to know what the course of the
Senate republicans is to be in regard to the
tariff bill. The effect Of the Maine election
will then be apparent The caucus will
probably determine, az the leaders have
already done, that If the Senate passes no
bill, or passes an unsatisfactory one, the
House shall pass the Breckinridge antitrust
measure and let the Senate define its atti-
tude toward them. There will be no ad-
journment until the democrats are con
WINGED that there can be no tariff legislation.
CALL FOR A CAUCUS.
A call for democratic caucus to be held
Thursday is being circulated The object
is to secure uniformity of action upon
pending business, TO give expression to the
wishes of the majority relative to final ad-
journment or a recess, aud to discuss the
expediency of the bill attacking trusts as
proposed by Mr.. Breckinridge Of Arkansas.
Meanwhile it is improbable. that meet
ing of the ways and means committe will
be called until the caucus has outlined the
wishes OF the democratic side of the House.

WILL OF THE PEOPLE
SO far as he was concerned, he had
reached the conclusion that the will of the
American people as TO the total exclusion Of

Mr.. Stewart then made a motion TO that
effect, and it was carried.

COTTON'S CONDITION.
Excessive Rains With Rust and
Worms Doing Some Damage.

Excessive Rains With Rust and
Worms Doing Some Damage.
WASHINGTON, Sept. t0.-The September
report of the department of agriculture
makes the average condition of cotton 1873,
decline OF 31S points since the last report.
The general average is slightly higher than
in 1887 and 1886, when it stood at S2S and
80 ! respec lively. The decline while slight
has been general throughout the belt, ex-
cept in North Carolina and Tennessee,
where more seasonable weather has resulted
in slightly improved condition. Local
damage has resulted in the Caro-
linas from both drought and
excess of moisture, the rainfall during the
month having been unevenly distributed.
Rust general throughout Georgia, and
with drought and shedding of the bolls has
seriously reduced the condition. Alabama
has suffered from heat and drought, and in
some sections the month closes with appre-
tensions of damage from the excessive and
continuous rainfall.
IN THE SOUTHWEST.
The decline in Mississippi and Louisiana
is the result Of marked excess of moisture
duling the last two weeks Of August. A
severe storm which swept over the states on
Aug. 10 and 20 prostrated the plant, and
continuous rains have beaten out the bolls
and caused some rotting.
The crop in Texas was beginning to suffer
for moisture when the rains Of the latter
part of bhe month came, covering
over the greater part OF the state, breaking
the threatened drought and arresting the
decline in the condition which had set in.
The Arkansas average has been lowered
by locally unfavorable seasons and excessive
moisture, especially toward the close of the
month
IN TENNESSEE.
The month was favorable in Tennessee,
the seasons good and but little complaint of
rust.

SURPLUS OF THE TREASURY.
Heavy Purchases of Bonds Reduce II
Very Materially.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The heavy pur-
chases OF United States bonds last week
caused marked decline in the treasury
surplus, which fell of from S110, ,000, 900 last
night TO sl03, $50, 900, as stated in the
treasurer's statement to-day. The discrep-
ancy between this amount and the surplus
US stated In the Presidents letter Of ac-
ceptance, sl32, 900. 900, is probably due to
the fact that the President included about
S25, ,000, 900 OF fractional coin on hand as
part Of the surplus, while the treasury Off
cials do not.
