SHOREhAM.

The drought continues undated. Many
farmers are foddering their cows, there
being little or no feed in the pastures.
They eat hay as greedily as in the winter.

already ruined. Misfortune seems to
meet the poor farmer at every turn.

MATTERS AT WASHINGTON,

Congressman Randall's health is very
precarious.
The President has vetoed five more
pension bills.
There was a spicy passage between
Senators Blair and Morgan Thursday
over the fishery treaty.
Congressman A. p. Fitch of New York
has deserted the Republican party on ac-
count of the tariff issue.
The Senate has passed nine general
pension bills this session, and not one of
them has yet been reported to the House.
The President permitted the river and
harbor bill to become law without his
approval. 1t carries the largest appro-
priations ever made in that direction.
1t is believed that some difficulty will
be experienced in passing through the
House a $1,000 pension bill for Mrs. Sher-
idan. The sum of $1,000 is more likely
to be agreed upon.
1t is expected that the fishery treaty
will be rejected by the Senate this week.
The Democrats finally concluded not to
act as obstructionists, and will not de-
mand a Republican quorum.
President Cleveland's letter of accept
ance may possibly be given to the public
within a week. Thurman's has long been
ready, but has been withheld until the
head of the ticket saw fit to speak.
The Republican Senators, without call
ing a caucus, have decided to dispose of
the fishery treaty at all hazards next in
order will be the bills admitting Wash
ington Territory and South Dakota as
States.
Justice Harlan of the United States SUI
preme court has decided that vessels
which are licensed by the United States
government, and which sell liquor on
public waters, are not exempt from the
provisions of prohibitory or high license
laws in States or cities where they may
touch.
