SCENES AT THE CAPITOL.
The President and His Cabiaet In at the
Death OF Congress. -

The corridor in the rear Of the Senate cham
Der was almost unoccupied and wholly unob-
structed at las this afternoon; at 2 O'Clock
there was crowd 81 both ends
while inside 10 was dotted with
little groups Of statesmen and others
who we're privileged to enter the mar
BILE room. The arrival Of President Harrison
was responsible for the increase Of activity,
and there was no diminution in the crows
40 the various members Of the cabi-
net put in an appearance. Postmaster
General wanamaker was the first member Of
the executive family &c report for duty. He
was followed by Secretary Tracy. Secretary
Proctor. Attoi ney General Miller and Secretary
Window. The advent OF Secretary Blaine
was awaited with evidsnt ,impatience by
the crowd which got as near to the Presidents
room as Capt AlIa5ach aud one of his officers
would permit At the Presidents door was the
Old reliable Charley Loeffler. and there were as
many warm greetings for the Presidents
man In the assemblage. In the Presidents
room reception proceeded for more than half
an hou.. nearly all the republican Senators and
not a few democrats going in to pay their re-
specs to tte Chief Magistrate.
HORSE PLAY IN THE HOUSE
II took Congress some time to be sure that
it could adjoarn today, hut when
they finally came to the conclusion
that there was no doub; about
the adjournment. there was the usual hustling
about and horseplay. Members in the House
were on hand to talk to death many small
measures which il was hoped by
some would receive action at the last moment
Members with their little bills were crowding
each other for recognition, and there were
heavy hearts while the House listened to the
funny talk OF Mr.. Allen of Mississippi.
MANY MEMBERS WANTED THEIR PAY
before going home, and there was widespread
spirit Of discomfort when they found that it
would be day or two before they could draw
any money from the sergeant-at-arms' Office.
A proposition was made to pass a resolution
advancing pay day, but there was obstruction
in its way.

THE POOL SELLING BILL.
The President Vetoes Ii, Because II
.... Doesn't Go Far Enough.

The President has vetoed the ''bookmaking
and pool selling bill" His message with the
rejected bill was brought to the Senate
shortly before O'Clock. The message reads:
To the Senate return wit bout my approval
the bill Is. $780, Ito prohibit bookmaking Of
any kind and pool selling in tn District Of CO.
lumbia for the purpose OF gaming" Ny objection
to the bill is that it does not prohibit bookmak-
ing and pool selling, but on the contrary ex-
pressly saves from the operation Of its uoki-
billions and penalties the Washington Jockey
Club, ''and any other regular organfzssfone
owning race tracks no lese than one feile IN
length, &C."
II this form Of gambling is to be prohibited,
a. l think il should be, the penalties should in.
clude all persons and all places.

THE POOL SELLERS WILL COME BACK.
Pool sellers arc IA class OF gentry that are not
as a rule very far behind the procession, but
this time the joke is on them for their too
much previousness. As stated in The STAR on
Monday the book makers and pool Sellers who
have made their hes d quarters on eth
street beyond Florida avenue, made
up their mind that there was
no use in fighting against tho law that was lust
passed putting stop to their business within
the District. So they packed up their lares and
pcnates. likewise their black boards and
pool tickets and crossed the river to jackson
City expecting to thrive delightfully."- there
They never stopped to wonder whether or not
the President would veto the bill They went
at the first word.
Mr.. Harrison however. said no to the bill
and people can now back the favorites any,
where outside the city limits and within
the District limit The gentlemen
whose business it Is to get rich from those who
do back the favorites, and others now wish
they had not been quite SO soon in
moving their headquarters. They will
probably be doing business at their old
stand tomorrow and the voice OF the festive
bookmaker will once more be heard in the
land.

morning. He said few words of congratu-
ation TO the members Of his society upon

themselves the resources Of this country.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie then delivered the adj
dress OF welcome. He dwclt upon the close
friendship which has always existed between
the manufacturers of England and America
friendship that was increasing year by year.
The interest of one country was the concern
Of another. The United States was q great
consumer and n great producer, and her
superintendent prosperity could not fail to re-
fleet III a like manner upon all other countries.
Ho was glad to have the honor OF bidding the
members of the iron and steel institutes u
hearty welcome to America. ''You are well
come, thrice welcome" he said, Ito tho shores

us" he said, 10 be welcomed here by Mr.. Car
negie. who is the largest manufacturer of iron

ton We have been given here since we landed

committees have been appointed 10 urge the
matter upon Congress, hut until this summer
there never w.' much apparent ground on which
to base a possibility Of success August Is the
House passed tho bill giving the printers
bockbinders and pressmen the old scale Of
wages-0 cents per hour. The same bill also
provided that the rate OF wages for exclusive
night work between the hours Of pm and 8
am should be 50 cents per hour and that com.
remunerassd at the rate of 30 cents per thous-
and. Then the printers aad book binders and
pressmen were happy. for they felt confident
that the Senate was with them. This AFTERNOON
there was handed in a report on that House
act made by the Senate committee on printing.
INCREASED PAY ron NIGHT WORKERS ONLY.
The bill as amended rs a new measure. All
references to the increase OF wages for day
hands is omitted and the bill reads:

ing ohce and IN private establishments in
other cities. The advantage which accrues 90

The Government Printing Office are still re-
ceiving considerably more wages for the same
class OF work than are paid IN private eStab-
iishments. In view OF these facts the
committee Is Of the opinion that there is not
sufhcient reason for the restoration of wages as
proposed in the bill; yet at the same time the
committee does think that distinction should
be made between day and night work"

HOW BOY WAS cAUoHr
The last case happened yesterday near
Takoma Park. where two small BOYS placed
large stones on the tracks One OF the iucom-
ing trains ran against two such distractions.
ont fortunately no damage was done.
The boys at that time were not In sight but
when the Gaithersburg local that left hero at
III O'Clock was nearing a point just beyond
lakoma tho engineer, James n. Perry, saw
colored boy on the track STOPPING over as
though he was placing stone thereon. The
engine was reversed and the train stopped !
As was suspected, the boy had placed a stone
on the track. He was small colored bow
apparently eight or ten years old. The en-
gincer placed him under arrest and took him
to Gaithersburg. where he was turned over to
Detective Hutchinson OF the railroad company.

what charge could be made against him, but
Mr. Mullowney took him into court on a
charge of assault The boy was arraIgned and
he plead not guilty.
When questioned by Judge Miller he said he
was tive years old and that another boy PLACED
the stone On the track TO see the cars grind It
into powder.
Judge Miller said that some heroic treatment
would have to be adopted for this class Of
onenders. IL has not been long since q
stone was thrown through car win

two persons stole some of the CON-
pany's torpedocs and placed them on
the track and got tho trains so badly mixed
that they could hardly be Strengthened out.
The only thing the judge saw to do was 10 send
