WASHINGTON, -. y. sep. lO, 'oS.
The President certainly has a
right to feel proud of the House of
Representatives. Both for the
many compliments he received
from the Speakers on the Retalla-
tion bill, and for the decisive char
acter of the vote in favor of that
measure. Its prompt passage by
the House is due notice to the pub
lie both at home and abroad that
the people of this country endorse
every word of Mr.. Cleveland's al
ready celebrated Retaliation mess
age, and that they are fully prepar-
ed to back him up to any extent.
The praise given Mr.. Cleveland by
members of the House in their
speeches was great, but great as 1t
was 1t was no greater than he de-
served for his prompt and courage
GUS action. Some of the speeches
delivered were full of fight, as may
be seen by the following extract
from the conclusion ofthe remarks
Of Mr., Wilson, of Minnesota: But
should the Queen of england and
Empress Of India, forgetting the
lessons to her ancestors in the past
aim, or discharge at us one un-
friendly gun from one of her gum
boats, predict that the echo which
it would awaken, would not cease
to reverberate before Grover Cteve-
land, President of the greatest re-
public on earth, would salute Chas.
Stewart Parnel as the president of
the youngest epublic on earth.
A compromise has been made by
the conferees on the fortification
bill, and it was to-day reported to
both Houses. The amount now ap-
propriated by it is 1885,, 2,OOO-S65O,
600 less than as it passed the Sen
ate. This time the House confer
ees fought for their rights and they
them.
Secretary Fairchild leaves for Il
months vacation this week.
The Pref dent has discovered
eight more bad private pension bills
He vetoed them.
1t has been decided by the Dem.
leaders of the House not to take
any steps looking toward adjourn
ment until after the Senate had
shown what they propose doing
with their tariff bill, which is to be
reported this week. 1t is stated
that the President and the party
leaders have agreed that should
the republicans of the Senate pass
a fairly good tariff bill as substi-
tute for the Mills bill, that it shall
he taken up and passed by the
House before adjourning, in order
to show the people of the country
that all the democrats want is bill
that will in fair way release our
enormous treasury surplus. On the
other hand, should the bill report.
ed in the Senate be bad one, it is
proposed to Immediately open q
vigorous fight upon it making the
issue before the country between il
and the Mills bill.
The republican Senators who
hardly know what to do, have,
am informed, decided to let the
Main election decide for them. L
they make gains on the vote Of 49,
they will go ahead and pass theil
tariff bill; hut if they fall below
the 'S4 vote, they will report theil
bill and adjourn.
The Chinese restriction bill ha.
passed the house unanimously, anC
the Senate, with only three vote!
against it; but there is now pend
ing in the Senate a motion for a re
consideration, which will probabl.

provides that from and after it,
