Congress Adjourned Till Sat-

The President VetOes a Public
Building Bill.
All Nations Invited to Participate
In the Worlds Fair.
Great Rejoicing in Chicago Over the
Presidents Proclamation-Wor

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-In the senate
today unanimous consent was asked
for the passage of Joint resolution ex-
tending until July L, 1891, the period
during which the laws of Nebraska
shall be in focce in the cerritory of Ok
lahoma, Edmunds explaining that the
act creating the territory placed over it
the laws of Nebraska until the close of
the first session of the territorial legis-
lature. 1t was presumed that the legis-
lature would enact code of laws, but it
had failed to do so, and the term of its
service would expire today. If congress
failed to act now, the territory would be
in a state of chaos.
Morgan objected to consideration Of
the resolution, and it was laid over.
Morgan called up his resolution di-
recting the committee on privileges and
elections to amend section 81 of the cleo
tions bill.
Sherman contended that it was not
now in order to call up the resolution,
except upon formal motion.
Pending the debate which followed,
the hour of IL arrived, and Mcpherson
continued his speech against the cleo
tions bill. He went on to arraign the
Republican party and to denounce the
methods pursued by Davenport.
A message from the president was re-
ceived and read, returning without ap-
proval, the bill appropriating $75, 900 for
a public building at Bar Harbor, Me-,
on the ground that the public needs at
that place did not justify such expend-
iture. Only one public Office (the post
office) is to be accommodated. The
president sets forth the facts that the
rent paid for the postoffice in 1883 was
$500. One clerk was employed and no
carrier. The gross postal receipts for
that year were $1,000. Bar Harbor is al
most wholly summer resort. The postal
receipts OF $780, show that for more than
half the year the gross receipts of the
postotfice were about IS day. The pres
ident says the salary of the janitor for
the new building would be more than
twice the present cost to the government
for rent, fuel and light. He cannot be-
lieve that upon reconsideration congress
will approve the contemplated eXpendi-
ture. The message was referred to the
committee on public buildings and
grounds.
The senate then, at II :45 p. m., ad-
journed until Saturday at noon, with
the understanding that when it meets
on that day, the vice-presldent shall de,
clare it adjourned until Monday.

THREE HUNDRED HOMELESS,

Disastrous Fire at Braddock, Pa.,-Forty-
One Dwellings Burned. Mostly the
Houses of Steel Works Employees, Who
are Left Homeless on the Streets-Tem-
porary Aid Provided.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 1.-Forty-one
dwelling houses were DESTROYED by fire
in Braddock yesterday afternoon be-
tween the hours of two and six o'clock,
and more than three hundred persons
were for the time being, rendered home
less. The fire broke out in a stable on
Washington street A strong wind car
ried the flames along both sides of the
street until more than two blocks of
building were burned. The houses
were all frame structures and in few
minutes the fire was beyond control.
The high wind carried the burning
shingles long distances, and at one time
furious flames were burning in five diff
ferent places, threatening the lower
part of the town near the steel works
with destruction. The burgess tele-
graphed to this city for assistance. Two
fire engines were ordered to the scene,
but their services were not required.
The houses were nearly all owned
and occupied by the employees at the
steel works and the families of labor
ers. Very little Of their household eff
fects were saved. Late last evening all
of the homeless had been provided with
temporary lodging places. To-day Man
ager Schwab of the steel works will be-
gin the erection of houses for his en-
ployes on the fire-swept district. The
loss on buildings and household goods
will aggregate $50, 600. The insurance
is estimated at S25 O0O No serious ac-
cidents are reported.

CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

Great Une4sness Caused in Western Eu
rope by Confirmation of the Prevalence
of Cholera in Epidemic Form at Ba gdad
and Mecct-Strict Preca utiOnS Being
Taken at EntrepOts of Oriental Traffic.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The confirma ton
of the reported existence of cholera to
an epidemic degree at Bagdad and
Mecca causes great uneasiness in West
err Europe, and strict precautions are
being taken at Marseilles and other
entrepots of oriental traffic to prevent,
if possible, the introduction of infectio
through those ports. The cholera at
Mecca is always caused, as every body
knows, by the presence of immense
crowds of pilgrims to the holy city of
Mohammed. who have not the Sigh test
notion of sanitary laws and who live in
a condition of filth almost indescriba-
BILE Mecca will continue to be tho
starting place of cholera epidemics,
therefore until Arabia is placed under
some strong, enlightened govern
ment, which will enforce SAN
irary precautions at the holy city.
The pilgrimage this year is on a more
extensive scale than for many years
past, and queer feature of that fact
was that at Cairo the Egyptian troops
who turned out to give the procession
start were commanded by British Off
GERS. The manner of pilgrimages is
now greatly changed, enterprising
brokers taking pilgrims in hand and
forwarding them by steamer and rail
at so much a head; much more COM
Portable way than the old journey
through the desert.
A SEVERE CRITICISM.

deny that the English company is re-

they assert that the traffic goes on right

Matter of Investment - Disgraceful
Publications. Among Recent Newspaper
Publications.
New YORK, July 3I.-Russell B. Har-
rison, in speaking to Press reporter
to-day about the Cape May cottage said
that when the parties visited Wash
ington with the decd of the cottage the
President declined to accept the gift,
but told the would-be donors that as
they had prepared the cottage for the
family he would arrange for them to go
there, and would determine later
whether to rent or buy the cottage,
Mrs. Harrison was so pleased with the
cottage, after occupying it, that the
President decided to buy it, and he did
SO.
Referring to the Echo Point real es-
tate purchase, Mr.. Harrison said the
land was bought as an investment. 1t
lies outside the District of Columbia,
and could not be affected by any action
of Congress or the District commission
ers. The property standing in Mrs.
Harrison's name is owned by her father,
D.. Scott He wished 1T decided to her
because of his great age and in lieu Of
will.
Mrs. Harrison has informed Russell
Harrison that she never made the state
ments about the gift of the Cape May
cottage which have been attributed to
her. She never gave an interview on
the subject. Mr.. Russell Harrison
added that he was sorry that some In
dependent and Democratic papers had
attacked the ladies of the Presidents
family. The course of these papers was
the more marked when the uniformly
kind treatment Mrs. Cleveland received
from the Republican press is consid-
cred. Every lover of decency will de-
cry the course of a certain Chicago
paper in publishing disgraceful fabri-
cations to the effect that Mrs. Russell
Harrison is not treated we'll by Mrs.
Benjamin Harrison. and Mrs. Mckee.

that the story Of that paper is an out
