WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-The question
of the adjournment of congress is still
uppermost in most minds here, but no
body seems to have any definite dnfor-
nation on the subject, and while MEM
bers of both houses say they are willing
to adjourn, nobody seems ready or in
clined to take the initiative. There is
about as much uncertainty about the
question as there has been at any time
in the past. There are almost as many
reports as there are differences OF Opln-
ion on the subject. Mr.. Talbot. the
clerk of the WAYS and means committee
is at work on all analysis of the senate
tariff bill. and similar work is being
done by experts at the treasury depart
ment and elsewhere. Members who
are going to discuss the bill on the
stump are making study and all the
information possible is being assembled.
As the work progresses the Democratic
authorities on the question eX-
press satisfaction at the result
and become more determined
that the bill shall be fully
explained and criticised before election.
They are determined that an adjourn
ment shall not be had until thorough
exposition of the bill has been made.
As long as congress remains in session
and this bill is held up as the cause OF
the delay public attention will be
turned upon it and all that is said may
be listened to. But if an adjournment
should occur they fear the bill, with
all the defects they insist are in it,
would be in danger of dropping out OF
public notice. For this reason the
many Democrats in the house are OPP
posed to an adjournment until the eX-
piration of ten days or two weeks yet,
and it is quite likely that their advice
will be respected. 1t is generally I'M
derstOod in the house that the senate is
ready to accept an adjournment prOpo.
stiOn whenever it comes to them. Not
wlthstanding these conflicting views
Republican sensatOr is authority for
the statement that an adjournment
resolution will be introduced Monday,
and that congress will adjourn next
Wednesday.

AN IsTHMAN DITCH.
The Lower House Discusses the
Nicaragua Canal Project.

WASHINGTON, Oct. f2.-The house
devoted almost the entire day with the
discussion of the Nicaragua canal bill
without obtaining action upon it. Sew
eral leaves of absence were granted.
The conference report OH the Fourth of
July claims bill was agreed to. The
report of the Stahlnecker investi-
eating committee, generating Mr..
Stahlneeker from the charges of
misconduct in connection with
the new library building, was
adopted. The senate bill for the incOr-
poration of the Maritime Canal COM
pany, of Nicaragua, was discussed at
length. Mr.. Fuller, of Iowa, claimed
that the bill was loosely drawn,
and offered an amendment, pro-
viding that no change in the
bylaws shall be made except by ma
jOrity vote of the stockholders at a
special meeting. Mr.. StOckdale, of
Mississippi. thought the interests of the
United States were not sufficiently pro-
teeted in the bill. On the amendment
the point of no quorum was raised,
whereupOn the committee rose. During
the discussion business was suspended
long enough for the house to agree to a
a conference report on the bill to retire
Gen. Alfred Pieasanton with the rank
of major. Several minor bills were
passed. Mr.. Oates, of Alabama. asked
permission to print in the Record some
remarks on the tariff. but as he said that
they were in the form of an essay by the
chief Justice of the supreme court of his
state, objection was made. After some
time spent in filibusterlng the house at
I'D. M. adjourned until Monday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The feature
of to-day's proceedings in the senate
was the continuation of the tariff dis
cussion. After routine business had
been transacted. Mr.. Chase concluded
his remarks began yesterday, compar-
ing the conduct of the postal service
under Republican and Democratic adj
ministrations. Mr.. Dolph asked Mr..
Allison if the senate tariff bill put coal
in any form on the free list. Mr.. Al
lisOn replied that coal slack or culm was
put on the free list. but that il was the
intention of the majority of the finance
committee to restore it to the dutiable
list, MIR. Call addressed the senate at
length. He spoke of Mr.. Platt's at
tempt to connect financial questions with
the old difficulties that existed be-
tween the people of the United
States as unworthy of any reasoning
mind. The Democratic party proposed
to reduce taxes on articles of general
consumption. The Republican party,
he said. had insisted that taxation was
benefit and not an injury to the people
of the country. He deplOred the doc
trine on which the senate bill was
based. 1t was fatal mistake-a mis-
take which concerned the rich as we'll
as the poor. The South had but little
to do with the movement for tariff re-
form. 1t was the uprising of the intel
ligent thought of the world. Mr.. Haw-
ley spoke briefly. He said that he had
intended making a long speech, but his
heart was in another place. He thought
the senate bill the best first draft of a
tariff bill ever submitted to congress.
Nobody, however. believed that itcould
be disposed of at this session. In his
humble Judgment the best thing that
senators could do was to go home, and
HE FOR ONE WAS GOING.
Mr.. Reagan addressed the senate on the
tariff question. He said that he would
not agree to vote for every item in the
house bill nor against every item in the
bill before the senate. During his re-
marks Mr.. Reagan made a statement
about the amount of money taken out of
the pockets of the people by the manu-
facturers. to which both Mr.. Aldrieh
and Mr.. HOar objected, and a long con-.
trOversy eusued. At its conclusion. the
question at issue being apparently as
much clouded as before, Mr.. Reagan
SAID that he did not expect to convince

DEADWOOD, OAK, Oct. 12.-AbOut
o'clock this morning a dastardly at
tempt at train robbery was made in
Reno guleh. on the Black Hills IL Fort
Pierre railroad. The road is owned and
operated by the HOmestake Mining
company, which employs large num-
Der of men at wood chOpping at Browns
vile, the terminus of the road, distant
about twenty miles from Lead City.
This was the regular payday at
Brownsville, and it was generally
known that PaymaSter Reemer would
go out with $4,000 to liquidate the Sep
TENDER pay roll. The robbers, aware of
this, had planned to wreck the train,
slaughter the crew, capture the
Doodle and escape. To carry
this out the fsh-plates had
been removed and the rails spiked so
that the engine dropped down on the
ties, and the coach was also derailed.
Fortunately the train was not running
at very rapid rate. By reversing the
leaver the engineer quickly brought it
to a standstill. As it stopped
THREE MEN ROSE UP
in the brush and commanded hands up,
and before the order could be Obeyed
opened fire. The fire was returned at
once by Paymaster Reemer. who, armed
with a double-barreled. shotgun, man
aged to bring down two of the three
desperadOes. One of them. Charles
Clark, was shot in the ear, and
crawled off in the underbrush to die.
The other, John Wilson, was wounded
in the head and in the left side, the
buckshot penetrating his spine. He is
now in Jail here, but will likely die be-
fore morning. The third man, Charles
johnson, was unhurt. He reached his
horse and succeeded in getting away.
Sheriff Knight, in command of a large
posse, is securing the country, and he
will in all probability be captured.
John Wilson, the wounded man,
Is A NOTED DESPERATE,
hailing from New York. He came TO
the Hills in the early days. and mas
always been supposed to have been
member of the old gang of stage robbers
that operated in 1876 and 1877 in the
Black Hills. After his capture he
stated that there is now an
organized band of thirty men in the
neighbOrhood who are determined on
horse stealing, train wreeking and rob-
bling and none of whom will stop at any
thing to accomplish their ends. The
story is not credited. Besides Mr..
Reemer there were ol the train r. E.
Blackstone, superintendent of the Father
De Smet mine; John B. Cumisky,
engineer, and Morgan, fireman; Charles
Crist, conductor: Charles Lavine, brake
man. and Hans Anderson, passenger,
residing in Brownsville. The affair has
created the greatest excitement and
should johnson be captured, it is likely
to 20 hard with him.

restoration of pension to Sarah A. Wood
bridge on the grounds that the precedent
ought not to be established of granting
a pension to soldiers widow after re-
marriage, when the second husband
still survives. The president, in his veto
message, says: IF in pension legis-
lation we attempt to determine the cases
OF this description, in which the second
husband cannot or does not properly
maintain the soldiers widow whom ne
has married. we shall open the door to
much confusion and uncertainty, as
well as unjust discrimination. L am
glad to learn, from a statement con-
Gained in the committees report, that
this beneficiary, though in condition
making the aid of a pension very desir-
able, has a small income derived from
property inherited from her mother"
