LOOKING TO ADJOURNMENT.
Tonight the Session Will Close To-
morrow.

Everything is cleared up for an adjournment
tomorrow, if the Senate votes on the tariff
report today. The tariff bill and all others that
are ready for the Presidents signature before
the close of the session have been enrolled,
the clerks having taken advantage of every
opportunity to advance their work and have
been busy night and day. About the clerks
Office today there was an active scene, people
Interested in various measures which have
passed both houses being on hand with anxious
inquiries as to whether the bills would be en-
rolled in time to get the Presidents signature.
Both men and women were hanging on to the
button hole of Mr.. Mcpherson, while ques-
tions have been poured in his ears.
little hitch occurred in the
bers of sections and while it was an unimpor-
tant matter it was regarded as best to make the
correction by resolution, which will be passed
by both houses.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Aldrich to have
vote on the report in the Senate before ad-
journment today, though to do this the session
may last until late tonight.
Mr.. Carlisle first made his reputation in the
House by his tariff speech. Today he sur
passed that effort and sprang to position be-
yond the most sanguine expectations of his
friends.
But the most powerful part of his speech
was the attack upon the proposed sugar
bounty. He attacked not the constitutionalIty
Of the provision, but its validity, and quoted the
highest judicial authority from Maine to Cali
fOrnia declaring such an act beyond the scope
and power of legislation.

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
ROANOKE. VA, Sept S0.-The Shenandoah
Valley railroad was sold today in compliance
with the DEGREES of the court. The sale was
conducted by Judge Robertson, counsel for the
plaintiff, the Fidelity Insurance, Trust

A. Moore, f.. special commissioner. The
first bid was s7,lo0,ooo, by Louis Fitzgerald,
chairman of the purchasing committee of the
first and general mortgage bond holders. Just
as It was about to be knocked Of at this bid n
J. Tubbs, mechanical engineer Of this city,
raised the bid $4,000.
This was like a bomb exploded and caused
NO little comment among the Norfolk and
Western people, who finally decided to try
Tubs metal Tubbs failed to comply
with the conditions of the sale, as
he was unable to produce $4,000, the
cash payment required The sale was reopened
and MIR. Fitzgerald made the same bid as at
first and the sale was closed, Mr.. Fitzgerald
giving certified check for SIS, 900, which was
Immediately deposited in the First National
Bank.
No one knows for whom Tubbs was bid
ding, and he Ii supposed not to have
any money of his own. Tubbs offered
to put up the required amount by
o'clock, but this was rejected. He says
he will contest the sale. His bid is generally
considered as a bluff. As the Norfolk and
Western people hold majority of the bonds
the road now passes into their hands.
