House.

The announcement that the Senate had
passed an adjournment resolution, was made
to the House at one O'Clock, and was greeted
with applause by the handful of members
present.
The House adopted the resolution en-
powering the committee on appropriations
to sit during recess. The Seuates adjourn
ment resolution was laid before the House.
Mcmillan of Tennessee spoke, reviewing
the action of both houses on the tariff He
SAID that the Senate bill was in the interest
of the sugar trust and other monopolies and
wouldn't reduce the revenue over $50, ,000,-
600.
Bayne of Pennsylvania argued that the
reduction in the Mills bill would be $40 ,000,-
600 and a per cent. The Mills, not the
Senate bill, was protection and inspiration
of sugar. He reiterated the charge that the
president of the trust had appeared either
directly OF indirectly before the WAYS and
means committee and secured from that
committee such protection as would enable
the trust to flourish
Turner of Georgia called attention to the
fact that this charge has been denied by all
the gentlemen no constituted the ways and
means committee.
Bayne replied that it was denied that
Havemeyer appeared before the ways and
means committee officially but it was ad-
mitted by members of the committee that
Havemeyer and his attorney had CONVEX
sation with them respecting duty on sugar.
Breckenridge of Kentucky, said that the
statement CT Bayne was untrue. That it
must go on record.
McMilln said the statement couldn't be
substantiated for ii was absolutely devoid of
all faith.
After further assertion and contradiction
Bayne remarked that whether the committee
did it conscientiousiy or unconscientiously,
after the visit of Havemeyer, the bill was
changed by the committee SO as to protect
the sugar trust.
Turner said that statement was also un-
true. The change in the schedule occurred
prior to the visit of Havemeyer.
A long, acrimonious discussion followed
between E. B. Taylor of Ohio, and Brecken-
ridge of Kentucky over the Hayemeyer su-
gar trust matter, during which each accused
the other of falsehood.
After further discussion, the Senate reso-
luton for final adjournment was concurred
in.
A resolution 10 prevent army and navy
bands entering into competition with civilian
musicians, was passed.
The House then adjourned.

AT RHINECLIFFE.
Five Thousand People Call on Levi P.
Morton
PoUGHKEEPsIE, n. Y, Oct. Is.

IUUNfff fffkEETSIti N. :, VCI. TO.
large number of Republican clubs from
towns along the river, called on Levi p.
Morton at Rhineclitf tonight. About 5000
men were present. Mr.. Morton
spoke briefly and in conclusion said Only
few days remain for effective work before
the verdict must be given, which, in my
judgment, will have far reaching effect
upon the prosperity of the country. The
absorbing question is whether that verdict
favors continuance of those principles of
protection for which the Republican party
always contended, and which placed the
country at the head of industrial nations.
With such complete harmony in our ranks,
such unison in sentiment in action and in
expectation we may await the verdict with
confident assurance.

The firm of Geo. Denham 4 Co., whole
sale boot and shoe dealers in Boston whose
failure was announced yesterday were con-
sgnors and owners of large portion of the
stock of j. S. johnson Il Co, of this city.
Before their failure it is claimed that they
made an assignment of this stock to one Of
their creditors in Boston. This creditor in
turn assigned his interest to Mr.. Moulton Of
Boston, who is now in this city. Mr.. Moul-
ton has sold his interest in the stock to Mr.
L. G. Storer, and an account of the goods in
the store was taken yesterday. Mr.. Moul-
ton positively declined to make any statement
in regard to the subject or to give the name
of the creditor of Denham from whom he
received the goods, and the rumor that he is
unwilling to give bond of indemnity has
caused considerable comment. We are hap
py to state that the change in the owner
ship of the goods does not affect Mr.. John
son in the least, and that he will be found
as heretofore at the old stand.
