THE WEEKS WORK AT WASHINGTON


A ssssisa Fer the Parposs of Amusing ths
Multitude
WAsaISsroS, Aug 4.-Congress this past
week has once again attempted 20 accom-
plish a great deal of work which has nsces-
sarily accumulated from the great tariff dis
cussion. The attempt made to accomplish
this work has. TO certain extent. been fairly
successful. Still. the many bills which are
under consideration in the House are very
frequently laid aside in order TO allow each
side to do . little political skirmishiDg.
Several evenings were set apart TO consider
some of the more important measures.
and for two evenings the number
or bills discussed was very gratifying TO
note and all seemed well when the next
night was set apart for the consideration of
bills reported from the Com Rittee on War
Claims. These bills 10 be taken up that
evening were supposed TO be bills TO which
no objections would be made. but never
theless objections were made, and the
special session resulted in regular
trayesty. It seems that after the
first two or three objections were
made the members then took the
cue and promoted the fun for the
special edihcstion and delight Of the people
in the galleries. Congressman Kilgore,
who was one Of the principal "objectors" to
the various bills called up. stated today that
be aud a few other members were strepl
ously adverse TO having the House adjourn
so soon after meeting. when such . large
crowd ia the galleries were in attendance.
Consequently" said Kilgore. "the session
was really for the purpose of amusing the
assembled multitude rather than for the
transaction OF any business"
