at and above Cincinnati is impeded by
reason of the construction OF ware
houses, wharves and docks by private
individuals and corporations.
Mr.. Owens, of Ohio. objected to its
consideration.
Mr. Carter, Of Montana, submitted
the conference report, and the bill TO
dispose of the Fort Ellis military reser-
vation. This bill Mr.. Allen, Of MiSsis
sippi, took as text for a political
speech. in which he charged the Repub
lican party with degeneracy and incOn-
Sstency. To say that the Republican
party has begun with Abraham Lincoln
and ended with Benjamin Harrison,
was proof that the party had gone to
seed.
Mr.. Allen criticised the Republican
campaign hand book, and Sarcastically
referred to the fact that it made no
reference to the speech of the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Kennedy, making
charges against the Chairman Of the Re
publican National COmmittee-chargeS
which had never been denied.
Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, denied
the truth of the charges. Attacks had
been made upon Lincoln, Grant, Blaine,
Garfield and Conkling, aud now attacks
were made upon another Republican,
leader Not a prominent Republican in
the past twenty-five years had escaped
calumny. Not a prominent Republican
whose name had added luStre to the his
tory of the country had been exempt
from attack. Not a single man who had
done exceeding honor 10 this great
country had escaped the venom, the
spleen. the calumny and meanneSs Of
the Democratic party. Who were dis
honored? The men who made the at
tacks. not the men who were attacked.
On this floor he had never heard
Republicans attack a prominent Demo
crat That was not the methods OF
Republicans. Their methods were
those Of decency, and their habits were
those of gentlemen.
Mr. Allen replied that he had not
made any attack upon Senator, or
upon the chairman Of the Republican
National Committee. He had merely
referred 10 the remarks of the gentle
man from Ohio. The gentleman from
PENNSYLVANIA had listened to a retera-
tion of those remarks without objection,
but now he became indignant when
Democrat merely referred to them.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Me
Kinley, Perkins and McMillin as the
committee to wait on the President.
Mr.. CaSwel, Of Wisconsin, submitted
letter addressed to the Speaker by
James l.. Wheat, Postmaster of the
House, rendering his resignation.
The report was accompanied by a
resolution declaring the Office Of post
master of the House vacant, and di-
recting the assistant postmaster to per-
form the duties of postmaster until
postmaster shall have been elected and
duly qualified.
The Wheat resolution was agreed TO.
The House then adjourned until g
o'clock.
During the recess, nearly all the
members left the hall to make prepara-
tions for their departure from the city.
and when the Speaker convened the
House. that official looked down upon a
vast array Of empty seats. He merely
stated that according to the concurrent
resolution he declared the first session
Of the Fifty-frSt Congress adjourned
without day.

FILLING UP THE GRANARIEs.
The supply of Wheat in the Elevators of
the Northwest Vastly Increased.

MINNEAPoIIs, October l.-Figurcs
compiled by the Northwestern MUicr
show the stock Of wheat in private ele-
vators Of Minneapolis to be s03, 600
bushels, an increase Of s04, 900 bushels
over last Monday. These figures, how
erer, include gll, 900 bushels held by
the Union Elevator, which is this week
for the first time omitted from the visi-
BILE supply statement on account of the
elevator having been changed from a
public 10 a private house. This leaves
stocks at three points as follows: Min
neapolis (public). 1.ll0,542 bushels;
private. l.s03, 600: Duluth, 96l, ,G49; ST.
Paul. $4,000. Total, 1890, l9l bushels.
Increase for the week, 46,4ll bushels.
The MdrkCt Record estimates the stock
Of wheat in country elevators Of Min
nesota and the two DakotaS at 2.9ll, 600
bushels, against l.743,0OO bushels one
week ago. The wheat in elevators OF
the three States thus makes total Of
6,S3l. 100 bushels, an increase for the
week Of l.2l4,ilO bushels.
