 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Senate this week will work industriously on several bills which head the list of measures which the Republican caucus last week decided should be acted upon promptly and before the close of the session.
 The conference report on the Land Grant Forfeiture bill is still unfinished business, and is likely to be disposed of this afternoon. The Anti-Lottery bill, according to the Republican caucus programme, is the next thing to be considered and acted on, and will probably come up tomorrow.
 The bill fer the relief of the Supreme Court of the United States is next on the list, and this and the bill providing for the transfer of the revenue marine to the Navy Department, which Senator Gray has given notice he will call up on Wednesday or Thursday, and the sew eral labor bills that recently passed the House, and which come next on the list of measures on the Republics caucus programme, are more than enough to occupy the time of the Senate during the week.

Sixteen Millions of Four Per
 Cents to be Purchased.
SECRETARY WINDOWS CIRCULAR
This Years Interest on the Six Per Gents
 to be Paid at Once.

Proposals Will be Received at the Treas

 President Watches the Financial Trouble General NettletOn Says the Bonded
 Period Will be Extended.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Secretary Win dom has announced that he will pur- phase $16,000, 900 of four per cont. bonds and prepay the interest on between fifty and sixty millions of six per cents., in order to relieve the stringency in the money market.
 The order was issued from Washing ton this morning giving notice that offers for the bonds to be purchased will be received st E o'clock, noon. next Wednesday. MT. Windom said that he had named $16,O0O.00O as the amount of bonds to be~ purchased be- cause, as the entire available surplus is now $52, ,000, 900, the Treasury has outstanding offers for bonds and in terest amounting to $50, 900, 900, and the amount of four per cents. now asked for will require about SEQ, ,000,. 900. This, together with what will be required for the prepayment of the interest on the six per cents. will con sume the entire available surplus.
 MT. Windom further said there was no doubt in his mind that the action taken will bring satisfactory relief ii theIholders of the bonds are disposed to cooperate with the Treasury. He sees no great danger of serious fnan cial trouble, and it will not be the fault of the Treasury department if it comes.
 The offer for four per cents, he says, is exceptional, and is not to be regarded as the policy of the administration, for with this purchase, if it shall be made, the Treasury goes out of the market for the purchase of that class of bonds, surplus to the purchase of four and a half per cents.
 MT. Windom has gone to Williams town, Mass, to join his family.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Tarif Bill to be Reported From
 Committee on Wednesday.

The TariH Bill to be Reported From
 Committee on Wednesday.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Ths Rspub- lican leaders of the House have not only determined that the flibustering pro ceedings which were so successfully carried on last week while the majority was endeavoring to call up the Lang ston- Venabie contested election case for discussion shall not be carried fur ther, but have determined to administer discipline to the minority by pushing through the contested election case of Miller against Elliott from the Seventh District of South Carolina immediately after the Langst .-Venable case is dis posed of. &/
 The discipline which the Republicans will enforce will consist in limiting the debate to about forty minutes, a vote to be immediately taken when the debate is closed.
 In conformity with the action of the Republican caucus the Tariff bill will be reported from the Ways and Means Committee early this week, on Wednes- day probably, accompanied by an order from the Committee on Rules setting apart for debate what the committee consider reasonable time. When the time allowed for this discussion has expired vote on non-concurrence in all the Senate amendments will be taken and the Republican votes will send the bill to conference. It is believed by prominent Republican members, and was so stated in caucus, that the conference reports will be pre- sented in both Houses in less than @ week.
 The rest of the week in the House will be consumed as the Committee on Rules sees fit. The general Deficiency bill with Senate amendments now in the hands of the Appropriations Com mittee of the House is likely to be re- ported back to the House during the week, with disagreements and @ re- quest for the appointment of a com mittee on conference.

 WASHINGTON Sant Is

CREssoN. Pa., Sept 15.-The President is still watching closely the threatened embarrassment to financial affairs in New York city. : He had telegraphic conference with the leaders of the House of Representatives, and while nothing of an official character can be obtained, it is understood that the President made his views quite plain on the subject, and there appears to be no doubt that he favors the extension of the bonded period on goods in the custom house to e date which will re- move all probability of financial em. barrassment to importers. The Presi- dents advices from Secretary Windom have all been of character to leave the impression that the worst of the threatened trouble had passed and that no immediate apprehension need be felt

HIS TRAGIC DEATH.
Robert Ray Hamilton's Body Found in a
 Tree in Yellowstone Park.

Tree in Yellowstone Park.
 HELENA, Mont, Sept. 15.-The par ticulars of the drowning of Robert Ray H&nilton, the central figure in the famous scandal case at Atlantic City, N. J., are furnished by F. O. Green, son of Dr. Norvin Green, of New York.
 Green and hunting party left Beaver Canyon, on the Utah & Northern Railroad, on the Idaho line, August 15, and struck across country to Yellow stone Park. They reached a ranch on the Snake River, which had been pur- chased by Hamilton with the intention of making it an outftting station for travellers.
 They learned that five days before Hamilton had started out alone on a hunting trip and had not yet returned. Green, on August 23, organized a searching party and started out to find him.
 About seventy miles below the ranch Hamilton's body was found in the over hanging branches of tree in the river. It. had evidently beeL there several days. A mile away his horse,with an antelope tied to a reversed saddle, was found grazing. Near by was his dog.
 It was evident that he was drowned while fording the river, which is very high at that point. In his coat wer @ found letters relating to his divorce suit, now pending, and concerning busi- ness matters.
 Hamilton came to the country some time ago and purchased the ranch with view of making it his permanent resi-. dence. He intended returning to New York October 1 and close up some busi- ness matters before returning here to remain.
 It is not learned what was done with the body. Green, after the discovery, went through the park to Great Falls and then came here, leaving for the East last night. He was personally &C., quainted with Hamilton, whose iden- tity is beyond doubt.

 A large crowd gathered around her, and she was heard to say:
 to me aud they would be far better off in Heaven. Take them, God, as l shall be compelled to kill them tonight"
 The crowd of people became excited and called Policeman Hook of the East the. woman. Then she jumped up and bit his finger. It required the united efforts of three men to carry her to the station house.

THE BASEBALL WORLD.
Both Leagues Now Working Hard to Win
 the Closing Games.


 the Closing Games.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The present week will see the last series of base ball games in this city. Alter that the League and Brotherhood clubs go West for the last bout. The Bostons will in all probability end where they are. New York and Brooklyn will battle for second place, and the other clubs will content themselves with miner positions.
 The past few days have witnessed some remarkable changes in both or ganizations, and during the remaining have a chance to get place will let up in their playing. In the Players League Ewing and Wards men have met with serious setbacks by the supe- rior playing of their opponents and bad weather. They are not dead yet, although they have been badly bruised. Ward has succeeded in getting back into second place, but his lead over tn 6 Giants is not surprisingly large. His team is nevertheless much better pre- pared for good battle than the New York club. Ewing's pitchers are in a bad way at present. If they recover by the time they face the Brooklyns at Brotherhood Park a bomb may be ex- pected to burst.
 In the National League the Chicagos have worried all the leaders lately. They have been playing a remarkably strong game, and its continuance means that neither Brooklyn nor the Booton will end in first place. It is hardly to be expected that Ans on can keep up his present gait. When the Eastern clubs go West his club will likely get & setback. He is neverthel ess preparing for staunch battle and will be found bitter foe to crush at this stage of the game.
 The Brooklyns are receding rapidly Their defeats in Philadelphia were not anticipated, but in baseball tbe unex- pected always occurs. A little more i'll luck such as the Brooklyns met with the past week will rob them of the honors they have fought for so nobly. The "Phillies and New Works have eGarted in as record breakers. They have little chance of winning the pom nant themselves, but find consolation in preventing some of the others from getting there.
