WASHINGTON. Aug. 5,-The dying hours
of the first session of the Fifty-second Con-
gress were uneventful and lacking in any
excitement and save for the presence Of
the President and two members of his
Cabinet and an unusually large crowd of
people in the galleries, principally ladies
dressed in summer attire, there
was nothing to denote that the
gayei was about to fall, adjourning the
two houses until December next. Nearly
all the Senators and Representatives In the
city were In their seats when the clock
pointed to the hour set for adjournment,
the corridors and clerks office there was
hustle and excitement incident to the
preparation of bills which passed during
the evening for the Presidents signature.
Shortly after o'clock. as is customary on
such occasions, the President arrived at
the Capitol, and " as immediately shownto
his room, where he was engaged for some
minutes in chatting with Senators and
Vice president Morton, who dropped In to
pay their respects. Owing to the absence of
many Cabinet officers from the city, the
President was accompanied only by Secre-
tary of State Foster. Secretary Noble and
Private Secretary NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Pri-
vate Secretary Pruden having preceded
him with bunch of measures approved
yesterday and to-day at the White House.
Soon after arriving the worlds fair bill was
presented for his signature. and in q few
minutes il became q law. The pen used for
the purpose was given to Editor Elliott K.
Shepard.
Other bills followed and for some minutes
the President was kept busy atiixing bis
name to variOus measures. consisting prin-
cipally, however, of bills of q private
nature. An unusually small number were
presented to him and he soon completed his
task and spent the remainder of his time
talking to Senators and others who hap
pened in. 1t was noticed that the

quently ask the hour and the proba BILE time
of adjournment. AT quarter of ii he was
told that no more measures would be pre-
sented for his approval. and five minutes
after he was on his way to the station,
where he left on the 11:35 train for Loon
lake. The President was accompanied by
Mr.. Tibb0tt. his stenographer, and his
man servant. Private Secretary Halford
will remain in or near Washington during
the Presidents absence.

SHOT BY BAILIFF WILSON.
He Had Been Assaulted in Jail by the Runyan
Brothers. 0ne0f Whom Was Under Arrest.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
BLooMINGroN. Ind, Aug. 5.-Link Run
van was shot and dangerously wounded in
the jail hall by bailiff Robert Wilson this
morning. Grant Runyan is in Jail for
drunkenness and this morning about 10
O'Clock his brothers, Link and James. came
around to see him. Marshal Owens has
had commitmenu for Link Runyau for
some time. on account of an old drunk. and
had depu tized Wilson to arrest him at the
trst opportunity. Accordingly, when Will
son went into the jail hall this morning
and found the Runyans there he arrested
Link. He opened the doors into the iail
and was just pushing Link into the iail
when the latter turned and the two as-
saulted Wilson. They knocked him
down and were about to brain him.
James had club and Link chair.
James Chandler. q prisoner caught these
weapons. and thereby probably saved VII
sons life. At this point Wilson shouted
for his revolver. and it was brought by
Sheriff Taris's dau shter. Miss Eta. When
this arrived the Runyans turned to 90 out
of the way and Wilson fired twice. One
ball penetrated the right lung and lod ged

PITTsBURG, Aug. 5.-Mr. II. c. Frick sur.
prised his friends and acquaintance
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning by ap-
pearing at the company's Office and enter.
ing again on his duties, which were inter-
rupted thirteen days ago by the attack
made on him by the would-be assassin,
Alexander Bergman. Mr.. Frick looks re-
markably we'll His step is as brisk as
ever, his face shows no trace of suffering.
and the energy with which he transacts
business Is unimpaired. Tho first act of
the steel king on arriving at his desk was
to send q cablegram to Mr. Carnegie noti-
flying him tnat he had resumed his official
functions. In an interview Mr.. Frick said:
"I am feeling In excellent shape and will
60 right along from now attending TO my
affairs. Fortunately there 10 nothing be-
hind, for in my absence the work has been
most satisfactorily done by the various
officials and clerks"
AT Carnegie's city mills absolutely no
change in the situation could be noted to-
day. Five new men went to work and two
quit No more departments are running
as yet, the firm seeming to have abandoned
the attempt to make o full resum ptlon for
q Gay or TWO at least.
The borough of Duquesne was as quiet
to-day as q New England farming village.
The military guards patrolled the ap-
proaches to the steel works all day, but no
attempt to do more than work on repairs
was made, and the strikers preserved ex-
cellent order. The Anal gamated men at
Duquesne are now said to be very doubt
full of the end of the strike. Many of them
are of the opinion that the men are weak
ening every day. and must finally suocumb.
1t is not because the leaders of the associa-
tion are faltering but because they cannot
keep the men in line.
Mr.. John +. Cox, attorney for the Home
stead workmen, left town last night.
Where he went and what his mission was
is not known. tits thought, however. that
he went to Harrisburg to place before the
Attorney general the affidavlts of the men
who left the Homestead works. He will
probably try to have the Attorney-ge
interfere and stop the alleged importation
of mon under false pretenses by the Carne-
Qie COMPANY.

Steelmen Say They Can No Longer DO Bust

PITTsBURG, Aug 5.-David B. Oliver, to-
day, discussing the proposition of the
manufacturers, submitted to the Amalga.
mated Association to arbitrate the wage
scale differences said: '.I am convinced
that unless the Amalgamated Association
makes a radical change in its methods the
manufacturers of Pittsburg will be obliged
to free themselves completely from its con.
troll, and that very soon. Year by year
matters have drifted into the condition
that brings about q total stoppage of busi-
ness, for from four to six weeks, each re-
curing scale-siGning period.
with our works stopped and our non-
union competitors here and all over the
country in operation, this is q very un busi-
ness-like management, and must be
changed. The matter IL aggravated by the
fact that of all the manufacturers Of
structural material in the country. all but
three or four are outside of the Amalga-
mated Association, and can make contracts
and deliveries in bueiness-like way, and
We are at q ruin ous disadvantage. Despite
the desire of the manufacturers for peace,
all these draw backs and Determinations
are working the manufacturers to the nom
union point. and unless the Amalgamated
changes its course We will be forced to get

Unanimous Report Against the Harum-
Scarum Project

Scarum Project
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The committee ON
ways and means, through Mr.. McMillin,
to-day made q unanimous report adverse
to the sub treasury bill. The report is q
long document, and discusses all phases of
the question In comprehensive style. 1t
proceeds to state the objections that occur
to the committee. Those. briefly stated,
are as follows: If there should be reduc-
tion IN vl.ue of goods after they are stored
below 80 per cent the government would
lose; il the value increased the government
would get none of the profit. The jurisdic-
tiOn of the federal courts would be in.
creased so as to make them an instrument
of oppression of the people. The bill tends
strongly towards Capitalization. and inter-
feres with individual freedom. Great fiuc-
tuation In currency will follow it's enact
ment. The operations of the bill would
not be confined to farmers but the iron
man. the lumber man and the man
ufacturers generally would complain
until the governments fixed limit TO
possible loss ct 20 per cent. to them, and so
on. The government would be usurpng
the functions of the citizens. and attending
to every body's business but it's own. The
inauguration of the scheme would be the
speculator's delight; he could carry S470 COO
worth of wheat with less than S95 900 cash,
and pay the government only per cent. in
terest The great increase In the number
of federal officials would mako il almost
impossible to dislodge q corrupt administra-
tion. No provision is made for rhe redemp-
tion of the many millions to be Issued un-
der the bill. and banks would have the
power to force a destruction of anv part of
the governments money. The bill is class
legislation, and it would he unjust TO the
day laborer and other toilers. People hav-
ing particular kind of property 80 deposit

ernment, and lend it at a higher rate to

cisms of Colonel streator.
NASHUA, N. H., Aug. 5.-The Evening
Telegraph to-day prints a letter from
Captain Hunt, commanding Battery z al

torial in the paper charging that the pun.
ishment Of private Iams was unjustifiedly

Colonel Streator, as the suspension by the
thumbs did not throw the whole weight of
his body on those members. After FIVE
minutes suspension he asked for chew of
tobacco in the same arrogant insolens
manner which was characteristic of his en-
tire conduct in camp, and also all through
his service in the guard. He purposely
swallowed some of the tobacco to make
himself sick, according to his own self
confessed statement sfterward. He was
let down from the ridge-pole OF the
tent after twenty minutes suspension. suf-

ing swallowed the tobacco. During the en-
