| Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June I'm the course
OF speech to-day Mr.. Cox Of New Tori
said he hoped the Republicans would not
by their dilatory tactics, compel the ms.
jority Of the House to amend the rules II
order to insure vote on the
tariff bill before August. The
| remark WAS significant OF q
determination which has been virtually
reached by the Democl attic leaders to put
J s stop to such discussion as the tarif!
bill has received 80 far, discussion
which has no purpose exbect to consume
time. While nomiuelly considering the
paragraph putting lumber OF the free list
the Republicans have simply repeated
their olu platitudes about protection and
free trade and have rambled aimlessly
about all over the bill as though it wss
still under general discussion. There
have been half q dozen speeches on wool
and Pennsylvania member yesterday de-
voted all OF his time to auinine, which
has no connection with lumber except
that 1t Is made from the bark
of tree. This sort Of discussion
's simply flibusterlng in q very thin dis
| suise, and il it is continued the Demo-
Gratis will exercise the right Of the major
ity to put stop to it by the usual method
OF amending the rules and cutting short
the proflsless debate.
FURNISHING PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
WASHINGTON. June 2.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has sent to the House
Of Representatives letter calling atten-
ton to the fact that the uneXpended bal
arce Of the appropriation for furniture
and repairs OF furniture for public build
| ings for the year 1888 is but $685., snc to
the necessity for an additional appropria-
ton Of 1874, 500 to be immediately availa-
bic for furnishing new public buildings
| which are nearing completion. The Sec
Rotary says every efortis being made to
| have the buildings completed within the
ne Xs four months, and il action In max
ing the appropriation is delayed until the
regular appropriation bill is passed 1t will
be impractic BILE TO provide for occupancy
of the buildings at the date of their
completion.

WILL PULL THROUGH.
CHICAGO, ILL, June PA special from
Wsship gton says: General Sheridan, 1t
is believed by those who have been per
mitted to see him this morning, will pull
through unless he has another relapse.
The passage Of the bill reviving the rank
Of General, and the alacrity and cheerful
ness with which he WAS nominated and
confirmed, and his commission presented
to him have done him more good than
mere medicine. He seems to have taken
new grlp Oh llIS, ana 10 % QelermlneQ
TO live IL there is q fighting chance TO,
him. The General denies that he has at
